General 'whatever'.

probably just saw the best movie all year and wasn't even at the cinema! just watched this on dvd, apparentely was released last year but only just saw it on the shelve at my local store. i love these japanese movies as most really know how to tell a great story with great history and this movie has a really great dramatic story(ladies, get the kleenex ready!) not a whole lot of action in this but was glued to the screen the whole way through(and no, it wasn't because i had to read the english subtitles because i'm a gaijin) to keep it short its set in 17th century japan and is about a lordless samurai who seeks to use a noble's court yard to honourably commit seppicu…

Hi guys, I've done a lot of work on a fictional starfleet style ship. I've got a few blank spaces I need to fill in. Does anyone have some ideas about things that a starship would need? Like an astrometrics lab? Radiation contamination purgers? I want everything on my ship to have a purpose, and not just be a random room or machine Your thoughts? Thanks

Just to avoid discussion about this series on the Game of Thrones thread I decided to make this one so we can talk all about the awesome series that is known as Supernatural, a show about 2 brothers that hunt supernatural entities based on Mythology and Folklore, 2 of my most favorite subjects so you can pretty much guess how much I love this series. Name your favorite characters, seasons and so on and while we are at it what are your expectations for the yet to be made final season 9 and 10?

With the way mobile technology advances and the way people switch phones like clothes, it got me thinking how many phones people have ever owned, and how long do they usually keep their phone before they change it. For me, I got my first phone way back in late 90's. I started using the Nokia 5110 for about a year or two. Since it was not my phone of choice, I switched to the Nokia 7110 when I received my first salary. Used it for around 5 years before it finally broke. My next phone is the Nokia 6260. Used it around 3 years or so before it died on me. Then I got the Nokia E66 which became my main phone until a few months ago. Used it for about 4 years. If you …

So who else is hyped for Pacific Rim this weekend? http://youtu.be/Ef6vQBGqLW8 Despite the early negative guessing by statisticians, early reviews seem to be pretty positive. I can't wait until Friday!

So, do you eat potato chips, or any of that unhealthy sort of foods? I myself enjoy the occasional potato chip, usually when I am enjoying a nice movie at home. Most of the time I eat the local variants which cost a lot less. Although I would prefer Lay's, they are a lot more expensive. And most of the time, I can finish one whole bag by myself. I've recently bought Lay's wavy roasted garlic and seasalt, and I really liked it. Too bad it's not available locally. I'll be sure to buy a lot more when I go back to the states. So what's your chips of choice? How much do you / can you consume in a single sitting?

I feel it's a bit distracting to have these things sticking out of the left side of the screen, especially when I'm trying to read. How about you guys?

I moved away from my home town a few years ago, and wow, what is happening there now. You see, Lethrbidge Alberta is in the bible belt of Canada. So I heard all the doom and gloom predictions of the end of the world, and how we will need a safe haven. Even with global warming, the coastal places will be flooded, so one would think something so inland, shielded by mountains, and thousands of miles of open plains would be enough to protect people. Hell, when I was growing up, the grass was always yellow because it never rained, it was eternal drought. Well... things change. Earlier this month, a huge rain swept through Alberta, bringing down the mountain ice and…

http://www.comingsoon.net/news/tvnews.php?id=107113 Ok then. So the people who made the clone wars have been working on this, an animated series set in between ep 3 and 4. The article has more details. Now my views.... (clears throat) What many may or may not know is, I'm extremely critical on all things star wars. I can't stand the prequels much less the clone wars by any reasoning. Yes. The cartoon series was good, even great at times, but it wasn't what the clone wars was suppose to of been. That said in totally excited by this announcement, tho i am also.... Leery... Since the star wars clone wars series is official this series will be basing stories from th…

Hey guys! I don't think I've mentioned this before, but I got a summer internship for a new American manga company that's just starting to work on their first story. They're called Rock Steady, and their story is also called Rock Steady. My job right now is to get the word out about the project and help build an audience for Rock Steady, and also help them find a manga artist that is willing to work for free (time will be compensated though). I have read part of the story thus far, and IMO I think it's got potential to be a good manga. I would like to get some feed back on this, too. The guys that started this would really appreciate knowing their proj…

Good video series. What would you do? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsynPXnk_l8

So as you know I am a Gundam fan and would love to see a legit Gundam film, possibly a trilogy following the original storyline, with minor changes. Of course this isn't real and is only fandom, however I've thought a lot about this being a writer myself and came up with a fan based cast. I am curios to know who you would want to see cast as any Gundam character or what you think of the ones listed below. Heroes: 1) Amuro Ray (Shia Labeouf) 2) Fraw Bow (Danielle Panabaker) 3) Hayato Kobayashi (Shin Koyamada) 4) Kai Shiden (Tobey Maguire) 5) Ryu Jose (Anthony Mackie) 6) Mirai Yashima (Anne Hathaway) 7) Sayla Mass (Keira Knightley) 8) Bright Noa (Ben Barnes) 9) Matilda Aja…

