Yea I was also pretty impressed with what you can do with Minecraft these days. Its pretty neat.
I don't think that was made in minecraft. It was prob made in 3dsmax or similar in 'minecraft style' aka we didn't bother making real art for it.

I'm hoping this movie is a cultural phenomenon so I can finally buy sweet giant robot toys without looking like a weeabo.

oh shit man. even 90s were the days. toys were sturdy as mountain. used to have bunch of robot toys from korea and just stack them up into different units. then I come to Canada and see shit like transformer toys and other plastic blobs that were just colored a week ago in godforsaken chinese cancer factories. i pity the kids.

Awesome, it's super poseable, too. I've never understood why people buy those gay stiff models. What's the point if you can't play with them?

Guillermo del Toro calls Pacific Rim a family movie

The Mexican-born filmmaker says he thinks of it as a family movie, since he deliberately tried to create the kind of story that would have won him over at age 12.

...

Del Toro also said he refused to make a film that serves as a recruitment video for the military.

...

Del Toro calls this the "sweet heart" of his movie, which also avoids mass killing of people and harkens back to his childhood favourites such as Godzilla, where buildings and tanks are all that get crushed.

...

Heroic movie (from the video) and not dark/grim

Good, last thing I need is more nuggets taking up my flight time....

Hmm good point, HOWEVER, during the three years I was a recruiter (2008-2011) not ONE FUCKING TIME did some retard come in and reference Transformers as their spark of interest for joining. Blackhawk Down, The Hurtlocker, sure...maybe. But a scifi movie...really? Just showing the military in anything other than a poor way does not mean it's going to be a "recruitment video" for the military.

The messaging is subliminal.

man of steel is a pretty good illustration of military advertisements.
