  1. Haha, that's true, why didn't he just punch his heart out? Anyway, back on topic, Hamill is not saying no....I would be open to having most of the original cast come back, but they'd need something more clever than just CG magic to bring their youth back.
  2. Found this picture here: http://www.scifi-meshes.com/forums/showthread.php?70313-MACROSS-Max-VF-1J/page20
  3. I dunno, I thought it looked okay. It was the image of Arnie at the most iconic point in his career (long, 80's style hair and everything). Compound that with the fact that he doesn't say a single word, just gets down to business and tries to terminate Connor....for me, seeing Arnie's image exactly the way he looked in the first film was the best part of the film. I'm sure it can be done a lot better now, but how did they do it in TRON? Did they have a mold of Jeff Bridges head from the 80's?
  4. McClane was more likeable before he started shaving his head.
  5. What the....link deleted and banned after two posts? Nevermind, I posted almost at the same time as Exo's explaination.
  6. I haven't read the comics, but apparently something happens to Glenn that I won't be happy with, and Daryl's not even in it.
  7. Haha, good enough for me, I'll check it out again. I sort of lost interest after Lori bit it. Not because I liked her character, but it was sort of the climax for me and I figured that everything after might seem sort of bland. But I love Daryl and Glenn's characters so I'll try to get back into it and see where those characters go.
  8. I bought a 4 litre glass jug of Asahi from a vendi in Japan once, it was outrageous., but then again, you can get used panties from a vending machine there too.
  9. Yes, crappy compared to studio films, yes, crappy compared to what fans could do today, but those were done some time ago, and just look at how tech has caught up? All I was saying is technology will be at a point one day when some fan will have the ability to create a film that rivals the studio productions, and I'm willing to bet someday, someone will make a film that pays a lot of homage to the original character designs. But for now, we've got Bay doing his thing, and that's fine, he makes a $hit ton of money for the studios, so why not?
  10. So, you're saying that a comic book about Captain Holocaust hunting Jews is perfectly alright because it's not the real world? You're right, this is not the place to vent about it, because I think it should have been locked in the first place. Lock a thread over someone who lists why they hate M7, but allow a comic book that praises the Chi-Comm government that slaughtered milliions, that's just gravy man. Next time I see a a person who had family who was a victim of 9/11, should I roll my eyes and say "I understand you have rage, get over it"? The very nature of this comic book is political, so why isn't this thread locked? Where is the line drawn? What if Neo-nazis, the Taliban and the KKK had comic books? Can we post them here and talk about the comic, and not the content? Ho-ho-ho, it's just a comic, it's not real. Well, it was pretty damn real for at least 45 million Chinese that died as a result of this government. Forty-five million, do you understand this number? Let me put this in fantasy world language for you, that number is a lot higher than all the orcs and men that died in Lord of the Rings. As an American, as yourself how you would feel if there was a Manga or comic about Tojo merrily bombing not only Pearl Harbour, but other American cities as an alternate reality You wouldn't have to ask yourself that because not even the Japanese would come up with something like that, it's absurd, just like this comic book.
  11. Well, when you have a comic book that glorifies a government that’s responsible for the death of tens of millions, you start to wonder if maybe someone wrote a comic book about the Nazis or the Taliban maybe it would get the same support? (Mao:45,000,000 Hitler:12,000,000) And have we completely glanced over the fact that this comic book is about POLITICS??? So, we're not allowed to talk about politics here, but we're allowed to talk about a comic that's about politics, that makes sense. Personally, i'd like to be able to talk about gun control laws and how stupid they are over in the weapons banter thread, but since it's political, we can't talk about it. Why aren't we allowed to talk about politics? Why can't we talk about religion? Because we don't want to start topics that offend people right? Well, as a person of Chinese ethnicity, I find it offensive that this comic book even exists, let alone the fact that it's being actively promoted here. I find it as vile as a Jewish person would towards a comic book about Captain Holocaust. If we're allowed to talk about this comic book, then I think we should level the playing field and open the floodgates to allow other politcial and religious discussions, including why people hate Harmony Gold, Robotech and Macross 7. The same arguement could be made of any such topics "If you don't plan on supporting the neo nazis, please don't come into this thread, it may contain material that could be offensive to you"
  12. Man, the CAD snapshots do look a lot better than the original prototypes, but it still looks a bit off to me. I've not nothing against any new kit that comes out of the VF-1, the more the merrier because that should result in competition (and hopefully not flood the market) but this one's got some ways to go. I used to build models, tons of them, but every since the Yammies came out witht heir 1/48 line and now 1/60 v2 line, I've been too lazy to built kits anymore. Sure, most kits look great in a single mode (Hasegawas are practically flawless in their respective modes), but transforming kits....well, Yammi's already got their 1/60 verision of a transforming "kit" based off their toys. It's going to be pretty hard to top their 1/60 in terms of appearance, durability and function. If Bandai is successful with this new model line, who knows what other Valks, Destroids and baddies they might consider making, 1/72 is a nice manageable scale to have all sorts of other mechs.
  13. Man, you sure build them quick. Awesome, can't wait to see more pictures
  14. Hmmm...maybe you're right and I remembered wrong, could have been internal thought processes, I'll have to read the books again. There's a thread here about the talking animals in LOTR and Hobbit though: http://the-hobbit-movie.com/forum/topic/beorn-in-the-movies/page/3 And the consensus seems to imply that some of these animals talked in the books....
  15. I stopped watching after episode 3 or 4 in season three. Is it getting better? Should I pick it up again?
  16. Haha, you can't talk about politics here, but for some reason, you can talk about a comic that is TOTALLY POLITICAL, yet if you critisize the comic for what it is - printed POLITCAL matter, you get your post deleted, censored, if you will, just like the very government this comic book is about. Why this thread wasn't locked from the beginning is beyond me.
  17. Is BBY-001 for Yamato 2199 or is it cannon for the entire Uchuu Senkan Yamato universe? I googled and found both, but not sure how it works.
  18. Any updated pics on a productiion version yet? Also, are they already sold out?
  19. If you haven't watched Generation Kill, go watch it. It's got some pretty realistic radio chatter.
  20. That's true. M-21991 will eventually have to be refit replaced, just like the Enterprise. With that line of thinking, I think it could work very well. This could be two or three generations of ships later...maybe call it the M-21991-B, haha!
