      <description><![CDATA[Late to the party, I know, but I've gotten the Robot Spirits bug.  I did a review of the new Hardpoint Zaku II, which is the best Zaku figure ever:

This guy's an older release, but I just got him on sale, and he's fantastic as well:

      <description><![CDATA[One drop in, and Glyos 2012 is looking pretty good.  Here's some goodies that arrived today:

[img]http://s3.amazonaws.com/data.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyugewARsE1qh488do1_1280.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAJ6IHWSU3BX3X7X3Q&amp;Expires=1328404870&amp;Signature=Ln3XAWh1DFfbrGwp0mI%2BaaW9Wgg%3D[/img]

The Gendrone color for this wave was metallic purple, and it is fierce.  I grabbed one of everything and some joints, but some people bought a ton more and have made some spectacular Shockwave-esque heavy builds.


[img]http://s3.amazonaws.com/data.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyugea46OP1qh488do1_1280.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAJ6IHWSU3BX3X7X3Q&amp;Expires=1328404942&amp;Signature=pkRNNeD2WKOFEnBNf28c%2B3Jm42s%3D[/img]

The Glyans have their own Warp Bikes now, using the new vinyl design that debuted as Callgrim's ride.  For Glyos use, Matt switched out the skull-head front piece with a Rig arm to pretty convincing effect.  Love that safety orange Glyan, too.


[img]http://s3.amazonaws.com/data.tumblr.com/tumblr_lyugch73Jy1qh488do1_1280.jpg?AWSAccessKeyId=AKIAJ6IHWSU3BX3X7X3Q&amp;Expires=1328404999&amp;Signature=eCqPh89nXuO7QpgJAZLvFrufUQo%3D[/img]

The big debut for the release was the Block, which consists of the two square center parts in the pic above.  On their own they act like a vinyl equivalent to the Microman cases.  They're jointed in the middle with a ring the same diameter as the waist on the Rig and Armodoc, and there are a couple of strategically placed circle details that can be cut out to add other parts.  They were sold colored like the bike above, and in blank black for customization.  Having grabbed one and some arm packs, I cannot wait to paint up this baby Rig powersuit build, and can't wait to see what people do with more of them!]]></description>

I mean, 3A toys are pretty durable with their super-stiff joints and tough-but-light vinyl, but there are a lot more demands on transforming robots' joints...]]></description>

      <title>[The OT] Re: The Myth of the Female Action Hero</title>

      <description><![CDATA[Well, it's not the SAME old action. The star is a MMA fighter, and the fights are very realistically staged and choreographed. They're shot in a very clear way, with none of the fast-paced, distracting editing of the modern action movie. There's NO score in the fights, just realistic sound. 

The problem is that Soderbergh, in service of this stripped-down style, eschews anything that would excite the audience or intensify their reaction. The fights are clear, they're competently shot, but the cinematography and editing don't work to attenuate the suspense - any reaction the viewer gets is from the action on screen itself. One might think that the use of only natural sound and realistic pacing would make the fights feel more brutal, but Soderbergh doesn't even intensify that aspect - he keeps the fights themselves fairly theatrical, with only the most momentary sense that the characters are hurting each other before they rebound and retaliate.

In a word, I'd describe the action as &quot;technical&quot;. It's a bloodless (figuratively and literally!) approach. Soderbergh may be telling us that he thinks this is how action on film should look and feel, but his philosophy discards what his audience wants. I liked the movie well enough - I think that mainstream action directors could take some lessons from it - but it's very, very far removed from the genre it's trying to take part in.

More to the point of this thread, I saw a lot of chatter when the movie was released, from both critics and random folks on the internet, about how Gina Carano doesn't look like the typical female action star. I don't really see what they're referring to. Her background is different from the typical actress, but on screen, she's still clearly been through hair and makeup, eyebrows perfectly shaped, made to look as smooth and flawless as everyone in Hollywood. By the end of the movie, she's even gotten into a fight while wearing an evening gown.

There's little attempt made to visually portray her in a way that distinguishes the character from the average Hollywood lead. The terse dialogue, written with consciousness of her inexperience as an actor, has a much greater effect on the character portrayal than anything about her appearance. On that note, I found that Carano was good in the role, never distracting or out of place. She's not about to blow anyone away with her performance, but she makes the spy-talk believable, and her scenes with Bill Paxton, as her character's father, really stood out.

Final note: This movie is perfect for anyone who's always wanted to see Michael Fassbender or Ewan McGregor get choked out.]]></description>

And then a bunch of people bitched about wanting to just have two purple rifles.]]></description>
