    I actually have 4200+ posts on this forum, plus 2,800+ posts on the old MW forum, which gives me a combined total of over 7,000 posts. Ain't too many members can say they post that much. And where's the fun in posting if I can't offend people every now and then? Graham

    Anybody know what pistol Farrel's Crocket is going to be carrying? I've tried searching online for pics and info, but so far have drawn a blank. I doubt it will still be TV Crocket's S&W 4506 from season 5, as they are ourt of production, but it better be something big and stainless and carried in a horizontal shoulder rig. My suggestions would be either a .45 SIG P220 stainless or a .45 S&W 945 5", which would carry on the tradition nicely as TV Crocket used S&W .45 autos for 4 out of 5 seasons. The 945 is not a typical cop gun either, so would be good for undercover work. One of the new stainless S&W 1911s would also do, although I'm not a huge fan of 1911 type pistols. Graham

    Same here. Mann should either call the movie something else, or still call it Miami Vice, but do not call the main characters 'Crocket & Tubbs'. Create all new characters instead and perhaps as a nice shoutout to the original, have a scene mentioning that Crocket and Tubbs were these two cops that worked Vice back in the '80s. IMO, classic '80s rap is still mostly listenable to, unlike what they pass off as music these days (heh, sounds like I'm turning into my old man). Graham

    Yes, to pastels and Phil Collins. Who is Jay Z? I'm guessing he's a rap singer? Never heard of him myself. Rap is not my cup of tea and thankfully, it's not popular in this part of the world and rarely plays on the radio or TV here. Graham

    Pitt/Smith would have been a disaster. I like Pitt alot, but he is NOT Crockett. Will Smith's problem is that he plays Will Smith in every movie. As far as I am concerned, I have no interest in seeing anything else he does at this point. 352403[/snapback] Definitely would have prefered Pitt to Farrel as Crocket, but Will Smith is a definite no no for Tubbs. Problem is that Crocket and Tubbs are such iconic characters and Don Johnson and Philip Michael Thomas so nailed the parts, it's very difficult to imagine any of today's current crop of actors fillling their shoes.

    Ah, didn't notice that the link to Hedge Knight was for a graphic novel version. Well spotted WDC. In that case I won't buy it I think. The art book does look nice though. Graham

    Seems like the region 1 BSG - season 2 DVD set containing the first 10 episodes from season 2 has been released already. That sort of crept in under the radar (or should I say Dradis ). I'd heard no news about it previously. As much as I want to own the series on DVD, I'm in two minds about buying this box set, as it only contains the 10 episodes aired so far, when we all know that eventually, they will release a complete season 2 set, which will probably be cheaper than buying this half set and the other half set I'm sure they will release next year.

    Just finished 'A Game of Thrones' last night. Awesome book. As luck would have it, 'A Clash of Kings', 'A Storm of Swords 1 & 2' just arrived today from Amazon.....yay! However, I've already started reading Murakami's latest book 'Kafka of the Shore', this morning, so I'll finish that before starting on 'A Clash Of Kings'. Anyway, can any George R.R. Martin fan tell me if the following two books are worth getting? The Hedge Knight. The Art of George R.R. Martin's A Song Of Ice & Fire. Graham

    No plans to get an MPC Voltron myself. I've always hated the concept of robots that transform or combine into animals. Give me military mecha any day. Graham

    Can't stand Farrel as an actor. He is the new Ben Afleck. Just watched the trailer. Gaahhhhh they start playing rap music halfway through.........NOooooooooooooooooo! Sorry, the movie may be called Miami Vice, but it is NOT Miami Vice in any way, shape or form. Yes, there may have been lots of guns and shooting in the trailer and fast boats and planes, but it just did not feel like Vice to me. And Farrel and Foxx are completely the wrong casting choice as Crocket and Tubbs IMO. Oh well, at least I just got my shipping notice from Amazon for season 2 of the TV series. Can't wait for season 3 to come out so I can see Crocket's Testarossa and S&W 645 again. Graham

