I still say that a Macross OAV based around Destroid pilots would be a great idea. Could be done as a nice little side-story and could have the pilots whining about how popular the Valk pilots are. Sure, it would probably have to be different to the traditional Macross formula but whats wrong with that? Taksraven

You sound like you are channelling Roy Focker there. :lol: Taksraven

Yeah, the good ol' Usenet was the internet version of the Wild West. Anything went and it often did. Taksraven

Yeah, that too. Gotta love a Catch-22 situation.... Taksraven

True, but I wouldn't get too worked up about it. Astro Boy sounds just as silly as Mighty Atom. Taksraven

The Doctor Who Forum was in its dying days so I bravely posted a single message and got banned for it.... Here is what they said to me. Message from the Doctor Who Forum You have been banned for the following reason: Extreme rudeness to the community here - you posted "Goodbye you motherf**ckers!!!!! Ha ha!!!!" Date the ban will be lifted: Never I put two u's in the offending word to get past their censors. Yes, its juvenile and silly, but we should have fun with this. Taksraven

You reckon that The Rock was good???? :wacko: Taksraven

Comments like this one that sum up pretty much the entire mess being debated here really show the pointlessness of the overall debating going on here. Unless there is a serious change in the status quo (ie, the collapse of HG), I think its pretty clear that things are not really going to change. What this thread is really about is venting against Robotech.com and its forums, Shadow Chronicles, Tommy Yune, on occasion Carl Macek and anybody and anything else that gets in the way of projects like Macross Frontier getting a proper release in the West. There, I said it. Taksraven

I dunno. I have watched the first three films properly and while they are certainly interesting I find little in them to get enthusiastic about. And don't even get me started on the books....... I think that the LOTR trilogy holds the "Best Fantasy Film" slot for me and probably always will. I loved those films. Taksraven

Michael Bay's commercial........ More subtle than the Verizon one, but he's still in it......... (Its for an Australian bank, BTW....) Taksraven

I think that technique would have worked better with this trailer. The use of Infinity would have achieved the desired effect.... Taksraven

For what its worth, no outage problems here in Australia. Taksraven

Just noticed that the Mechwarrior 5 thread has been closed. Fair enough if it was due to the fact that this thread already exists, but maybe this one needs a more appropriate title?? Taksraven

With this production filmed and nearing its airdate on television, its probably time for it to graduate from the remake thread to get its own thread. With American actor James Caviezel starring as Number 6 and Sir Ian McKellen as Number 2, I hope that this production is in good hands. There is going to be a panel for this show at comic con and the first footage is supposed to be aired there. The wikipedia page has some more interesting information..... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Prisoner_..._TV_miniseries) The shooting location was Swakopmund City in Namibia. I initially wondered why that was the location but then I saw some of the local architecture...... Cool eh, here is the local wikipedia page... http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swakopmund Anyway, lets hope that this is a good production of an old classic. Taksraven

Went there, read their crap, and decided even though they are annoying they are probably not worth arguing with. Rather talk to people here than try to convert stupid dickheads. Taksraven

A little clip is up for the Waters of Mars.... Taksraven

Doesn't one of the "unseen" mechs look a lot like this.....?? (Thanks to Mr March) Taksraven

Thanks. I couldn't get to sleep last night because I was so worried about that one....... :lol: Taksraven

Thanks for that. Taksraven

What happened to http://www.tokyotosho.com/ ????? Taksraven

Yeah, well, you could name just about any retro series/film and there will be a remake of it in production or already made. Taksraven

"Sheryl Nome: Building a better Basara?" One of the best thread titles, EVER. Taksraven

Penrith, Sydney, Australia. We have lots of hakes here. Taksraven

Got the chance to see the original Bay TF film for the first time in a long time today. It looks reeeeeaaallly good now when you compare it to the sequel. Taksraven

Thanks for the interesting info. Do we have any idea if Eva is reaching out to a new, younger audience or is it just the old die-hards getting into it? Taksraven
