  1. Google takes one more step into becoming Skynet. Google Acquires Boston Dynamics, the Robot Builder Behind Big Dog and Cheetah
  2. As of now, no decision has been made on continuing production on Fast & Furious 7, but there's a rumor out that Paul Walker's younger brother Cody will step in to film the final scenes. The former stuntman could just be a stand-in for most of the action scenes, with his face CG'd for close-up shots. Fast & Furious 7 Rumor: Paul Walker's Brother Cody to Step In and Film Final Scenes
  3. On the left is the Entry Grade (EG) RX-78-2 Gundam, which was manufactured in China by Bandai in 2010. The EG line was intended to introduce Gundam to emerging markets. It's essentially a First Grade (FG) kit made cheaper (around US$7). With this, you get a lot of hollow joints, significantly less articulation, and more paint to use due to the parts being molded in only three colors. Also available were the Strike Gundam, Gundam Exia, and 00 Gundam. The EG line was discontinued shortly after. For more information, check out 2Old4Toys' video reviews:
  4. One of my nieces loves the movie. Unfortunately, all the good toys related to it are sold out. Especially these dolls.
  5. The nominees of the 71st Golden Globe Awards have been announced. Frozen pretty much has these two categories in the bag. Best Original Song – Motion Picture “Atlas” (The Hunger Games: Catching Fire) - Coldplay “Let It Go” (Frozen) - Idina Menzel “Ordinary Love” (Mandela: Long Walk to Freedom) - U2 “Please Mr. Kennedy” (Inside Llewyn Davis) - Justin Timberlake “Sweeter Than Fiction” (One Chance) - Taylor Swift Best Animated Feature Film The Croods Despicable Me 2 Frozen Wait a minute - Monsters University isn't nominated? Sure, it wasn't all that, but Pixar missing a nomination like this is very uncharacteristic. Anyway, a couple of reviews:
  6. Definitely gonna bring this to a Gunpla Battle. Gundam 00 Qan[T] 26 Sword
  7. The Lyonheart K is a modern take on the classic Jaguar E-Type, with only 250 units to be produced from December 2013 to summer 2015. Under the hood is a supercharged Cosworth 5 liter V8 that generates 567 bhp and 516 lb-ft torque. Prices start at €360,000, and the delivery time is between 18 to 24 months. 2014 Lyonheart K
  8. Been working on the 1/144 Build Strike Gundam Full Package for the past two days. The only stickers I used are the eyes and camera lenses. Also painted the Mega Beam Rifle to the anime-accurate white and green colors. Just some additional touch-ups and it should be done over the weekend.
  9. "Fixer Upper" is probably the weakest of all the songs (even weaker than "Reindeer(s) Are Better Than People"), but it's the icebreaker that prevented the film from becoming almost as dark as the source material. Yes, the character development is rather shallow compared to other Disney films, especially since this project took over a decade (actually even during Walt's time) to get off the ground. The whole prophecy of the Snow Queen is completely watered down to basically non-existence, especially when you listen to the outtake songs of the Deluxe Edition soundtrack. The male characters are simply wasted throughout the whole story. And yes, Elsa is clearly the better sister. Nonetheless, the final product is very satisfying as a whole. The artwork and animation may not be Pixar material, but the landscape shots are absolutely breathtaking and the ice effects are simply gorgeous. Elsa is undoubtedly among the most beautiful of all the Disney Princesses (though she's actually a Queen), and Anna is just cute with her freckles and small streak of white on her red hair. Olaf is just one of the best sidekick characters in an animated feature. Definitely worth picking up on Blu-ray Disc. BTW, did anyone here stay after the credits?
  10. Here's one of the automotive channels I'm following: Mighty Car Mods. It's an Australian show that gives a humorous look at fixing and modifying cars. This week, Marty and Moog get their new rides. Following the ceremonial departure of his Daihatsu "Blue Turd", Marty goes back to his Subaru roots and gets a sleeper Liberty (Legacy) wagon with an STi engine. Meanwhile, Moog, who is normally a Nissan guy, gets a near-mint Honda S2000.
