I really liked that show. It is for kids, true, but that's not all bad. I think the "problem solving" of how to keep it accessible to kids and updated from the original, but still fresh enough to do its own thing, was great. And the animation style (more for the mech than the people) was cool.
It does start slow but it's worth it. Gene Khan, the Mandarin, is very sympathetic. Actually, lots of the villains have excellent characterization. Plus the armor and tech designs.
Originally shared by Curt Thompson This is an interesting theory, but I notice the author has to omit one of the most important Heinlein novels to make it work. Time Enough For Love was written in the very early 70s and was a straight (heh) extrapolation of the chaotic and frenetic zeitgeist of that era. http://www.locusmag.com/Perspectives/2012/11/the-joke-is-on-us-the-two-careers-of-robert-a-heinlein/

Originally shared by Andrew “Incomitatum” Chason Hit Me with your Horror I am looking for some horror flicks. The newer the better. Good is good too. I liked House of 1000 Corpses and Devil's Rejects . I liked both the new Texas Chainsaw movies. Hills Have Eyes 1 was good (never saw the second . Jeepers Creepers 1 & 2 come to mind as well. A little camp, and/or "back woods" can't hurt. Any of you have any recommendations? Lets try and not go too far back than mid 90's. Aside: How was the new "Freddy" movie? Suggested So Far • Bones (2001) • Drag Me to Hell (2009) • The Grudge (2004) • Don't Be Afraid of the Dark (2010) • Dog Soldiers (2002) • The Decent (2005) • Creature (2011) • The Last Winter (2006)
I tried to watch that. I couldn't get past the first episode, it was just so painfully bad.
ReplyDeleteDoes it get better? Or do you just find something else about the show (like the robots) to love?
