  1. The Models section is strictly for Macross models only. And this thread should be merged with the existing Gundam Plamodel Thread.
  2. Not even after Ricky Ho shoved him down a meat grinder?
  3. The Insurance Institute for Highway Safety celebrated their 50th anniversary with - what else? - a car crash. The IIHS filmed a head-on collision between a 2009 Chevrolet Malibu and a 1959 Chevrolet Bel Air, just to show how much safety features have progressed over the past 50 years.

  4. Yeah, last I heard, Hitler was ranting about .
  5. I bet that if she becomes senator, she'll create a loophole that grants Vinnie Mac immunity from steroid charges.
  6. Former KISS lead guitarist Ace Frehley just released his first solo album in over 20 years. Based on the samples played on YouTube, Anomaly seems to sound better than KISS' upcoming Sonic Boom CD.
  7. Personally, I could care less about the SLS, as I'll never own a Benz in my life. Their reliability rating's gone down the drain and their resale value sucks. The SLS isn't that ugly, though, especially if you park one next to the Porsche Panamera.
  8. To each his own, I'd say. Never was really big into Game Boy or DS since the first one came out 20 years ago. I still prefer Nintendo's Game & Watch units from way back.
  9. Producer Lorenzo Di Bonaventura said in an interview that Mini-Cons are cool. Could this spell disaster for the next TF film?
  10. Yeah, both cars do look the same. Unless both cars were designed by the same person, I wouldn't be surprised if a lawsuit were to occur. Ascari KZ1 McLaren MP4-12C
  11. Jean-Baptiste Grenouille (Perfume: The Story of a Murderer) - Who in the right mind would go and murder a dozen virgins just to cover them in animal fat and distill their essences just to make perfume?
  12. That would be a tough call, as Jones was the brains behind everything. Besides, how would Clarence fare against ED-209, even if he's armed with a Cobra rifle?
  13. Mercedes-Benz has released photos of their successor to the SLR McLaren. The SLS AMG is powered by a naturally-aspirated 6.3 liter V8 that generates 571 bhp and 479 lb-ft torque. Acceleration from 0-60 is 3.8 seconds and its top speed is 197 mph. Estimated price is €177,310 (approx $258,620), but expect it to go for more when it hits showrooms. 2010 Mercedes-Benz SLS AMG
  14. I used to own a typewriter. Look where that technology went.
  15. Idi Amin (The Last King of Scotland) - Forrest Whitaker's portrayal of the Ugandan tyrant succeeded as a real-life dictator on film where Hitler eventually failed.
  16. McLaren is back - this time, with a less expensive supercar that's built from scratch and not from any other firm. Priced between £125,000 - £175,000, the MP4-12C is powered by McLaren's 3.8 liter twin-turbo V8 that generates 600 bhp and is mated to a seven-speed Seamless Shift dual-clutch gearbox (SSG). Can't wait to find out its performance numbers. 2011 McLaren MP4-12C
  17. Yeah, talk about thread necromancy. The previous poster mentioned that Hitler was the best movie bad guy of all-time. Perhaps he was one of the ultimate villains in real life, but unfortunately, no one takes Hitler on film seriously anymore. Especially Downfall, which has been parody subbed thousands of times on YouTube. Just click on the link below for some samples: Hitler Downfall Parodies BTW, I haven't seen Inglorious Basterds yet, so how was Hitler's portrayal on that film.
  18. Edmunds has some rather amateurish test drivers. A lot of cars they test are below the results of other magazines. I once saw a Mustang test and they were .4 seconds behind Car and Driver's numbers. Also, they tested the Dodge Challenger SE and they got 8.2 seconds on their 0-60. Now, I know that particular model is garbage, but Edmunds made it too obvious with their slow driver.
  19. This is one very nice ride. The Aston's not too bad, either. 2009 Aston Martin Vantage Hellvelyn Frost by MW Design Technik
  20. - Impressive on the straightaway (0-60 in 4.1 sec), but rubbish on handling (0.83g).
  21. There's a reason for that: the larger TFs are marketed to kids. Right, Hasbro - as if the average parent will actually fork over that much $$$ for chunks of plastic.
  22. Yeah, and what the producer will do is grab some random bodybuilder and CG his face to look like Stallone.
  23. For a while, I had never heard of AICN. I thought they were called "It Ain't Cool News" whenever some major film rumor popped out.
  24. Did anyone here buy into Digital Compact Cassette (DCC) back in the mid-1990s?
