The graphics were good, the action was good, the plot was good, the acting was better than good - but I still felt it was lacking something, and I came away feeling unfulfilled.<BR/><BR/>Maybe it was just hyped up so much. Hellboy 2 on the other hand - I had no good expectations, the last film wasn't great - but I enjoyed it a lot more, probably because it was better than I was expecting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16623482.post-28913124097571205092008-07-22T12:28:00.000+01:002008-07-22T12:28:00.000+01:00I actually can't wait too see the new Batman film....I actually can't wait too see the new Batman film.

Completely boss. the news about the Bequin triology is great, so great in fact it compelled me to read the Eisenhorn and Ravenor series over again.<BR/><BR/>I have been reading the blog for a while, but i didn't post, in your interview you sounded very inviting, so i thought i would ask a couple of questions.<BR/><BR/>Listening to you speak got me thinking.

They'd be such a rare occurance that the mere sight of them would probably be met with awe, and warranting their full title. Marines seems like more of a slang term. <BR/><BR/>How about S.E.A.L.s?

The chair is definitely the high end of Imperial tech, plus with R's background with the Eldar there was the suggestion that it might be just a touch Xenos.<BR/><BR/>My image of it is therefore very similar to Big's, but perhaps a bit more curvilinear, reflecting Eldar influence (tho not looking as though it was built by them) It should have a fairly featureless surface, no more than a few panel lines and raised blisters housing equipment (such as the psycannon)Dukeletohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14128661146578810674noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16623482.post-40023761110697003502008-07-17T16:53:00.000+01:002008-07-17T16:53:00.000+01:00I always saw it as being longer and sleeker than a...I always saw it as being longer and sleeker than a standard wheelchair, because though Ravvie "sits" in it, I see it more as the position one is in when sitting in a dentist's chair.Rob Rathhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18190321709283384722noreply@blogger.com
