I think we can all agree that this can be locked. If there was more information, like why did Bateman leave HG, then the thread would serve some more purpose.

that was awesome... I'd check that out!

I realize that you were joking but by me inviting you, that means I have to reassure other people that you're gonna be ok. So I asked you to not joke about it. Coming back at me with another joke is pretty idiotic. Maybe you're just regaling at the little attention you have found, in which case you're better off not showing up. But if you were serious about a neutral face to face which what would seem like the whole point to your stunt is then don't be a jackass.

Dude, I extended an invitation to you. Dont act like an idiot. Pies may not be considered "dangerous" but its pretty frakking insulting. I can see that your too much of an idiot to take this to a serious level like I hoped you would. You're confusing me for some of the people here that just want to argue. You want to argue with me I'll take you up on it.

don't joke about doing stuff at MWCon.

Hey Kamjin, if youre serious about coming to MWCon contact Kiririth on the convention thread. I dont mean that as an invitation to an ambush or anything, but if you're willing to come as a fellow civilized fan, and maybe apologise to Tommy (which I'm sure he deserves one) then of course by all means come. I'm sad to hear about Tom Bateman not being with HG anymore. I actually know the guy and his passion for robotech is quite apparent. I tease him about it once and awhile but it's all in good fun. But I'd be interested to hear what a discussion would be like between a disgruntled RT fan and the people that are responsible for the franchise, because all we ever hear about are Macross vs. Robotech arguments here. And yes... we ARE all jerks... haha. But in person most of us get along. Just dont bring any pies, even if youre just gonna eat it.

its not that the pie is the issue, it's that people with ill intent can walk up to anyone to cause harm no matter how small, is a cause for concern. AX is suppose to be a fun event (even though I think it sucks).

Tommy Yune and Tom Bateman are both nice guys. I may not like any of the new RT stuff but these guys are always stand up people when you meet them in person.

eh? cupping the canopy?

What I really want to know is what Kyp thinks of the fighter mode... is it just me?

Mamori Oshii sucks donkey balls. All his films are pretentious and boooooooring. They always seem like they're playing in half the speed so we can be in awe of the amazing animation. I rather have an IV dripping with ether than watch his so called films. Even the title sounds slow...

ranting about the rant... haha.

where? here on this thread that we're on? I would think that this thread would be better....

A super valk.

wait a minute... you kept asking me what I thought then then your saying that I'm ranting about the movie. Seriously, every time you post, I understand better why you liked this movie and there must be more of you out there because there's people lining up to see this crap. Remember this? and this? and this? While I addressed everyone of your question, you just keep saying the same things... this is kinda weird so either your wishy washy or it's like win/win for you whether it was stupid or not. People wouldnt see a movie if it was stupid = people wouldnt have followed Hitler if he was evil. People are generally stupid... most of them just happen to be Fantastic 4 movie fans. I revised my reply from Rated R to PG-13 to PG for you so you and your homies can read it.

Turning over in his grave? After all the comic book movies based on his books he's probably done more spins than a breakdancer with epilepsy.

ARE YOU NOT ENTERTAINED? IS THIS NOT WHAT YOU WANT? I'm actually just messing with the guy... this movie has me feeling like I just had an ice cold shower.

