Pat Payne Posted December 15, 2004 Posted December 15, 2004 That nitwit is up to his elbows in TV production, and yet he can still find the time to be an arse here on MW? Bloody SAG/AFTRA...
muswp1 Posted December 15, 2004 Posted December 15, 2004 (edited) Those two morons and their good buddy wrylac deserve each other. BTW, exactly what people wanted a website dedicated to that blowhole Carl Macek anyway??? Edited December 15, 2004 by muswp1
Apollo Leader Posted December 15, 2004 Posted December 15, 2004 I was told recently about HG (or at least Tom Bateman and a few others at robotech.com) setting up this Carl Macek page. Part of the reason why this page was set up was so that that his detractors couldn't go out and set up a page for the sole purpose of bashing him. HG has picked up a number of other domain pages, some of which I think we'll see going public soon.
Apollo Leader Posted December 15, 2004 Posted December 15, 2004 (edited) Sorry but I also found this.....BankofKev Well, I see that someone else has finally figured out who the latest employee at HG is. Kevin told me this about a month ago or so, so this is old news to me. There is suppose to be a formal announcement soon. and before I forget... BAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNKKKKKKKYYYYYY!!!!!!

Wes Posted December 15, 2004 Posted December 15, 2004 Hey, is this the same troll who was always trying to start crap here all the time? Banky, is that old guy with yet the comprehension of a 15 year old???? Yeah, with that website, it almost gives him a sembleance of a decent human being...ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, deceit! Anyways, is it just me, or does that picture off the Macek page remind you of one of the creappyier Fatal Frame ghost?
areaseven Posted December 15, 2004 Posted December 15, 2004 Hey, is this the same troll who was always trying to start crap here all the time? Banky, is that old guy with yet the comprehension of a 15 year old???? Yup, it's none other than the racist pig himself.
Neova Posted December 16, 2004 Posted December 16, 2004 OK call me ignorant but why all the hate for Carl Macek? Is it because he took 3 different anime series and cobbled a story to string it all together? Despite the opinion if it was good or bad, it still made history in terms of outside of Japan anime awareness. Hell, I saw that the whole damn show on TV show and it was my first intro to Macross. And this Bankofkev guy... Who da f*ck is he? I just visited that blog and it was a riot. Like watching a re-run handyman episode from In Living Color. Not fanning the flames or stirring the pot but the hating here is thick sometimes. I guess it wouldn't be MW without the it.
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted December 16, 2004 Posted December 16, 2004 bankofkev was a guy who went out of his way to say the MPC was the best VF-1 toy ever created by man and would never say anything else was better. He would also say it was more playable than the 1/48(very debatable and you guys know my stance on this) and how while the MPC stays up, he "once saw a bandai fall over". And how the MPC was more canon to the cartoon thqan the 1/48 was and how it was obvious the 1/48 was a prebuilt model kit, and flamed others for disagreeing. When the 1/48 first came out this whole flame war started all due to him at one point. I kid u not. All this stuff happened.
JB0 Posted December 16, 2004 Posted December 16, 2004 OK call me ignorant but why all the hate for Carl Macek? Is it because he took 3 different anime series and cobbled a story to string it all together? Despite the opinion if it was good or bad, it still made history in terms of outside of Japan anime awareness. I think that's debatable, really. Voltron stuck with me in a way Robotech didn't. And what REALLY got me looking at anime was (shamefully enough) Sailor Moon. Largely because it was the first one I recognized as "anime" and not just cartoons in general. Hell, I saw that the whole damn show on TV show and it was my first intro to Macross. And after Sailor Moon I was reintroudced to Robotech, started doing some research, found out about it's deep dark secret, and became a true Macross fan.
JsARCLIGHT Posted December 16, 2004 Posted December 16, 2004 I myself loathe Carl Macek for the work he did after Robotech. Pretty much every project the man touched he found a way to grind it up in such a way that made you wince. Either through edits, horrid voice acting, picking licenses no one really wanted, etc. etc. etc. Back in college when I was a huge anime head I and the other anime heads called anything released by Streamline or Macek as being "Macekered". Compare the overall quality and feel of a Streamline dubbed only VHS release from it's heyday against other higher quality subtitled releases of the time and you'll see my point. Even when Robotech was on TV in 1985 I knew it was "not the pure form" of the shows. Macek did a barely tollerable job of gluing the shows together and yet people keep trying to praise him as some sort of anime pioneer. I think Sandy Frank did more for anime than Macek. SF gave us Gatchaman and other more notable shows far before Robotech.
Blaine23 Posted December 16, 2004 Posted December 16, 2004 Banky... what a tool. Macek... same thing, really. So, did BoK work for HG when he ran amok here or was he recently upgraded from lickspittle-wannabe to lackey?
Mechamaniac Posted December 16, 2004 Posted December 16, 2004 So, did BoK work for HG when he ran amok here or was he recently upgraded from lickspittle-wannabe to lackey? Actually, I think he's pulling duty these days as Macek's personal ball washer.

