Pacific Rim Rocks, Godzilla and Friends on Steroids
I have no idea what the early pressers were talking about but Pacific Rim is awesome.
This is no "War and Peace" folks, there is little to no character development, but this is not a movie about characters. Hence the ending. This is a completely new franchise not limited by toy sales, existing universe or beloved characters that cannot die. This is pure awesome in a film can.
This is a movie about gigantic monsters climbing up from the bottom of the ocean and stomping the major cities and population centers along the Pacific rim. Forget the laws of physics, military tactics or wormhole mechanics. This is a movie that has baby godzillas, space ticks, blue plasma acid blood, space EMPs, nuclear powered giant battle mechs and the latest in deep sea escape pod technology. This is 1950s Godzilla, 1960s Ultraman, 1970s Hulk and 1980s Robotech all rolled into one giant Burrito of clobbering time in the Octagon formerly known as Hong Kong. This is the ultimate homage to all things fanboy, anime, Kaiju, and GI Joe cartoons.
GO SEE THIS MOVIE NOW IN A THEATER!!!! Pacific Rim is fully deserving of a watch while wrapped in the full glory of its IMAX HD CGI with a massive sub woofer.

Features Of A Pistol Display Stand
The usual pistol display stand can accommodate several weapons in a case or it can be just one gun, which is often mounted on a post that can be vertically adjusted. Clamps usually hold the gun barrel in place and the stand should include a number of security features to deter its removal.
The handgun display unit is specifically suitable for showcasing at events, including exhibitions and fairs. The invention was also designed to be used by individuals in the home as well as by dealers and collectors, either at gun shows or in retail stores.
Over the years, dealers haven't always been so concerned about securing their weapons. In the past they have kept guns on counter tops and on shelves, making them easy to pick up and steal. Eventually they understood that they were selling a valuable product and took steps to make sure it they were better presented and more secure.
Weapons have in the past had been displayed by dealers in gun holding trays, which were created to house and retain several guns, with particular emphasis on pistols and revolvers. These trays were designed to store two guns, which were stored in such a position that the barrels were sitting opposite each other, one gun the right way round and the other upside down, to save space.
When stands were created this gave rise to the potential for multiples of weapons to be stored as well as guns of different sizes. The units invariably had slots which supported the trigger. However, many of these displays were insecure and not much of a deterrent against theft. Nowadays the more valuable weapons are apt to be kept behind counters.
The base of an upright unit has to be large enough to support the weight of either one or several guns. Convention dictates that they are made from either wood, plastic or from metal and are in the shape of a rectangle. Ideally, a unit would be adjustable, so that once a weapon has been sold, firearms of different dimensions can be displayed in their place.
Of the utmost importance is that the assembly housing the handgun be able to hold onto the barrel and keep it in an elevated position. This absolutely has to be done in a secure manner that makes withdrawing the product from the unit very hard to do. Added security features can also be added, such as adding a cable that is tied around the upright unit, which not only secures the unit to whatever it is attached to but discourages removal of it as a whole.
The bottom line is that choosing a pistol display stand comes down to more than just price. Security is one of the most important considerations because if the stand is easy to steal or easy for children to get into, then it is not doing its job. Another, some would say secondary, consideration are the aesthetics of the case. Going for a unit made of metal, wood or plastic could come down to personal preference or could depend on what material fits in with the decor of the home, office, dealership or wherever the weapons are stored.
