Free Mimobot of the Week: Darth Maul!
[Thank you, we have our winner! Congrats to faithful Macenstein reader Quintin!]
We’ve once again teamed up with our good friends over at Mimoco to bring you a feature we know everyone loves – The Free MIMOBOT of the week contest! In celebration of the release of Mimoco’s Series 4 Star Wars Mimobots, each week we’ll be offering you a chance to win a different 2 GB MIMOBOT from the series.
Remember how excited you were when you saw Darth Maul in the trailer?
This week we are giving away a super cool Darth Maul Mimobot. Yes, Darth Maul, pretty much the only redeemable thing we can take away from Episode One: The Phantom Menace. Remember how you almost crapped your pants when you saw Darth Maul’s double-bladed lightsaber? Well, you’re friends will definitely need a change of underwear when they see the Darth Maul mimobot’s butt light up red as you transfer files!
To Enter: OK, there’s no denying The Phantom Menace didn’t exactly live up to MY expectations (but then as a child of the 80’s, how could it?). So this week to enter, simply tell us what is the one movie in your life you have MOST looked forward to? It may or may not have lived up to your expectations, but thanks to clever trailer editing, everyone’s gotten excited about seeing a movie at some point or another. Winner will be picked randomly. Contest ends seven days from now and is open to all readers world-wide. Good luck!
Star Wars Return of the Jedi.
a bunch of us lined up a couple hours for the matinee premiere showing. but what we didn’t count on was that the theatre would be full of mostly little kids (it was the matinee, after all) screaming and cheering loudly EVERY time one of the main characters came on screen – we couldn’t hear any of the dialog during the movie.
Superman Returns. So-so..
National Tresure Part-Book of Secrets. I’m into the conspiracy stuff 😀
Casino Royale. the Return of cool bond…
when i was a kid, it was the pokemon movie… ahhahaa.. i remenber wanting to see that shit sooooo bad.. and i was a kid, and it was pokemon, so of course it lived up.. they could do whatever the fuck they wanted, as a kid i would have loved it…
I would have to say Lord of the Rings. After seeing a trailer and having to wait over a year to see it.
Iron Man
Since Star Wars Epi. I was the first one that I saw, I gotta say Epi. II was my most anticipated movie!
Toy Story
The New Star Trek when they was showing the Teasers
Lord of the Rings
Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy! So excited when that came out. It also didn’t turn out to be a complete disappointment.
Probably it is Lord of the Rings; Fellowship of the Ring. Read the books when younger, reread when older. This was such an epic tale and popular series I wanted it to be good so much. So many people got into the stories after seeing the first movie too. I think it was one of the best adaptations that could have been done. Still waiting for the Foundation series by Isaac Asimov to be done on the big screen.
Transformers!!!
Sex and the City – but I am a girl so please forgive me!
Barely legal 3.
That have to be The Lord of The Rings, all three movies!
Loved them all too.
Sphere.
An amazing book, great cast, horrid film.
Exorcist: Beginning. It was ok, didn’t quite live up to my expectations, but it was still good
the simpsons movie hahahaha
Watchmen. The comic was just so good. But then Snyder grabbed it and mutilated it. The new ending sucks even MORE than the one in the comic, but there were still parts than shined through, like Rorschach :3
The Darjeeling Limited (2007)
i’m a wes anderson fan and the trailers really inspired me. the movie actually prompted me to do some soul searching on my own. i still love the movie, and i’ll try to watch it once a year or so.
SpongeBob SquarePants: The Movie
Matrix
Tenacious D movie!
Star Wars I: The Phantom Menace
Perfume: The Story of a Murderer
I read the book a few months earlier (:
Wall-E!
The Phantom Menace. It was the first of the Prequel trilogy, we’re going to see Anakin when he’s still cute, and saw the awesome Darth Maul.
I must say Star Wars Ep. 1. I was a freshman in college and 20ish of us took turns sitting in line for a week during finals so we could all do our tests and final projects. We got all over the news and radio and got a ton of free shit as well. The theater even let us in 20 minutes early to pick our seats ahead of time.
Myself and 2 others who where in adv. freshman 3d animation bought an extra ticket and took our prof. on opening night, who’s class we skipped all week besides turing in our projects, he told us we were guaranteed C’s if we didn’t turn in a final animation project 😛 Good thing we had done A+ work ahead of time and passed with flying colors 😛
After a long struggle to get the film made his way, Spike Jonze’s Where the Wild Things Are.
Locker Room Towel Fights: The Blinding of Larry Driscoll
Star Trek (2009)
Gran Torino!
3001 A Space Odyssey
Oh, wait…
Jurassic Park
Probably Star Trek. The first movie definitely didn’t live up to my expectations, but I couldn’t wait to see it.
The Phantom Menace for sure. Especially as I was working on it.
Wolverine
Maybe National Lampoon’s Vacation, ’cause I heard Christie Brinkley was naked in it, and I was a horny young teenager…
Chocolate
A Thai martial arts action film whose main character is an autistic 17 year old girl that learns to fight for her ill mother with cancer against a mob boss who is obsessed with her.
The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King
Star Trek: The motion picture.
I guess that dates me!
Any of the Star Wars !!! I’m still looking forward for another in the series … I hope George Lucas is still thinking of making some more … pls … pls … pls … Mr. Lucas … if U see this … make some more movies of Star Wars !!!
Tie between “Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith” & “Watchmen.” I was looking forward to finally seeing the fight between Anakin and Obi-Wan in “Sith” and am a huge fan of the “Watchmen” graphic novel.
SW EP I: The Phantom menace
After classic Star Wars Trilogy we were expecting something really big… It was it?…..
I think its UP
I really looked forward to Transformers. Too bad the movie didn’t keep the integrity of the cartoon series by making Megatron a gun.
star wars, episode 1
The Mummy 2