    I have to admit to never having seen a single episode of South Park as AFAIK, it's never been shown here on Hong Kong TV. Actually, I did get to see a couple of minutes on a friend's DVD once, but the minimalist, i.e. low budget animation style put me off. Is it worth putting in the effort to watch? I did enjoy Team America, which I understand is by the same creators. Graham

    Just listened to those dub clips. Oh dear me! Mari sounds OK, but yes a little bit old to be playing a 15 year old. As for the voice acting for Hikaru and Roy....WTF!!!!! All I will say is that's further proof that anime should remain in it's original Japanese language with English subs. Graham

    Guys, c'mon. I'm in the top 10 posters list and usually post between 5 to 15 posts a day, sometimes more. It's not like I'm a lurker here. As for running Macrossworld, there have been no updates for the past 3 months or so, because when Shawn changed server, he forgot to give Jesse and me the passswords to the new server, so we couldn't update. I only managed to get in touch with Shawn a couple of weeks ago to get the new passwords. Shawn is a very busy guy now unfortunately. Just be grateful he's still paying the bills for this place. Jesse and I have updates planned soon, but in case you may not have noticed, it's close to Christmas time, so family stuff takes priority at the moment. And as Shin mentioned, I have a one and a half year old son, who takes up most of my available free time now. Graham

    The huge variety of MS in Gundam is one of the many things I don't like about Gundam series. Economically, it would just be too unrealllistic to produce so many new models of mecha in such a short time frame. Can you imagine in the real world if even a superpower like the US tried to produce a completely new model Jetfighter or tank every week, they would bankrupt themselves in short order. I'm sure that MS are not cheap to build or design, but new models seem to appear in nearly every episode of every series. This is great for selling model kits and toys in the real world, but unrealistic in terms of presenting a believable universe. I actually like that there are fewer models of VF in Macross, with most VFs serving from 10 to 20 years before being replaced. This is far more realistic and believable than Gundam IMO. Graham

    Gotta say a big 'thank you' to the white drew carey for bring this series of books to my attention. I'm about 600 pages into 'A Game of Thrones' now and absolutely loving it. Best book I've read in a long, long time. I like it so much that when I was just 200 pages into A Game of Thrones, I ordered the rest of the books without hesitating. Although I grew up on sword & sorcery books such as R.E. Howards's Conan stories and Michael Moorcock's Eternal Champion books, I'm not much into the fantasy genre these days, instead prefering contemporary thrillers, or hard science fiction stories. So it came as a big surprise to me that I'm enjoying it so much. Still no gratuitous sex though . Yes, there's some sex scenes, but they are faily short and don't go into much descriptive detail. Certainly not the 'Penthouse Letters' standard I was expecting after reading Less than Super Ostrich's comments in this thread. Graham

    It's actually mentioned several times in the series that the car(s) and the boat are supplied as part of his cover (goods confiscated from criminals under RICO statutes IIRC) Not sure about his wardrobe though When Crocket's black Ferrari Daytonna Spyder is destroyed, he actually has to drive a pick-up truck for a few episodes and he complains that nobody is going to buy his cover driving such a cheap car. He has to wait a few eps IIRC until a suitable fancy confiscated vehicle (white Ferrari Testarossa) becomes available. Graham

    Heh, he said 'BJ' Graham

    All that stuff was supposed to be supplied by the department as part of Crocket's cover as a drug dealer, not bought from his salary. Grahma

    Personally, I don't rate Mamoru Nagano that highly, as his ornate, spiky and highly impractical mecha designs do nothing for me. His L-Gaim designs were his best work IMO, but I've never liked his FSS and Brain Powerd mecha. He seems to lack variety in his work. And who is Kobayashi? For me the top 5 mecha designers would be: - 1) Kawamori for all his Macross VF and Armored Core designs. 2) Shinji Aramaki for his work on Mospeda, MADOX and Megazone 23. 3) Hajime Katoki for his Gundam Sentinel & Victory Gundam designs. 4) Izabuchi Yutaka for his Char's Counter Attack, 0080, Gasaraki and Patlabor designs. 5) Kunio Okawara for his Votoms mecha. (I can't stand 99.99% of his Gundam designs, but his Votoms work is inspired). Graham
