All Points Bulletin: Up with Frankenweenie!

May 20, 2012

If you have any suggestions for what to highlight on an APB drop us a line via email or Twitter.

Hisui’s picks:

Narutaki’s picks:

  • Tiger & Bunny Popples!
    At least that’s all I could think when I saw these “transforming” plushies. And if you don’t know what a Popple is, lame.
  • The Unsophisticated Frankenweenie
    An interview with Tim Burton about the production of the new animated version of Frankenweenie. What was most interesting was how he wanted the puppets to be less sleek because the Corpse Bride ended up looking like CG instead of stop-motion. I can totally see what he means, there is a charm to the roughness of his designs and their 3D counterparts.
  • Customize Your Droid
    Walt Disney World is opening a Star Wars droid factory in their Hollywood Studios Park. There are a ton of options. I’m looking forward to doing this in the fall.

I usually put fan art here but I could not resists using this:

All Points Bulletin: SPOILERS: Ataru Loves Lum

March 18, 2012

Narutaki’s picks:

  • Marvel Movie Marathon
    AMC’s has been coming up with all kinds of interesting marathons to get people back in the theaters. This latest one is five Marvel movies leading up to the midnight premiere of Avengers. Six movies for $40 is a pretty good deal!
  • Finally. A Shiuzo Figure.
    They have been teasing this coming out for a while, but now there is an actual physical figure to see. It will be mine!
  • Spoiler Etiquette
    Via College Humor. I especially liked the part where . . . nevermind just watch!
  • A Kiss is Just a Kiss
    Except when people can only see it as a political statement.

Hisui’s picks:

Nothing reenforces her iconic status like saying that she can still sell anything 34 years later.

All Points Bulletin: Totally Tubular Space Pirates

February 19, 2012

If you have any suggestions for what to highlight on an APB drop us a line via email or Twitter.

Narutaki’s picks:

  • The Best Valentines in Westeros
    Series’s with totally f-ed up relationships make for hilarious Valentines cards.
  • Posters for New Dreamworks’ Films The Guardians and The Croods
    …look terrible. And as someone pointed out, the Dreamworks smirk has been taken to new heights as every character in The Guardians is doing it. I’m not saying they will actually be terrible movies, for one thing Chris Sanders is working on The Croods, but these first looks inspire no confidence what so ever.
  • Impressive Detective Work on the Comics Piracy Front
    Thanks to an eye for details, a leak in Marvel’s process has been filled thus stopping pirates from releasing comics early on to the web. Which of course spirals into an anti-piracy debate on various sites that reported on it.
  • Can You Apply Women in Refrigerators to Manga?
    Ogiue Maniax lays out some ideas on the subject and the various ways you may have to tweak the ideas of Women in Refrigerators to do so.

Hisui’s picks:

From The Song of Ice and Fire, I won’t say more because spoilers:

Building a Golden AGE

February 8, 2012

SPOILERS FOR GUNDAM AGE EPS. 1-15

Now that the next generation of Gundam AGE has started I think Bandai has the ability to really build on what they started in the first third of the series. I know that there are still people complaining about this being baby Gundam and that accusation will never go away. In fact we did a whole article on how much of that statement is true and how much of it is the normal Gundam complaining. But I think they have a golden opportunity to add a little complexity to AGE to bring in otaku who had dismissed the show while not alienating the existing fan base. Here is my list of the top 5 things I would like to see out of the part two of Gundam AGE:
