Unless Tats has the ability to pull the rights from HG, wether HG wants them to or not, then HG in effect owns them for all intents and purposes. The only right they don't appear to have (or have not exercised) is the right to transfer what they bought.

He said that the old FX do not hold up today. Not that they were not good for their day. Personally I think the old FX hold up fairly well, other then the baggy jumpsuits that looked like oversize diapers - and that might just have been due to the oversize actors playing the guards...

I didn't mean the deal between BW and Tatsunoko which was required for BW to get the show off the ground, I meant the one between Tats (or BW - or whoever it was) and HG, there was no need for them to sign away so many merchandising rights for so long a time. I could see if the Japanese companies had a clause that allowed HG to use the rights but not "own" them (not talking about the copyright issues, just the merchandising rights).
-
No - in this case it simply indicates that BW (or whoever it was in Japan) signed a very BAD deal with HG back in the day. Does any company in Japan sign open-ended deals like that any longer?

I was not here in 2005, and your post rambles on too long for me to bother with figuring out what you want help with... -
Rise of the Planet of the Apes - Opens August 5.
Dynaman replied to taksraven's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
Ditto, one of the things I liked from "28 Days Later" is the fact that the do-gooder animal rights people caused the release of the epidemic. Back to Apes - the Ape Jumping at the helicopter reminds me of another movie about a Megashark... -
I just saw the original Tron for the first time (well, most of it) a couple weeks ago. Looking chunky was the name of the game in that movie, the suits looked like baggy sweatsuits with neon stickers on them. (Yes I'm being a bit unfair, no I don't care).

Rise of the Planet of the Apes - Opens August 5.
Dynaman replied to taksraven's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
After the stupidity of the "Apes" remake I'll wait for this on home video. To be fair, it probably will not be worse then any of the "Apes" sequals... -
What Current Anime Are You Watching Version v3.0
Dynaman replied to wolfx's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
I'll have to buck the trend and say it was deadly dull, and far too disjointed. -
Shortest possible answer - for profit or not for profit makes no difference, usage of copyright or trademark is at the pleasure of the copyright or trademark holder. (within the confines of the law, so parody can not legally be stopped for instance)
-
Putting a stop to non-profit fan works is not stupid, in HG's situation it is pretty much required. Once they know about a derivative work they have to put a stop to it or they could end up losing some copyright protection.

He doesn't even know what he is trying to say, so translation is impossible.

HG should have gotten Bioware to do there Robotech games...

I had blocked the fact that even exists out of my mind, what were we talking about...

I see Arnold has topped "Last Action Hero" in his personal worst category. I used to think I could watch Arnold in anything (excepting LAH of course) too.

Starblazers on SyFy. Coming April 21, 2011.
Dynaman replied to UN Spacy's topic in Anime or Science Fiction
I have the first couple discs of the second season, but the reproduction quality is dreadful, with luck the version shown on SciFi will be better (I can hope...) -
What Current Anime Are You Watching Version v3.0
Dynaman replied to wolfx's topic in Hall Of The Super Topics
It's certainly not new, and I'm not watching it yet - but I will be watching Star Blazers starting April 21st. http://www.starblazers.com/home.php -
How can you be so right and so wrong all in one line? I'll grant that Episode 3 was far far better then the other prequals, but that really isn't saying much. The whiney Darth Vader bit just killed it.
-
For the old series (I mean Hartnell in this case) it was pretty good. A lot of the older shows are very slowly paced, and this suffers from that a little bit as well. (of the Hartnell episodes the one my friend remembers most was the one with the Aztecs - they apparently used cricket bats to make their swords, although I should not make fun of them since it made a pretty good imitation of an Aztec sword)

Why? You know they will not answer them, so asking is a waste of time. Plenty of other Anime (aniation for those who insist SC is not anime) in the sea, no need to bother over a show that is currently moribund.

They already did that with the very first doctor in the episode "The Chase". But since they already have 3+ versions of Atlantis on the show then why not?

Don't forget Hamlet. (sure it's a play, but it's had a zillion movie versions.) I was going to list another scifi movie but it's slipped from my mind now.
