What if there's a reason why the AI is GladOS? What if Aperture Labs helped develop the Jaegers?

Combustible lemons, man. Combustible lemons.

I want to make sweet love to this movie. I want to take the film it is printed on and sex the hell out of it, down by a crackling fire in a lavish hotel suite.

I just hope there's a scene where a monster gets rocket punched and it's skull explodes.

Maybe it's because I'm not a native speaker, but the name "GIPSY DANGER" really confuses me. Who had the idea to name a giant mecha something that sounds way too similar to "gypsy danger"? ?

Give me your tears.

If they were smart, they would just swap the robots around for localization in international markets. In each country, their own robot gets to be the hero!

The North Korean jaeger would be wholly insufficient to accomplish this task.

A Godzilla with elongated arms and elbow joints.

Red Dawn was the first ever PG-13 film, and indeed, Temple of Doom, Gremlins and Clash of the Titans were amongst the reasons why the rating was created.

Got ticket tonight for tomorrow's 10:00 PM IMAX 3D showing; gonna go early so i'm guaranteed the poster.

Grabbed two tickets for the 7:00 IMAX showing tonight. So loving pumped about robots punching monsters right now.

Don't forget about the apocalypse.

Rumor has it, it's being cancelled this evening.

Loved it. Ended up getting two posters (the guy in front of me, a goon, by chance, said he didn't want his).

I have come to the conclusion that at some point in the immediate future, I will require an expensive studio-approved, hand painted scaled model of Gipsy Danger and one of the kaiju.

Also, Charlie Day was great. All that was missing was a rat-bashing stick and some boiled denim.

Also, was I imagining things, or did the music take on just a hint of Russian anthem during shots of Cherno?

You're not imagining that. I got a very strong "Hunt for Red October motif" vibe during that scene.

I KNEW I had seen that English scientist guy before.

He was the guy who bought Bruce Wayne's fingerprints in TDKR.

The reason that the Jaegers start falling by the wayside is due to the fact that a poo poo ton more kaiju start showing up, more powerful and larger than ever before.

The reason that mechs like Cherno and Crimson have been around so long is because up until the events of this movie, they've been fighting category 1, 2 and 3 kaiju the whole war, and usually one at a time. Despite how powerful they are, they're no match for the massive influx of new kaiju that spit acid and shoot EMP bursts and are loving absurdly more gigantic, and have learned how to tag-team Jaegers all of a sudden (as a result of Charlie Day unintentionally giving them intel on how to kill Jaegers.)

The Russians have always been adept at building war machines.

And distilling vodka.

And that's about it.

Rinko Kikuchi is loving gorgeous and should start getting some love from moviemakers in this country.

Studios need to understand that Sandler's current films are nothing more than intricate Ponzi schemes for he and his close friends.

They needed him out of the way before he might get more info via drifting.

A kaiju found him in the bunker, and scoped him out, then left without killing him. If the kaiju bigwigs wanted him dead, that scene didn't make any sense.

Bongo Bill posted:

A lot of things in this movie are ambiguous. The reason the kaiju are attacking, for instance, is just speculation on the part of the characters.

No it's not. Newt figures out their motivations by drifting with their hive mind. The kaiju, according to the knowledge he obtained during the drift, are biological weapons used by an alien race to wipe out the population of a planet before the bigwigs show up and take it over.
