    Just what I always wanted: to see a dumpster fire go off a cliff aboard a train, and crash at the bottom as a trainwreck. My bucket list is now complete, knowing that not only has Star Trek completely self-destructed, but that pretty much all of my go-to sci fi and other fiction has pretty much done the same.

    Honestly, the title of this movie should have been "Terminator: Wet Fart". It pretty much negated the entire storyline of T2.

    Okay folks, say this three times fast: "steaming s**tstorm"

    Pretty much. All we need now is for some stupidity like Palpatine using Jar Jar as his new host vessel or some BS like that....

    So T:DF has finally reared it's head into the franchise. Well, I was expecting nothing from this move, and was still disappointed. So, ideas on my end then to fix the franchise? Well, one that probably has a ton of holes and most likely destroys the horror part: With time unraveling, Skynet takes one final act to change time once and for all: it sends itself and every single HK and Terminator unit into the past, to access the military's data systems, launch the missiles and start the future war in 1984. And this time, the Resistance can send no one back to stop it.

    Thanks...that's my computer room actually, and it's just a mini fluorescent lamp in the polyfil cloud.

    Well, I set aside my other project for the time being. Frankly, after an incident online where my artwork was stolen twice in a row, I think I won't be doing much on facebook for some time to come. Anyways, i revisited an old project and...added something to it...

    The Republic seemed to only want to maintain the status quo, which Palpatine surreptitiously used in order to foist the Empire upon the galaxy. He just used their desire to maintain a comfort level and way of life they were accustomed to, and promised to keep that under the auspices of consolidating the Republic into something else. It's not new, and Hitler did something similar, only he promised the people jobs, economic stability and prosperity (which they didn't have under the Weimar Republic in the aftermath of WWI). On that note: the Jedi seemed so afraid of creating potential "dark Jedi" that they did their level best to make sure no one had any emotions to stir in order to for the Dark Side to take advantage of. What they didn't get is that there's a major difference between "ignore" and "control".: ignoring feelings and trying not to have them is not the same as recognizing them and controlling them. This ties into a theory I maintain: the Dark Side isn't out there, but rather, it's inside every force user. If life creates the Force and makes it grow, then life itself has the dark and light sides. Therefore, to defeat the dark side, one has to defeat the dark side within themselves and know who and what they are. You can't do that when you've been raised to be an emotionless, compassionless drone with a laser sword. As it stands, they were utterly clueless when a Sith Lord was elected to rule the Senate, and all their precious Force abilities did was to tell them "your Magic Eight-Ball is cloudy, please try again". As for the slavery in the galaxy: there's always been "disposable people" in any society that are conveniently ignored, taken advantage of and utterly left to die. The Republic is no different, and no better. With the Jedi upholding the Republic, I suspect it would cause them to be excommunicated from the community if they suddenly started freeing those that the Republic depended upon to do the work that their more well-ensconced citizens would not deign to touch with a ten-foot pole. Once again, maintaining the status quo, only this time, under the guise of "better that a relative few should suffer than the whole".

    Starting to wonder if Snoke was a half-assed failed clone of Sidious or something. Talk about "Snoke gets in your eyes"...

    I would try 90% isopropyl alcohol and see if that does it. If that doesn't work, perhaps consider using nail polish remover VERY CAREFULLY with a q-tip.

    "Star Wars: The Rise of Bile in My Throat"

    I do not consider malevolent forces to be "mumbo jumbo", considering the state of the real world as it stands. Humans suck, but there are things underlying it all that human veracity alone cannot explain. Anyways, departing this conversation now; I have a new policy in place that when folks don't like what I say, I don't bother staying for "act II" of the play.

    In all of the various iterations of the Joker, I'm starting to wonder if all the various origin stories are true... My theory: The "Joker" is not simply one person, but in reality is a malevolent entity that possess and corrupts those whom life has cast down, despised, spit upon and ground to a pulp. And when that poor husk is used up, it simply moves to a new individual (or individuals) and merely starts again. This would go a great length to explain why batman doesn't "kill" the Joker: He knows that it would simply transfer to another person, and he won't risk that. That explanation would have to include that Bruce somehow discovered this, and discovered that this entity could not be contained by physical, electromagnetic or magical/divine means. So all that would be left would be to continually oppose it and keep tabs on it, while training those he has taken under his "wing" if you will for the next generation of guardians to keep track of the next husk this entity would corrupt once its' current host(s) are finished. Meantime, Bruce secretly continues a desperate race to discover a way to permanently destroy this thing. Yeah, I know: plenty of gaping holes and probably takes from stories done to death already. But its at least an idea...

    Not to mention the "1984" G1 Prime toy that kid is playing with has TWO laser rifles.
  15. pengbuzz
    Yeah; it would seem to be a combination of a medium grey and a turquoise, almost a dulled down "engineering green" if you will from the ST:TMP Enterprise Refit, but going a little more the bluish end of things. As mentioned previously, it's going to be up to individual modeler taste here.

    At the rate they're going, about $250. O.o

    They could get their revenge during a Super Bowl Party by eating every snack in sight....

    I had to put the destroid idea on hold for no, due to both a lack of parts and to be honest, just plain burned out on Macross for the moment. Meantime, decided to do a project with nothing but cardboard, masking tape and a screenshot (or 500!): I didn't want yet another table-spanning project. So...this one is about the size of a can of Coke:

    Hence they should have room for a convincing transform.

    For this price, you may as well get a 1/48 build it yourself kit from Yamato/Arcadia/whatever they're called now. I know they're not exactly plentiful, but at this price, I'd at leas expect it to transform or something.

    Do you think this could be a sideways-way of HasTakTomy re-doing the original G1 series?
  22. pengbuzz
    Yeah; mine is pretty much what I think the ship looked like. I know that artwork was produced for DYRL (I think), but I thought th ship looked a bit too "lumpy".

    Dolly the sheep bot?

    Sorry, but that's not the assumption I'm working under. What I'm working under is that HG lied about their income, and that demonstrates that they don't "do a good job" on anything they do. If they did, they wouldn't have to resort to dishonesty about how much they made. At any rate, I am going to excuse myself from this conversation for the duration. Thanks for the dialogue.

    Well, Global really did have "a bigger boat"
