oh, well then, it's quite imaginitive and fun for a robotech story.

oh god... that sounds like a plot right out of star trek voyager. In my mind, I chose to believe that the megaroad found a nice planet and they settled down, misa and hikaru built a house with a nice fence and had babies and raised border collies.

cool, maybe we should get badges made or something. or a tshirt. But not a fancy tshirt.. just a regualr grey one and then draw something on it with a sharpie.

Variety is reporting stephen sommers is going to direct gi joe: http://www.variety.com/article/VR111797075...yid=13&cs=1

thanks, I rest my case.

well, I transformed my vf-0a, and it's been in battroid mode for about about 6 months now (minus a week or two in fighter mode for moving purposes) and the arms tucked away just on mine.

It's okay, I'm right there with you.

no, seriously, what's up with the ages?

Let's also not forget the reason why the rebel terrorists are forced to associate with non human species... instead of hiring legal union human citizens, they try to save a few bucks by running slave labor factories on backwater planets. and lets not kid ourselves, there were plenty of civilian non combatants on both death stars when the terrorists struck without warning. Did they take into consideration the thousands of union plumbers, contractors, electricians and sanitary workers? No, these honest, hardworking citizens of the Galactic Empire were happily doing their jobs, doing their little part to ensure peace and order for the entire galaxy when some religious fanatic went and blew up the reactor. Let me also add that the Death Star was a fantastic civil engineering project that single handedly created new jobs all accross the economic strata, from miners and freight workers, to engineers and construction workers. This great civil project brought on by the magnanimous and benevolent Emperor was a gracious and grand gesture that brought the economy of the Galaxy out of a dreadful repression brought on by years of warfare. Warfare fought mainly by the religious fanatics the Jedi, against a hapless alien species, all because the jedi didn't like their economic policies.

I don't understand the signifigance of posting the ages/birthdates of the various major characters from the various macross shows...

I wouldn't think it would... the piece of plastic that connects the shoulder mount to the body has a great deal of wiggle room where it actually connects to the body so even if there were some minor bending of the plastic, that joint should be able to accomodate the curvature and still allow the arms to sit flush in fighter. Usually the only time I see the arms hanging low in fighter mode is when the shoulder mounts aren't tucked away on top of the swing bar, but sit underneath the bar, causing the arms to sit low in fighter mode. Out of the various problems with the VF-0 design, imo, low hanging arms in fighter mode is not one of them.

a common misconception, the truth is alderaan had been scheduled to be demolished to make way for an intergalactic superhighway off ramp. The few squatters who remained on the planet had been warned repeatedly of the construction plans, yet the terrorist leader leia organa continued to rile up the indginant and prop them up with wild claims of creating community gardens and a learning and rehabilitation center for aging clones.

The more I think about it, the more I like the idea of a CGI JLA... i like routh's superman, but he doesn't strike me as having the sort of leadership charsima needed to lead earth's heroes. I also agree with Radd in that I hope it's not a photorealistic movie, i think moving away from that frees animators and even the audience to be able to accept exagerated physiques and super powers much more readily than if they were seeing a guy in a muscle suit. as for a lineup: superman batman wonderwoman martian manhunter green lantern (scott alan or john stewart, yeah I know alan isn't part of the jla but I just like the old man)

again, did I use any inflamatory or degrading words? Did I call you names or use childish taunts or insults? No, I simply stated my preference that it not be imageworks and gave the reasons why. I could understand your response if my post were something along the lines of: First! it better not be those hacks who did polar express to suck becuase they are teh suck! They couldn't animate their way out of a wet paper bag if their mommies were calling them home to eat cookies. Their FAT mommies. Which I did not. And I'm sorry, but far worse things have been said on this board, about various groups in the industry... notably in the various transformers movies threads and the robotech shadow threads without a word from you in their defense.

maybe they're fighting in grey/green/brown nebulas?

yeah, I hope so too. I'll have to wait for at least 6 months though before I'll trust the new shoulders. If they're still holding up, then I'll be happy to pick up repaints or 0D or whatever variant yamato has in store. I might pick one up while on holiday in korea though, just because I really do like the overall design of the VF-0 series.

so... it's okay to talk crap about movies you haven't worked on. That's what all I'm hearing from you. Because I sure as hell don't see you jumping around in the thread bashing the shadow chronicles, or the thread about the suckiest hollywood movies ever, or the thread about how hollywood sucks. And where were you in the Transformers sucks podcast thread? I bet michael bay and ILM worked real hard on that movie as well. I'm sure all those people work just as hard as you do. i'm sure they're all as emotionally invested as you are, it doesn't mean that as consumers, we can't have our own opinions on what we like and dislike. And I didn't use the word "suck." That's your word, not mine. I just stated that I would prefer if not be from your studio, that I think that there's too much attention/reliance on the motion capture and not enough on the animation. And well, the beowulf trailer did have some pretty stilted animation, I'm not the only person to think so. Aren't trailers put out so that audiences can form an opinion about a movie? to decide whether they like it or not? And forgive me if I'm wrong, but imageworks hasn't done any other photorealism 100% CGI movies other than polar express and beowulf, so what else do I have to form an opinion on? So why don't YOU prove me wrong, show me how much your technology and artistry has improved, you guys are the ones asking for my money. If beowulf has the greatest CGI character animation since, I dunno, golum or whatever, than I'll be happy to congratulate you and your company for the fine work you've done.

sorry if I hurt your feelings,I'm sure that you work very hard and are talented in whatever it is you do. But as a paying consumer, I'm entitled to my subjective opinions. Just like I'm sure you have when it comes to any other goods or service... like say a car. I'm sure you have opinions on whether a kia is better or worse than a bmw, yet i'm equally sure you lack the knowledge and equipment necessary to produce any sort of automobile. Does your lack of ability to produce a comparable work prohibit you from voicing your opinion? I also don't recall if you've similarly rebuked other board members who have created whole threads on the relative suckiness of hollywood movies. Are you singling me out because I happen to not like a movie you've worked on?

Bah, the noble Galactic Empire is above dealing with those filthy flea ridden bothans. Besides, they shed so much, it would have taken the entire length of the insurgency just to get that wet bothan smell out of the shield generators.

typical of the rebel terrorists. First they steal the shields from hard working empire fighter pilots thanks to their shady association with non humans and then they go about touting their so called technological superiority!

exactly, the empreror has shown himself to be someone who doesn't give up the fight and keeps going: super weapon destroyed, make another, get thrown into an endless shaft by pansy apprentice, clone yourself and start again. In comparison, what does yoda do? Loses one fight and then runs off to the swamp to sulk and pout for 18 years. And lets face it, yoda not that smart. He's been around 900 years and he still can't be bothered to learn how to properly speak galactic?

Well, I'm all for CGI superheroes, I just hope it's not done by the company that did polar exress and beowulf... I find their animation to be really subpar and that they rely too heavily on scanning and motion capture.

the truth comes out, rebels support slavery and mysogeny! It's only under the glorious Empire that women are freed of their bondage!

scream man has had good luck with his, I don't know if anyone has bad experiences, though Graham hasn't given us an official answer yet.

ah, sorry man, you're right. It's DnD who's made thinly veiled accusations against graham. you just call people idiots and fools. My bad. In my defense, given how rhetoical and caustic your comments are, I'm not going to lose any sleep over it.
