    I own it, along with most of the rest of the series, and have seen every one at some point. SpaceGodzilla isn't too bad aside from being predictable, paint by the numbers, and having possibly the worst choice for a JSDF mecha in M.O.G.U.E.R.A. especially after the previous film showcased how powerful their MechaGodzilla was. Still its coherent if somewhat boring plot puts it above King Ghidorah in my book.

    When all is said and done the 1998 american Godzilla film isn't actually a bad monster movie, its just a horrible, horrible Godzilla film. I've actually looked at it in a different light since Final Wars establishes it as a seperate monster. To be perfectly honest in my opinion the Heisei era Godzilla vs King Ghidorah is a much worse film. The boring plot(which involves time travel) makes no god damned sense and has way too many logic traps. Then there's the lame homages to six million dollar man, terminator, and Speilberg. This film has the worst special effects of any Godzilla film made.

    To be perfectly honest here what I remember from MIB2 Lara Flynn Boyle as the bad girl puking up two dudes she just ate as a metaphoric middle finger to critics that claimed she was bulemic The itty bitty aliens in the locker The ballchinian Something happening with the statue The worms fighting A tiny alien saucer with lots of guns and blades Frank doing something

    I would like to nominate The Faculty. Remember kids doing crack is not only a great way to get high, but it will help you fight space aliens! The only thing redeeming about it is Famke Janssen plays the sterotypical "hot teacher". http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Faculty#section_1 Good god this film needs to be MST3K'd.

    Why the hostility bro? Maybe you need to brush up on reading comprehension too, and and visual comprehension too while you are at it(yellow fishbowl really?). Not once did I claim the posted photos had red piping. Just that the original prototype did. You claimed that the suits in the film didn't strike you as practical or cool, while cool is subjective I wanted to show you that NASA and MIT are developing something very similar. If a spacesuit that's formfitting and allows for a full range of motion isn't practical, I don't know what is. As for it not looking exactly like the movies version? Who knows what another 60+ years of development may bring. Keep in mind this suit is still a prototype and isn't ready yet(not likely untill 2016). Anyways what's really interesting is the pictures Oihan posted above. The top one the piping on Noomi's is orange but bottom close up shows it clearly as blue instead. Maybe its adjustable pressure, or like its been stated above its a temperture thing.

    Dava Newman's prototype biosuit. Would you prefer they kept the original "green tinted fishbowl"? A variant of the biosuit even has a clear version closer to the prometheus film. As for the piping its part of the pressure control system the prototype originally had red. Why is it orange for Noomi and charlize's characters? Rank maybe? They are the ones leading this mission after all. It is clear all the suits have the piping though. Edit: website for the biosuit prototype http://mvl.mit.edu/EVA/biosuit/index.html

    Is it bad that I can say I liked the show and characters, but can't recall a damn thing about the plot? Anyways I finished the first season of Crest of the Stars. They really make it hard to like the Abh. Yeah the United Mankind fabricated a means to start a war with the Abh(something I think the other members of the four nation treaty might not know), but so far I have seen nothing but examples arrogance, corruption, heavy handedness, and just plain aggression, on behalf of the Abh. What really gets me is during one of the historical commentaries at the begining of an episode use a sick man at he side of the road allegory to compare the Abh and the United Mankind. The Abh goes and gets help, but the UM gives a lecture on what the man should do then just leaves. We get to see the exact opposite in practice though. The Abh show up at Jinto's planet, tell everyone they are taking over, then state that ruling them is beneath having an Abh do so pick a leader among yourselves. Lafiel makes it clear the Abh could care less about the people they rule, and are only interested in the territory and trade routes they can aquire. The lack of freedom also bothers me. When a character states that his group wants a ship to explore and trade on their own she reacts like he offered to pay for sex from her, and flat out states it could never happen and is non negotiable. Then there's the fact that if you become an Abh citizen you generally don't get treated differently, but should you want a kid it will get genetically modified to a pure Abh wether you want that or not.

    Basically spacesuits as they are now are bulky due to the fact that they need to keep the air inside pressurized. What this does is make the spacesuit hard to move around in or manipulate things with the hands. What Dava Newman has done is create a suit that applies pressure to the skin directly instead of the air. The result is a skin-tight spandex looking suit that allows for a full range of mobility. Its obvious the designers took this idea and ran with it. Ridley Scott himself said he was going to take a very realistic look with space travel on this film and use concepts that are just on the horizon. It wouldn't surprise me if he saw the same NOVA episode I did or read about Dava Newman's bio-suit in a tech journal.

    http://www.greatnewenglandairshow.com Should be interesting to see. Looks like the red steel jet team has the only operationable MIG-23 in the states. I also want to correct myself, it was a MIG-17 not 19 that I saw last year. the Black Diamond team that flew it appears to have picked up another one, bring their total to two MIG-17s and six albatros L-39s.

    The Great New England Airshow is coming up and supposedly a MIG-23 will be there. Last year at the Portsmouth air show a MIG-19 was there. Is there a reason all these soviet era aircraft are popping up now?
  14. renegadeleader1
    The A.D. Police weren't incompetent, just poorly equipped. Something that Genome and their corruption had to do with.
  15. renegadeleader1
    Didn't Frontier air in 2008 not 2007? If its Macross it will most likely be Zero. My guesses would be GR Giant Robo, Reideen, sky girls, or Dancouga Nova.

    BGC2040 ran for 26 episodes, that's two 13 episode seasons. Its full run IIRC. EDIT: the original BGC got cut down early, and then the same with its sequel Crash.

    Getting ready to watch Crest of the Stars series for the first time.

    The changes in the markings are because IIRC the Navy axed the original VF-84 Jolly Rogers in some crappy force re-alignment plan. Another squadron VF-103 the "Sluggers" took up the name instead of it going out of service. From what I understand they will give the name up should VF-84 get reactivated.

    You try being knocked up only to have the father bolt on you. Kinda hard to be plucky and spunky then.

    She actually shot a scene of her working out in the nude for this movie. If you can't wait go watch Two Days In The Valley. Just try to ignore the creepy hitman guys that's doing "it" with her.

    Is it bad that I now want a Black Widow film featuring Scarlet's version and the Marvel Max Yelena version as the villian? Maybe with a guest apperence by Cobie's Maria Hill? Maybe picking up from her interrogation scene with the russians?... please? PLEASE?!?

    Hey! We agree on something!
  24. renegadeleader1
    Anbody got any advice for sprue cutters for getting the parts out? The old technique I used to use was take an exacto blade and press down hard till it cut through the plastic.
  25. renegadeleader1
    Mostly because the charge didn't last long and obviously did some damage to the suits circuitry. It also takes time to "call down the thunder" time which they really didn't have.
