    maybe the aoa people wanted to piggyback off of aou hype like people type in 'age of' in the search bar and adaline shows up heh

    yeah and get people to accidentally get tickets to it instead of ultron ehehhe

    but nah unless they changed the title of the film way into production or something (which honestly isn't a big deal) it's prob just a coincidence considering this seems more like an awards/art film rather than a blockbuster so it really doesn't matter how much money it makes

    also lol I finally get what the title means due to that reference you made to Benjamin Button. I thought the title referred to age as in a time period rather than a person's years of age lewl guess I was thinking of Ultron there too

    For model sheets, I'd go with Fidgit first, unless you get permission from DougJustDoug to draw Voodoom. :)

    you can get it in peruvian markets, but I pretty much had it at every restaurant I went to cause of the no serving water with food thing.

    I dont think I had lomo saltado but I did have ceviche. What about guinny pig? did you have that?
    brightobject

    lomo saltado is like some sort of salad with more meat than salad, delicious! Cuy is good too, really chewy but full of flavor *-* isn't it crazy how ceviche is cooked with acid and not heat? I didn't know that until Peru.

    im pretty sure they do that in japan to. I went to a seafood place and had several different dishes of fish, it was so good.

    the size of the corn kernels is also crazy, and so many potatoes.

    I went to a river that had the best fruit, I forgot what it was called, but it was in the desert near the coast.

    also the Vietnam joke was a good one

    I had the same problem with it as you, except I guess I was proposing a different solution; if you think about it it's like you could either go bad but epic <<---middle -godzilla--->> good but not as epic (like it's a continuum, y'know) and you want it to be on like either end. Most Godzilla fans (me included) basically wanted the former, because that's what Godzilla has always been known for. I feel if they were gonna do a not-so-good job of making us empathize with the characters, they might as well not have tried as all (I do think it would have been equally cool to have better character development though) and just used the tried-and-true godzilla formula instead. The cinematography was excellent though, especially with how every time they encountered the bad monsters they showed a bit more and a bit more until that one scene on the train tracks.

    tl;dr neither do I, I just would've rathered they just done what the previous godzillas had done instead of serving up a half-baked attempt at character development. I do think them killing off Cranston was a cool choice though, really surprised me, kept expecting hiim to pop up out of the rubble after the credits or something lol.

    Nah killing Cranston was a mistake, HE was what the movie needed to have that human element. Like I said to Hootie, a great way to get you to care about the characters is for there to be a lack of closure that you desperately want the characters to resolve. Him and his son's relationship was PERFECT. He's gone mad 'cause of his wife's death and became obsessive, and that pushed his son away from him when really what she would've wanted was for them to stay together. That's great drama, and then throw in that they get separated or something 'cause of the MUTOs and then you care about them and want them to both make it to the end to reconcile.

    And yeah honestly I think either could have worked, because the effects in this were absolutely spectacular and the fights were absolutely amazing. I guess I kinda just wanted the more human perspective because that's not really been done before. Having it more as a disaster movie rather than an action or monster movie, and therefore focusing more on how humans (and you the viewer, by insert) would feel and be affected by it. Again, the cinematography reflects this (I was really pleased and affirmed when I watched the behind-the-scenes vids and they were mentioning that they were shooting with this in mind).

    That's why my favorite scene in the movie is the HALO jump, 'cause some of it's shot in first person. It's seeing Godzilla up close and personal in a way that hasn't really been done before (in most of the Japanese films, most of the shots are like full-body and such).

    hehehe

    why'd you delete my vm mang :[
    Hulavuta
    Hulavuta
    'cause I talked about it a lot with Hootie last night and didn't wanna repeat myself but I realized I could just tell you to look there instead right after I Deleted lol

    anyway I didn't really like Pacific Rim tbh and I didn't expect to like Godzilla but surprisingly I agree with all the issues people had with it but for some reason it's still one of my fav movies. Like just check my convo with Hootie on my page for my full thoughts 'cause I don't wanna repost them.
