  1. I wonder with that new intro that has the number of survivors listed, if they'll keep updating the number as people die or are born? The sci-fi preview thingy will be on again Friday at 7:00 pm. From things I read about this season it's gonna ROCK!!!!!!! espesially around episode 10.....for those that know what I'm talking about Chris
  2. !!!!! Chris
  3. I have one....it's made by a man named Frank Cearney(not sure if I spelled it correctly) and few other guys can't remember there names at the moment the call themselves FM models I believe. The picture you posted isn't of the actual model...that was the CGI rendering of the Mk II. Here is a picture of my nearly finished Viper. Chris
  4. Sorry couldn't resist This IS a New BSG thread
  5. Jesse here are some finished pictures of my Viper for ya'
  6. Did anyone else see Summer (River) in last weeks 4400. She played a troubled youth in a mental institution!!! Poor girl really knows how to play that part but I hope she's not getting type-cast! Chris
  7. I think he should have to develop his detective skills first.....I liked the fact that he wasn't the ultimate hero right off the (ahem) bat. Having him mess up, stumble, search his way around how to do things makes it SO much better when he finally does become the Detective we all know I just figured that was what he was studying at college before he went abroad. Plus his initial martial arts training he was doing probably from a very early age. That's what I loved about Batman....he earns his skills, he doesn't magically get them. Take the spiderman movie: Peter gets bitten by a superspider that gives him his spidey skills....that's fine, but it doesn't explain why he suddenly knows how to fight. Chris
  8. I might go see the film tonight as well. All this talk of the film is driving me crazy! I must see it You gotta be crazy waiting this long.... lol... the only reason I want you guys to see it is so that we can start spilling the beans and actually talk about the movie. Should we start a spoiler thread for Batman? I'm actually holding back from seeing it again... I just saw it yesterday and it seems like it's been a long time already... I'm seeing it again for sure next week. HA HA!! I feel the same way! Chris
  9. Agreed. and for whomever made the comment about the humor...you are right on, I totally agree. No forced humor, just realist spur of the moment stuff....not by Batman by the way either....thankfully. Chris
  10. They even say it's one of the years best movies...not best action movie or summer movie...just MOVIE!!! Chris
  11. Also gotta say I really like the score. It is sort of a minimalist approach ala the New Galactica just not that minimal. It has definate themes it just doesn't really go all grandeous like alot of Hero/action movies will....It builds and builds and then goes "dark". I'm listing too it right now and it is very intense at times with the unrelenting drum beat at times. It can really get you pumped up at times. Much more appropriate for this movie then a grand theme like Elfmans. Chris
  12. Hell YA!!!!! I heard that Nolan is signed on for a few sequals...so that's a good start. As for scary. ... ... ... Spoilers (minor quote from movie) . . . . . . . . . . When he had Flask upside down on the roof. FLASK: " I swear to GOD!" . Batman"You better SWEAR TO ME"yelled out was freaking intense!!!!
