  1. Of course it's a cash grab. They all are. Do you think Titanic or Avatar was released for some other reason? In this day and age, shame is the last thing corporations care about, ask Sideshow Bob what's more important, a few more dollars for the bottom line or the legacy of the frozen. Besides, do you see anyone calling for a boycott?
  2. If they can re-release Avatar and Titanic to get some extra bucks and break some records, they can damn well re-release Endgame with some extra shots and pull in a few more million. This is the Disney money machine we're talking about here. NOthing is too small for it to ignore.
  3. Nice, at least it's not some turbo ramjet bullshit. But I wonder how it will fare in the world of stealth aircraft.
  4. You know, the real answer here is: "MORE HOT CHICKS" Otherwise, I don't see this any worse than Bayverse Transformers. And I'm sure we can get people better looking than Megan Fox, and that British chick from the third movie. Remember, it doesn't matter what ethnicity, scantily clad girls sponging down cars or mechs sell in any country.
  5. For the defense industrial complex, they should treat their systems like they were fighting cylons. Air gap everything. No WiFi or Bluetooth in buildings. USB ports removed, no CDs or floppies anywhere. No cell phones or cameras. Yeah, I am old fashioned.
  6. So, water horse, Elsa vs Moana? ok, I pick Moana in a straight up fight, cause without her ice powers, Elsa is a toothpick. And Moana snaps little toothpicks.
  7. you know, I haven't seen this flick yet, but from what I've read, I get the feeling that they were rushing things too much. I mean, they literally threw in everything, including the King, all at once. I wish they did a Marvelesque build up. They could've milked this movie for a whole universe. As it stands, we'll have four movies.
  8. For JW4; I can only hope that they bring in Carrie-Ann, and Hugo. In terms of another Zero type character, I think they need to up the stakes a bit more. May be Iko Uwais, he is another Raid alumn, and certainly one for can bring credibility to the martial arts portion of things. I also hope that
  9. Steve Trevor unleashed and undead... then he'll turn out to be Hades.... "Diana, I am your daddy, and you were trying to kiss me... seriously, this isn't George Lucas's fantasy world, I mean would you have kissed Ares if he was wearing Trevor's face."
  10. Finally got around to seeing this the other day. I think you're right, the High Table stuff is starting to get annoying. You would imagine that there was a bunch of guys sitting around and debating rules and stuff. Because at some point, John Wick would just say, screw it, I'm going to kill the entire High Table, and the man above. If he killed enough of the High Table, I wonder if it would matter to the rest. Also, I found this whole killing a member of the High Table thing to be a little odd, because Santonio technically ordered the killing of a member of the High Table, but there isn't any repercussions there. Anyway, too much quibble on minor details like this. Good popcorn flick, although some of the fight scenes are getting a little stale. the part that I found hilarious was when:
  11. Oh my God, I'm blind. all that color.... my eyes... And what's with the extra armor, are we making some kind of statement? If so, why not just shove a helmet on Gal as well. Just have a little bit of hair sticking out.
  12. Last Blood... that seems so... final. But hey, if John Rambo kicks the bucket, that works for me. May be we can get Die Hard: The END next.
  13. The scary thing is that after all is said and done, TFA might be the best entry out of this particular trilogy. I for one thought TFA hit all the high points, TLJ was a turd looking for a toilet bowl, we'll see if TROS is redeeming in anyway. So far, I'm not thrilled. I guess they are gearing the trilogy to the millennials and youngish viewers. May be it'll resonate with them, but I doubt it, people will know crap when they see it.
  14. No kidding, AH64 is one of the most maintenance intensive aircraft all around.
  15. Cue the F-15EX, although I really like that idea. Realistically, having commonality of parts is not a bad idea. I am curious though about the similarities in flight control between the AH-64 and Its follow on, might make it easier for pilot transition.
  16. As long as he shaves that dirt from his face, and shines it up nice. I think he could be a McGiness
  17. can this thing carry 24 hellfires? It's certainly got the pylons for it. But seriously, can we bring back the Comanche?
  18. All of this stuff about using unmanned aircraft is going to take a radical turn in the next twenty years. Right now, it's all about precision guided munitions gunning down vehicles. Or putting it on something like a Predator. But sooner or later, they are going to for real deploy those drone swarms that the navy tested last year. Those are going to be targeting individuals. Sure, the launch vehicle is going to be vulnerable for now, since you can take down an F-18, but what happens on the day when they start deploying these little drones from cruise missiles, or hypersonic weapons. There is going to be a big challenge trying to swat those drone swarms, and that's before people start to redeploy sensor fuzed weapons.
  19. I would agree with the treatment of the Hulk as the downside, and seriously, Wished the Russo’s were consistent with GOtG on why infinity gems aren’t good for the user.
  20. I'm just waiting for them to pull the switchroo on Mysterio. Can't tell from the trailer, but wouldn't surprise me if all of these were just giant hallucinations. Supposedly Keaton is in this, wonder how he'll show up.
  21. I would bet at some point during the entire process of setting up the Avengers, Sideshow Bob asked these guys what they would do with the end of the phase 3. What are the plans for the future.
  22. So, Russo’s essential point was that everything is up for grabs. In a way, that makes it less impactful because there isn’t permanence outside of the need for RDJ to get more cash from Sideshow Bob.
  23. 2202 was a bit of a downer if you ask me. Episode 26 didn't do much to hurt, but it didn't do much to help either. They focused on random smash up actions where the story essentially took second place to whatever was catching someone's fancy at the moment. Overall, it was not a worthy successor to 2199. Hope they do a better job on series 3. And yes, lots of unresolved questions still around Gamilas... we'll see what happens next.
