G.I. Joe 2: Operation Body Massage
Roy Focker replied to VT 1010's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
It was an entertaining movie with a ton of things that didn't make sense. I think the weakest part of the movie was the whole Ninja story. President Zartan plotting stuff with Cobra and The Rock & Wonder Woman on the run was good stuff. But the Ninja story. It was weak, didn't feel like it belong with the rest. Would have been better if the Ninjas were in their own separate movie or instead of using the Red Ninja temple and Ninja court they should had Snake Eyes and Jinx just follow them to a Cobra Base after the prison breakout and confront Storm Shadow there.- 264 replies

Saw it earlier tonight. I noticed that many scenes feature in the trailer doesn't even appear in the film. There's also a scene (shown in bts reel) of all the Joes trading shots with Cobra on the helicopter.- 264 replies

Wait two SDF ships. One of them a ship that won every battle both lost in combat against a single ship of Khyron. Man characters are incompetent in Robotech.

Last year I was working on making a short (non-Macross*) fan film. My funds were limited so I ended up making an even shorter prologue for the longer short I really would liked to make. When editing is complete on this prologue I plan trying my luck on Kickstarter to see if we can raise enough funds. On kickstarter you usually offer some incentives for your backers. I've been brain storming several ideas and one of them is exclusive merchandise. Things like official t-shirts only 50 of them will be made and that sort of thing. What brings me here is that I'll need to find a graphic artist who can create a logo. Not asking for any one to work for free but I'll make it clear right now there isn't too much money. What I like to do is offer a deferred payment arrangement. Where I pay for some of the work now but the majority of the payment comes from a successful Kickstarter. If interested send me a PM with examples of your work, background and rates. *Right now I'm not publicly disclosing the nature of the project. I will in private discussions. As a crowd funded project I want to use any possible buzz surrounding it to the maximum potential. I don't want to have people interested in it but no place for them to actually crowd fund it. I wish it was Macross based but I decided against it for two reasons. #1. Cost vs Interest. Production costs are naturally gonna be higher and Macross is too narrow in appeal to raise enough funding to do it right. Not that it couldn't be done. There are plenty of scenes in Macross that just involve two characters talking in a single room. Problem is I think people would rather see mecha flying around over two characters talking about their relationship. #2. Lack of Appropriate Talent. I want to cast the right people for the parts. To do Macross right you'll need to have the right Asian actors. While I do have access to an Asian community not everyone is an Actor or a Model. I'd be essential limiting myself to only a dozen or so actors to choose from. Even if I did find a few winners out of that dozen people do move and stuff trying to replace them would be hard. Ironically a third of my cast and crew are Asian.

Who cares if Megan Fox is in the movie and as April. This is a movie based on an extremely far fetched kids cartoon and comic book.

Does anyone really find the concept of playing a cyborg appealing? This guy had his arms, legs and I assume dick chopped off. Then replaced by robot parts. Sure they have super ninja human abilities but they've all been mutilated. I assume many like the cyborg police did willingly. At least Robo-Cop didn't have a choice.