  13. Oh my GOD!!!!! I LOVE THIS MOVIE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It is hands down my favorite MOVIE of all time. Usually I wouldn't be able to say any one movie is better than another because of different genres, but this movie works we'll on so many different levels. Batman is FINALLY given justice. I really thought they explained everthing very well too. Even as to why he wears a costume....not what costume but why, this really ment alot for me because of the REALIST approach that was taken in this movie, and I gotta admit that I kinda thought Batman was a bit scary at times, which is PERFECT. Not giving anything away, but his first "scene" is freaking cool. My wife was like "hell no" if she was a thug. Chris
  14. Ack! Never mention that name here, you'll damn us all! Holly Crap! I forgot all about her!!!! No must forget again! Chris
  15. I also agree about the Bespin fight, while not the best fight in my opinion, there are dynamics to that duel that are just awesome. Vader starts of really easy on Luke and as the fight goes on he slowly ups his tempo as he realizes that Luke has "some" skills. I really love the end of that duel when Luke finally lands a hit on Vader on his shoulder, to me that was when Vader said F*** this and quickly cuts Lukes hand off. You can really see then that Vader was holding back on him. Chris
  16. Not sure how to post an actual link, but this is the site: www.gotfuturama.com Cinescape was also reporting this and said that it has come from a reliable source. Sounds good to me! Chris
  17. That's what I'm hoping for, that this will be the first step to it's complete revival. Chris
  18. Got this quote from a futurama site: "Well, I spoke to David X.Cohen because we did promos for a new Futurama compilation and he said that they did have talks with the top guys at FOX and they were extremely impressed with the sales of the Futurama DVDs. The idea was to make a Futurama movie right to DVD and then a 2nd and a 3rd. That's what's being discussed. Fox is trying to figure out a budget for the whole project, and it sounded like David X. was very jazzed! I would love more than anything to do that show again. I thought it was best experience on every level... creatively, voice-wise, writing, animation and the laughs. The laughs. Writers and performers that respected each other. " God I hope this happens!!!! First Family Guy, now maybe Futurama, all we need next is Firefly....which if the movie does well may just happen! Fox may yet make up for "some" of thier sins!!! What pisses mr off though is Fox had/has the nerve to say that both Family Guy and Futurama failed to pull in the numbers they wanted but then did amazingly well on CN, TBS, and DVD sales. Maybe if those Knucleheads at Fox would give those shows steady/decent time slots they would've done better, instead of either constantly moving one around so you never new when it was on or putting one on in a time slot that was ALWAYS being pre-emted for Football! Chris
  19. Uh, I may be wrong, but I think it takes place between III and IV. H I maybe wrong too... i could be confusing other projects like the clone wars cartoon to the TV series... In any case I tried to avoid anything to SW prior to seeing this movie. I read the Kevin Smith and Mark Hammil article by chance and I couldn't stop reading...but I skimmed over it... no self-control It takes place between III and IV. This has been confirmed. Didn't they say there are 2 shows. One live action taking place between eps. III and IV. The other a all CGI clone wars one. Chris
  20. I have no idea about those, however, I'm pretty sure most things that come from Supershadow are Fake. Chris
  21. I'm not really sure that this is fair to the Jedi. As even Obi-Wan said in TPM: "The council sees that the boy is dangerous, why can't you see it?" I think the Jedi council really didn't know what to do with him. They sensed that he was dangerous, and that he couldn't be trusted. And the only way they could try to stop him from becoming dangerous was to trust him. . . which they could not do because he was dangerous. Catch-22. Well, Palpatine was never really being a true father figure, but just manipulating Anakin. He fooled Anakin into thinking of him as a father figure. But, in my interpretation, Palpatine sensed the same thing in Anakin that the council did, but saw it as an opportunity rather than something to be feared. From the Jedi Council's point of view, they were really sorta saddled with Anakin by Qui-Gon (and, later, Obi-Wan). To me, their mistake was giving into Qui-Gon/Obi-Wan and agreeing to train Anakin. They tried to make everyone happy by going with half-measures. They allowed him to be trained, but didn't embrace him fully because of the danger the sensed. They should have either sent him back to Tatooine (with enough money to buy his mother's freedom), or embraced him fully (which I'm not sure was possible given what they sensed in him). But that's not often the way things work in an imperfect world. Really, as it was in the OT, you could blame Obi-Wan. He essentially forced the Council's hand and blackmailed them into training Anakin. He said that if they didn't train him, Obi-Wan would do it himself, without the aid of the Jedi. In that situation, they probably felt it was better to at least keep him within the Jedi Order so that they (at best) could avoid what they feared was the boy's destiney, or (at worst) keep an eye on him. H I agree with you to a point Hurin. I had a suspition ever since I saw Ep I, and since we know what would eventually happen to the Jedi, that the council's sense of danger about Anakin had more to do with the actual prophecy. Watch their reaction when Qui-Gon says he believes that Anakin is the chosen one....I don't think that they completly thought the prophecy was a good thing. Sorta like they were trying to keep it away, like the old saying "Ignorance is bliss".....He's not here so the prophacy can't come true. Then Yoda even says in episode 3, something to the effect of "we may have miss read the prophacy", to me, sort of verbalizing their previous sense of danger. Chris
