    It's Mylene's Valkyrie from Macross 7.😂

    The date this series takes place is November 6th 0079 and the setting is the European front. That puts this series timeframe at roughly the same time and place as the Federation's Operation Odessa, the big counter offensive to retake Zeon's main resource gathering sites. It's 11 months after the START of the One Year War, not the end.

    Went back for a second viewing this time in IMAX, and I have to say this film still holds up even on repeat viewings. This film really is that good! About the only complaint I have is... That should tell you how great this movie is if that's all I can find fault with it. One other think of note that the history geek in me noticed is this film does something I've rarely seen in Japanese cinema and that's...

    Wow! Just Wow! This was definitely worth the praise it's been getting. I highly recommend it! There's a lot I need to digest before I feel I can properly give my full detailed thoughts. This is definitely up there among the best films in the franchise, I'd even argue beating out the original 1954 film in some regards. It definitely stands above Shin Godzilla and I hold that one in high regard. This is a must watch in theaters!

    Getting ready to see this now. I'll let you guys know my thoughts afterwards.

    Not leading with a Dark Angels or Blood Angels terminator is a bit of a mistake given how Space Hulk made that armor almost synonymous with those chapters.

    Here's the thing, Napoleon's "exaggerated accounts" are still far more accurate to what happened than 95% of what Ridley Scott filmed and chose to show us. Look, I get taking artistic license in an effort to better tell a story, but when the story you are trying to tell is utter dog crap, and the real history behind is so much more compelling and far more interesting, you deserve to be called out for your B.S. Especially when accredited historians at universities and the historical advisors that have spent their lives studying this period of history are told to "Shut up! You weren't there, how would you know?" by Ridley Scott himself. Like historical records, personal accounts, letters, and soldiers diaries don't still exist from that period. No, this garbage deserves the hate it's getting from historical circles. One can only hope Steven Spielberg's work to complete Stanley Kubrick's unfinished Napoleon epic as a miniseries will do the era some justice.

    UPS guy dropped off my package from Lego from their Insider sale, and well... Not a single thing is intact outside of the mini bag of picka brick parts. What hurts the most is the Majistos workshop gift with purchase is mangled and I just can't get another one, as it officially sold out today.

    To be far the actor they chose for the British Ambassador did resemble good old Benny.😆

    Swede Vejtasa: I wanna be a fighter pilot! US Navy: No. You are a bomber pilot. *Swede proceeds to shoot down three enemy aircraft in a day in an SBD Dauntless at Coral Sea. US Navy: Um... So you wanted to be a fighter pilot you say? How does a transfer sound? *Swede proceeds to down seven more enemy aircraft in a day at Santa Cruz.

    Shoving an awful amount of history into two plus hours is a massive understatement. The following literally happens over the course of 10 minutes...

    I'm sorry, I couldn't resist this. 😂

    So I watched Ridley Scott's Napoleon, and well.... You ever watch a movie that is so bad, it starts to become so unintentionally funny you start to wonder if it was done on purpose? Yeah that's this film. The pacing and focus is all over the place to the point if you don't have a keen interest in the Napoleonic era you will have absolutely no idea what the hell is going on. Joaquin Phoenix is miscast badly being way too old and terrible in this. He spends most of the film with a look on his face that resembles the slight discomfort of having a broomstick broken off up his ass and no way to get it out... When he's not making the "O" face spending a surprising amount of time balls deep in Josephine doggy style trying to produce an heir. As for historical accuracy there really isn't much. Outside of the most broadest summary of people and places this movie showcases, liberties have been taken with damn near everything. Not in "we need to rework things for pacing issues or time constraints," but more in a "We have no idea what the hell we are doing!" sort of way.

    HK 21 with a G17 or M1911 slide?

    Zombie troopers sucked when they were originally introduced in the EU, they sucked when Disney brought them back for books and comics, and they again suck now in live action. I hate how they are just a lame pop culture trend staple gunned onto the Star Wars universe because "OMG! Zombies!" Were all the rage a while back. I also don't like how they and the Night Sisters are being used to undercut Thrawn's character just because Filoni has a hard on for them. What made Thrawn such an imposing threat in the original novels was in a in a universe of force users and supernatural powers he used his intellect and tactics to out think and out maneuver his opponents. Now? He's just fourth banana to three Macbeth witch rejects with a goofy zombie army at his command and a dork in a leper death mask as a sidekick.

    Is it bad I want to buy the Himeji Castle just so I can build it and put Godzilla and Kong figures on opposite sides of it?

    I kind of went a little crazy recently and bought a few kits. Namely the entire Lego City Explorers/Arctic 2023 line. It started with just buying the submarine to go along with, then the small motor boat, then the arctic shelter with snowcat, then the big floating boat, and finally the skimobile. To make matters worse I also picked up the undersea exploration sub base as well as a couple submarines from the older 2020 line. Plus a couple of minisubs variants from the 3 in 1 sets. So now I have this desk with a big damn boat on it, underneath that is a shelf with the sub base and subs and a bunch of divers on the very bottom shelf with some rocks and coral with a angler fish.

    I'll be blunt here. Seto has a strong dislike of Harmony Gold, the Robotech brand, and anything connected to it, to the point he will go out of his way to denigrate it and downplay it's impact. Wether he likes it or not, or is even willing or capable of admitting it Robotech back in the day was a modest hit, and still maintains a surprisingly large cult following to this day which is quite an accomplishment given it's syndicated nature, and is better than a lot of similar properties from the 80s and 90s. Outside of the Hasbro and Mattel brands you don't really see the longevity or attempted revivals quite like what Robotech has had without there being some demand for it.

    Isn't John Goodman's character dead?

    Honestly sh** got weird in the later years. We had drug dealing pimps like the Head Man and his army of mad max looking leather dudes in scully caps with cobra commander like mirrored facemasks, eco terrorists spreading toxic sludge, literal werewolves with bug eyed monsters, power armor wearing cyborgs fighting on the moon, and that was all before the alien invasions(yes plural) or the time a literal robo-nazi had to fight a bunch of thawed out WWII commandos that were cryogenically frozen after a mission went wrong. Then things really got crazy with G.I. Joe X-TREME!!!!!!!!!

    1993. When everything went neon and the Mega Monsters were released to the line. 😝

    Yeah, there's some problems with that heavy spoilers video.
