Yes, I am sure about that. Your example is poor at best, if not completely off topic.

Prime!

You forgot to mention the flattened roll of duct tape he always has on him! Hell, it should be listed under "Cast". Don't you know, MacGyver can fix ANYTHING with duct tape.

Little know fact: MacGyver's first name is Angus.

You know, based on average interenet reviews I had decided to never watch Macross 7. But after this thread, combined with the thought that I endured Macross II when I was 12 (which was a feat, let me tell you), maybe I'll give it a watch. Max and Milia were my favorites anyways.

Macross 7 is genreally a love it or hate it show.

People have very strong opinions about it. The "hate its" are just a lot louder, as is usual.

not louder just more of them

No, definitely louder.

Judging by past MacrossWorld polls, I vote for "more of them".

The public is fickle my friend and the only thing that matters to the majority of the population is what's big "NOW". I always like to put it in perspective of female opinion, since most of the girls I date always seem to have a greater grasp of trends than myself. They tell me The Matrix and Lord of the Rings were cool.

Any female who tells you that The Matrix is "cool" needs to be dumped immediately. Chances are she is either 15, or has an IQ under 80. Or both.

Duke, I bet it just tears you apart inside to know either Shawn or one of the early mods thought of Star Trek as THE representative of western Sci-Fi....

Not at all, Major. But don't think I didn't get a chuckle out of you thinking so. Actually, I was rather expecting it... If trekkies are one thing, its predictible. Your response it pretty much along the same lines of why everyone laughs when we realize you can speak klingon, and you really don't get what's so funny.

Edit: If you want to change it, why not call it "From Akira to Star Wars"

Wouldn't it be better to go with an 'A-Z' theme to encompass all of Anime and Sci Fi. Thus I suggest: -

'From Akira to Zardoz'

Graham

YES!!! YES!!!

The genius of Connery!

ZARDOZ

Preach on, Father Jack, preach on!

both dune mini series are also pretty damn good.

I prefer the original Dune movie over the mini-series, and I've read the book. The mini-series just looked so... cheap. The movie was just so rich, it had so much character.

If you guys diss me and I'm not allowed to talk about Gunbuster here anymore, I will leave. And don't say it's not relevant, Mr March. There are tons of Gunbuster fans on this site. In fact, I talk to more Gunbuster fans here than anywhere else. I think you should just leave well enough alone. Someone is going to post what they want to that's science-fiction or anime related regardless of what you change the title to.

Edit: If you want to change it, why not call it "From Akira to Star Wars"

Oh, come on now, who doesn't like Gunbuster? Hell, I might even like Gunbuster more than Macross. I probably like it better than any other anime.

Akira to Star Wars works too.

Time Bandits and The City of Lost Children... good stuff, definitely recommend them.

I don't really know if you can call The Matrix "popular" anymore. I think people have seen it for what it is, alot of hype that went nowhere. Episode III will still pull down between 300 and 400 million. The DVD sales were huge. Star Wars still gets alot of attention in the media. To say no one cares about Star Wars anymore is a tad silly.

SCI/fi: Gundam (politics, machines,etc)

  Fantasy: LOTR (ancient legends, epic story)

But I´m not looking for Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Gundam or Matrix or stuff like that.

LOL, good job, Temucano. Keep up the good work.

I´m looking for new movies. I watched LOTR, Gundam, etc. That´s the reason why I posted this thread.

LOL, I thought you were contridicting yoruself. I was like

SCI/fi: Gundam (politics, machines,etc)

Fantasy: LOTR (ancient legends, epic story)

But I´m not looking for Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, Gundam or Matrix or stuff like that.

LOL, good job, Temucano. Keep up the good work.

Oh man, forget the 21 for playablity or stability. LOL, don't even bother.

The original Battlestar Galactica.

You know what the kicker here is? I wasn't rude, I wasn't bombastic, I wasn't being nasty. I even inculuded a smiley emoticon in my post. I just made a suggestion that really isn't some big major deal, and that other's seem to agree with.

Yoshinol for everyone!

So Togo, what do you have cookin' up for us next week?

I was thinking of posting up some pictures of me giving it to you in the can.

Whats so confusing?

The size of your tomato head.

Come on, lets here it for "From Gundam to Star Wars"

Overall I happily recommend Macross 7 for all its flaws as a legitimate Macross sequel. Let's Fire!!!

"Lets Fire!"?..... hmmmmmmm. Sounds flaming.

It burns when I pee!

That would probably be more appropiate, yes. Good call.

Jemstone, I'm not sexist, I only wish more women were fans of something like Macross. This is my pathetic offer of a truce, I didn't mean most of what I said. I was only trying a little 'see how you like it' crap. IMHO, you came into this thread with fairly hostile intent and I felt it was uncalled for. You can think I'm wrong or thin skinned. Maybe I am.

Personally, the only problem I see with Jem is that she is lacking a good avatar. This needs to be remedied.

Maybe I'm wrong, but there is a hell of alot more Star Wars fans around here (or out there) than Trek fans. How about changing the subtitle to what it SHOULD say?
