Cool! I want a drive-in living room (or whatever it is).

Makes me want a shiney black 8, but where I live, it'd be shiney for about 15 seconds.

Edit - I guess its exiting a garage, my bad. Well, I still want a drive in living room. :D

neuthang · 08-22-2002, 03:19 PM

It looks blue to me.

Wow 15 seconds?

I really like the flat paint they use for military hummers. I wonder why no one does that. (or i guess I just don't see it).

You are correct, it is blue... I don' think that blue will be available from the factory...

Grimace · 08-22-2002, 03:25 PM

Wow. Thats a dark blue! (Or I should change my monitor settings). Anyway, if that blue was available from the factory, I'd seriously consider it. My next car can't be another "arrest me" colour.

PatrickB · 08-22-2002, 03:58 PM

Let me agree on the dark blue, too. I'd buy it. Please Mazda, give us dark blue!

KayakDaddy · 08-22-2002, 04:05 PM

Is there somewhere online I can stream or download the whole X-men trailer. I'd like to see the car in action. I didn't even know a sequel was coming out, was the first one any good?

I really really really want the dark blue color to be available. You've probably seen my Photoshop request in the pictures section of this forum for a dark blue one similar to the blue that BMW uses for their M5’s, etc. I set the reply to that request as my wallpaper for a few weeks. I want one just like that (thanks Mach) Blue is a good color because it is not as boring as white or silver, not as “hey, pull me over” or feels awkward in a funeral procession as red or yellow, and it’s not as hard to keep clean as black.

kayakdaddy just click on the link to rotarynews.com in the post with the pics and from there you can get to the whole trailer.

One last thing, I did notice that in the trailer, the engine sound isn't correct, as usual Hollywood butchers the sweet sound of the rotary!

hey rotarynews. how does someone come to that conclusion, since noone that ive heard of has a sound recording of this car running. could it be that due to the new porting,cats and exhaust that this 250bhp na engine does sound like that. you can only hear it for about a second and it sounds pretty good to my untrained ears.
also i doubt there will be any weaponry in that car, wolverine is all the weapon he needs

Awwww it's quicktime... quicktime SUCKS!

BlueAdept · 08-22-2002, 04:51 PM

They's rigged it so you can't post the direct URL, but I guess you could look at the source code for the page with the java player... I think it's ALSO rigged to stop you from downloading it to anything other than their java player becaause I got a few seconds and then it cut off...

Sad!

Yes, quicktime does suck... but I actually have it working better on my Linux boxes with Wine than on my solo W2K M$ box. (on the windows box, I have to reboot after watching a clip, since all the icons and menu text turn to complete garbage...)

I'll see if I can convert it to a DIVX format or Mpeg... hum..........

BlueAdept · 08-22-2002, 04:59 PM

That would be cool, post a link to the DIVX on here... or upload it on my FTP server and I'll leave it there for others.

Copy each of the 5 lines and paste them together...

BlueAdept · 08-23-2002, 12:51 AM

I think you'll find that those long random numbers are because the links are 1 time downloads... I got those URL's too...

zoom44 · 08-23-2002, 03:22 PM

i think i've the the trailer downloading now. i'll let you know when its done.

oops wrong one i'll try again :o

Aeterna · 08-29-2002, 03:49 PM

I keep trying the Apple Quicktime website, the links, EVERYTHING and I can't get the trailer to play. All it does is lock up/slow down my computer and eventually never responds...

Am I doing something wrong or is the website URL or (maybe the producer's server are purposely) doing this?

I want to see!!!

zoom44 · 08-29-2002, 03:53 PM

they shut down the page with the trailer as far as i can tell.its not even on the official movie site now. i'm trying to find someone who ripped it before they closed it down but so far no luck

i will let everbody know if/when i find it.
