  1. Its funny (LONG STORY SHORT no such thing as the Brontosaurus, its called the Apatosaurus. But honestly the entire group of animals that look like that are called sauropods)

     

    I remember the Brontosaurus. But I have 3 dinosaur books and many dinosaur toys that look like this guy and none of them have his name.

     

    So I decided to look up why. From what I gather the guy who discovered the first Brontosaurus bones called it a "Apatosaurus" But a different guy found bones very similar but much bigger and assumed it was a different species and called it the "Brontosaurus" But they were the same animal just different ages. Unfortunately because the Brontosaurus guy didn't have all the bones and didn't even have the head he grabbed a head from a different species of dinosaur and stuck it on. I think he also broke some bones so that the tail would drag a long the ground as was his conventional thinking.

     

    And for years this was what we knew to be the Brontosaurus. By the way the head he used was the Camarasaurus which was the most common of these animals called the sauropods.

  2. Interesting

     

    I have never liked using AM via Mac OS for various reasons. Unfortunately I am a mac guy and do everything else on mac.

    This has always been an issue.

    The solution for years was a dual boot system on the mac into Windows.

    But that too was a pain because of having to shutdown the mac and restart. And less integration between what I am doing on the mac and what I am doing on the PC via th emac.

     

    New solution

     

    Windows 7 running on the mac on the mac OS via VMware Fusion.

     

    Only cost like $40.00

     

    Same Render speed even though its emulating and no issues as of yet.

  3. Maybe

     

    Its a fun ride. very witty, lots of action. It sets the bar for super hero movies if you ask me. I wish the xmen movies could have been this good.

  4. I vote for this.

     

    It was made recently. It shows off the power of AM.

     

    Lighting

     

    Sub surface scattering

     

    Decaling

     

    Hair

     

    All 4 stars

     

    I think you could put AM V17 between the blades of the tool.

     

    The previous artwork submitted is nice. But to me It represents the power and features of AM around 2002-2004

     

    Its 2012 guys. We need to represent and this guy did it.

    Back Story on the Alien bust. The poor artist that made both of these beauties Made the Alien back in mid 2008. To date I have not seen an organic model created in AM to be its equal although Stains work with the pixy is a close 2nd.

     

    Back to my back story. I Remember when Ziran made the Alien and he one the contest Hash used to ever every few months. Unfortunately although he won he slipped through the cracks and his image was never even feature on the Hash home page. It was an honest mistake someone had made.

     

    I know this will ruffle some feathers but I say we do a revote and add the killer kid picture to the contest.

     

    Yes the subject matter is hard core but so is AM V17.

     

    AM V17 IS a Killer APP!!!!!!!!!!

  5. Kind of on topic.

     

    thought the girl in the movie looked great. In an interview she said she had signed a contract to do a total of 3 movies. What i find interesting is that she is 5 years older than her co-star. She is currently 34.

     

    A big win for older actresses wanting lead roles as sex symbols in high budget movies. But what fascinates me is that if she does the other 2 movies she will most likely be in her late 30's to early 40's by the time the last one has been shot and or comes out in theaters. In some of her recent interviews she ha gained weight and makes comments about only eating veggies while preparing to shoot and during filming. She let out some insight into her mind when she talked about it and did not seem to want to loose that weight again. SHe made it sound extremely difficult.

     

    So im curious how the other 2 films will unfold. Im guessing her Character may become pregnant to help with this issue. Im also guessing this is the last time we will see her in a metal bikini. :(

  6. Wow Robert I was interested in reading the books until I found out that John Carter is even flatter in the book than in the movie.

     

    Dont get me wrong, I liked that he had pain from his dead wife and child. But when the pain is suddenly gone after accepting this new woman into his heart, illustrated by the lack of examples of pain after he falls for her... The whole pain thing becomes contrive.

     

    If you think about it. There was such potential.

     

    I liked when he used his bottled rage to kill a few hundred Martians. I thought they handled that well. But then I was like "who are these Martians and where did they come from?" WHy did they want to attack him so badly? Why were they so much bigger than the other Martians?

    Because of the blue immortals? Kind of thin and contrive.

     

     

    Believe it or not the highlight of the movie for me was when John's dog recused him at the moment he broke the blue immortals device which was controlling Carter.

     

     

    I thought that part was unintended genius. Why because It kind of reminds me of life. Despite the worst intensions of the blue immortal, even with all his technology and wisdom, he could not have factored into his equation a very real phenomenon. The wild cards that we are all dealt in life. Some good, some bad. But equally wild and unpredictable for all. In this case it was the form of a friend.

     

    Its kind of like the question what happened to Jack the Ripper, why did his serial killing murders end?

     

    We dont know but he may have been hit by a horse and buggy, had a heart attack, got some other illness, was mugged and murdered himself or even fell in love and decided to quit killing (however unlikely)

    But the murders did stop and I doubt that was Jack the rippers intention.

  7. I think im going to edit together a mix of episode 2 and John Carter. At least the Ape sequence which is almost identical to episode 2.

     

    My biggest problem with the move is how storie tellers are so bad when it comes to writing about the loss of a loved one. In real life no one is replaceable. Nut Yet John carter can just slap on a ring on the new girl and instantly forget about his dead wife and child.

     

    Just like in the movei "face OFF" When he places his dead child with a new kid.

     

    They just dont know how to to write for that concept. Disney or not. The torment of a dead child and wife does not go away with a new peace of ass.

     

    imo he should continue to be mentally plagued by that even after he fall in love with the new chick. That is more true to life.

     

    But I guess they want to give a sense of closure. The problem is that closer undercuts everything they set up with his pain and struggle earlier on.

     

    Bad dialog.

     

    "You are ugly but you are beautiful."

     

    Reminds me of Star wars dialog.

     

     

    Im surprised John carter did not loose the will to live.
