Any Canadians have an idea where to pre-order a YF-19? Don't want to pay insane customs fees from buying from a U.S. shop.

Or Graham, anywhere in Hong Kong that has pre-orders or is just a good place to buy them? I could get my friend there to pick me up one.

Hmm, still not up to par with the SHE YF-19 IMHO, which has the better "longer" neck.

Any comments from Scorcese or the actors about what they thought about the original Infernal Affairs?

But the characters are what was being sold.

That's why Transformers repaints rapidly replaced the original japanese toys.

or maybe it's just because Hasbro/Marvel/Sunbow had the money to pony for an animated series and comics...while Takara could only manage a few blurbs in their toy catalogues about the Diaclone / Waruder war (which I think would have made a much better series).

Won't stop the fansubbers. I'll still get my fill. Is it wrong to be in love with Imouto-san when she's not real?

no roller!

The movie was awesome, but they definately set a standard that wasn't followed. Crazy/Whiney Galvatron just wasn't cool. If they had used whoever did Cyclonus's voice instead for that season, he would have been a much better character.

It was the guy who played Harry Mudd on the original Star Trek.

i remember being a young child constantly watchin the movie on VHS, it still holds up to this day as one of the best i have ever seen. War, death, and the first time i heard a cartoon say curse words, although all he said was dammit. I need to find a copy of DVD somewhere. I love you hot rod you were always my favortie.

Spike says "Oh s***! What are we going to do now?"

I never saw it in theatres, I only experienced it through VHS at the videostore on a dying Sears Viking TV from the 70s that you had to hit to display proper colors. Totally changed my life. I was like 4 or 5 years old. From that moment on, I dared to be all that I could be since I knew I had the touch and that I had the power.

I cheered the death of Optimus, I loved the new guys. I loved Season 3. It was just so much more darker sci-fi and I loved that stuff as a kid. That was my favorite part of the Transformers. I mean, I had nightmares about that Eskimo guy taking a hot iron and cutting out Perceptor's bowels my whole childhood. The 3rd season was just magical and frightening (with that eerie music) and so much more entertaining than the regular 1st and 2nd seasons.

The movie and the 3rd season have some of the best music composed of all time.

I may be off base here, but I think Kawamori has slightly alienated many of the older Macross fans with his increasingly spiritualistic projects.

It's called George Lukas syndrome.

Macross needs fresh blood.

Now whenever Grimlock says "Grimlock kick butt!" He'll actually be "kissing ass"

Put THIS in your cap and smoke it.

The yellow means Kirk and blue means Spock!

barf!

I don't know.  It looks okay, but I don't have huge hopes for it.

My problem is, the Turtles I grew up with were the ones from the cartoon, not the comic book.  Dammit, I want Krang, Bebop, Rocksteady, and a Technodrome!

I hear you, same here!

And that's the conundrum: Whether or not to appeal to the fanbase which grew up around the cartoon, or those who still hold the Turtles as they wer in the first 15 to 20 comic books?

Me? The Turtles are like Highlander. Almost ost of the later shite, including the gay-porn fest, blasphemous cartoon, are simply shut out of our minds, like all the Highlander sequels and (ugh...) TV shows.

I may be a fanboy, but I've always dreamed of doing a real Turtles story set within the firt 10 issues. I'm lame.

Well, you're in the minority because overwhelmingly, people know of the turtles as their cartoon, original movie series, videogame, and new cartoon counterparts.

The comic was never that popular.

The 5 worst things to ever happen to anime all in one!

1. CG models with cel-shading

2. Lame pastel CG coloring

3. Steam punk

4. Wierd crustacean style architecture and technology

5. Bland character design

We all saw this coming. With Shoji making Starscream's undercarriage even more F-15 accurate at the expense of accuracy to Starscream's robot mode, we are indeed getting a revisionist Starscream as per Shoji's desire to make a hyper-real F-15. So of course we are getting this color scheme:

Looking much better than Transformers so far.

Sorry, give me a more show accurate toy anyday.

Does anybody want Guitar hero? I am selling my guitar and game. Barely every used for 2 player witha friend. I don't own a PS2 myself so I'm selling the guitar.

This isn't rotoscoping. This is just some cheap filter put across the digital film. Anybody can do it in photoshop with a click of the mouse.

Stupid gimmick.

Basara simply sucks because he's recklessly endangering the lives of everyone else on the battlefield.

There he is singing happy-go-lucky as an intergalactic hippie as the PILOTS OF MACROSS 7 ARE DYING ALL AROUND HIM.

He doesn't even bloody care or try to help.

Is there going to be Top Gear this week?

Apparentely, they spent the last few weeks filming in various parts of the American south. Probably muscle car and camaro coverage.

I'd imagine Macross has the same sort of stuff. Star Trek even has inertial dampeners.

Remember when the gravity failed in DYRL and everybody got floaty and inertially and mucked about with inside?

The Sega Megadrive lockout displayed the message that the game could only be played on NTSC systems.

Also, the Megadrive and Genesis had different sized cartridge slots and the Megadrive even had a cartridge locking mechanism which was sort of like a lever connected to the power button that mechanically locked a cartridge into the system via a slot in the side of Megadrive carts.

Animated series, especially older or lower budgeted ones on HD is a laughable concept. There's no point.

There is no further level of detail that higher definition would allow you to see. If anything, it would accentuate the flaws in the animation and cause disappointment.

Lex Luthor in the movies has always been a campy Donald Trump in love with real estate, ugly fashion, and doing stupid things. Routh was misused and Lois was miscast. The kid? Don't get me started (looks at my piano).

Very disappointing Mr. Singer.

Do you think guitar hero's japanese version has anime songs on the game?

It's an American game and the Japanese would probably buy a game with real rock songs rather than anime songs.
