I love how he tries to keep the Jaeger designs separate from typical mech influences.

OH MY GOD.

OH. MY. [tornado fang]ing. GOD.

Pacific Rim was everything I wanted it to be and more. The visuals are insane, the soundtrack is [tornado fang]ing spectacular, and THE APOCALYPSE WAS CANCELLED. It is the closest we've ever gotten to a legit live action Anime, AND IT WAS GOOD. LIKE, REALLY REALLY [tornado fang]ing GOOD.

Thus far my favorite movie of the year. I will probably go see it again.

Police Girl · **Reply #877 on:** July 13, 2013, 07:12:25 AM

I'll probably see that sometime next week. Can't wait.

Anyway, went and saw The Heat today, very funny. Quality buddy cop kind of stuff, lots of swearing so those put off by that stuff probably shouldn't see it (As if there's anybody here who is offended by swearing). I wouldn't say go out and see it right now though, maybe wait for it to come to rental.

Alright, IMAX it is!

Police Girl · **Reply #881 on:** July 13, 2013, 08:19:59 AM

I wish we had IMAX.

Oh... but we have a Drive-In! That's close enough!

Too bad the other movie its paired with is The Lone Ranger, I have no interest in seeing that.

Reaperoid · **Reply #882 on:** July 15, 2013, 04:37:54 PM

My body is ready to see Pacific Rim tomorrow...

The Drunken Dishwasher · **Reply #883 on:** July 17, 2013, 12:17:53 PM

Finally! day off! Pacific Rim here I COOOME!

update: PACIFIC RIM IS [tornado fang]ing AWESOME! I. LOVE. IT, I want to watch it again, and again, and perhaps even a 4th time O.O

Saw Pacific Rim.

Omigaaaaaawd, nerdgasm

Wait... what?

That doesn't make any sense. Why?

Protoman Blues · **Reply #887 on:** August 23, 2013, 03:51:08 AM

I HAVE NO IDEA!!

I mean, I don't think Affleck is a bad actor at all. It's just...well curious really.

...My friend is going to flip. He HATES Affleck.

Police Girl · **Reply #888 on:** August 23, 2013, 04:04:11 AM

It should've been somebody older or something honestly. I mean if they're going to try and do Dark Knight Returns like I've heard they're planning on doing (Wouldn't that make Superman a supporting character though?)

Quickman · **Reply #889 on:** August 23, 2013, 04:32:14 AM

Ben Affleck as Batman... That's... that's... I don't... what the...

*brain BSoD*

Phi · **Reply #890 on:** August 23, 2013, 06:00:09 AM

I think Affleck could play a good Bruce Wayne; perhaps even a great one.

But I can't see him as Batman.

Quickman · **Reply #891 on:** August 23, 2013, 06:43:08 AM

Go home, Internet. You're drunk.

Flame · **Reply #892 on:** September 08, 2013, 07:56:11 AM

Well, Here it is...

Finally...

I... I just... Don't know. i can tell they are shoving the hamfisted family drama in there because that's what the hip movies do.

We see the two designs, the 80's looking one and the ~~Batman~~ "stealth" look... personally, i think the chrome 80's one looks pretty good as a redesign. Looks somewhat bulky too.

Then comes Batman, and it just looks like rubber.

Also, maybe this is just me, but...

HE

STILL

HAS

THAT

[tornado fang]ing

HAND

AUUGH

EDIT: WHOOPS, WRONG VIDEO

Protoman Blues · **Reply #893 on:** September 08, 2013, 08:26:39 AM

It looks generic and boring

Police Girl · **Reply #894 on:** September 08, 2013, 08:33:05 AM

Hmm... my complaints.

The hand thing, I get the mythology gag but really its kinda silly.

The whole way Murphy becomes Robocop, they blew up his car? The [tornado fang], the original way was better.

The fact that Murphy retains his memories, knowing who he is and his family and such, as opposed to slowing having it come back together as the movie went on. I already don't like this.

The Silver Suit probably won't be used very long in the movie to sell more black suit to kids or something, or black will be used at the end with silver being used primarily throughout.

Its never going to be as good as the original, unfortunately, there's no Clarence Boddicker, doesn't appear to be the OCP douchebag, and NO [tornado fang]ing ED-209.

Honestly, what made the original so great was the almost satirical feel it had, the parody commercials, the over-the-top violence... This looks too grim and gritty.

Fxeni · **Reply #895 on:** September 08, 2013, 08:34:32 AM

This was my thought when I saw it:

"Ehh..."

Quickman · **Reply #896 on:** September 08, 2013, 08:36:27 AM

There are a couple of interesting concepts buried in there, but overall, it looks eh. It's not worth the ticket price for only a couple of interesting concepts that could end up being executed poorly, anyway.

Flame · **Reply #897 on:** September 09, 2013, 12:59:24 AM

Ed-209 is in the promo materials, he's been redesigned. I'm sure we'll see him. (or various of him)

Michael Keaton plays the OCP CEO, and supposedly he's the villain. Looks like they are going for a Steve Jobs archetype with him. Oldman is Norton.

the most interesting concept present is the "illusion of free will" thing.

Quickman · **Reply #898 on:** September 09, 2013, 01:28:38 AM

Yeah, and that concept is really the only thing I'm interested in seeing. However, it seems to be buried under a mountain of family drama, business is evil, and what appears to be a host of action cliches. Paying full ticket for one single concept that may be swept under the rug shortly after its introduction just isn't worth it.

Aside from the "illusion of free will" concept, the whole thing looks eh.

This about sums it up for me.
