I wonder if anyone will miss Kate Bosworth riveting performance...

As much as we like calling out Harmony Gold's BS on this thread, I believe the majority of the fandom have no clue who Tommy Yune is and especially the antics Kevin "Send Me Hatemail" McKeever. BTW, would anybody be disappointed if Tommy confirmed there would be no new Mospeada/New Gen-based toys coming out this year? I think someone mentioned it on the RTX boards...

I think they already settle for Robert Pattinson... and to think, someone once suggested Justin Bieber. So close!

Ssssssh! McKeever might be reading this! He wants to see if the guy who posted that rant is going here and talking about it! Apparently to McKeever and the rest of the Robotech.com regulars, it will invalidate the complaint and make the complainant look like a troll! Because you know... Macrossworld = WE HATE ROBOTECH YAAAAAARHGHHHH WE ARE SO HIGH AND MIGHTY

Cartoon might be decent. Just imagine this whole thing as a Hollywood movie though. Shia Lebuff-types wearing black skintight suits and riding giant stop motion robot lions. Gonna be awesome!!

WHAT IS THIS CLUSTERFUC% YOU SPEAK OF? PLEASE CITE EVIDENCE THAT ROBOTECH IS A CLUSTERFUC*. I WANT EVIDENCE OF THIS. PROVIDE A URL OR ARTICLE TO SUPPORT YOUR ARGUMENT YOU HAVE TO BE PATIENT BECAUSE THEY ARE DOING EVERYTHING IN THEIR POWER TO MAKE ROBOTECH SUPER AWESOME. STOP WHINGING. STOP IT. FANS ARE SO ENTITLED NOW. STUPID STUPID PLEASE DON'T CALL PEOPLE NAMES BECAUSE IT INVALIDATES YOUR ARGUMENT AND YOU ARE IMMATURE AND YOU MAKE ME EVER MORE AWESOME. MCKEEVER IS VERY NICE IN PERSON SO IS TOMMY THEY HAVE BEEN VERY FORTHCOMING YOU DONT KNOW WHAT YOU TALKING ABOUT PLEASE CITE EVIDENCE ARYYAAHRRAKFAJKLFSAJL; I EAT PUPPIES FOR BREAKFAST

Hey guys and gals, it seems Harmony Gold finally kicked out McKeever after reading that rant. I saw a very ad a day later. Very interesting... Qualifications seem pretty tough, not sure if they can find a replacement on time. Hope things go well for the company. Best of luck to McKeever on his future endeavors.

I guess this is what everybody was waiting for...

A Doom remake? Jesus. Update on the much-anticipated Red Dawn remake: http://uk.movies.yahoo.com/blog/article/151574/red-dawn-remake-replaces-nationality-of-villains.html

The director saw the pitch and exclaimed "This is going to be my Prince of Persia, my Battlefield: Earth!" Bravo, number one Robotech fan! You truly are shining pride of this fandom. Let it be said that any good director that turns down this silly cartoon movie is a pussy and doesn't deserve a career in Hollywood! Maybe it's just me, but wouldn't a director that actually knows how to direct his actors benefit the character-driven, angsty Robotech story? Be careful what you wish for.

I woke up this morning and realized we're giving this Robotech animated project 2011 way too much attention than it deserves. All I know is I'll watch it once after I get off bittorent and that's that. Rumor has it the new animation is going to be shoehorned with Long Live Alive. Multiple flashback sequences. The whole shebang. How exciting. It's like the property is stuck in some kind of weird limbo...

