I had a 5-speed ‘81 Celica with the 22R, the rust monster was strong with that one but the engine... smooth power all day long. I frequently had to use the cruise control because if I wasn’t careful I’d find myself doing 90+ without even noticing it. I never took her into triple digits, but who needs to go -that-…

Oh that dialogue is BRILLIANT! I’m laughing my ass off here, seriously. This is amazing wit and comedic timing, Henson was truly a genius. No wonder everything he touched was golden.

I don’t think it can, because Henson is gone.

I get it, you’re on the staff and you’re making money from all the Elmo merchandising. Doesn’t mean the rest of us have to be on board.

I don’t remember ever seeing this one before... it’s amazing. Just oh so beautiful, true Henson brilliance.

There is a difference between technology realistic to the relatively near future of Earth and a galaxy-spanning mega-civilization that has had interstellar spaceflight for hundreds of thousands of years and is full of technology that might as well be magic.

Did you notice that these ships have some sort of bubble shield surrounding them? That probably serves as an aerodynamic fairing and only a small amount of air gets through it if any. That’s why things shaped like bricks fly without any signs of wind resistance.

Way, way sexier.

And the subsequent 22R was even better. Toyotas of that era were nigh-unkillable, aside from some body rust issues. They took over the world because they were much more reliable and better built and more smartly engineered than their American competitors, plain and simple.

Clearly you are too young to understand Soundwave’s appeal. In the 80s, the Sony Walkman was THE piece of tech to have and every kid lusted after it. Most were lucky if they got a knockoff. It was at least as much a status symbol as an iPod or iPhone. Making a Transformer based on one was a no-brainer and he was an…

Wait, what? No muscle cars were sedans. They were always two door coupes.

There is no sufficient provocation to justify a large, strong man attacking a small underage woman. If you think there is, you’re sick.

Keep moving those goalposts, friend.

You act as if it matters if there is an “official American release” or not. It took me five minutes of Google search to find every one of those series available on region-free or Region 1 NTSC dvd or blu-ray disc. It’s called imports, and it’s completely legal. And buying imports makes sure more of your money goes to…

This has gotten far beyond ridiculous. I put up with the filler, enjoyed it through part of the Buu saga but even then the writing was on the wall —the formula of new bad guy, more training new form EVEN MORE POWER wash rinse repeat was inherently a dead end. This is a martial arts story, and what by the Frieza saga…

Brilliant! You sir win an internets!

Only things on that list that my friend does not have (on officially packaged DVD) are 7 and Flashback 2012. How do you define “legally released in the States”? Because imported DVDs are legal from the likes of Right Stuff and a lot of that is available on streaming services like CrunchyRoll. What, are you waiting for…

It’s because the original plane was designed for anime to look cool, not to be really functional. It was created by a science fiction visual designer, not a real aircraft engineering designer and so nobody was sure the design was actually airworthy. What these RC model makers did was build a Valkyrie that looked…

People always say that but I have seen every Macross series except for Macross 7 and my friend has them all on legally purchased DVD. What has Harmony Gold blocked?

I never liked the “ball breaks the plane = touchdown” rule anyhow. How many times have we seen guys flying towards the corner pylon with their whole body out of bounds but they hit the corner with the ball on the way down and that’s a touchdown? Fuck that. Even worse is the stupidest looking play in football, where…
