If it were up to me, I would rather that they cast an unknown for the lead roles, especially for Amuro and Char. Similar as to how actors are afraid of being typecast, the true can also be said on the viewers perspective. For example, we are already typecasting Ben Affleck as Daredevil even before he puts on the cowl. besides, big names in movies usually means big salary, leaving less budget for the other more important aspects of the movie. How many times have we seen big stars being cast in famous characters only to have that movie flop?

Well, I'm not saying that all hollywood movies are crap. Look at Death Note. It was slightly faithful and I did enjoy it. But I don't think it would be right for them to recreate the One Year War as a live action movie. Then they would have cast a very young Lalah and portray the pedo tendencies of Char. They don't call him the ped comet for nothing. If ever they do a Gundam movie, I would prefer that they either stick to the original material (which hollywood never tend to do), or create a new story altogether. You have to remember, there are many Japanese who worship the Gundam franchise, and any wrong move will spur the wrath of legions of Otaku. I remember a lot of them idolizing Matilda so they have to be very careful who they cast her. I have to admit, G-saviour wasn't exactly purely Japanese made. It probably failed because it tried to distance itself from the franchise by not even mentioning the word Gundam. Wait no, it was just poorly written.

Good God Man! They already released a live action Gundam film years ago and they failed miserably. Look up G-Savior. Even Tomino, the original author, voiced his disapproval of the movie. No offense, but I don't want Gundam to be polluted with a touch of hollywood. They are never faithful to the original source. I want to remember the Original Gundam as the classic they were.

Due to the long holiday weekend, I was bored and told myself, "hey, why not watch some random anime". Navigated to Dannychoo.com and looked for something that might be interesting. I saw in some of his posts about a random giant monster that looks like a skinless man. Searched for it and decided on that. I was initially going to watch one episode only, first to pass the boredom, and second to get a feel of the anime if it is worth watching. Surprised was I that it was a good series. The series is titled "Shingeki no Kyoji" or known in english as "Attack on Titan". Here's a short description based on mangareaders: Yes, it was originally a manga. But I felt that the anime fleshes out the characters very well. Turns out, my little curiosity kept me up late at night to watch this. I'm already up to episode 14 and things looks good.

JB in Star Wars? God forbid. Unless they intend him to be the next Jarjar Binks. Well, they do have the same initials.

You really can't go wrong with the phone that was given the title of best phone of 2012. We are now entering the era of mobile computing that might eventually phase out desktop and laptop computers. Although I doubt that will happen anytime soon as I myself prefer desktop PCs. But mobile phones nowadays can outperform desktop PC's with the Octacore thingamajigs. Crazy, who needs a processor that fast? Well, I'm still happy with my Blackberry Z10, but my Blackberry Curve 9360 feels a little bit neglected. I'm still trying to decide whether to get the SIII Mini or the S4 Mini to replace my Curve. Maybe in a few more months I'll be able to finally decide.

Well, if you are not very particular with the specs, you could get the Galaxy S Duos, which is relatively newer and cheaper. I think the S Duos retails about £150, new.

That's the good thing about android, you get to fiddle with everything, moreso if you decide to root it. I'll stick with blackberry 10 since it's sort of the middle ground between ios and android. I was actually thinking of replacing my old blackberry curve to an SIII mini, but has to put if off because I just bought my mother a Galaxy Grand. Thought that the screen real estate would help her due to her bad eyes. She's still adjusting from it coming from an old symbian s40 nokia. And after setting it up, I have this urge to keep it. I actually want one just because of the apps. But in terms of productivity, I still rely on my trusty blackberry Z10.

This is just a wild guess based on the bits and pieces of manga that I saw, this is the first general enemy. I'm not sure but it looks like he is disguised as Akitsu Masaki, and later referred to as General Rugius? One of the Generals of Noie Nomatoda? Someone should correct me if I am wrong on this.

Get Lucky! YEAH!!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5NV6Rdv1a3I

Ooh! Ooh! Pringles!!! Once you pop, you can't stop! I love pringles.

You got that right, eating whole goddamn bag of chips. I may have that syndrome as well. Just last night, I bought 2 bags of lays, salt & vinegar and Sour cream & onion. That's 2 goddamn bag of chips. And since I'm watching Game of thrones every night, I have this urge to open on whole goddamn bag of chips and finish it in one sitting. Goddamn bag of chips!

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?

The look on everyone's faces when Danaerys claimed the unsullied. Priceless. Reading along with the book, seems like they made a lot of changes. Some of them do make sense. I guess only season one stayed very accurate with book one. Although there are changes, the general direction of the story stayed the same, and doesn't make plot holes.

To be fair, EVA did start out to be an amazing series, just so happens the director screw all the fans with the ending. Hopefully this movie will not follow suit. And yes, definitely gonna watch this. Looks like a lot of good movies coming out this week. Hard to believe that the minion toys from despicable me 2 are sold out nationwide. But that's for another topic. I'm expecting a lot of destruction from this movie. Something that we can look forward to.

So they really called the monsters kaijuu? Really?