It's not so much Robotech's "official" twitter account as it's a virtual trip around McKeever's ego/mind. # Robotech: Prelude to the Shadow Chronicles is currently sold out in the Robotech.com store. #anime #amnga #cosplay #DCNation # A look at Kev's hotel room in San Fran. #AODSF http://twitpic.com/417asq # We have mostly a new crowd for this panel. # Robotech Animation will be COMPLETED in 2011. No release date yet. # Tommy now discusses how CG tech has improved. Fans commenting on animation. # For 90% of the #Robotech fans in the audience this is the first time they are seeing this footage. #anime #manga #cosplay # TOMMY: "You will see the consequences of Zor's legacy" in the new animation. # The new animation clip was only shown once. # The Robotech panel has no ended! Fans were very happy to see the new animation. # We are getting reports that the debut of the new #Robotech animation at #AODSF is causing quite a stir. There's a recent tweet about Harmony Gold's office's "coffee table books", which unsurprisingly consists of Robotech books. I brought this up because voice actor Richard Epcar actually commented on the image: I can't agree with you more, sir. Hey McKeever, if you're reading this, why not cut the BS? Let me correct you there. Those are 20 paying customers. Something only narrow-minded McKeever understands. Yikes... Do you have a feeling he thinks everyone who questions the way the franchise is run on Robotech.com is you in disguise? What a strange little man. I did notice he took over that blogspot position. At first I couldn't believe he was running it, but after putting two and two together, I've got a bad feeling he's got this mad, demented hard-on for you. What I want to know is why Tommy Yune condones this weird, antisocial behavior. Anyway, there is an off-shoot topic brewing about in Robotech.com if anyone's interested. The question: Who are the "enemies of Robotech"? Who are the competition of the property? Notice how the hardcore seem to disregard the past success of Japanese Macross, but also disregard TMNT, GI Joe, Transformers, He-man, and even Voltron! Crazy times we live in. http://www.robotech.com/community/forum/read.php?id=2109990&forumid=31

Been following the story and the images are horrifying. As if the Japanese people aren't suffering enough...

Attack the cons, attack McKeever. That explains a lot. So you're saying that filling up a convention hall doesn't always translate to high sales? Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hold it, darkwater. You're saying that his tirade against one fan is actually directed as some petty professional grudge against you? And despite being redeemed by the evidence you presented, and he ignored it and went ballistic? Wow. I guess some people don't change. It's no secret McKeever has done a lot to "fight off" the internet. There hasn't been ZERO effort to update their website since its inception. No integration of social media, no significant new content, nothing. One could easily give the argument that "if it ain't broke, don't fix", but that's bull in 2011. There have been threads where he stated that the internet represents a minuscule part of their marketing operations. Well, look at Kevin Smith and the empire he's grown with his podcasts. Look at self-marketed properties throughout Youtube, twitter, etc. As Tom Bateman said earlier, Robotech has become one big wasted opportunity. Dated business models, narrow minded marketing and creative directors, the list goes on. This may be true, but why haven't they officially put Memo or Mav_LSC on their payroll yet? Both have done more than their share of free promotions...

Wasn't there a scene that was filmed (or at least planned to be) where Deckard walks into some sort of scanner, and the machine identifies him as a Replicant (but nobody notices)? I think I read it in that massive Making of Blade Runner book... Could also support Scott's overall direction of the character...

In the end, all this drivel of demanding proof is moot. What matters is if Harmony Gold can deliver anything NOTABLE on time! I hate to break it to you McKeever, but people make up "conspiracy theories" because none of the three stooges in Harmony Gold has a shred of integrity and honesty (All this distrust stems from all the decades long legal troubles with Japan as well) In 80's revival news, thanks to rtsurfer (one of the few active, sane fans): Wow, how times have changed! I thought What was McKeever saying about their competition all filing for bankruptcy? Anyone taking bets on whether this brave new, allegedly full-length animated "sidequel" will be released in 2011??

Hah... Hahahahaha... HAHAHAHAHAHA! HAHAHAHA HO HO HO HO HO HO HEE HEE HEE HAR HAR HAR HAR!! HAHA---*faints from exhaustion*

Hey ahch... I mean ps99042, why are you making the McKeever mad? Can't you see it's giving him undue stress? For all you know the guy has hypertension, or bad cholesterol. Look at what you did. Just look, you heartless bastard. McKeever whipped out the "Live Action movie is still in development by Tobey Maguire and writter by Lawrence Kasdan card". See? You might've made him constipated. And what is this issue about Robotech being relevant in this day and age? Do you not see his flawless argument? Do you not see that this demand by fanboys, to see this convention-exclusive clip and concept art on the internet, is irrefutable proof that Robotech is and will forever be relevant? So you, and the rest of the so-called "enemies of Robotech", should CEASE AND DESIST. You are doing irreperable harm in Harmony Gold's efforts to secure a new distributor, funding, or whatever! How dare you, sir? How dare you. They have the blessing of Warner Brothers. They have remained top-of-mind, this is Robotech, dear friends. So burn your tinfoil hats. Throw away all your preconceived notions about this once thought to be stagnant property. You were warned. McKeever will make you his b*tch.

