Ghost Train

I liked Arnold before he decided to become Enron's stooge.

Lol, no offense but a lot of the underrated films you guys are posting have been generally well received.

Far lowest right one is captioned: Finding out teh Vajra Space AIDS is winning.

Overrated: Avatar. That is all.

Any type of gasoline, fuel or whatever starts off as a random mush of 3 to 8 carbon-length hydrocarbons you pull from the ground, some are in a linear alkane form and other are cyclical hydrocarbons. Some example of crude pulled from the ground can range from: CH3-CH2-CH2-CH3 CH3-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH3 etc. (Can't draw the cyclical one on a board post ) There are also some really neat branching alkanes. Anyways, fuel needs to be refined to get a more cohesive product particularly because of the diversity of stuff you can pull from the ground. The reason alcohol works just as well, is because they share a somewhat similar structure as plain alkanes, with the only difference being the presence of the a hydroxyl group: CH3-CH2-CH2-CH2-CH2-OH (Penthanol) CH3-OH (Methanol) and the most important chemical compound of all: CH3-CH2-OH, Ethanol / Booze / Magic Water etc. The main source of "energy" are those C-H and C-C bonds which pack tons of energy. KNOWING IS 1/2 the BATTLE... GIJOOOOE!

I read somewhere that he was offered a role but passed on it - as he is a serious actor who is into making real movies now.

Lol, this is either going to be the worst or best movie ever. The only villain capable of matching that lineup would have to be played by Christopher Walken.

It's just a doujinshi

My issue with Renton is not so much that his EQ is close to zero, I mean any preteen put into a similar situation would act like he did, but it's just that as an animu-hero character he is expected to eventually become more emotionally stable, mature, and badass - which never really happens. Which is fine I guess... fracking Holland has enough Gar for the whole show.

I really don't get the popularity of this show. It's basically Renton being emo and failing at life for 30/50+ episodes >_> .

Meh, the original is infinitely better .

It was a good episode indeed, except for Sun running into a tree lmao, wish they thought of something more creative.

... If I recall correctly, didn't he got pwnd by The Tree of Life and, not by the Mayans

I love the female voice narrating (sounds like Clarice) the preview at the end. So evil, so vengeful, all the 12 colonies will know that things will turn nasty soon - against the backdrop of Cylon mass production.

Whenever I read this thread, I become incredibly ashamed of my 75% Chinese heritage.... Peter Chao should make a video about this lolz.

I tried watching Bakemonogatari a while ago, but took a break from it. I got to the third episode I think. Unfortunately, I get the feel that it's one of those shows with the propensity of loosing stuff in translation, as I've been told the wordplay which constitutes 99% of the series is hard to capture. I really like Senjougahara though ... prototypical psycho-girl friend of pure win.

I fought Barthalabus last night, didn't struggle at all - but got freaking 1 star. I took the long way and took out the alletes & pauldrons first, perhaps that was my mistake.

World did not end. LHC success No headcrabs, no zombies, it's actually quite a nice day out.

I'm too tired to argue, and I don't think we're disagreeing... but it's spelled argument. Thanks.

I think 1 valkyrie + 1 Macross Idol will be sufficient for regime change in any country, planet, or star cluster. First, the valk shows an awesome display of destruction that glorifies war, then the generic moe Macross Idol uses [Power of Song©] maneuver that shows why violence and war is bad. At that point, everyone will just be so confused and stop fighting.

I actually had similar heretical thoughts about valkyrie design and why battroid mode from a practicality standpoint is not needed. Basically fighter-mode is purely an atmospheric fighter, but gerwalk or 1/2gerwalk would be used as a space fighter. The biggest obstacle to any space vehicle is the need to vector thrust in every considerably direction, and thus "the legs" could solve that problem. Also, the idea that battroid is useful against "giant alien infantry" is not a very good argument in my opinion. First, given similar targeting computer capabilities - you can never make the case that a gun from an unstable platform (battroid) will be more accurate than a gun from a more fixed position (1/2 gerwalk). Additionally, the idea that the counter to a giant anthropomorphic enemy is to build your own anthropomorphic mecha is wrong. The only remaining argument is that battroid can do kung-fu... but seriously, since the pilot needs to execute the judo-chops and the roundhouse kicks via the Valk's controls, it will never have the sufficiently effective response time as the biological instincts of a Vajra or giant Zentradi infantry performing similar CQB manuevers. Battroids exist because giant robots look nice on screen, and our own genetic bias towards things with 2 arms & 2 legs .

I watched Returner many years ago, it has all the elements of crappy campy bad sci-fi, starting with time travel and transforming mecha.

Don't forget Miku's take on Herodotus' account of the Greek / Persian war:

I wonder if there is any more news on the Damashii GM Snipers . There are so many figures in the pipeline for RD that I hope Bandai didn't forget about the most badass GM ever made.

I liked Wing Commander, didn't do justice to the games though, but I felt that at least they tried to make a scifi space fighter flick. The retro designs for the fighters were really neat .