So you're basically saying that the basic instincts of humans are downright evil? I have to agree with you there. God know how may species the humans have made extinct. But animals have no concept of morality but they still survived to this day if they are left alone. I'm a shallow person and I have no grasp of what you guys are talking about in the movie, particularly the religious insinuations. I don't care if you see Jor-El as God and Kal-El as Jesus. To be completely honest, comparing the movie to religion kinda puts me off. What is so bad about simply enjoying a movie? Why analyze too deeply? It's a freaking movie and seeing it makes me happy. Why over analyze things? Have we evolved too much that it is very hard to enjoy simple things? Would this lead us to someday eventually put drama into a simple act such as pissing? Oh, the relieving pleasure of water leaving the body. How it soothes the bladder making you feel the warmth of your body, ever the tingling sensation in your shoulders as you feel the container being emptied into the shiny water closet. With the trickling sound of urine splashing into the water's surface making melodious music to your ears.

Hmm... nice work. But the area around the torso of Valcuria seems to be slightly un-proportional. It's probably the missing creases, as those define the shape of her bossoms.

Taking this literally, Uh..... EWW? What kind of sick person would do that? I mean, come on, porn is so easily accessible nowadays and they have to settle with that? Besides, you don't really get to see them get it on, just some partial nudity and moaning sounds. And mind you, not all actors are as pleasing when they take their clothes off. One had to remark that she close her mouth. Although Lena Headey was hotter when she was getting in on in 300.....

I'm almost done with Season 2 and stopped at episode 7. What birth would that be? You mean the shadow assassin? I find that oddly disturbing. Also, reading the book side by side, I see that there are a lot more differences compared to the first season, but nothing major. Greyjoys sister is supposed to be named Asha not Yara, but I guess they changed it to avoid confusion with Osha. Theon's skin must have crawled when he found out about who Yara really is. Haha, serves him right. I'm still catching up with the book so I really can't say how much they changed.

Look at the bright side, he's no longer wearing his underwear outside.

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 notice a lot of my phones are Nokia. I'm very particular about the features of the phone so I really spend time trying to research the phones that would suit my needs. And if you notice, I only change phone when they break. Now for my second phone, I started using one around 2007 which I am now calling my work phone. I started off with a Nokia 2700 (company issue). It was a cheap feature phone, I had no intention of changing it until I lost it after a year. So I bought the Nokia C3 until 2 years ago our company started mandating us to carry blackberry for us to be able to check email on the go. So I stored my Nokia C3 and started using the Blackberry Curve 8520 (company issue). It was hella slow retrieving emails so I bought the Blackberry Curve 9360 after a few months. So I was using it side by side with my Nokia E66 until last March. Since I was paying for an unlimited data plan, I found my phones to be under utilized and finally took the plunge and got the Blackberry Z10. Since my Nokia E66 is starting to give, I decided to retire it and replace it with my Curve 9360 instead. Now I'm rocking 2 Blackberry phones. Reflecting on this, in a span on 15 years, I have had 9 phones total and has been using only Nokia and Blackberry. The reason why I am using 2 phones is not because of the limitation of the phone, but more on the limitation of the network. I'm keeping my first network ($8 monthly contract) simply because they have the best coverage, and they don't offer this kind of plan anymore. My second network costs me around $43 a month ($36 monthly contract + $7 phone subsidy locked for 30 months), which includes unlimited call, text and data. But they have lousy coverage. What is your phone story?

I'm not aware of any streaming sites for this, but chances are, if you look at the right place, it might not be that difficult to find. Although I do get mine via torrent from eztv despite us having HBO and is currently replaying the 3rd season in the wee hours of the night. I'm not sure if comparing it to Lord of the Rings would be right. Although they share the same concept and genre (midieval settings), the story is driven not by a single faction. There are three settings which intertwines with each other. You have conflict on Kings Landing which deals with the political aspect where those involve play the.... well... game of thrones. Then there is the Night Watch, where it deals with a group that keeps invaders from the North, which may include savages or supernatural creatures (white walkers). And finally, it also has the story of the exiled prince and princess, heirs to the deposed King who has the blood of the Dragons. Although all three settings have different stories, some characters cross over to each other, which we think will eventually end up in one final major climax. It has drama, conflict and definitely gore. They don't hesitate showing people getting decapitated, but done with taste. And the good thing about this is that they don't tell you who the good or bad guy is. It will make you love the characters or hate them. Heck, you don't even know who's going to live or die.

i really can't remember if they showed his capture in season two as a flashback, but i guess they have to leave something to the imagination. about bran's premonition, to which are you refering? as you'll find he has a few in this coming season. Oh, him being a greenseer is already evident in the first book. The crow also talks to him about flying. As I watch season 2, it is only there that they are hinting at Bran's abilities. Currently watching season 2 and I can't seem to remember the book ever explicitly saying Renly was gay. It really makes me uncomfortable watching Renly and Loras getting it on.

I have that exact same problem when I was watching Kuuga. But I also learned that those sub-titles were not included in the original air of Kuuga as the director wanted to present the grongi as mysterious beings. It's frustrating sometimes for me. I think the subs were only added on the DVD release later on. So if you are seeing those subs, you got lucky. Unless you can speak grongi. Did you know they actually constructed the grongi language? It's similar to japanese in grammar but uses different sullables.
