    InArt: The Lord of the Rings - Gandalf 1:6

    Just get some flakes in a paper towel, like the cheap kind that are more paper than cloth, the brown kind, or something similar, maybe brown paper lunch bag, whatever you've got around. And you can just sort of 'grind' it in the paper, between your fingers, that should break it up enough to...

    InArt: The Lord of the Rings - Gandalf 1:6

    I know this is way too much work, but what I've seen other painters do is use a blade to scrape off shavings of the "lead" and get it into a powder, and then use a brush, like a make-up brush, to apply it. Usually the skintone color/effect is achieved with powdered pigments, like pastels, and...

    InArt: The Lord of the Rings - Aragorn 1:6

    With how long Gandalf took, and already seeing Aragorn start to trickle out, it makes it seem like wait is not quite so long. Hopefully, the 'influencers' are honest with their feedback and don't just kiss butt to ensure their first batch privileges.

    Star Wars: The Acolyte

    Thanks for the spoiler-free review. It's certainly intriguing enough to check out. I've not seen Russian Doll, though I've read it was very good. Reading more about the creative behind it, Amy Poehler being included as well, it does interest me, but alas, there are only so many hours in the...

    Star Wars: The Acolyte

    Have I been pronouncing Queen Amidala incorrectly all this time? Why does George Lucas say "EE-MEE-dah-lah"? Is it not "Ah-meh-dah-lah"?

    Star Wars: The Acolyte

    Warning to everyone, "locker room talk" (crude/crass sexual talk) is not acceptable.

    Star Wars: The Acolyte

    Now that I've engaged with this issue for a while, I feel like the disagreement is one side feels like diversity is being prioritized over quality at the expense of story, and the other side feels like the story is suffering because content/schedule is being prioritized over quality. My issue...

    Star Wars: The Acolyte

    Ah, I see. Sounds like moving the goalposts. She IS experienced, just not the kind that you feel is appropriate. How did American Graffiti's success qualify George Lucas to write/direct Star Wars? Did Graffiti have space battles, lightsaber duels? Did it revolutionize visual effects? How did...

    Star Wars: The Acolyte

    George Lucas' first writing credit was in 1967 for THX 1138, he wrote Star Wars in 77. So, 10 years experience. Leslye Headland's first writing credit is is in 2010, she wrote The Acolyte in 2024. That's 14 years of experience. Leslye Headland had MORE experience than George Lucas then they got...

    Star Wars: The Acolyte

    I guess I have to ask the dumb question but, you watched the whole season already? And it doesn't start airing till Tuesday ... Did they give you all the episodes in advance?

    Star Wars: The Acolyte

    That's a distinction without a difference. The media reports on what the fans are doing. Do you think fans loved Jar Jar, and it was the media that hated Jar Jar? If we had Twitter back in '99, I'm 100% confident, people would've tweeted death threats at Ahmed Best, just like they did Kelly...

    The Fall Guy (2024)

    This movie was hilarious. I'd heard it was a dud in the theaters. so that made me want to see it more than anything else. I thought Ryan Gosling was a pretty big draw, particularly after the interest after his role as Ken. Lots of fun stuff, I enjoyed all the foreshadowing/callbacks, there was...

    Star Wars: The Acolyte

    I don't go to sushi restaurants, because I don't like sushi. I also don't go on sushi message boards and spend my time talking about how much I hate sushi.

    1/6 Hot Toys - Arkham Knight - Nightwing

    Should this thread be locked? When it's bumped without an pre-order announcement, do you feel immense displeasure? Or would you rather just keep it open?

    Star Wars: The Acolyte

    But, nearly all the actors you previously mentioned were offed early on. Qui-Gon, Obi-Wan ... I mean, that's the trope of the Hero's Journey. The mentor gets killed and the hero has to learn to carry on.

    Do you not think Carrie Anne Moss fill the "anchor point" role you are describing?

    Sideshow: The Clint Eastwood Legacy Collection (1:6 figures)

    Cool, I don't typically see 1/6 figures in a BESTA. They fit pretty good, despite that door having a pretty intrusive 'lip' on it.

    This is how the black paint on my Wolverine figure looked. The edges were "fuzzy".

    Jazzinc Dioramas 1/6 Ultimate Catwoman (Batman Returns, 1992)

    Is it possible that the source at Hot Toys (or their factory) is intentionally misleading him to entice him to significantly overproduce and immediately go out of business? I mean, the factory agents can be pretty devious "Oh yeah, we made 40,000 of these for Hot Toys. They sell like...
