pro's and con's.. yeah sure, there always are.. i think the most common pro when things seem to go bad is that anything that comes later seems so much better. also, in a way, people get chance to calm down and have some rest time. as you stated some very good movies... what we should remember is that sometimes a movie has to be out a while before it can be considered worthy. because freshness of a movie can sometimes cloud us. are we just caught up in hte excitement or are we really appreciating the full aspect of teh film, story and all. I wanted to see terminator salvation in hte movie house but i could not find a partner. (it's cheaper if i go with someone to 'orange wednesday' promotion) i think there can be problems sometimes though.. the movie house may decide not to play hte movies that are actually good story and will use promotionals on movies that have flashy trailers. there will still be a lot of good movies made in each year, but you will not always get the exposure.

okay well while i edit the site and follow what you are doing, please bear in mind i have not watched blade. I do plan to watch it just have not yet.

of course there is a countermove. it's already happening. I know lots of people who will download a movie and watch it before deciding wether or not to pay the price of a cinema ticket.

I think this is also to do with risk. the film studios at the moment are playing it safe with the same formula that has been working for them. they don't want to risk in investing in something new and interesting, they are concentrating on bringing the money in. this is why indipendant films are the new interesting movies. indipendants do it because they are passionate. studios look at what attracts punters. big name stars, amazing special effects etc. the stuff that you CANNOT tell about without going to actually watch the movie.. i.e. the story... gets sacrificed. they do it because they can get away with it. once you actually watch the movie, they already have your money.

if you think about the worlds, there are normally a person representing the original character., perhaps there is a replacement character in this world but somehow there is ALSO the original.

A big difference has been in peoples ability to uinderstand visual language. storytelling practices have changed to fit in with more sophisticated viewers. if a person from 1920 watched a film from this year they would not be able to understand the story. because there are things we take for granted that these people did not.

Woah! what's that wierd vehicle? it's like a bus on rails...? or a train with tyres...? I've never seen anything like it!

the DVD I have is I think possibly the same as you have. I think i burnt them from downloaded episodes. I can't check it since my pc won't read the disc. however, the "Board Of Archaeological Research Department" does shorten to 'B.O.A.R.D.' which i believe is the name used in the series. is it perhaps shown on a sign somewhere?

okay, I see what you're saying. that makes sense however... when referring to a person I would never say 'creature' to describe mysterious or unfavourable. as we know from japanese society, a strange or mysterious person is viewed unfavourably. hence gaijin. so kaijin is definately not a kind term. in english, the connotation of mysterious or strange is not nearly as negative as it is in japanese culture. i would never say strange man, that just doesn't sound very suitable at all. you say kaiju means strange beast or monster... well kaijin could mean strange man or monster. because in english, 'monster' can be attributed to both man and beast alike. I think using mopnster would be quite suitable when looking at it this way.

it's all good. I'm sure that if anyone has any ideas they will help out. I've tried to do what i can.

the person who made that video needs to be hit with a bat. some people need to actually have some time to read the messages. i can't read at 20 words a second.

i hear ya, original configuration is an interesting idea, but lookng at that prop it just looks like it is a poorly made prop using wood and card. i know that river song now. I never knew her name.

yeah, i think that's a good idea. those pages turned out to be quite long in all cases. dude, you done so much why not take a rest from it if you feel it is a bit much?

well durendal, you know i love working on translating things and working with english in this case i think guy is a good term for person. as for kai.... it means suspicious, mystery, apparition.. I might be tempted to say boogie man... but that sounds childish. we could call them stranger... but that sounds too generic. oh hold on... kaijin can be translated as 'unknown'. sound familiar? do you think we can use that as separate from agito? another option is 'creep' assigned to a person who is creepy. I thik 'creep' is a good translation for kaijin. I want to suggest this over all other ideas. creep is also a term I've often heard used for the monster in horror movies or games. EDIT: but i thik kaijin is used quite often isn't it? should we use the generic term 'bad guy' ? is that what the show makers are suggesting?

hey tales! it's interesting, your accent sounds similar to an american accent. at least from a british point of view. thanks for the pics, that looks really cool! I like green beans, I have them in my fridge. and singapore looks beautiful the hot sun, it must be very hot most of the time but i guess you musdt be used to it. although i was surprised at teh people in that picture, I expected your people's skin to be darker because of the location of singapore. it is really interesting. I wonder if this is normal because i always thought that indigenous people's have dark skin to pretoect from the sun, but well i have no idea of the history of singapore, perhaps your coutry was invaded a lot just like the uk? oh, and hooray!! I am intelligent yes, I loved the cg on transformers too... I want to get a special version of teh film where you can cut out the crappy story and just watch the CG. XD

who is river song? I find it odd that they have decided to change the tardis to copy a rubbish prop.

bobby, please do not post another persons personal information on here. I don't know the situation and while i support your cause it is not just and right to reveal somebody's details. if you have any problems with any member on THIS forum, I can deal with it, get in touch with me by PM and i will help you out. but i am not going to take action and judge somebody before they get chance to do anything. everyone deserves a fair chance. I hope you can deal with this situation and hope it turns out well.

course we don't mind, this is awesome.

ok done

no problem, even i can't post html in the forum. it's a security feature. but i guess i could try and make it so admin can post html then perhaps i could fix some of these posts?

it's awfully nice of them to produce a new tv series about doctor who and then show it to us for free! I wonder if the new ideas in this will be as exciting as the first ones in the one done by rose tyler. it's very jarring to see new people doing the same series that I had gotten used to, but at least i don't have to worry about seeing that blasted captain jack again. I wonder what is up with the odd windows on that tardis. perhaps it is preparing for some special effects or someting. who is that woman btw? have we seen her before?

i dunno, just saying what i saw.

I think durendal means the main rider of that main riders world. so in kiva world, wataru was not kiva.

no i don't think it's necessary to change anything. it's just a minor annoyance. the people can easily visit the page that we are discussing. the links work fine.

phew, it took a lot but i think I got it all sorted out. I've done a bit of editing of sentai>super squadron, not all of it, but some basic bits.
