I only just got why they gave him a blond un-helmetted sidekick. She's the Anne Lewis to his Robocop.

That's some cart-before-the-horse observation right here.

At least Danbo gets it. And Makepeace would've made a great Anderson. Assuming that was the chick.

I hate to be that guy, and I trust the marketing peeps know what they're doing, but maybe it's time to throw something out there? Even if it's just set footage or something, in a similar vein to the birthday message?

I understand there's still 3 months to go, but still..

That's actually not surprising. The final mystery of Godpleton explained.

Yeah, I just found it non-gimmicky/intrusive this time. If it wasn't for an aisle or exit light constantly bouncing off the glasses I probably wouldn't have thought about it much.

Which I suppose is an argument against it, but there you go.

I think it was actually you who mentioned Tron wasn't a great example of 3D, and after watching Prometheus I'm a little less skeptical about the whole thing. I'll definitely endure the glasses since I get the feeling they're at least attempting to use it to its potential.

I couldn't put it across as well as Dod Mantle. You need to wait for the audio clip to load fully, it's only quicktime.

Thanks. My internet was F'd as usual. I misread your post earlier and he seemed to be quite fine with it. At this point I'm willing to go on faith.

That's the SI2K rig, from what I remember.. All the stuff that wasn't necessary on the camera was put on the backpack, which gave it the ghostbuster nickname.. The theme tune apparently got played over the radios every now and again..


Paradise FX advised Dod Mantle not to shoot a film on them, he said phuck 'em. He explains in this interview the difference between his 3D work on Dredd and Cameron on Avatar:

Could you give us the gist? I was wondering if this was the first use of them but apparently not. I can't view the link though.

Maybe it's the lighting but one thing about the extras is that they do appear quite colourful. That in itself gives off a Meg vibe (for me at least).

That's a great shot of the Karlmeister. I'd say the new gear completely works but it looks slightly less impressive on Anderson. Just one of those things I suppose.

As a rooky, should he really have an eagle?

I think I missed that pic in Mr Eliminator's avatar. Does anyone have the full version?

It's not very big or good quality. Think it is a magazine contents page scan.

Aaah, thanks. That would explain why I haven't seen it. He does pose with a gun quite well though.

Looper is the only other sci-fi film later in the month.

I wasn't aware of that but it does look interesting. Not really something I'd see at the cinema myself though.

Was that thirty seconds into the first one, like me?

I can actually tolerate the first one, but then I do own Extinction and Spiderman 3.  :-[