After Apollo Leader's comment Well, I see that someone else has finally figured out who the latest employee at HG is. I was wondering how far BoK's tongue was up HG's *** to get that job
gerwalk25 Posted December 16, 2004 Posted December 16, 2004 (edited) I think Sandy Frank did more for anime than Macek. SF gave us Gatchaman and other more notable shows far before Robotech. Ditto. That's how I got into BOTP/Gatchaman and anime in general. Sandy Frank also contributed to The Fresh Prince of BelAir (check out the end credits on any FP episode).

Dat Pinche Haro! Posted December 16, 2004 Posted December 16, 2004 looking thru bankofkevin's blog or whatever seemed like the crys of some jerk just craving attention he can do whatever he wants and complain as much as he wants...i honestly don't give a rats ass what he says...we're a community (or a disfunctional family at times ) i know he's watching us right now just feeding off the "fuel" we give him...all in all, he's just another nerd taking a freakin' cartoon show (and it's products) too seriously
Solscud007 Posted December 16, 2004 Posted December 16, 2004 (edited) What a friggin' smeghead. He's sure all full of himself, isn't he?[ HAHAH ROFLMAO you said Smeghead!!!!!! Edited December 16, 2004 by Solscud007
NERV Posted December 16, 2004 Posted December 16, 2004 i read 4 pages of the blog, he seems to constantly bitch about howard dean and enjoys saying his name, not worth reading, altho i suppose 2 notes is better than one
do not disturb Posted December 16, 2004 Posted December 16, 2004 why bash the guy because he created a story? its not like any of us created a story like robotech, nor did we even "borrow" a story that we rehashed to be something else. its really easy to sit on in the stands and bash someone when you yourself haven't done jack shiet for the anime world. so write your own story, sell it, air it, then let us rip into you for not making live up to our standards. let the man live i say.

phoenix01 Posted December 16, 2004 Posted December 16, 2004 What Macek's website should say: "Through decades of tireless work at Harmony [Greed], Streamline Pictures, and ADV Films, Carl has [deprived us of] the magic and enjoyment of [Macross and other] anime [by subjecting us to poor storylines, whiny voice actors, and lawsuits] to generations of [unsuspecting] fans in America." Isn't it also amazing how BankofKev, who started life as a lighting design major (with a minor in basketweaving, I'm sure), could get a job as "Operations Coordinator" with HG? Just because he did an "audit of Robotech's television ratings and viewer demographics during its original run in the 1980s." How could his "...analysis of the ratings in a cost effective manner along with his years of production experience" make him "a natural candidate for the Robotech team"? At least not without a lot of lubrication... It's probably a dream come true for him.

At least not without a lot of lubrication... Funniest post EVER As much as I love Macrossworld... its not life engrossing. I'd say devoting blog space towards ranting about the people on here is the epitomy of hurting. I mean seriously, are you that childish about getting ripped apart on here that you have to self justify yourself on your own blog? Edited December 16, 2004 by Noyhauser
Shin Densetsu Kai 7.0 Posted December 16, 2004 Posted December 16, 2004 LOL great point noyhauser. I think day by day he will waste time quoting us time after time. Why tomorrow I would be surprised if he DIDN'T!! But either he will or he won't. certainly what we say AFFECTS him. LOL. Then again that is stating the obvious. I'm surprised he hasn't come by and tried to rip everyone a new one about the Alpha MPC like he did with the first MPC's.. Oh and haro he is watching us. He reposts a lot of what we say and rebuffles it on his blog.
EXO Posted December 17, 2004 Posted December 17, 2004 yawn........ yeah... I don't see a big deal... so some guy got a job...
Noyhauser Posted December 17, 2004 Posted December 17, 2004 I love some of these quotes from his blog. Some of these will go down in geek history No doubt Macrossworlders can not wait for me to finish washing Carl Macek's balls. *snort* Nerdlaff*snort* Reading his blog just screams self absorbed geek to me.... I mean your a " Operations Coordinator for Harmony Gold USA." Wow... be proud. You've really hit the big times. You really had to bold it and put it right at the top of your page so everybody could see. Also, you work for a company which hasn't produced a real piece of original content... well since.... ever. Your company rips off character and mechanical designs from Japanese animations from the 1980s. It also uses underhanded techniques to keep your customers from buying (or even knowing about) a far superior product from Japan. Thumbs up to that. We wanted to control the various domain nemaes of the Robotech universe. It allows us to support the main RT.com website and ensures the overall health of the franchise. The last thing we would want is to have mospeada.com be a porn site or something. I wish it was a porn site... at least I'd be getting some gratification watching big breasted hotties instead of clawing my ears out to reba west's voice. Oh and last year called, they want their howard dean jokes back.
