  1. I agree. We aren't talking about Macross 7 afterall!
  2. DYRL? is a "retelling" or "re-imaging" of the original TV series. I could be wrong, but it doesn't sound like you are destined to be a Macross fan.
  3. From IGN.com Nemo The White Lion? Here we go again. Disney hit with another plagiarism accusation. January 30, 2004 - A Paris court will hear a suit on February 17 brought by a French author who claims that Pixar Animation Studios stole the ideas in his children's book for the movie Finding Nemo. The story hit in late December when Author Franck le Calvez demanded an explanation from Disney, which distributed the film, and has been covered much more extensively in the foreign press than in the U.S. le Calvez lodged an outline of his work Pierrot Le Poisson Clown (Pierrot the Clown Fish) with a French authors' copyright association in 1995. The illustrated book had a number of elements similar to the Oscar-nominated Pixar film. In it, Pierrot loses a parent - in this case his father - to an evil predator and is separated from his remaining parent. After a journey described in one report as "enormous in its Homeric proportions," where he meets a surgeon fish and a cleaner shrimp, he is reunited with his mother. le Calvez made the rounds to French studios trying to sell the idea but gave up in 2000 and decided to publish it himself. He paid $71,000 of his own money to published 2,000 copies of the book in November 2002, with illustrations by Robin Delpuech and Thierry Jagodzinski. The book was published by France's Editions Flaven Scene, and the entire print run sold out in a month. le Calvez told the European press he was forced to take legal action after French bookshops stopped stocking his children's book because of fears they might be sued by Disney, even though his book came out before the film. At least one European Web site was still selling it, though, for 14.50 Euros. Even though the book was published in 2002 and Finding Nemo came one year later, it took Pixar several years to develop the film. le Calvaz's attorney Pascal Kamina told a reporter for The Hollywood Reporter he believes the story found its way to the U.S. after it was submitted to French studios in 1995. This has not been a good week for Walt Disney Studios as it is. Yesterday, Pixar announced it was ending its lucrative (for Disney) business arrangement and seeking a new distribution partner. When asked for a comment, a Disney representative said he would get back to us on Monday.
  4. well, Van Helsing rocks, but its Van Helsing, NOT Van Hagar!! That's Van Halen II, Isamu, those were the Roth days, and that was Van Halen, not Van Hagar.
  5. I kinda figured it had to do with the fact Max was a cheating bastard. But that's just me.
  6. I was one of those who bought the buggy originals and later had them replaced for free. I have all 4 discs plus the box.
  7. Actually I think God answered my prayers (along with every anti-Yankee fan out there) for that 2001 World Series. Everyone knows God is a Yankees fan. Didn't you see Bruce Almighty? Somewhere along the line this thread got hijacked...
  8. From the Macross Compedium 2010 May Mass cloning of people as well as animals and plants through the use of Protoculture technology begins. Start of nature reclaimation project. Earth ecosystem rehabilitation begins 2030 December Because of the increase in hereditary children's diseases due to the overuse of cloning, mass cloning is terminated. 20 years of mass cloning is ALOT of people.
  9. I buy into the whole "Macross II is outside of the continuity of Macross" argument. For the sake of argument, the world of Macross II doesn't seem to have grown all that much since the end of Space War I. I doubt they could bring the sheer amount of firepower the the UN Spacy of the main continuity has.
  10. No, I won't. I paid for it once already, I'll be damned if I am going to pay for it again.
  11. Personally, I think Shawn should work with Leb here to do a general reworking of the site. Get things back up and running.
  12. While we have God here, I would like to ask him just WTF he was doing in 2001 in the 9th inning of Game 7 of the World Series. He get up for a pee break or something? Hey, wasn't there some rumor of Pioneer getting the rights to Macross Zero?
  13. It is good to see God is a Macross fan, though.
  14. OK who is this joker? Personally, I don't think calling God a joker is that good of an idea.
  15. http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?...t=ST&f=26&t=153 Happy reading!
  16. First off, please put it back. Secondly... The definition of a tattletale is "a scandalmonger or gossip" or "a person who tells tales about others". To tattle, which is to gossip, and tale, which is a story or narrative... I don't think reporting an off topic post has anything to do with this. Just wanted to pass that along.
  17. Mechmadness was worse. They actually went out looking for "girl" boards to harrass.
  18. Its a Japanese toy, its within the rules, and it has precedence. Care to try again?
  19. No, it shows you are desperate to attack me any way you can, and your example is a joke.
  20. The thread was off topic, and was locked. End of discussion. Its still beyond me why the thread was created in the first place, if they knew it was going to be locked. I think that really says alot.
  21. Cyclones are so under appreciated when it comes to transforming anime mecha.
