  1. The B-17 vignette from the original will always be stuck in my head.
  2. Look on the bright side guys. With a second run these will be over 9000.
  3. Question. Do model kits of girls like Frame Arms or Megami Device go in this thread or should I start a new one if an appropriate one doesn't already exist?
  4. I'm going to withhold judgement until I see a trailer at least. I remember when people took a dump on Gal Gadot for her casting and that turned out great. Meanwhile Margot Robbie is amazing as Harley, but both her movies are turds.
  5. The thing about that Iron Mask movie with Arnold Schwarzenegger and Jackie Chan? It's actually a sequel to a Russian film called Viy which is roughly their version of Pirates of the Caribbean about a cartographer traveling to unknown regions of the world fantasy Marco Polo style to make maps. The thing is neither Jackie or Arnold are the main characters in this series which makes me wonder how long they'll actually be in it. I wouldn't be surprised if this film pulled the same thing Executive Decision did. People went in expecting a Steven Seagal and got a Kurt Russell and John Leguizamo film instead. Not that that was a bad thing as ED wasn't that bad and seeing Leguizamo nailing a serious role is an eye opener, but it wasn't what people were expecting.
  6. Stopped watching Hundred at around episode 8 or 9. It's not bad, but its not great either. I did start watching Frame Arms Girl, and I'm shocked at how good it is. For a tie in show of model kit line it's better than it has any right to be. It kind of knows its an advertisment for kits and pokes fun at that fact. For example a character will randomly start schilling for Kotobukiya(the company that makes the frame arms kits) and their cutting nippers, while the person they're talking to gets more and more annoyed, or bored looks for ways to make the person shut up or off themselves. The main character Ao is also refreshing. Unlike other shows like this where the main character wants to be the best, collect them all, or win tournaments, she really doesn't want any of that. She's just random girl Kotobukiya picked to play test their line of frame arms girls. She's only motivated to do anything with the girls once she finds out the company will pay her to have them battle. From there they kind of grow on her to the point she treats them like dysfunctional but well intended children. I'd definately give this show a recommedation. Especially if you build model kits/gunpla as some of the humor is directly at that.
  7. If I'm not mistaken that's the 1989 movie tie in toy without the decals.
  8. A bit. Otherwise they're rather sticker intensive. This video will give you a good idea of what you're getting as he shows all the runners prebuild. His end result is just him panel lining, adding the stickers, and water side decals to it/them/her. EDIT:the only thing he painted was the swimsuit apparently.
  9. Well unless you're like me and don't really want to break up sets etc. I wouldn't mind taking them off your hands. My home is always open for a few stay kittens.
  10. This is what I know him best from. I can still hear the air raid siren from the opening in my head. Rest in peace.
  11. I know nothing has been said, but I'm almost certain this movie is going to have a Deadpool cameo and show how he gets integrated into the MCU.
  12. And some people just don't want to deal with a real grade period.
  13. I was thinking about buying one of these VFG's and decided to look through the previous pages to see what people think, and I think I'll still get one. I noticed a common complaint I see people asking "Why swimsuits?" I think it might have something to do with invoking the Race Queen look or corporate sponsor "Budweiser girl" type look.
  14. Rest in peace. I know many people will say Spartacus was his most notable film, but I'll always believe Paths of Glory was his best performance.
  15. Yeah... Give me Miyatake's original design over the crappy BMX bike pads any day.
  16. Watching Hundred. Why? Busty girls in tight leotards and partial scifi armor. No other reason. Honestly it reminds me of Infinite Stratos maybe a little too much.
  17. RX-78-4 unit 4. A reminder I can never beat that Thoroughbred mission in Encounters In Space with an S rank so he can stay alive and get the alternate happy ending. And this is from a guy who S ranked every mission in Zeonic Front.
  18. Ever since Kathleen Kennedy took charge every single Star Wars project has been a disaster production wise with the exception of TFA and maybe The Mandalorian the latter of which she had little control over.
  19. He already said no to that, but to be honest a show about a former stormtrooper breaking his conditioning and finding his way in the galaxy would be a cool idea... As long as he doesn't act like an emotionally stunted ten year old that goes "WOW!" at everything and everyone. Actually I'm begining to wonder if that last part was intentional for his character. He was pretty much kidnapped as a child and programmed to be a soldier so he has all these military skills, but no maturity once the programing is broken. So all his dopy actions kind of make sense.
  20. Try Rian Johnson's ass. This dyad dynamic got introduced in The Last Jedi with Snoke who is apparently being forced controlled by the Emperor now gloating about creating a link in the force connecting the two which the Emperor in Rise Of Skywalker was oblivious to. It's also the film that introduced the space teleportation gimmick during the scene where Luke interrupted their force mind meld and Kylo ended up back on his ship soaking wet from the rain.
  21. I can attest to this. Years ago the American Hockey League, the hockey minor league right below the NHL used to run a mascot of the year contest fans could vote on. It's since been cancelled because somebody paid a group in India less than a hundred dollars to stuff the ballot box with over two million votes. :P
  22. I'm no conspiracy theorist, but it does raise an eyebrow when the audience Rotten Tomatoes score hasn't budged at all since release. It's currently sitting at 86% with over 80,000 reviews, the same 86% it was at with 8,000 reviews, 800 reviews, etc. Logic dictates that it should have fluctuated at some point, but it hasn't. As for all the one line indentical reviews? It's almost as if in all those accusations by studios that incel neckbeard basement dwellers were review bombing to affect scores they found out they could hire PR companies to game the system in their favor instead.
  23. I debated with my brother about paying extra for the cockpit tour back in September and ended up doing it. It was well worth the experience if you can afford it as they let you sit in the pilots seat and touch the controls. One of the best memories of the trip. As for the ME262 there, yes it's a replica. A good one at that. I think the only real one I've ever seen is the one at the USAF Museum in Dayton.
  24. No. It's pretty simple they were blockading Naboo to make an example and force an end to the tax dispute in their favor. That's all you really need to know to set the table for the film.
