Will you cry for a Kaiju?/ Allez-vous pleurer pour un Kaiju?

Quand on voit le trailer, on se dit que les kaijus sont des monstres horribles à éliminer rapidement. Cependant, c'est mal connaître GDT, et sa propension à nous faire aimer les monstres...Serez-vous touchés par les kaijus?

When we see the trailer, we think that kaijus are horrible monster...But GDT is well known to make us love monster. Will you be touched by Kaiju's fates?

Glados voice is a tribute to portal



Sorry, I was on vacation...GDT explained why he uses Glados voice (Ellen McLain) in Pacific Rim: "I wanted very much to have her, because I'm a big Portal fan," del Toro said. "But just as a wink. She's not cake-obsessed." The final voice will be slightly different, less computer processed, but Guillermo Del Toro has Valve's authorization to use Glados voice.

Pacific Rim is a rip-off? Really?

On voit beaucoup de posts sur les forums disant "Pacific Rim est une copie", "Transformers vs Godzilla", "Robot Jox"...Pacific Rim étant un film de Robots Géants contre des Monstres Géants, il y a forcément plus ou moins de connexions. Mais Pacific Rim est un film original, un hommage pour sûr, mais très différent. Voyons pourquoi...

We see a lot of posts in forum saying "Pacific Rim is a rip-off", "Transformers Vs Godzilla", "Evangelion", "Robot Jox"...Well, for sure, Pacific Rim, being a Giant Robots vs Giant Monsters movie, have more or less connections with this anime/movies. But Pacific Rim is an original movie, an homage for sure, but very different. Let's explain why...