The computer and electronics super geek thread
Roy Focker replied to azrael's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Toshiba's Final Solution Well I got an email answer back from the repair center. Basically they run a couple of diagnostics software programs on computers to look for problem if it comes clean they send it back. They don't tear open your computer to check for a hardware issues unless the hardware issues happens while they're in possession of the computer. They admitted in email that since it is a random issue it could something like a pinched cable but that isn't something they don't look for. I don't understand why people just don't physical look for a problem instead of running a program. Today I called the Support line asking what happens when this problems happens again. Basically even though my warranty has expired they guaranty the "repair" for 30 days after service. Person on the phone said I should revert my computer back to factory day one settings. Something that they had me do already. After reverting it back I shouldn't install any new software and if the computer acts up again with in 30 days I should send it back. If it acts up on day 31 I'm out of luck. Here's a problem about reverting to factory settings and not adding stuff to it. I already did that. We already exhausted all the possible software issues. What is the point of having a computer if you can't add stuff to it? My computer is 3 years old. As soon I try to do something like go to youtube with it or read a PDF I'm gonna get a message that some program is out of date. If I can't add stuff to my computer I won't be using it that much during the next 30 days. If I'm rarely using it the chances that this random will occur again during this time is very slim. Plus if I send it back to factory day one setting it will not have any virus protection. I can install what I'm using now but that would be adding something to it. I'm not gonna be paying bills online without any virus protection. I asked what happens if the problem returns at full force on day 31. I take to a local repair shop and they find it something they failed to find? In that case I get move to a case worker. Here's what I'm gonna do: I will reinstall all my favorite programs and start using my computer like normal. I will likely save very little files on my machine. I will only keep files on it that I use monthly. I will pretty much save every files after done using it to both the computer and external harddrive after every use. I think that is excessive but I don't know when the screen is just going to die or a minute or for good. When the screen dies for good. I will take it to a locally owned repair shop that is also an authorized Toshiba repair shop. I will pay them to find the actual problem. After getting an estimate I will confront Toshiba with the evidence that it was this problem all along and ask if they want to do the right thing. If they are a-holes about it. I will see if the repair itself are within my budget. I will then see about reporting them to every cusomer fraud reporting agency possible or what not. In conclusion if your friends or family tell about how they are thinking about buying a new computer please tell them about my experience with Toshiba. Tell them that Toshiba makes good computer about have the absolute horrible customer service and repair service. They will give you nothing but headaches. -
The computer and electronics super geek thread
Roy Focker replied to azrael's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Hey where was Roy? He was waiting for his computer to be fixed by Toshiba. He had an older computer and a smart phone but those are somewhat limited. Well did they repair my computer? Why don't you read this email I sent them after getting my computer back... And yes my warranty expired while it under their care. From the limited information on invoice it looks like they just did some software test. Which has already been tested and everything I've read says if it passes with software and the problem keeps happening it is then a hardware issue. Sounds to me like they decided to go back to square one with all the testing. I honestly think they did this on purpose to avoid doing any repair. When it happens again I doubt they are going to do anything. Citing the warranty is over even through it was exisiting problem that they failed to fix. -

The computer and electronics super geek thread
Roy Focker replied to azrael's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
The nightmare continues or will my computer disappear part 6! I'm honesty scared that next they'll lose my computer. My first fear was they'll try to make an excuse not to repair it but now I think they're so incompetent that Toshiba will end up losing it. Recap of what happened since my last post. 1. Toshiba gave me permission to send my under warranty laptop in to the repair center. Charging $25 shipping and sending me a box that was too small to ship it in. 2. I call Toshiba about the small box. They tell me I have to call UPS. 3. UPS says don't look at us call Toshiba they told us what box to use. 4. I call Toshiba and passed on to a case worker. Sure we'll get you a bigger box. I'll contact the service center and they'll get you one. You should get it in about 3 days. 5. After 5 working days later and no bigger box I call Toshiba to find out did they ship a box or not? I made this call in the morning. New guy said he'll have to talk to the case worker who knows what's going on and he will get back to me. 6. That day UPS arrives with a box. 3 days later than Toshiba estimate of when I would get that box. 7. BTW that new larger box is only deeper in size. The other dimensions are the same! They know what size computer I have. Why send me boxes that are too small? Well this box does come with a lot more internal padding might as well send it anyways. 8. I drop the laptop off at UPS and grab a receipt. 9. There's a message on my phone from Toshiba. "You called about not getting your box. According to our records a box was delivered on this day. If you didn't get a box please call us..." I don't call them back. If they checked the time records they would see that I called them before the box was delivered. Since they're in call center located a foreign country located thousands a miles away they have no clue what time zone is which. 10. Yesterday there's a knock my door. It is UPS with an empty box from Toshiba. I guess Toshiba decided to send out another box just in case. I refused the box from UPS. I got no laptop here to put it in anyways. Oh yeah... they sent the smaller box. The one I first got. How it is that possible? They know how big my computer is yet that keep thinking it is smaller. The size of my laptop is simple fact of information. A fact that they are incapable of understanding. If they can't figure that out what hope do I have that they can fix my computer? Things I now fear from Toshiba... They'll try to say it is not a hardware issue and will charge me a diagnostic fee, repair fee and shipping back fee. They'll try to charge me shipping charges for 3 boxes. They'll lose my laptop. They'll say my warranty expired (which it will during the time they'll have it) and refuse to fix it. They'll lose it. They'll ship it back to me in an even smaller box and it will arrive to me in pieces. -
I don't under what is so great about Dragon Ball. Sure it has somethings going for it but they drag what should be a two episode story about a fight into a 35 episodes.
