  1. 100% true, but they did all that stupid stuff with much more Panache - and the original was most certainly not taking itself too seriously. Besides, as my ex-governer says, "I ain't got time to bleed"
  2. Although Parris Island is certainly a bit much (don't want to kill the actors before the movie starts after all) the idea of a boot camp is not new - a two week camp was used for the "Saving Private Ryan" cast and the "Band of Brothers" cast.
  3. Thread Necromancy... Just rented it from Netflix, not bad but certainly not good. My main quible (in a movie that could be ripped apart any number of ways) was that they are on an alien planet - that had a totally different day/night cycle, and there was no obvious difference between that planet and Earth till they got out of the tree cover? An even bigger gripe is that a single Predator wiped out Arnorld's team in the first movie (and Arnold's team was badass, not like this group of goons) but in the sequal 3 tougher/meaner predators don't do any better. But for silly fun the movie it fine.
  4. They also needed to free up the cash to work on the BSG prequal. SyFy is also getting a little less SciFi every passing year.
  5. SciFi said that next season will be their last, the site said that there will be 10 episodes.
  6. Personally I thought Arnie's face looked kinda dodgy in T-Salvation (but I did like the movie overall). What they should do is re-release "The Last Starfighter" with updated computer animation, that would be worth seeing (OK - Maybe not, since the movie itself stunk)
  7. You are VERY good at your job! I don't think RT can get much less succesful and still be kicking.
  8. I've never seen part 3, but considering how much more I like Part II, versus the first part I would have to say I have no complaints about the change in art style or directors... Part II is on of my favorite Anime or all time, even the english dub where the commander of the warship was voiced by Robotech's Exedore VA was great. (I should look for that on DVD, have not seen it in 20+ years now)
  9. Finished watching the second disk yesterday, I thought it was a good show as well. And yes, Lots of sex and violence... The English cast was very good all the way through, not a stinker in the bunch. Only better English cast work I've seen is the stuff Disney brought over lately (Nausica being top notch, Howl's moving castle is excellent as well)
  10. Sentinels has been ready to go for 20+ years now...
  11. In that case, no news is good news - since that is all we ever get from HG...
  12. Beat me to the punch on that. More Yamato is always good news (it does have to improve though). Hopefully the director's cut of Rebirth will take care of the jumpiness of the plot too.
  13. That's been true for almost every game ever made, other then Counter Strike and Day of Defeat. I even remember trying to be a sniper in the original Delta Force game and getting no hits unless someone was AFK...
  14. I read somewhere else that Yamato made 11 Million USD on opening week. Is that true? And if so is that considered a lot of money in Japan? Here in the US it would be labelled a bomb for that kind of opening weekend, but I have no idea what is expected in Japan.
  15. Yes - look at the victory celebration at the end of almost any war (for the winners), WWI and WWII spring readily to mind - the most people killed in conflicts ever, up to that point and the celebrations when they were done were huge.
  16. That's easy - when I come here I know I'll be seeing things about the topic at hand, when going to facebook I see a million posts of "look at me fuzzy toes" for every one that is on a topic I am actually interested in. I suppose there may be some kind of filter to keep that from happening, but I can't be arsed to look for it.
  17. That is because they break one of Anime's unwritten rules - which paraphrased from my Mekton rulebook gooes. "Anime does not have bug like aliens, because nobody wants to kiss a bug"
  18. From the show it is obvious they must "forget" certain defenses over time - it goes without saying that they must have gone up against one of those old Zentradi battle suits before (from the episode where Alto is going through his initiation battle)
  19. Heard of it, but never saw it! This was licensed by the toy/model company that used the Robotech name to sell the models - this was before Robotech the series ever existed. (which reminds me, how did HG end up with the Robotech name - never mind, don't really want to know)
  20. No - and I just looked for the word Meisa and didn't see anything. (I can't get to youtube here at work either, have to watch that later) Besides - the whole point is to not bother me with facts! I WANT MY YAMATO MOVIE! (even if it turns into a big stinking pile of dog excrement) (side note - I did not like the new Gamilas ship designs seen in the opening battle, but I still want it)
  21. The early dialog in the show between Ozma and the NUNS forces doesn't help, Ozma basically calls them incompatent idiots. (At least the subs I watched) Seeing the NUNS forces get trounced lends some creadence to this. What the viewers don't find out till later is that the Vajra very quickly (in BORG like style) adapt defenses to any threat - and by the time of Frontier's start the Vajra had already been up against NUNS equipment before. The SMS can adapt to this, since they get to test new stuff and deploy it without an excess of paperwork, while the NUNS - well...
  22. Star Blazers website has more info about this movie and the Rebirth movie. The site below also says that the new movie did very well at the Box Office, that it has been set for debut in other countries, and that US distributors are interested in it... http://augustragone.blogspot.com/2010/12/space-battleship-sails-into-world.html
  23. Only one disc left (have to keep a better watch on my NetFlix queue). No excuse not to watch the rest then. Seperate note - thanks everyone for the help in tracking down Orguss.
