While this cast looks amazing, my only gripe is that I wish Charlie Hunnam was using his native British speaking voice. I just have this feeling that a part of me is going to be taken out of this by constantly thinking, "Heh, Jax Teller's piloting a big-ass robot." At least, that happened when I listened to his VO on…

Nice, thanks. Too bad that the cheaper one is out of stock. I can try eBay, but wow, I can't see myself spending $225 on a model kit. Metal or not.

That's pretty badass. How much does the one in the pic go for? Is that 1:100 scale or 1:60 Perfect Grade?

Can't go wrong with Gundams.

I've been trying to coin the term "Hansbros" at the Star (used it in a headline and everything) to describe them. Hasn't really picked up that much steam though.

I remember watching that confrontation and immediately pronouncing in my newsroom, "HEY, that's MY little brother! Anyone's gonna knock him down, it's ME!"

Ummm, doing it "Andy Serkis-wise" involves an actual actor, as it's performance capture, meaning there's a guy in the capture apparatus acting against the other performers. Which is why the Hulk in the Avengers was great, because for the first time it wasn't just some entirely 100% CG creation, but actual movements…

I think we can agree with you there. However, as long as it's an entity that isn't Marvel Studios, and this is not a slam against Josh Trank, it's not going to be "handled correctly by the right people."

You clearly didn't get the joke.

Honestly, though, who can say that A&E doesn't buy a few units under employee or fake names, stock them with various "treasures" and/or utter garbage that can be found at any number of neighborhood garage sales, and then defaults on these units during pre-production of a season, knowing full well that one of the cast…

Reading the wonderment and amazement coming off the guy, I actually took in that entire column with a goofy grin on my face. It's fun reading an account of someone's first game and feel that joy he got from it. It also helped when I read it in my head in a "Moose and Squirrel" accent.

What's more demoralizing: playing to the best of your ability (which was admittedly poor) and being blown out by 105 points? Or playing to the best of your ability and losing by less because you consciously know that the opposing team is not only blowing you out but going easy on you at the same time? That's just…

This game was on the schedule, and the contract was signed, before the corporate takeover of the school and the mass exodus of students wishing to stay within IPS occurred, so it was too late to cancel this particular matchup. Next year, plenty of time to find another school to face off against for each school.

If I remember correctly, wasn't Levi originally set to be Fandral, but couldn't because of his commitment to Chuck? So they went with Charming instead. But now because of his commitment to OUAT, they snagged Levi back?

In a word: Yes. I've been reading most of the post-series books, and pretty much all of them are great. In the post-Nemesis era of TNG and DS9, there's David Mack's Destiny Trilogy (which ties together pretty much every series except TOS), all this stuff with the Typhon Pact books (rival Federation-type entity made up…

I doubt that, as they showed that little flashback bit in the trailer with Kid Tonto putting on the makeup for the first time.

Hmmm, a guy whose name that, pronounced phonetically, is "dwuh-yane," is trashing the name of something else. Sounds about right.

I get why it's so expensive. It's because he's buying the pieces from Lego and then sending them to you with the kit. Buying loose bricks from Lego's site is insanely cost-prohibitive for projects such as this unless you've got the money or are that much a fanatic.

I tried to design one with that lego builder software, where you could build what you wanted and then price out the parts. It was gonna be expensive. I think the best way to go would be the giant plates for the 3 sides, with the halved plates for the doors (natch). and then use the thin smooth pieces (stud-less) to…

Eh, I just enjoy watching them play. I could really give a damn about the numbers. I just enjoy it for what it is. I also get to play with all those pretty pretty local and wire action and celebration photos on Sundays and Thursdays, too, when I put together the sports section for the Star, so maybe I'm biased in that…
