If I could've made a costume, either Skull Warrior or Kulta. But I didn't do anything for Halloween besides watch Jurassic World 3D and play Nazi Zombies...also in 3D. Maybe next year if I get invited to a Halloween party, I'll make a costume of whatever the villains are next year.

Watched the Back to the Future trilogy recently, then Paranormal Activity 1-4 with my best friend, then Jurassic World 3D yesterday. BttF is a great trilogy, and gosh I love Jurassic World so much...will definitely be watching again soon!

Played some Nazi Zombies with my best friend over the past 2 days. I don't own World at War, but have all the DLC for Black Ops so I thankfully have those maps. We played Nacht Der Untoten and Der Riese in 3D. Didn't do too great on Nacht or Shi No Numa, but had good runs on Verruckt and Der Riese! We've decided to play all the original Zombies maps in order to get ready for Black Ops III, really excited for the Der Riese remake, The Giant! Shadows of Evil looks good as well.

Tahu's got a new favorite Shinedown song...Hau Did You Love.

There is 5.1 available via the DVDs, it's just poorly done in my opinion. Dialogue is shamelessly scattered to the rear channels for even the most mundane of scenes. (The 5.1 mix is where I got the audio for my Bionicle film soundtracks). Even if they were to remix, one of the issues is that Furst lost at least one of the film scores in a hard drive crash (LoMN). I suppose someone has a copy somewhere from when the films were being produced, but I'm always very scared that those scores will never see the light of day again. As for your 4K comments... no one has a 4K TV right now. Even if they had $25,000 to spare on a 4K TV, there's very little content being distributed to the public in 4K, with none of the methods being terribly effective. Not even theaters display at that high a resolution. Sony has "Mastered in 4K" Blu-rays that they're trying to promote, but all that means is the bitrate is a little higher than usual. Nothing to get excited about. There are places where you can get movie trailers in ProRes format (220 MBPS) and I'm sure those would look fine on a 4K TV... but 4K is overkill in my opinion. People watch movies on their tiny, awful phones and with terrible earbuds; only the film geeks care for these sorts of technological advances. Companies tend to pander to the common man, not the geeks. The scenes that could look good in quality 3D would be the Kohlii match and Vakama's visions. The latter could be made to look exceptionally weird in terms of depth, and I love weird in my films. Oh, there is 5.1 on the DVDs? I haven't watched 'em in ages, lol. As for 4K, Sony's "Mastered in 4K" Blu-Rays actually have expanded color as well, but nothing as fancy as the actual UHD Blu-Rays. Granted, I'm honestly not too concerned with 4K, 3D is the higher priority for me, and it seems getting both in the same package won't be easy, if at all possible. Once there's 3D UHD Blu-Rays, then I'll invest in the technology. As is, I agree that it's overkill. Shame Furst lost one of the score pieces in a hard drive crash...perhaps they could replicate it somehow, I hope. The Kohlii match would perhaps look interesting in 3D, as would some of the Rahkshi visuals. But overall, I'd agree that Vakama's vision sequences would look best for that weird trippiness that Alice in Wonderland 3D achieved. Web of Shadows, in my opinion, would be the overall best, being able to utilize depth, popouts, and some of that trippiness if it were converted.

So what if the films weren't made with 3D in mind? That didn't stop Titanic, Predator, Cars, and Jurassic Park from getting 3D remasters. Yeah. And they were all pointless. Not really. Jurassic Park has a good 3D conversion. Plus its 3D release helped prove that there was plenty of demand for more films. Titanic 3D was for the 100th anniversary of the sinking. Cars 3D...well, back when Disney actually supported 3D, they just liked doing ultimate collectors' editions. Predator 3D is the only one I guess you could say was pointless. I find the 3D adds the most in Titanic and Jurassic Park, providing a great sense of depth, and helping show just how big the ship/dinosaurs are. A 3D conversion for LoMN or WoS would be used to show the size of Metru Nui or Keetongu or the ships used in The Great Rescue. If it's done right and adds depth, it's not pointless. If it's not done right, then it is pointless. Also, not being a fan of something does not make it pointless. I'm no fan of eBooks...does that mean they're pointless? No, it doesn't.

Bwhahahahaha, no kidding. Lets please the fanboys by bringing back the most tragic death of G1, connect G1 together with G2 and then WAIT! Plot twist, Matoro is the big bad, he is Kulta, no better yet; he is the Mask of Ultimate Control. And then, Matoro kills Pohatu... Cruelest fan service, EVER. Where did that come from?Well, somebody has to die! In this wise words of Avenged Sevenfold... "Everybody's gotta die sometime!"

