    I'm speechless......

    If they called it Big Trouble in Little Japan, I wouldn't have been opposed...........except it doesn't look funny. I'm now 99% confident that the title of the film was a totally random coincidence in regards to the original 47 ronin story. There didn't seem to be any elements of the original story other than 47 "samurai". "Ronin" with Robert Deniro had more to do with the original story than this film. Original: When and where: 1703, Japan has been pretty much unified by the Tokugawa, not much going on as far as civil unrest is concerned (compared to Pre-tokugawa era) Who: Asano and his vassals (who become ronin) and Kira and his clan. Story: Lord Asaon assaults (reasons for the assualt are debatable depending on what part of Japan you're from) Lord Kira and is sentenced to seppuku. Asano's vassals become masterless (ronin) and plot to take revenge over a two year period of laying low. The ronin kill Kira and are sentenced to seppuku. Outcome: Family name restored, although only 1/10 of original territory is restored to the family. New: When and were: Who knows when, and probably Japan. Who: Half breed slave that was banished from land (assuming Japan?), 47 "samurai", some dude, some chick, a creature from Avatar, and a dragon. Story: The folks that owned this slave have taken over the land (assuming Japan?). Seems like there's civil unrest (mounts of corpes) or at the implied notion that these folks are overthrowing the existing government. The half-breed ex-slave with a green lightsaber + 47 "samurai" go against an "infinite" army backed up by a couple of mythical creatures and a dragon. Outcome: Yet to be determined. Correlation between the old and the new: the number 47

    Stallone's in a new boxing moving with DeNiro....looks promising. Arnie's last few movies haven't been too good, hope it's not a sign of things to come for King Conan.

    I think HK police will have to step it up a bit if it wants US film makers to continue working there. Otherwise, it will just be a matter of security being beefed up by Bay's staff.

    Haha, yeah, there are prisons here. I've heard that at some of the male institutions, corrections officers get into fights on a weekly basis with offenders, not so much at the female prisons. There are a few nut-job canucks housed in these places: Paul Bernardo and Karla Homolka Russell Williams Clifford Olson Mohammad Shafia and his son Hamed Luka Magnotta Robert Pickton Plus there was that nutjob that sawed a guys head off on the Greyhound bus and a double beheading at a McDonald's near my place.....come to think of it, Canada's kind of phucked up (but technically, those two murderers were imported from China).

    Gruesome.....haha, reminds me of when the new GT-R came out and some local idiot drove up a set of stairs and into an ATM.

    When my friend sold his NSX to me and ran off to get a Ferrari 348, we had a little go at it and my NSX (his old NSX) was able to keep ahead of his new 348 on the road and track. And I was a craptacular driver at the time, so it had nothing to do with driver skill. He knew how to drive cars and drive them well, but the NSX outperformed his Ferrari....at the time. I loved my NSX, still miss it, but that being said, I think I would have taken his 348 over my NSX in a heartbeat. In an ideal world, I would have both, one to have fun with and the other one just for the music. The 348 and 355 produced sounds that were just magic. Ferrari sort of lost it in the 360 but I think they've got the sound back with the latest models. And that is pretty hideous:

    Yeah, no kidding. Talk about setting the new standard for space movies.
  11. peter
    Well, if we're naming Macross characters, then I will say this unholy P.O.S.
  12. peter
    After seeing this film, I never want to go into space.

    Got some new footprints for my Jeep:

    Apologies for being an ignoramos on the matter, but now that I know where the narration came from, it has that much more meaning in relation to the trailer. Wow. Again, well done on that trailer.
  15. peter
    Excellent teaser. Great effect with the monotone narration...will def go watch this.
  16. peter
    No.

    I bought a 1/24 scale kit not that long ago (though, I haven't touched it yet). I wonder if he ever made strike packs for it, or will plan to? For 20,000 yen, I bet someone will pick it up.

    New wheels are nice, but I also like the look of the old ones
  19. peter
    Woah, sweet! Thanks!

    I just got this game, and no, I haven't read the last 13 pages, but holy hell, I have no idea how you guys manage to play through this. I have my wife sitting next to me translating and I think she's getting a little fed up with me.
  21. peter
    About friggin time, haha!

    The scene on the bed when he's all chewed up reminded me of Vader, except Vader didn't get a body that moved that good.
  23. peter
    Yes, it's the grave markers are definitely real, and I assure you that no dragons or surfer dudes were buried in that plot, haha!
  24. peter
    Right? I swear I saw a greeen lightsaber in the trailer. Also had a feeling of Lord of the Rings as well as Pirates of the Carribean. I wonder if Kira is going to be a decrepit old man, or some Mortal Kombat-type boss.

    Fast and Furious 2.0, but mixed with Lifestyles of the Rich and Famous. I seriously hope those are cheap fibreglass kit cars they're bashing up. I hate Hollywood just for that reason, that they feel the need to destroy cars for the sake of explosions and action. Does anyone go to the races hoping for a crash? Demolition Derby is the only exception I can think of.
