As I have noted before, it was clear with Shadow Chronicles that the real HG priority was showing the door to the Invid, introducing the Haydonites as the replacement enemy that HG owns completely and utterly (no legal arguments there), and then trying to flush as much continuity from the other Robotech components down the toilet. Its just a real wonder that they did not replace the RDF mecha from Mospeada with new ones that they completely owned as well, but that would have been a massive cost increase and given their track record would have looked like crap. They clearly tried the same stunt in Robotech 3000, here is a bunch of stuff that HG has created completely and we do not have anymore copyright issues with anybody else. I have no sympathy for such a cynical company. Taksraven

Look, the best colouring book of all time is the one for 101 Dalmatians. Its full of pictures of just the puppies. Lots of B&W puppies with nothing to colour. I grabbed a copy but can't find it. Taksraven

OK, I don't have a university degree in genetics to argue this stuff at the level that you seem to be taking it, but do you have the genetics degree? Is anybody here a real expert on biology or genetics?? If there do seem to be gaps in any aspect of our evolution or biology, do we have to fill these gaps with "aliens" or do we wait for more research on the topic to come up with more realistic alternatives?

2012 - The end is coming........again!

Reading a synopsis for this film and it sounds like they stole huge amounts of storyline from "When Worlds Collide"? Anybody else notice this? Taksraven -
It always astonishes me how some people do cry out for sequels for stories that clearly are meant to be over or just a one-off. And its usually those people who start screaming when the follow-ups don't match their expectations. Its easy to see what Stephen King was getting at in "Misery". Taksraven

You make a valid point and it is a form of racism. Its just a real pity that more do not see it as such, but Pseudoscience is usually good at trying to make itself seem legitimate. I was inclined to believe some of the Ancient Astronaut crap until i read the excellent "The Space Gods Revealed" at the age of 16 which debunked pretty much all of the crackpot theories. Taksraven

Been watching too many episodes of the X-Files. What proof is there that aliens exist and are here amongst us? Not trying to start a shitfight here and I am not namecalling, I just think that if we are going to get serious about talking about topics like this, the people putting the ideas forward need more evidence than "UFO researchers almost unanimously support this notion", which to me reads like a load of crap. I think that it is possible to have a relatively serious discussion about the existence of aliens in the universe in general and whether or not they have had contact/are in contact with humans, I like to try to have an open mind. But I also think it is good to discuss a topic like this with an approach that is as rational and scientific as possible. So, we start with "What hard evidence is there that humans have encountered alien species?" Taksraven (The mods will probably try to kill this discussion)

There is some footage linked over at the Macross News thread of Shoji Kawamori being interviewed in the US (Hawaii, I think) by Pali & Sachi. This got me thinking. (It happens rarely, I know) The interview also includes footage of Macross Frontier (It might have other Macross stuff, I'm not watching the whole thing) Now since this is an interview recorded on US soil and using Frontier footage, shouldn't HG serve a cease and desist notice on those who put the interview together as well as Youtube for carrying the interview. NOW, more broadly thinking. Since Youtube is primarily a US company, shouldn't HG be pursuing them in general for every little bit of footage of Macross they have on their service that is not authorised Robotech stuff? Is HG asleep at the wheel again by not pursuing this clear violation of their ownership of Macross rights in the US? Seriously, I know that this is never going to happen but it shows how full of shite HG is. Going after that Mechwarrior stuff is them really being full of crap. Taksraven

Thanks for that. A thousand posts by MEMO, generally answering himself. He really has a hard-on for Warners these days. I would like to rip a caps-lock key off a keyboard and shove it up his arse.* Taksraven *(Note: This is a joke threat. I am not really planning on carrying out any violence against MEMODOMINION or any other members of Robotech.com and I do not support or endorse anybody else attempting to carry out similar actions.)

Tragic to hear of the death of this great actor. He was great as Breaker Morant. Guess I have to get off my arse now and see the original Wicker Man. He will be missed. Taksraven

Clash of the Titans - remake teaser
taksraven replied to Vermillion21's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
And it can be voiced by Eddie Murphy!! Taksraven Now Norse mythology is one area that has not been explored enough in modern film. How about a film about Ragnarok? It would be great. Taksraven You raise an excellent point there. CG effects do look great, but we all know that they are put together in an afternoon by some twentysomething year old kid with acne. Think about Harryhausens effects, laboured over for days and weeks to create truly beautiful creations. I'm not saying that is the sort of effects that they should be using now, but they do have a certain charm, in the same way that the model and puppet work of Gerry Andersons team making classic series like Thunderbirds, Captain Scarlet, UFO and Space:1999 do. Personally I don't think we need this remake, but then again my opinion on remakes is well represented here. And yes, I thought it did look a lot like 300. Taksraven WHY????!!!!! Taksraven -
What has always amazed me about both Star Blazers and BOTP was the inconsistent approach that was taken to editing out violence in both productions. A lot of deaths were edited out in both shows but a hell of a lot were left in. (Including some very gruesome deaths. BOTP had its faults but I would still prefer to watch it rather than Eagle Riders and G-Force. Taksraven

Worst Science Fiction Film of All Time
taksraven replied to JELEINEN's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
Haven't seen it properly so I must reserve judgement, but what I saw was pretty nuts. Considering the sauce material I would be more inclined to just put it in the category of "Philip K. Dick was one of the most insane people alive of all time" To be fair, he did do better stories though. And the insanity has since his death..... Taksraven
