  1. Here's one for all the Z fans. To celebrate the 40th anniversary of the Z, Nissan unveiled this special edition 370Z, priced at $38,860 and limited to 1,000 units. It's basically the Touring model with the Sport Package upgrade, a premium "40th Graphite" color with red leather interior and loads of special badges. 2010 Nissan 370Z 40th Anniversary Edition
  2. Now I've got problems with my VF-25S. In only the second time transforming it to Battroid mode, the left hinge that connects the backpack to the upper torso snapped off. I managed to super glue it back in place, but I also discovered two more cracked hinges behind the chest.
  3. On the contrary, I enjoyed watching Mazinkaiser. The action is well-paced, the mecha designs are phenomenal and the music is excellent. Yes, there's some T&A, but not enough to derail the show's awesomeness.
  4. It fails as a Super Robot anime because it brings nothing new to the table. The mecha designs are dull and lackluster, the fights are boring and the blatant recycling of Michiaki/Chuumei Watanabe's music from various other Super Robot titles just makes the experience less enjoyable. Not even the awesome theme song by Akira Kushida can save this farce. And Sho Hayami was the only good thing going for Gravion.
  5. Hated it when it first came out, still hate it now. Fails as a Super Robot anime, even more as a T&A fan service. It's hard to decide which is worse: this or Gravion. There was never a wrong way to make a Super Robot anime, until Godannar and Gravion showed up. Even Yoshiyuki Tomino made at least three attempts to destroy the Super Robot genre (Zanbot-3, Daitarn-3 and Ideon), but he just made it more enjoyable in the long run. Godannar and Gravion just gave the genre a bad name. Original Review
  6. I got my VF-25S Armored Messiah today. Out of the box, the paint on the right shoulder is already chipped away. The shoulder joints, especially the one on the right, are extremely tight. I'm disappointed by the way the head does not align properly with the fuselage in fighter mode. Also not pleased by the lack of storage compartment in the shield for the combat knife. Yes, there are flaws to the figure, but it's not as bad as I had expected. Right now, I'm finishing the panel lines on the unit and repainting the Gun Pod and combat knife to more realistic colors before I begin a pictorial on it.
  7. Is GM desperate to keep their loyal customers? Definitely, as they are offering Saturn owners up to $2,000 in incentives on a new Chevy, Buick, GMC or Cadillac. And they don't need to trade in their Saturns for the offer. GM Offering Saturn Owners $2,000 to Stay With Company
  8. Let's look at it this way: VW America is too focused on selling the GTI and milking the hell out of the New Beetle (which, I've heard, was a flop in Europe) that they don't seem to care about the Scirocco. Yeah, it really is a stupid decision to not sell the car stateside, as I'm sure it will give coupes like the bloated Mitsubishi Eclipse a run for the money.
  9. VW America claims that the Scirocco would cannibalize GTI sales if it were introduced in the US. Pretty lame excuse, as the first-generation Scirocco' largest market was the US - and it sold alongside the GTI Mk. I.
  10. Uglier than the Porsche Panamera or even the Pontiac Aztek? You decide...
  11. Speaking of which, anyone here tired of hearing Wonder Girls' "Nobody" all over the place?
  12. The guy who edited/directed this video is French, so his English isn't so great. Otherwise, what ambitious work he's done.
  13. The wait is finally over. Terminator vs. RoboCop Episode 3 (Part 1)
  14. I wonder if this qualifies... Wapakman - starring boxing champion Manny Pacquiao
  15. I'll be in the minority and vote for A Clockwork Orange.
  16. Wait - are you saying Texas Chainsaw Massacre: The Next Generation is worse?
  17. Not really sci-fi (but since horror films are placed in the same category by most people), but Case 39 starring Renee Zellweger is one of the most inane and uninteresting horror movies ever made.
  18. What does this have to do with Macross?
  19. How about rebooting Macross Dynamite 7 into something less lame than Basara singing with galactic whales?
