Yeah, Starship Troopers didn't have flat, featureless battlegrounds even if it did use CGI on a large scale in the battles.

I think those vehicles might actually be CGI; this is not based on what they look like (they still do look like miniatures to me) but solely based on the fact that I can't find a direct reference to or a photo of a minature of them online. It matters nothing as they're both composited essentially the same way.

I fully encourage CGI-chat! It's either an interesting look at how designs are implemented through special effects, or it's a fascinating look into people's misconceptions, akin to T****r's astonishing misuse of the 'rule of thirds'.

I cycled through Tumblr and Twitter before I figured out what that meant. :D

My favorite is that the skin texture of the Kaminoans was taken from one of the animators themselves but drained of color.

Obiwan: Well if droids could think, there'd be none of us here, would there?

That's what most people seem to believe, but Obiwan has it wrong. The singularity is bullshit. People simply cannot imagine a sentient being that doesn't lust for power.

The already-questionable "effective altruism" movement is being taken over by these kinds of people, because the ultimate effective altruism logically must be saving trillions of post-singularity souls from potentially evil AI. Therefore, you must give your money to transhumanists, specifically the worrying kind.

Godzilla episodes.

Here's the robot that SMG is: http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Unidentified_T-series_tactical_droid_(Malastare)

quote:

This tactical droid was unique due to the fact that in its chest was a symbol resembling the Oxygen Destroyer from the Godzilla series, that was used to kill the creature in the original 1954 film. The Zillo Beast arc as a whole was actually a reference to the Godzilla series itself.

Also voiced by Matthew "Grievous" Wood.

What you're pushing here is a New Age/Jungian balance of 'natural' masculine and feminine 'principles', which is very distinct from actual feminism as combating exploitation. Deep-seated archetypal identities, "Men are from Mars, Women Are From Venus", right? This means that you have absolutely misunderstood the prequels.

I agree, though contrariwise one of the biggest prequel boosters of all time is super-Jungian Camille Paglia.

One of them's relevant even!

Sega no longer owns those characters because of the original "author" getting them in a contract dispute.

They're no longer... canon.

So I guess I don't have the back story for this Tezzor fellow so I can't help but feel that I've stumbled into some sort of sick alternate universe where the people who didn't like the prequels are treated as the irrational ones

please help

Tezzor used to be called Goatstein and he has steampunk wedding pictures and for 10 years he has refused to post them
