terry the lone wolf

Not really RT news but I'm watching the NEW Twilight Zone marathon on Chiller with an episode starring Iona Morris (Claudia from Macross Saga) & Terry (The Stepfather) O'Quinn.

Creation of Macross F movie 2 3D art/battle scenes from Auto Desk Area Japan. http://area.autodesk.jp/case/movie_tv/macross_f/ http://www.autodesk.co.jp/adsk/servlet/item?id=16931168&siteID=1169823

Seth Green compared the mature writing of Clone Wars to Robotech. Just sayin'

When I watched it wayyyyyyyyy back in 85/86 I thought that to but I always thought it a little weird that a lone Alpha was going into deep space on a rescue mission. I heard in the novels Scott does rendevous with the fleet on Moon Base Alice then later joins Vince & Jean Grant on the Ark Angel to search for the SDF-3.

Scott does fly off he rejoins the the Expeditionary Force near the moon. RTSC doesn't conflict with that. Scott rejoins the fleet and Ariel leaves Earth to join him.

Cobra is tailored made for live action. In a perfect world it would be rated a hard R but I feel there'll be pressure to have it a strong PG-13.

Tough being the bastard middle child of Robotech....

I'm in a weird place with Robotech. I believe it can go farther than what its shown but projects like video games, comics, & new animation has happened. When I watched RT on tv back in the 80's video games were like a distant dream; it just wasn't going to happen. I always thought maybe it was the limitation of the technology but little did I know both Transformers and Macross games had been on the NES for years in Japan. Carl Macek seemed to have very big and grandiose plans that for whatever reasons never panned out. Tommy Yune who might be mediocre in his storytelling compared to Macek but somehow managed to get merchandise out and for a brief time there was a revival for Robotech. So I'm conflicted...

Yeah like China or Brazil. Y'know third world nations...

I thought the graying was due to stress over Lisa getting badly hurt & losing their child and not really a aging issue.

The voting is pretty close. I chose the Lancer side story because I have a morbid curiosity of what was Carl's final project.

Well if was approached to direct the RTLAM it wasn't the fact he didn't want to direct Robotech but he prefers smaller independent productions not big budget blockbusters. He said it all through the article. Some directors don't like the studios having total control and are leaving their films.

Is anything really totally an original idea anymore? I see Macross Frontier and yes we have new characters, mecha, & storyline but borrows heavily from the original Macross concept with a faint hint of Mospeada. It seems like all these shows use a basic template and branch off with thier own takes. I'm a fan of Macross Frontier and I believe it was the shot in the arm that Macross needed to tell more exciting stories but it wasn't totally all that original too. Sometimes it felt like deja-vu with certain scenes. I hope one day they'll animate Macross R; to me that is an original concept that ditches a lot of things that Macross has relyed on for years.

Spoil me. It's going to be a looooooooooooooooooooooooong time when I'll be able to see the movie.

I think this part of the problem that BW is an ad company and not a real anime distribution company whose sole base is Japan. What do they care about selling in the West. They don't have the interest or the resources to do business in the West. What Macross properties that did make it to the West was due to second & third parties (Tatsunoko, Bandai Visual) who licensed to LA Hero, HG, & Manga. The gridlock will continue because BW can allow it.

I and saw Steven Tyler on the Howard Stern show saying he did the theme song to Yamato in Japan & he couldn't say the name right. If he had to say...I don't know...Starblazers...Would he be tripping on his words?..I don't know.. Y'know Hollywood, they don't create; they recycle....

To be fair the Garland didn't fight the Bioroids; Mark was mostly fighting the Harguns and goverment forces. In Space you had Southern Cross mecha basically fighting the Bioroids. Even when the Robotech Masters flagship crashed on Earth there was no MZ23 mecha there only Southern Cross ones.

May'n's appeal was that she was a live action Sheryl sans the blond hair. The long hair the sexy but outragious clothes added to the effect. Now she looks like any typical pop JAV idol & that's too bad.

I have to agree with this but I think WB Animation Proper wouldn't be good for RT. They need have aanime style. They need to farm out to either Studio 4C or Madhouse; both having relations with WBA with other projects. Those studios are capable of making a mock Macross animated movie.

Bruce was the martial world's greatest super star but that's not saying he was the greatest martial artist (he didn't compete). From Chuck Norris to Jet Li; Bruce opened the door (or maybe kicked the door)to allow martial artists to make big money doing the arts for movies, tv, and all sorts of mass media. Once an underground grind house niche you can find martial arts in almost every part of pop culture because of Bruce Lee.

I don't know if he's like that but I find his links to Glenn Beck & Fox News on his blog very troubling. He seems to be terrible at marketing: To make people pay convention fees to see an animatic is very moronic. Hasn't HG learned their media blackout never works? It leads to undue speculation both positive & negative. After the animatic premiered at AODSF the next day it should've been posted on RT.com. Throwing bread crumbs goes a long ways to making your online fan base feel a little appreciated.

I think anime fans are reserved by nature. I went to last years Otakon and saw the Sunday show of Homemade Kazoku. The crowd was attentive but a "little to cool for school" to really get into show. I was in a crowd with some girls and we pumped up the show then others got into it and they rocked the house. I've been to a few panels and sometimes they're just like that picture so that's not really a determinate on how the animatic was received. Personally, I'm waiting for more of people who did attend to post what they saw.

But what is that exactly when Japanese studios are also farming out their projects to Korea, China, & Thailand. These countries like the USA & France have grown up with the Japanese anime style and can mimic it.

You can tell excitement by looking "at the back of their heads"; you're good....
