  1. How to make Lady Gaga's music tolerable:
  2. Top Gear pays tribute to their all-time favorite car company. Top Gear Loves Lancia
  3. Bumblebee was just involved in a car accident in Washington, D.C. DC Cop Didn't Get the Memo (Quote-protected because Wanzerfan is still a dumbass.)
  4. Problem is that Skids was not a memorable character in G1, as he only appeared in at most two episodes of the cartoon. Unless the figure is very good, Skids would be just a shelf-warmer. There have already been other Stunticon repaints; just more rare than Drag Strip. Breakdown was a BotCon exclusive repaint of Sideswipe/Sunstreaker, but in his G2 colors. Wildrider was a Japan exclusive black repaint of Rodimus. All that's left are Dead End (maybe use the Tracks or Jazz mold, as the Prowl/Silverstreak/Smokescreen mold is way overused) and Motormaster (definitely use the Optimus Prime mold).
  5. Turbo Tracks Reviewed - A definite keeper.
  6. Probably the best movie series from Randall Ng and Dr. Smoov. (Quote-protected because Wanzerfan is a dumbass.)
  7. Screensaver, anyone? Girls Generation Screensaver (or click on the video for direct WIN/MAC download links)
  8. The new Batmobile? (Quote-protected because Wanzerfan is still a dumbass.) 2011 Panoz Abruzzi
  9. D'oh! I mixed up the engine specs of the Elise with the Eterne. Fixed.
  10. No wonder Wanzerfan likes him.
  11. (Video's been deleted. Nothing to see here.)
  12. The Nerd takes you back to the game that pioneered the horror-action genre.
  13. Forgot to mention about the Looney Tunes opener "Fur of Flying". It's your typical Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner cartoon, only in 3D animation. And it's really just that: an opening act. Wile E. Coyote and Road Runner cartoons got lame after WB fired Chuck Jones over four decades ago; this is no different. For many reasons, it just doesn't feel right to have them computer animated. The colors of both characters are too bright and their movements seem to be forced. And the whole cliche of Coyote falling off a cliff and being crushed by boulders has been done to death; making it 3D doesn't make it any better. WB should just leave our beloved Looney Tunes in 2D instead.
  14. Lotus unveils its future lineup. 2013 Lotus Elan Approx. US$118,650 4-liter V6, 444 bhp, 343 lb-ft torque 2,855 lbs. 0-60 in 3.5 sec; top speed 193 mph 2013 Lotus Esprit Approx.

  15. I bet you like to do a little choking in bed yourself.
  16. Why not cast Aria Giovanni or Veronica Zemanova instead?
  17. Eat your heart out, Terry Crews! (Quote-protected because Wanzerfan is still a dumbass.)
  18. No Lynda Carter = Not a good Wonder Woman show.
  19. On September 30, 2010, Stephen J. Cannell died of complications associated with melanoma. For nearly four decades, he had written and/or created numerous TV shows such as The Rockford Files, The Greatest American Hero, The A-Team, Hunter, Riptide, Hardcastle & McCormick, 21 Jump Street, Wiseguy and The Commish. His company logo has also been an iconic staple on primetime TV. R.I.P. Stephen J. Cannell.
  20. Legend of the Guardians: The Owls of Ga'Hoole Animal Logic/Village Roadshow Pictures/Warner Bros. Pictures, 2010 Directed by Zack Snyder (300, Watchmen) Based on the children's book series Guardians of Ga'Hoole by Kathryn Lasky Running Time: 90 minutes Rated PG for violence and some scary elements. Cast Jim Sturgess (Jude in Across the Universe) as Soren the Barn Owl Ryan Kwanten (Jason in True Blood) as Kludd the Barn Owl Helen Mirren (Morgana in Excalibur) as Nyra the Barn Owl Joel Edgerton (Owen Lars in Star Wars Episode II-III) as Metalbeak the Sooty Owl Geoffrey Rush (Barbossa in Pirates of the Caribbean) as Ezylryb the Whiskered Screech Owl Emily Barclay as Gylfie the Elf Owl Anthony LaPaglia (Malone in Without a Trace) as Twilight the Great Grey Owl David Wenham (Faramir in Lord of the Rings, Dilios in 300) as Digger the Burrowing Owl Myriam Margolyes (Professor Sprout in Harry Potter) as Mrs. Plithiver the Black Mamba Adrienne deFaria as Eglantine the Barn Owl Sam Neill (Alan in Jurassic Park I & III, Dr. Weir in Event Horizon) as Allomere the Great Grey Owl Hugo Weaving (like no one here knows who he is...) as Noctus the Barn Owl and Grimble the Boreal Owl Richard Roxburgh (Dracula in Van Helsing, Hugh Stamp in Mission: Impossible II) as King Boron the Barn Owl Debora-Lee Furness as Queen Barran the Barn Owl Synopsis One night, while attempting to fly in their forest, Soren and his brother Kludd are kidnapped and sent to a faraway kingdom ruled by the evil Metalbeak and Nyra. During their ordeal, Kludd becomes a soldier of the "Pure Ones", while Soren and a female owl named Gylfie become slaves assigned to gather magnetic metal flecks that weaken owls. Shortly thereafter, Soren and Gylfie escape from their captors on a perilous journey to the legendary kingdom of Ga'Hoole, where they must warn the Guardians of Metalbeak's evil plot to rule over all owls. Story: B- There really isn't much to expect on a children's storybook adapted into film. One thing I didn't expect was how rushed the storyline felt, given that the movie runs at 90 minutes. You don't really get to know most of the characters and some plot elements seem to be pretty vague. Perhaps a sequel would explain this whole universe further. Animation: A++ Animal Logic, best known for Happy Feet, strikes gold with this film. The visuals are just downright stunning and the owls look very enigmatic. Zack Snyder, best known for his slow-motion camera work, uses his profound technique to further enhance all the eye candy. And the effect is best experienced in 3D, with all the feathers, beaks and talons in full detail. Soundtrack: A The orchestral score by David Hirschfelder really goes well with all of the film's action scenes. The theme song "To the Sky" by Owl City isn't bad, either. The Bottom Line Despite a lackluster story, you'll definitely give a hoot about watching this film in 3D.

  21. You can best believe that He's a Wanzerfan Everything that he posts Should be considered spam HEY! HEY! HEY HEY HEY! Wanzer Wanzerfan He had to be a Wanzerfan Wanzer Wanzerfan Don't ever be a Wanzer...
  22. One thing I forgot to mention was that this movie uses Dutch Angles for most of its camera shots. Sound familiar?
  23. Yeah, but it can't be any heavier than the Bugatti Veyron, right? Also, The XJ220 is of older technology with a V6 that generates roughly half of what this concept does, yet it can go up to 217 mph. Something's just not right about the concept's numbers.