Clearly you haven't seen Resident Evil Afterlife, Avatar, Coraline, Resident Evil Retribution or Pacific Rim in 3D if you think 3D doesn't add any value. If you've seen Insurgent in 3D...well that I understand. I don't consider myself easily distracted... but I find popouts very distracting, and not what 3D should be used for. If 3D is to be utilized, it should be used minimally but effectively to give a greater sense of visual depth to the film. Not for popouts. Trust me, the lack of a 3D release is not the reason no one saw FF. I wonder if LEGO - or Miramax - still has the original 3D animation files for the films, as well as the version of the program they are compatible with. They could just re-render, no remaster required. Easy! There was one LoMN image BZPower received back in the day that seemed to have been taken straight from the editing room: an HD screencap. But these were low-profile DTVs for a toyline. I have to wonder if the proper archival steps were taken for the trilogy, and if the final cut of the film is all that remains. Would they even still have the audio stems? Regarding the sound mix - interestingly enough, when the films were put up on Netflix, they were provided with a stereo mix only. No 5.1 surround. I doubt that really means anything, but it's possible Miramax isn't totally aware of the specs of the content they own. And TLR already is in HD, it doesn't need a remaster of any sort. It just never hit Blu-ray. iTunes, Netflix, etc. have it in high definition. Looks pretty crisp. Popouts are only obnoxious if they're overdone. I like a few popouts, as long as they're not too "in your face". I generally prefer depth as well. Oh yeah, lack of 3D wasn't THE reason people didn't see Fantastic Four, but it certainly made it worse. TLR could get a 4K remaster, but just a normal Blu-Ray is fine with me. The original trilogy with an HD remaster on Blu-Ray would be amazing as well. As for sound mix...well, sounds like they could use a new mix if there's no 5.1 available. I'd actually agree that Mask of Light isn't the best one for a 3D remaster. Web of Shadows or LoMN are the best candidates, IMO. Granted, I could see it working for TLR. So what if the films weren't made with 3D in mind? That didn't stop Titanic, Predator, Cars, and Jurassic Park from getting 3D remasters.

Anyone who says 3D is a pointless, expensive gimmick doesn't fully understand the format. Granted, it's understandable many would see it as such, given that most studios just kinda half-a the execution of it in a movie. Not all movies have high-quality 3D because studios either don't care to put that much effort, or don't have the money, or both. Many people who say it doesn't add anything are either just complaining about the lack of pop-outs, or have too poor of depth perception to notice the added depth...or are watching a poor example of 3D, such as Insurgent, which is pretty much the most lackluster 3D I've ever seen. Anyone who finds it distracting from the story is distracted too easily. To the person who said Fox not releasing Fantastic Four in 3D was a good thing, I'm saying that it wasn't a good thing. I saw plenty of people say they decided not to see it when they heard the 3D release was cancelled. It would've fared better with 3D. When done right, 3D can add to a film. Coraline, Alice in Wonderland, Resident Evil Afterlife, Resident Evil Retribution, and Avatar are good examples of 3D done right. I'd say yes, but mainly for Web of Shadows. It's the one I can see benefiting most from a well-done conversion. Granted, an HD remaster of all the movies is in order. A 3D release of any would guarantee an HD remaster, since that would be required prior to conversion. An updated sound mix would also be highly likely. If any of these films would be likely to get the 3D treatment, it's probably either Mask of Light or The Legend Reborn. Also, any new Bionicle film produced is likely to get the 3D treatment, especially given the success of the Lego Movie 3D...which I still haven't seen, sadly.

In G1, Teridax never really died...his soul was sent to an alternate universe, where he became Kulta. #BigReveal

I hear that whoever wears the Rodes becomes and Avenger.

Or Kulta is part of an evil corporation? Perhaps G2 exists in the same universe as Resident Evil, and Umbrella "accidentally" dropped some T-virus onto Okoto? Or Kulta was a former employee? Hmm...fanfic time. The physics here are different than G1 physics. Or perhaps Kulta is skilled in voodoo. The story did mention something about dark magic reanimating the dead, correct?

Currently being built in New Jersey, last I checked. I'm amazed how quickly this has taken off. Pretty awesome that it got on the front page, too. Don't forget the Pohatu High-Speed Railway connecting Los Angeles to Seattle. I Googled both of these - they don't exist. That's what the government wants you to think. #IlluminatiConfirmed I agree, "Bionicle Nebula" is definitely more iconic and recognizable. But perhaps one of the stars in this nebula could be named Solis Magna? That makes everyone happy! ...Right?

Fred Tatasciore? Steve Blum? Might as well bring in Nolan North and...whoever voices Takeo so we have the complete CoD Zombies voice cast, lol. Jeremy Renner as Kopaka is an interesting choice...

signed, signed, and double-signed. send it to Obama at once. Ekimu help us... signed, signed, and double-signed. send it to Obama at once. With the discovery of (the likelihood of) water on Mars, there's talk of colonization. What better way to perform recon than Mata Nui? Umm...Iron Man? Can't cause planetwide destruction or an internal cataclysm if he crashes. Or Optimus Prime.

We're just asking for a nebula that has enough resemblance that it makes sense, we're not asking for anything crazy like changing a country's name or flag, so calm down. A lot of objects in space have odd names anyways, and I'm pretty sure some have been named after fictional things. No one is taking anything too far. If someone sends a petition to get the U.S. government to construct a giant robot, then I'd be concerned...

CoD: Ghosts Extinction mode. First time playing it in like a year, so a bit rusty, but definitely enjoying playing it again!

I've got Predator in 3D, it's a nice remaster. But the film is a bit slow. Arnold is honestly the best part of it, lol. Last thing I watched was Prometheus 3D with my best friend. We'd watched all the Alien movies prior to that. Alien: Resurrection is forgettable. Enjoyable, but definitely not necessary. Alien 3 feels like the perfect ending to the series.

Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter 3D with my girlfriend last night. Since the book got a sequel, I gotta wonder if we'll get a second movie. Hoping so.

So far, I haven't seen anyone else mention Jason Statham, Dylan O'Brien, or Pauley Perrette...and yeah, Jennifer Lawrence is far too busy with other things right now. Although she's done with Hunger Games and will soon be done with X-Men, so ya never know.