  11. Kinda expected on a transforming kit. At least it's better than the Zeta 1.0, which easily falls apart.
  12. The Chick Magnet has been reviewed. Now it's time to test Fellini's theory.
  13. Cool! I just hope the quality of WWE programming improves by then.
  14. Shuichi Ikeda as Char Aznable (Mobile Suit Gundam series) "I'll show you that a superior mobile suit has its limits when it goes up against a superior mobile suit pilot!" Born Casval Rem Deikun, the son of Zeon Zum Deikun of the Republic of Zeon. Following Zeon Zum Daikun's assassination, Casval and his younger sister Artesia Som Deikun (now Sayla Mass) fled to Earth after the Zabi clan restructured the republic into the Principality of Zeon and ordered the elimination of Deikun's clan and followers. Taking the name of an identical-looking friend who was mistakenly killed under Kycilia Zabi's orders, Casval became Char Aznable and entered the Zeon military ranks to exact revenge on the Zabi clan. Despite initially being depicted as one of the main antagonists of Mobile Suit Gundam, Char is clearly an antihero seeking his own justice. "Garma, blame this on the misfortune of your birth." Despite his supposed death at the end of the One Year War, Char resurfaces as one of the protagonists in Mobile Suit Zeta Gundam under the pseudonym "Quattro Bajeena" before reappearing as the main antagonist in Char's Counterattack. Regardless of how people have viewed him over the past three decades, Char Aznable has become one of the most iconic characters in anime history. "Garma, I'm sending your sister to join you. Consider this my farewell gift."
  15. Maleficent is Disney's live-action prequel/remake of their 1959 animated classic Sleeping Beauty. The film marks the directorial debut of production designer Robert Stromberg (Alice in Wonderland, Oz the Great and Powerful) and stars Angelina Jolie (like no one here knows who she is...) as the iconic Disney villain. Also starring are Elle Fanning (Dakota Fanning's lesser-known sister) as Princess Aurora, Sharlto Copley (Wikus in District 9, Kruger in Elysium) as King Stefan, Brendon Thwaites (Jonas in The Giver) as Prince Phillip, Juno Temple (Jen in The Dark Knight Rises, Sally in Sin City: A Dame to Kill For) as Thistlewit, Sam Riley (Vincent in 13, Darvell in Byzantium) as Diaval, Miranda Richardson (Rita Skeeter in the Harry Potter series, Queen of Hearts in Alice in Wonderland) as Queen Ulla, and Imelda Staunton (Vera Drake, Dolores Jane Umbridge in the Harry Potter series) as Knotgrass. The film hits theaters on May 30, 2014. Official Site
  16. Because The Matrix franchise made them boatloads of money enough to not flinch after Speed Racer, Ninja Assassin and Cloud Atlas tanked in the box office.
  17. Here's a video of Scott Adkins practicing his moves as Ryan Reynolds' stunt double as Deadpool in X-Men Origins: Wolverine. Now imagine the action on Ninja: Shadow of a Tear.
  18. TLC: Tables, Ladders & Chairs is this Sunday on PPV. As usual, here are my predictions: Title-for-Title TLC Match: John Cena (World) vs. Randy Orton (WWE) 2013 will most likely go out as WWE's worst year, and while unifying both main championships is a good thing, it's with the wrong wrestlers. Therefore, it's not worth watching. WWE Intercontinental Championship: Big E Langston © vs. Damien Sandow It's obvious that Big E is not getting over with the crowd and Sandow is the most misused wrestler in the roster. Big E will most likely squash Sandow. What a waste. WWE Divas Championship: AJ Lee © vs. Natalya Two words: Piss break. 3-on-1 Handicap: CM Punk vs. The Shield (Dean Ambrose, Roman Reigns & Seth Rollins) The Shield has lost their steam, so expect Pepsi Boy to win. 3-on-1 Handicap: Daniel Bryan vs. The Wyatt Family (Bray Wyatt, Luke Harper & Erick Rowan) Bryan doesn't deserve this humiliation. Pre-Show Kickoff: Faaannn... daaaaannnnn... gooooo... vs. Dolph Ziggler What a waste of Ziggler's talent.