If everybody will turn their attention to Robotech.com's "Robotech Production" subforum, there is a very interesting discussion going on. It's doubters versus the hardcore fanboys, and Kevin McKeever decided to join the party! One of the highlights is McKeever mocking current fanboy beliefs such as: #1 That WB prevented Harmony Gold from producing animated movies #2 That once again, Shadow Rising is "still in production" He goes on by saying that they have been investing their money very wisely, and that this new animated movie is a "brand new direction" for the franchise. He claims that while their competitors have blown their money in money-losing ventures and gone out of business, Robotech the property is surprisingly robust, and they have full blessing (and backing?) of Warner Brothers. He said that there is nobody preventing the production of new Robotech material, and that its all one big, stupid conspiracy cooked up by blah blah blah. It's very strange to hear McKeever speak of what he claims is "the truth". How much of the facts has been twisted to make Hamony Gold look good? I've noticed in the past that he can be very inconsistent and almost stupidly hardheaded. One fan, whom I believe will banned soon, has called out McKeever on a number of occasions. Their little back and forth is quite humorous. Peronally, I doubt a Lancer Dancer sidestory is a "new direction" worth in this day and age. But who knows? The biggest question is, will the f***ing CG be good?

That's cool. I had a buddy who was raving about it as well. Who knows? They green-light a sequel for this already? It's not doing so well at the box office. I heard Percy Jackson is getting one and that was an even worse film!

Hell yes, I'd like to revisit Neo-Kobe. The recent tech demo of the latest incarnation of the Unreal engine makes me wanna shout at Kojima to JUST DO IT. http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2011/03/03/very-real-epic-reveal-next-gen-unreal-tech/

I was forced to watch it. It was okay until... that last bit in the school. God, it was such a mess. Kinda reminded me of the mind-numbingly bloated CG-overkill of Transformers 2. Surprisingly enough, the producer was Michael Bay. Can't believe my friends passed Black Swan for this...

I thought the look of Minority Report was the "evolution" of the dystopia punk aesthetic. Or A.I.? Or I, Robot? Ugh. Now that I think about it, maybe it is good they bring the king back. The interweb's been going crazy over the the past few hours regarding this... Maybe they can do an Indy 4 and bring back Deckard. Eh? Eh? See? He wasn't a replicant! http://news.google.com.ph/news/more?q=blade+runner&oe=utf-8&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a&um=1&hl=en&ie=UTF-8&ncl=dgxNTIX7VKpKEdMHf_pasjSVnZqMM&ei=RmBwTcvVIJCycZTx4fgC&sa=X&oi=news_result&ct=more-results&resnum=1&ved=0CCsQqgIwAA

Whatever happens, we're doomed. http://sciencefictionworld.com/films/science-fiction-films/734-blade-runner-sequels-and-prequels-happening.html At least they're bringing back cyberpunk??

It has to be seen to be believed. Seems ps99042 and rtsurfer are having a little "gentlemanly discussion" with tweedledumb and tweedledumber at ol' RobotechX boards. It's the one you've heard a million times, but still good fun to read in the office! It's like watching one of those surreal Stephen Colbert interviews, where the straight man interviews some narrow-minded tool. Here's an excerpt from their riveting debate: http://www.robotechx.com/forums/4-robotech-classic-tv-series/12833-robotech-animated-movie-2011.html?limit=10&start=130 What are you waiting for? Drop on by RobotechXTREEME dot com. I'm not sure if this was discussed earlier, but did McKeever really say this? And that he recently posted this on the Robotech facebook? And then you get a quote like this during the discussion board: So... is Memo shooting himself in the foot here? If Robotech's staunchest fanboy can't even get hard for this pencil test, why should anybody else care? CAN SOMEONE MAKE SENSE OF THIS MESS?! Stranger things have happened...
