I know what the problem is.... you have an older DVD player dont' you? The problem is the dual layer disks. I have the same problem with my $300 Panasonic DVD player playing Monty Python and the Holy Grail... my neighbor's $50 plays it just fine. No solution other than to get a different DVD player. I use my PS2 to watch the movie.

Regardless of how many times I watch Mac+ (the OVA), I still go wow. Every time I watch DYRL... I think its "OK" Its all a matter of tastes. I suggest watching Plus and making the decision for yourself Worst case buy the Mac+ movie... If you don't like it, you can just give it to me

Yay for Pixar! Is it just me or does Disney seem more like Microsloth. Trying to find a way to stamp their name on everything to get the royalties? Deep Impact and Armegeddon... hehe then there is Red Planet and Mission to Mars... So many stories have "similaries" more or less because just about everything has been done. You have to think really creatively to get a truely original work. I give Kudos to Pixar, every movie I have seen of theirs has been excellently done. Though I have not seen Nemo, YET

I had twin turbos installed on my VF-2Z28

ACK! ok this doesn't work... I have several files I "think" are in Japanese. When I paste the file name in, it just gives me a few letters and a bunch of "?"s Like this one: 01-§Úªº¨kªB¤Í¬O­¸¾÷¥q Part II (¶º®q¯u²z¥D°Û).mp3 or the album title: ¥d³q¼@¶°¡m¶W®ÉªÅ­n¶ë Macross¡n­ìÁn­µ¼Ö±M¿è

Wound up watching the whole thing again... still makes me go wow... I second that

I think its more funny than gross??? I don't see what the big deal is?

Are you talking about the scene at approx 7m:30s?

man... this guy is good. I love the Actors/Directors boxes.... The Triguns one is nice, but I think he could put a little more graphics into to. Gawd, I would so love to get the Mac+ box

where the heck did I put that vid? I don't remember that...

hmmm... I need to find more.. More.. MORE!!

Wow! they even have a M41-A pulse rifle!! Does anyone have any hardcore experience making paper models? I have questions like how do you paint them. I'm guessing you need to use a special primer/sealer to keep the Acrylics from "melting"/sagging the paper. I'd hate to make a Regult and have it crumple, or the glue fall apart. I work in a print room, I could freekin make a room full of these things

hmmm... there's an idear... scratch and taste/smell :smack self:

what i do is i go to http://world.altavista.com/, what many of us know as Babel Fish Translation ... under "Translate a Web page"... cut and paste yamato's "what's new" link, http://www.yamato-toys.com/index.php?mode=wnew ... select "japanese to english"..and then translate the whole thing.. most of the page should show up in terrible, but readable engRish... even the links work.. Hey thanks for the tip, I have seen that on Altavisa (and Google, my prefered search engine) but I have not tried it before. Though I bet it won't OCR glyphs out of images I'd love to read some of the captions on the Japanese sites I have seen

err... I'd love to take it on, but If I goofed I wouldn't want to be responsible for someone elses Valk... besides I think I have enough little "projects" of my own to finish

LMAO Well I was considering the whole purpose was to increase the population. If you were to go back to the Cromagnum (sp?) era, where the age expentancy was about 30, they started procreation at puberty. But it is an interesting calculation to go from 20k people and have 600k+ people in 40 years... the doctors/nurses in the local hospitals would NEVER be able to keep up. Cloneing would be a good way to go.. my suggestion would be a clone to natural birth ratio of about 60/40. Gradually rotating the natural births into the gene pool and then back out again. This "new" genetic material would lower the instances of genetic mutation. There is also the idea of using hormone therapy to "increase" the number of twins, triplicates, etc. hey I have always yelled at the screen during the scene where Hikaru and Lisa are on the earth saying are we the only ones left: "Woohoo! We get to rebuild the population!"

ACK! woops I was having the 12 yo children dividing like ameoba (sp?) at 40 years that would be 630,000 (huge freekin difference). 636,100 with 1% twins

Well interesting math problem there It can get really complex, so I will keep it really simple (If I can) Mac7 is 45 years later isn't it??? But I'll just stick with 40. Well lets say there are 40 years, thats 480 monthes: equates to 53.333 possible birth periods of 9 months gestation (presuming Zentreadi is the same duration, no twins, no premies, no still births, Deaths, murders, same sex partners without a chemistry sets, etc) If we assume a man and woman couple as 1 (producing a single child) because the child can't have children by itself we we consider it .5 as it gets older. Say there are 20k survivors (10k couples) all of childbearing ages. The first 9 monthes = 5k babies. Assuming at the age of 12 the children are ready to have children. Come now, your rebuilding the world's population. Presuming you don't go as far to either start cloaning, test-tube babies, giving the children hormones to start having children at the age of 9, or something like that. In 12 years thats 16 gestation periods. At this point there are now a population of 25k people of birthing age (12500 couples). 12500 couples have a child each, the next gestation period the 2nd set of babies is now old enough to have children. Next Gestation period the 3rd set of babies are now old enough... so on and so forth At this point I have to switch to Excel to calculate the population... At the end of 39yrs 9months.... the estimated population would be 5,208,750 people. Now if 1% have have twins: 5,260,737 Now it gets more complex figuring out who got to old to have children anymore... then you also gotta try and figure out where the inbreading starts, and what percentage of possible birth defects are acceptable.... etc *gonna post this, think about it some more... I might need to edit it

HG owns my soul, and what was formerly the contents of my checking account I said years ago I would give my soul to get the Robotech series on Vid. The series was "out of print" for like 5 years at the time. Then for the 20th Anniv they "re-release" it on DVD... at like $40 a crack. Plus all the other Toynami and the like products that came out... HG got what? 90% of the money?

ah crap... too bad I can't delete my own posts

OMFG! GIMMIE GIMMIE GIMMIE!

Well if your talking about what was refered to as "Reflex Weaponry" from the Robotech series (don't recall the Macross name for it, for all I can remember it might be the same). Its based upon a type of nuclear fusion (producing no radiation). Same type of reaction used to power the Veritechs/Valks, just in an uncontrolled manor to create a detonation.

Well in GiJoe the Movie, can't get much more of a "main" character than Duke. Both movies came out pretty close together, but if memory recalls TF came out first.

There is some pretty good information available through finescale.com

Momorable death huh? I'd have to say Roy's Death is the first one on my mind. I grew up in the Robotech generation, I really wish they didn't edit out the true Macross scenes. I saw the bloody cockpit in a clip (I think from Robotech.com), it was nothing horrid. I really think they made some poor descisions when to took out some of the scenes. I agree with the "Robotech" is not Macross arguement, I am a fan of both as seperate enteties. Then Duke's death in GI Joe the Movie (now its has to be 10-15 years sinse I have seen the move so I don't remember all the details). I too also think of Optimus's Death, when I first saw him die and fade to a lifeless grey mass, it just made me go "WOW!" Also the first time I heard "$hit" said in anime/cartoon.
