  1. I think Martin has done incredibly well with pacing*, considering that the series has become far longer than even he suspected. Books 1~3 are Act I, Books 4 and 5 are Act II (hence the introduction of a whole slew of new characters). I'm not sure if Act II is done yet, though. Act III should commence with either Danys returning to Westeros or the Others invading. * I've never known what people mean when they complain about "pacing."
  2. Well, there's no real meat to that story, but let's face it... every book in the series has turned out longer than GRRM has expected. Why should that stop now?
  3. Thank you! However, I prefer our Z Gundam vs. L-Gaim cast...
  4. I think it'd be more interesting for all of us to name our top movie and describe the circumstances under which we first saw it.
  5. Oh, I think most people have him on "ignore." Yeah, what a jerk... EDIT: But seriously, if you haven't seen it, y'all should watch La Dolce Vita (preferably on a big screen).
  6. Yeah... any Top Ten that doesn't have La Dolce Vita can't be on my radar. (Unless it's a list of AMERICAN movies, at which point Animal House should be the top.)
  7. Well... you should probably watch the series before the movies... maybe fifth time's the charm...?
  8. Watch out for City Hunter II... it turns into a flat-out comedy for a while. But yeah... the first series OP... MORE '80s THAN MIAMI VICE, RAMBO, AND THE BREAKFAST CLUB COMBINED!!
  9. I don't know if they're friends or not, but I did run into Tomo at Chie's first "comeback" gig in 2010.
  10. You are. But it's okay.
  11. Tokyo Disneyland will be doing a 3D projection upon the Cinderella Castle, starting in a few days... http://image.itmedia.co.jp/l/im/nl/articles/1405/27/l_tm_tdl04.jpg
  12. I think you have it backwards... Kawamori still loves designing mecha... much to the chagrin of Bandai, who'd honestly rather be making Sheryl and Ranka figures...
  13. Sorry, you;re right. I'm wrong. Everyone LOVES mecha!
  14. And how many of those "long-time fans" exist in the target market range of any new series...?
  15. Nicely, you suggested cutting out one of of the two most profitable "pillars" in favor of the least profitable. That's all I was sayin' (nicely, of course). Mecha doesn't sell. Music and girls do. I don't like it any more than you do, but that's the reality.
  16. I mean, of course I find the Macross SpeakerPodCast interesting... but not enough to, y'know, type it all out...
  17. Yep. I feel flattered!
  18. Actually... Mav just sent it to me... there IS a transcript after all. I'm impressed!! (Although they misspelled Tochiro's name.) (and they gave all of Renato's lines to Tochiro... 'cuz, y'know, those accents... how can ya tell 'em apart? )
