Question: When did you start realizing the franchise wasn't going anywhere post-2000 "reboot" under the Yunes? Was it after you bought all the variant covers of the Love & War comics, not realizing it was a very boring retread of the show? Was it when your Alpha fighter toy broke apart after you pulled it out of the box? Was it during the hoopla surrounding Shadow Chronicles? Or the film itself that was a disappointment? Was it because you got annoyed by Robotech Master's talkshoe show? Was it because of that lame Halo-ripoff Mospeada game? Did you get turned off by the legal ramblings with Big West? Or was it simply because you got tired of Tommy Yune's promise of fame and awesomeness in a post-Hollywood Robotech world?

Have you ever seen the Harmony Gold offices? What goes on in there?
-
Gosh. You'll still get invites to the Robotech LAM premiere when it comes, right?
-
Seriously, how can you NOT be snarky with companies like Harmony Gold and the lunatic fringe fanbase? Herobot mentioned they're "staffing up" as well? Have they finally hired back MEMO as the office security guard?
-
Even my insurance company issues out calendars like its no big deal. It's called customer service. Why does a calendar have to be one of their big announcements? Shouldn't this be something they issue every year? And why the hell are they still using Tommy's stiff 10 year-old art? What the hell does Tommy Yune do 365 days in a year? I'm sad and pissed at how lame this f****** franchise turned out to be. What a disappointment! THANK GOD FOR MACROSS!!!!

I've got my money it's that pesky 'webmaster' of theirs
-
I can tell McKeever is a big fan of The Secret. And racism. Don't forget that. * One thing I'm learning from his feed though is that while Harmony Gold are godawful amateurs in business, they can throw one hell of a party. This merely reaffirms my believe that these jokers are in the wrong business. They want the fame and glory that goes with running a purported "megafranchise" without actually doing the hard creative work.

AKIRA LIVE ACTION MOVIE = Life Support?
chrisk replied to Macross007's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
90M could be a small figure because they're not hiring big-name stars like Christian Bale or Brad Pitt to headline the picture... I believe most of the budget will be applied on the cast's make up to make them look more Japanese. Can't imagine Hedlund passing himself off as a man named "Kaneda" unless they don't care ala race-bending in Last Airbender. The supporting cast should fare better though since they're used to playing weirdos. /sarcasm -
This week on Robotech McKeever shows off Robotech's immense popularity: http://robotechnews....tos-online.html Robotech DVDs are a success - and futher proof Harmony Gold doesn't need to put out original content McKeever continues to post about Hollywood's woes. In other words, no LAM buddy? Meanwhile, Akira movie is greenlit with 90M++ budget. What next? Gigantor?

A TRIBUTE TO TOMMY YUNE The 2011 con season seems to be slowing down, and so I wish to write a small tribute to the one, the only, Tommy Yun. ======================================================================================= http://whatsnext.blogs.cnn.com/2011/07/20/my-fanboy-moment-robotech-honcho/ Who knew that this single moment in time would set forth an unstoppable chain of events that would eventually make Robotech the powerhouse retro brand it is now? Thank you, Tommy Yune. Thank you for recycling art you did ten years ago and slapping it into every single merchandise you can think of, since you clearly can't be bothered to make new stuff. Thank you for revitalizing Robotech with brand new stories that while trite and hackneyed, the point is you tried. I wish to extend a hand to your brother, Steve Yun, even though all he seems to do is ride on your "success". And ban people on the website. And I would like to thank you for introducing the world to the marketing coordinator like Kevin McKeever, for without him, Robotech wouldn't be as funny to make fun of. Thank you Tommy! Thank you for everything! Go go Robo-tech!!!

I've always wondered what a c-beams glitters look like near the Tannhäuser Gate...

Okay, so they don't listen to us all the time, but at least we're a big enough "influence" to some of their more obsessive staffers (as evidenced by McKeever's weird quotes on his lousy blog, a blog which mind you, rips off from previously more informative, more insightful blog). Good riddance to LLA. And now you have none of that except here. Weird. If they value criticism of their work so much, why make it one of their company's mission to ban and suppress, and even mock it at some point? I think the DoZ's ultimate purpose was to get their lazy "webmaster" to make a lame banner on their dated site.
-
I'm gonna make an obvious guess that the LLA redub was originally Carl Macek's idea. That got scrapped partially because they didn't want to pay Michael Bradley (Lancer's original singing voice) royalties, it looked dated as hell, and partially because this thread thought it sucked(?). Hmm... are we the only place on the internet that cares to critique Harmony Gold's latest moves? (If so, they haven't been listening to us about those boring Powerpoint presentations...)
-
What I want to know is, is there any truth to the Mospeada OVA redub? I thought it was actually happening...
-
No. Let Robotech go away for a long, long time (I'd say five years). Stop hoping that the stuff that comes out from the House of Yune will be worthwhile, because they won't! Not now, not ever. Not while the same people and weirdo fanboys are running the joint for the next ten years.
-
Seems they threw everything and the kitchen sink. I won't be surprised if this sells out though, since Robotech fans are starving! They don't have the... luxury of other fanbases. Still, a hundred bucks for extras is still a hundred bucks for stuff that will eventually find their way to Youtube or some wiki page. In any case, I've seen bits of the remasters and they're pretty dreadful. I think I'll hold on to my six-year old China-made bootleg boxset DVD which I bought from a place called Quiapo...

Not sure how much you can get from a show hosted by a delusional fanboy interviewing a dishonest weirdo... But we'll see. Can't wait to see Steve Yun's yearly Audience Panorama Shot of Doom. Ultimately, it doesn't matter since whatever they're doing pales in comparison to everything else going around in SDCC, and they know it.
-
So say we all. Sweet collection by the way! The press are dubbing it a "monster movie", and its about "...a group of humans who use piloted robots to defend earth from an extraterrestrial force." It stars Charlie Hunnam, Idris Elba and Charlie Day and is being released by Legendary Pictures and Warner Bros this 2013. Gee. Good thing Robotech fans have a sidequel this 2012, eh?
-
I hear ya. Did anybody... recognize you there? Make eye-contact with anybody on panel there? Any awkward conversations? That'd be awesome.
-
Those same dudes cheered when they heard a Reba West song... I think it's safe to say they're fans
-
Well, the stuff Toynami got 'right' (i.e. the Beta/Tlead and the bikes) were molds "borrowed" from the Japanese toy companies, right? Sorry Southern Cross fans, but would you really pay hundreds of dollars for a known lemon Hovertank and even moreso the Space Chopper? I know I wouldn't. Shows how much people care about a Yellow Dancer 'sidequel', I say.