I wasn't sure where to put this, but it HAD to be posted somewhere since this law Congress is trying to pass will affect this site. SOPA is a revised version of the Online Privacy Act that the United States Congress tried to pass back in 2011, only this time the forefront of the law is centered on fan-made postings (fanart, fanfiction, fanvids, etc.). If you are caught with such things and found guilty, you could be sent to prison for years under felony charges, even if you are not making a profit from said works. There is a petition to stop this, and it needs a total of 100,000 signatures. So far there are over 20,000 signatures. I have already signed it. M…

So do any of the Advocacy members play the Dead Space series? If so what are your on the series? What are some things that could be improved? What are some things that you though worked well for the games? How was your overall experience with the series?

I don't understand Youtube's selective copyright enforcement. Thousands (or is it millions?) of clips of copyrighted music and movies and TV shows get posted and are never blocked. I post two clips of 30 year old Japanese super hero opening and ending credits they're immediatly blocked (by Toho). The other clips from Rainbowman were not touched. Was it the music they object to having on Youtube? I also put some clips of Zone Fighter that no problems with but as soon as I included two with Godzilla those were immediatly blocked by Toho. I can't post ANYTHING from Toei without it being blocked. So no Kamen Rider or super sentai clips wiill be on youtube from me. H…

Any fans in here? I am, and not ashamed of it, I was always hesitant on watching it cause I try to avoid watching popular things just because everybody else watches it but after giving in to my curiosity i must say i was speechless on how well the writing is, at least in the 2005- ongoing version, I have not watched the old series yet. I usually don't like series or movies that involve time travel cause most of the time it is filled with plotholes and stuff but in this series which it's main thing IS time travel? it does everything in it's power to fill out any gap that they have made. I just love the characters as well and not just the Doctor, the companions are always l…

Just got my new Guyver messenger bag in the mail yesterday! I am very excited about trying it out today! I wonder if anyone will take notice.

I'm 5 seasons late, but I've recently started watching this series. I've heard a lot about this in the past, but never really paid any attention until I got curious a week ago. I find this interesting with the way the characters react to certain situation. Well, I'm still at episode 3 of season 1 so I don't know much about it, but the first episode starts of very interesting.

" A top-ranking North Korean military official has threatened a nuclear strike on the White House and Pentagon after accusing Washington of raising military tensions on the Korean peninsula." ( http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/asia/northkorea/10997161/North-Korea-threatens-nuclear-strike-on-White-House.html ) Okay, so I heard on the news that North Korea just threatened to blow America up for the 50th time. First it was Kim Jong Un threatening to Nuke Hawaii and Japan. Now this. I have no idea why America or mainly China tolerates this kind of behavior. All North Korea does is make one threat after the other. Seriously. This country is in need of a new forced…

"Before we get started...does anyone want to get out?"

I wonder how many of you have seen the Ancient Aliens TV series on History 2? I watch it mostly just to watch something on TV. First off, I don't really believe in aliens, but with the origins of live, I do believe that anything is possible until we find out why we're actually here as we are, be it aliens, divine intervention, or simple evolution. But what is most striking to me is how similar a lot of the Ancient Alien theory stuff is to certain plot elements of Bio-Booster Armor Guyver. If it wasn't for coincidence (how many of these guys have heard of Guyver anyways?), I'd swear that a lot of the stuff that they reference seem to have many similarities to the p…

A series on youtube that takes an in depth look into the original Warcraft history/lore and the altered history/lore that Blizzard used for WoW. It exposes some inconsistency within the story. You'll see some of the old history that was changed for the Expansion sets for WoW as well as altering of creature statuses. The new 'altered' history is now the official cannon for WoW so anything that is revealed in the series is merely for educational purposes and is no longer considered to be accurate in the Warcraft history and lore. Hope you guys enjoy. Episode 1- The Creation

Sochi 2014 finally draws my attention, but not because I'm interested in related sports disciplines, but because of those photos: After spending US$51 billion Sochi is ready! Video: I hope no sportsmen or journalist will die there

So as May 16th, 2014 draws closer upon us, news regarding the new Ninja Turtles movie has been released. This time in the form of images of some statues that seemed to be on the filming location, as well as a picture of an armored Shredder, who seems to be in some sort of power armor similar to what was used in the movie "Elysium". I personally think the Turtles look awesome. Shredder... Maybe not so much, but does look menacing with that mask/face.

I found out yesterday that their will be a Sly Cooper movie that will coming out in 2016. It seems it will be about the events of the first game, Sly Cooper and the Thievius Raccoonus. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nbXEKZVonko'>
