I can't wait for this movie to come out! I've never seen the original Astro Boy nor have I read the manga, but back when Cartoon Network aired a newer series years ago I watched it then and loved it. Unfortantily it was taken off before the series was completed so I couldn't finished it. But I still love it regardless. And recently I heard that, yes, the were making a movie!
Astro Boy's been around for a pretty damn long time mind you, so this is a classic imo ;)
I'm not a big fan of big trucks. I'm really not. I'm more of a sports car kind of person. There is an exception though. If you give me options I'll pick a truck like the GMC Topkick or an InternationalCXT/MXT. Those aren't big trucks. No. They're big ass trucks. With emphasis, like whoa. I also like semi's or eigthteen-wheelers or whatever you wanna call them. Kenworth, Peterbilt, International, you name it. There's just something you get with a big ass truck like that you just can't get from a wee sports car. Not mentioning you can run over a car and keep going with a semi :)
Also, I'm not a Harely-Davidson 'fan'. While yeah, I can respect people who love them and ride them, they've just never striked any fancy with me. I'm more of a Kawasaki Ninja kind of person.
But if you apply 'Harely-Davidson' to my second favorate big truck then you and I got another thing coming.
While shifting through Car and Driver a while ago, I found the Lim.Ed. `09 International Long-Star Harley-Davidson. While, they said that monster was one serious gas guzuler, took nearly three lanes to turn (damn) and, no toliet (lol) it's still worth at least driving it once. Hell I'd just love to sit in the front seat! Though I think I'll stick with an CXT or MXT.
I was watching BBC America's Top Gear a few bit ago when they started talking about one particular car. Normally I suck at remembering names of cars especially when they have 'odd' names. I have a hard time remembering American associated cars so let's not go into the subject of foreign ones. Though every once in a while a name will stick with me and I'll be able to r/m them.
I'm not a completely fluent in what is known as car but car's (trucks occasionally too) I do find a keen interest in. And in today's time and place I'm all for car's that we will benefit from having in the future and which would be awesome to have now. I'm not all for the 'global warming' thing, I am into new car's that don't run on oil, petrol or anything else that'll be running anytime soon.
And we get into the subject of Hydrogen and electricity.
In the past couple year's we all know people have been developing cars and various other vehicles that run on electricity. With serious draw back obviously. Car's that only run for a couple hours before having to be charged and takes, what? Four some hours? And batteries can get expensive depending on what you're using it for.
But. The Honda FCX Clarity. It's a four-door sedan, goes up to 136 mph, runs on Hydrogen that converts to electricity(no gasoline), and is only available in California at the moment lol.
While this car obviously some foreign luxury car you only see in magazines or an auto show it's far more significant that it looks. It's. . .a car! Personally while I'm not a fan on Honda, just 'cause, being that I'm into the whole zero-emissions that don't destroy the ozone layer or smog up our cities this is a very fine car. This car is the equivalent of the Model-T way back then, only now. From my understanding it's a step into the future. And I'm sure in the future companies will be doing similar like this car. So hopefully we get something a little more sporty but still affordable for use middle class folk;)
It was probably about I don't know, a year? after the PS2 released that I finally got one after my original playstation went ca-put. Got it as a reward from my dad for some reason that I don't remember. While I'm not much of a game player have picked up the controller every once in a while. The last name I played on it was actually quite recently. Started playing the 07 Transformers The Game. Still have beat it yet but I'll get around to it eventurally.
Anyway, since the PS3 came out every once in a while I'll hear/read something about how the Playstation 2 is doing far better than it's heir and I can't help but find that hilarious. When it comes to technology we all know that the newest thing is the best thing to have. Like the Iphone and Ipod for example. It seems that the PS3 is following the Ipod in the less glourious side of technology now.
From what I understand the PS2 has out done the PS3 by more than 500,000 and it's nine-years old already. Not even a decade. Damn I feel old lol!
I think the only thing that's a constant from everything from Apple to Sony is the economy, which has been winning with one knock-out punches for sometime now.
When it comes anything film related, whether it be blockbuster movies or TV show's you see on ABC, NBC or BBC people tell you that it's not always the company or how the shows made (graphics etc) it's the story line that makes a good show. And depending on the genre of show or movie its the extra humor or the or the extra details to explosions.
While a good story line is always good to have it never ceases to have good graphics, CGI and other various forms of animation to the extra touch. Say, compare Industrail Light and Magic and Disney/Pixar to crappy horror movies and SyFy's (previously known as Si-fi since last month) fantasy flicks and their crappy dragons and various other monsters. Don't get me wrong I love watching SyFy just not their original movies. Sorry SyFy fans.
But when you combind Studio 4°C (which is a new studio for me but what I have seen with what they work on they're usually involed in some cool shit), Production I.G, Bones (effing awesome), and Toei Animation, and whoever the hell Casio Ent. is, you know you're in for something good.
So getting down to the point of this. One word: Halo. Halo has succesfully taken the world by storm. And from what I know. You either hate or love it, nothing inbetween it. And for those of you who hate it, quick bitching about people who do and just let Halo fans be. I'd love being more of a Halo fan but I don't have ready access to an Xbox or whatever. I have though seen a couple reviews on ATOS, other TV shows and a couple bits on random internet sites. Naturally I was left impressed. After hearing that a new animation was going to be released and some Anime at that I knew now I just had to wait. And it's been about time.
Despite being only a couple shorts it looks promising, yes? Oh, btw, totally want the soundtrack :D
While I wasn't part of the 'original' generation when Tron first came out in 1982 when I frist watched the Tron movie (all the way through mind you) while it was an 80s movie I still enjoyed it nonetheless. For a while now I've been reading/hearing rumor of a new Tron movie, and honestly I really can't wait to see how a new modern Tron would be like.
Being that I'm a big fan of modern CGI/3D imagery and computer graphics (Transformers being a Prime example. Pun intended). Seeing movies in the past (yet still resent) over the years and how they've progressed I know Tron has a load of potential of being a ubber awesome (always wanted to say that) CGI/3D movie. Hopfully when the new Tron comes out in theathers it will suceed to impress me and fans alike.
Recently at Comic Con they released a teaser for the new Tron Legacy. Watched it first on Yahoo (quality sucked) but I still when "Wow!. . .that's awesome." So with a quick youtube search, found it and with better quality.
All and all, while I'm not a big hardcore fan like I am with Transformers, after seeing that I really hope that it meets my (and a few other fans) expectations.
