I've not seen it yet, but from what I'm hearing it's definitely demo material, especially on the audio side.

I may end up getting Tron: Legacy for the audio, but the movie itself underwhelmed me.
I've been watching the fifth and final season of Friday Night Lights. I think I have one episode left. Truly one of the great TV dramas.

Just found a $5 off coupon for TRON, so think I'll pick it up today - my son wants the movie anyway, so I'll use him as my excuse! I'll let y'all know if there's any really noteworthy scenes in there for demo material.

Last night I watched Your Highness with my friend, Jen. This afternoon, I'm watching it again with my friend, Tiana. I kind of told them both how I wanted to see it, so now I get two viewings. While the movie isn't the greatest ever, I enjoyed it enough to be going again, so that's good. I think Danny McBride just needs to find the right person to smooth out his writing a bit, and maybe another director would have been better suited to the task. Still, I look forward to any future Danny McBride projects. Ha ha.

take scantily-clad, generally full-figured female characters from a variety of fantasy backgrounds and put them through their paces in a fantasy RPG-styled setting that is a mix of classic Western and Eastern fantasy elements, with every opportunity for fan service exploited along the way.
http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/review/queen-blade/the-exiled-virgin/dvd-2And what do you have . . . “Queen’s Blade,” a three disk 12 half hour episode anime about as close to hentai as you can get without actually being there. Available on Netflix as an instant watch. Ok previously my best pick for gratuitous fanservice was “Misaki Chronicles” but this one slays it. I won’t bore you with the details since the review above just about covers it all, certainly covers more than the characters clothes. But like the review I found that this was actually a very good series and give it a 4 out of 5. However, if you are offended by the gratuitous display of massive (in some cases massively massive) mammaries battling each other then give this one a pass.

Dean, you and CV have got me back onto an anime kick. I just recently purchased the first season of Fullmetal Alchemist and am thoroughly enjoying it so far. Still only one the second disk, but it's a very compelling series.
Also, picked up the reworked Evangelion: 1.11, but have yet to watch it.
Ha ha, I'll have to add Queen's Blade to my Netflix queue.

Glad to see we’ve turned you to the dark side. Did you get the new version of FMA or the old one. I’ve watched the first few episodes of the new one on the Funimation Channel on YouTube but that’s all they have in English dubs right now so I’m waiting on the rest to come out. I liked the original series and the second one seems just as good from what little I’ve seen.
Never liked Evangelion myself. I gave 1.11 a try by renting the Blu-ray but I liked it even less than the original. Just to much angst in the main character for my taste, even in the original.
They’ve finally laid fiber optic cables in my neighborhood so I’m upgrading my internet connection which means I’ll be watching even more online stuff finally, even in HD, though for animation SD isn’t so bad.
Let me know if you want to watch anything I have. I probably have at least 100 full titles right now, if not more.

It's the old version I got. Once I get through it I want to check out the new version. It's Brotherhood, right? I caught a review of it, I think, on Anime News Network and decided to start from the beginning. Dean, let's do another GTG! It's been too long. Watching movies on my little TV just doesn't cut it. ![laugh laugh](/boards/images/graemlins/default/laugh.gif)

Sounds good to me. I might be free this Friday if that works for you, and the Friday after that for sure. I should know in a couple days at the most if I’ll be off this Friday.
