I spotted this last sunday, after a nice bout of binge eating & drinking with the missus at one of our favorite buffet restaurants by Loushanguan station. Meters/bonwe is apparently at the forefront for Transformers apparel, and their designers created a couple dozen designs. Another can be seen on their taobao page (click on the image to see it more close up).
But wait… who’s General Grievous?
Star Wars' General Grievous
One of the cooler villains from Star Wars: Attack of the Clones is all. Wielding not one, but FOUR lightsabers is pretty badass in my humble opinion. Anyways, enough with the geekdom.
General Grievous a Transformer? You be the judge.
Is there a new Transformer that just happens to be a distant cousin of Grievous? Guess we’ll find out when the movie is out on DVD (this week Shanghai-time).
Shanghaiist yesterday posted this fantastic little clip on their site, and the first thing I thought was… Swiss James NEEDS to see this. So, James… enjoy!
One, it’s the fucking Sea of Japan, not the Sea of Korea.
Two, The map was published in China. If they see fit to call it the Sea of Japan, argue with them, not me.
Three, it’s a fucking map. I don’t give a rat’s ass. World opinion doesn’t always go with China or America either. Get used to it.
Four, when the kid’s got ADHD, he can’t fucking help it. I’m not punishing him for something he can’t control. Trust me. I know from 3 years of Ritalin enduced experience.
There’s a bit of information floating around now regarding the new Star Trek movie, slated for December 25th of this year. At the official movie site, the trailer, currently showing with “Cloverleaf” is now up on the site, and will soon be available for iPhone & iTunes.
Also, a bit of “Viral Marketing” happening at http://www.ncc-1701.com. Currently it shows 3 out of 4 working cameras, showing the construction of the Enterprise.
I’m not one for Star Trek fansites or message boards, but some of the reactions I’ve read to the viral site suggests that some die hard trekkies are already hating the movie. “They show welding. Why don’t we call it, Star Trek: The Welding Frontier” or “3 out of 4 broken cameras. Terrible.” Someone seems to think they’re real cameras apparently. This I don’t understand. They wish death upon something they don’t even have a clue about. Why?
I can see a trend on the viral Star Trek site. For the next several months, on ncc-1701.com we’ll see the U.S.S. Enterprise slowly being built during the next year or so, and a final completion on or around Christmas. Perhaps during summer, they’ll be working on the warp nacelles or deflector dish. Perhaps launching sections into space for more assembly. After all, it’s meant to be viral marketing, right? Certainly can’t have welders there for the entire year.
I’ll post more as I learn it. Hopefully, Paramount accepts my app as “press” and sends me more details to release to the general public!
