    Glad to see that this thread is still going strong.

    Interest Indiana Jones raiders pocket knife

    As probably one of the last people in the world who managed to buy a Linder after the factory shut down, I will say this thread is likely right on the money. The knife from the movie does not match the Linder, and matches the Hubertus even less. I'm happy with the Linder, at the moment it's the...

    Your Indiana Jones Displays - Lets see 'em

    Considering the UK is the place to get the Bapty, he could've bought a regular vintage gun. If it was an actual gun from the movie that was in working condition, it's a shame regardless of whether it was going to be fired ever again or not. But yeah, that one in particular made me forget about...

    Your Indiana Jones Displays - Lets see 'em

    Always loved your display. The desk idea is very unique. But you do have enough stuff to fill a whole room! I briefly entertained the idea of having the guns myself (at least the Webley and the S&W, being the story-relevant ones) but again, they don't really fit and where I live even owning a...

    Jurassic Park kitchen scene with scientifically accurate raptors.

    They probably did look just like birds. That first picture looks like a real animal to me, the second one not so much. All in all, I suppose we were lucky Michael Crichton came up with Jurassic Park exactly when he did, right before the advent of CGI, and with Spielberg able and ready, mere...

    Your Indiana Jones Displays - Lets see 'em

    I recently finished organizing all my Indy props together for the first time ever after years of collecting, as part of a new home office, so I figured why not share it here and join everyone else. A while back I started giving myself some rules so this wouldn't get out of hand, and I think...

    Jurassic Park kitchen scene with scientifically accurate raptors.

    The head looks good. Not enough of the body is seen to judge that. But looks like all feathers are a similar size and placed in a roughly uniform way over the body, following the underlying shape closely, which is common in paleo-art and doesn't look right to me considering how dramatically the...

    Jurassic Park kitchen scene with scientifically accurate raptors.

    To be fair, I don't really agree with movie fan optics trying to rationalize the Jurassic Park dinosaurs within modern scientific perspective. I think it's pretty clear the intent was to suggest the dinosaurs in the park looked just like the real ones did, regardless of how they came to be. That...

    Jurassic Park kitchen scene with scientifically accurate raptors.

    That was really well done. That said, there's still something that feels off about feathered dinosaurs no matter how you try to design them, though. I think the problem starts with paleo-art from science books itself, to be honest. When you look at a bald eagle in real life, it looks imposing...

    Problematic issues with iconic film stories

    People have already mentioned Spielberg's current take on this since you posted it, but I once had the chance to ask Richard Dreyfuss about it as well, and he said the same thing: they weren't parents when they made that movie. I think it's not just that he abandons his family following his...

    The Video Game Thread - anything and everything...

    I finished the game earlier this week and, while I agree with some of the things you said, I disagree with most of the others. I'm gonna copy here my impressions from the COW, which I think are a fair review where I don't try to oversell the game in any way: It is a solid game, not quite a...

    Your Indiana Jones Displays - Lets see 'em

    I second this. I have several of my paper props framed and everything else on shelves. I'd invest in cabinets to keep all that stuff protected and to enhance the display. You have lots of very high quality props quite exposed at the moment.

    Your Indiana Jones Displays - Lets see 'em

    You found the siphon! In terms of overall quality of the items, total number and specific props chosen from each film yours is one of the best and most complete Indy collections I've seen anywhere, but you already know that. Outside of Dragone Andreas, you might even be Europe's best really. At...

    The Last of Us HBO Joel Thread

    Considering the costume designer was confirming brands and models while Season 1 was still airing and a lot of us still managed to get our hands on pretty much everything, I'm confident Season 2 will at least be similar.

    The Last of Us HBO Joel Thread

    Just dropping by here cause I assumed people were probably already IDing Joel's clothes from the new trailer and I was not disappointed. Yeah but the darkened dye over the chest pockets is not there and I'd sure love my shirt to have that removed too.
