I like giant robots, comics, anime/manga, sci-fi, horror, action figures, model kits, roleplaying games, etymology, angelology, animals (cats rule), and ice cream.
“Verify your age” For an apricot, I am old. For a head of lettuce, even more so. But for a mountain I am not even begun in years. However, for a man I am just right.
Eh... None of the models really match it. Unsurprising, but I was hoping maybe.
Post a logo, emblem, or title (with its original font) that remains as perfect today as when it was new.
And, if this graphic is to be believed, the Xi Gundam carries 24 Funnel Missiles? Or at least, that's how many it had in this scene.
We do get a few graphics explained. Rows of four, left to right, show markers for target detected, semi-lock, locked on, and manual targeting.
Hm. Didn't spot anything that looked like that weird wiggly line. Most of the graphics aren't explained all that much in the book anyway.
Hathaway 2 was good, but also full of weird choices. For example: the movie takes a full minute off to have one character explain to another character the detailed workings of a Minovsky-Ionesco fusion reactor. Why?!? It’s old-news tech at this point (for the characters and the audience both).
Per the TFwiki on Sparks. Almost exactly what you said. And hey, you do make some excellent points in your thread.
Wetworks had a similarly compelling sales pitch, but got disappointing fast -- their enemies weren't vulnerable to bullets!
Cyber Force had SO MUCH POTENTIAL! Stryke Force too. I was rather enjoying them, but it all petered out for the most for me after the first year or two, at which point the flavor of Witchblade & The Darkness took over.
Repost with an image of your favorite James Bond (wrong answers only)
Solid little horror-mystery-thriller-mindbender. Terrific visuals, great score, strong child acting, truly unpredictable plot. Best to go in cold, but know: it's not a Friday the 13th knockoff. (Nor a The Thing knockoff, despite the poster.) And no, I have no idea why it's called "Marshmallow."