OK, first of all I dont read superhero comic books, I'm saying of the ones I've read they've actually made sense. And heck yeah, I'm hard on the film... why would I take it easy on people that were paid millions of dollars that can't even deliver a good story much less a good one, or even better, one that isn't written by retards and mongloids. (I apologise ahead to retards and mongloids out there, that may have been too harsh to compared to those writers.) I can't believe you dont understand what I'm saying, but then again you enjoyed this movie so maybe this all makes sense. OK, I'll play along... here's a list of problems... 1. The government sends a General to interrupt the wedding and Reed refuses to help (I know that he only pretended to refuse, but I'll say it now so you don't get all hissy in me) and Sue lets him refuse. WTF? The fate of the world is on the line and Sue would think that it's ok because their freakin wedding is important? There's two things fundamentally wrong with that... Reed refusing, Sue and everyone else not making a big deal... the scene was done but not before my stomach was. 2. The Silver lets planets get destroyed but saves earth because Alba is bootilicious and reminds him of his ex. But at the end he destroys galactus by what? farting into the incredible cloud that he was. Is that what he did? And then nothing happens to him. So all this time after millions of interstellar lives were spent, he could have just sacrificed himself during the first planet? And he didn't even know that he had a chance of living thru it, so he coulda went back to his chick anyway. 3. Reed Richards dancing... what the frakk is up with all these superhero dance numbers? Peter Parker, now Mr. Fantastic? I think Avi Arad has some fruitiness issues. The story doesnt work... there is no story... the only story happens to be the director's last name, which is a total misnomer. Regardless if it was stupid? That's the problem right there... people disregarding stupidity, which pretty much answers your question of why people go to see this crap. If you notice though, the stupider the movie the faster they fall off from box office numbers. Remember the amount of weeks Titanic, Pirates, Shrek and even the first Spider-Man stayed on top of the BO? And how fast the inane sequels fell off this year? That's because of the word of mouth spread about how stupid these movies are. I don't watch the oscars. If you still dont understand then you'll never understand... but then again maybe its me that unaware that I'm arguing with a 12 year old.

I'm diggin this so far. I'm gonna check out TMNT to see how good these guys are.

A little maybe, but Superman coming from another planet was the news established in the first movies. In this one, Reed punched a couple of keys and came to the needed conclusion... but yes, by limiting my complaint to a short sentence my argument fails... I understand that I have to spell everything out to the people I'm arguing with, people that actually admit to enjoying this movie. I agree with the rest of your statement though.

It's funny how every other blonde actress in that movie wouldve made a better Sue Richards, like the army chick. They managed to make one of the hottest actresses in Hollywood look like a clown with the fake wig and the oddly colored contacts. She was hideous. At least show her body more, but they toned that down compared to the last movie too... make the one good thing about these movies disappear... great decision!

Oh yeah I went there... so what? It's not what I expect... it's the fact that it's exactly what I expected. I find it funny that people actually enjoy this crap. Tell me exactly what you liked about it and let me see if your taste is not the type that eats up this less than mediocre sploogefest. You didn't even address my problems with the film... all I hear from anyone that gives these films the thumbs up is "why didn't you like it?" and "well what did you expect?" Which is total BS. It's hilarious that movie makers are so pretentious that they don't want to do the comic books the way they are on the page because it's beneath them but in actuality the stories are better and actually make some sense. Even terry the lonewolf said it well, which suprised me cuz he's a total fanboy, "I mean these guys want do a movie based on a comic but they don't want to do a comic book movie(catch 22). It's soooooooooooooooo stupid!" I can feel myself ranting like it matters but it just annoys me to no end how people are just so complacent so that this type of "entertainment" keeps getting made. How about next time, we all dont check every part of our brains at the door and leave some so that we can recognize story when we see it?

yes it would... but the question remains...

I don't think Rohby does these anymore. Contact nightmareb4macross about replacements. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=17964

I didnt' enjoy it... that's my point. I"m not gonna sit here and tell people how it should be done, but if you can read over my complaints maybe that'll give you a clue to what the problems are. Or maybe there's not enough special effects on my post for you to pay attention. Always... and there's a a reason. I avoided F4 the first time around because I knew I wouldnt like it. This time I went with friends who wanted to see it. But these film adaptations including Spider-Man, Ghost Rider, DareDevil, The Hulk, etc... have all just had stories that were inane and completely senseless. And people keep buying into the hype because its something they recognize. I don't go around saying there's no good ones. Good comic book or product based movies are around but very few. Pirates (the first one), The Crow (the first one) and even Kung Fu Hustle, which isnt based one any product but provided the exact type of entertainment these promise. The fact that people KNOW that the stories in these movies are stupid yet still but into them is inexcusable. I haven't been reaing comic books for a while now, but I know that the stories in those books arent as bad. I read the Ultimates comic books and those seem to be pretty cinematic but comes across very intelligently and the visuals are epic. Good luck with your Transformers I'm sure it'll tickle your numb brains.
