    I didn't know she had a clubbed foot either...

    I look at the same numbers and come up with a totally different result, but whatever.

    True - but it's hard to imagine anything where a Gerwalk capable aircraft would be more usable then a helicopter (on the one hand) or as cost effective as a jet (on the other). The problem with a Gerwalk capable plane is that any of the parts that need to go from Jet propulsion out the back to downward thrust will require beefing up the components thus making them heavier or more expensive (or both). Even the JSF, which has vectored thrust, is only using the VERTOL mode in the Marine configuration.

    The number just don't bear that assertion out. RT.com and it's other related site only have a couple hundred members that are active, there might be a couple thousand who logged on at one point and never posted anything too. MW has what appears to be 100 or so active users, and there has to be more then 1000 Macross Fans in the English speaking world. So at best the online community is a very vocal minority. RT.com has maybe a dozen active posters, say a 100 daily lurkers, the SC DVD had to have sold 5000+ copies (Can't imagine that would produce fewer then that, the cost to unit ratio would be prohibitive), so by that measure the RT online community is once again a pittance of the RT fandom.

    Birds and Planes fly in very different ways - all the motive power for a bird is in the chest and wing muscles, for aircraft it is the thrust out the back (provided by engines in various spots in various planes). Birds also need the legs for walking on the ground where a plane's equivalent is a small set of wheels. Although it might be possible someday it would never be practical, even the much easier to do tilt-rotor aircraft is only just becomming operational after a decades long development time.

    So - what is one more Retcon the the RT universe?

    I have not seen Wings, I should put it on my Netflix queue. (that terrible TV show from the nineties spoiled the name and good reputation you see) Blue Max - true, but EVERYONE uses EVERYONE in that movie - part of it's charm. That and the hero does some non-heroic things along the way.

    Love Live Alive, unlike MinMei's VA the guy that did Lancer CAN actually sing.

    You have to be baiting me, there is no other way to explain that question.

    I have already said why multiple times. But one last time. [EDIT] - forgot to mention, a difference of opinion is not a refutation. The Script stinks, the plot and characters are shallow and unrealistic (with the exception of Goose), the aerial combat is not as good as everyone who likes the film says (I've seen much better in the two other films I mentioned), the character conflict is forced and childish "I don't like you, your dangerous", "Yeah that's right I'm dangerous" - how can people stand to listen to dreck like that? For me personally it is a Tom Cruise competition movie (along with that racing movie and the bartender movie) and I despise them for being moronic at best, a total insult to humanity at worst. (Give Tom a good script, like Born on the Fourth of July, or Valkyrie and you have something, the competition movies are just an excuse for mindless stunts (or mindless cocktail glass acrobatics) One last edit - Roger Ebert sums up this movie best, and what he says about the character interaction is the #1 reason why this movie is a dog. For my part, I don't agree with him about the arial portion being great, it was good but not great. http://rogerebert.suntimes.com/apps/pbcs.dll/article?AID=/19860516/REVIEWS/605160302/1023

    If they paint a pretty enough picture the armed forces would give them a large discount and allow their pilots and planes (Germany has a very good aggresor squadron that uses Mig29 aircraft). Still would probably be cheaper to go CGI. I don't have anything against it either - as long as they keep it within realisticky limits (since movies are never completely realistic...) No - I HATED the movie then and it still stinks today. It was, is, and always will be trash. I'd answer the rest, but we are not going to agree and it's not worth the time just for fun.
  12. Dynaman
    Yes, just replace the word "Fairly" with something I can't say on the message board.

    Item 1 - Get rid of the entire script, it sucked from start to finish. I've talked with a number of real fighter pilots - lived next to one as a kid, and they are not the pyschotic, testosterone filled idiots the movie shows them to be. Item 2 - Forget the Migs and go with something you could get your hands on. Come up with a plot device that requires going against them. (It would be no worse then the laughable, nuclear war would have broken out, attack on a US carrier would have caused shown in the real Top Gun).
  14. Dynaman
    It fails there too - they couldn't even get real soviet aircraft for the enemy aircraft - and as I mentioned before they re-used the ONLY impressive shot twice in the same movie. You want a movie with good flying sequences using real aircraft there are two choices. 1 - Hell's Angels by Howard Hughes, dated script and acting but the aerial shots are excellent. 2 - The Blue Max. Much better version of the entire Top Gun theme of the little guy proving himself and getting the girl.

    Top Gun 2: Electric Boogaloo... Despite it's legion of flaws, Stealth was a better movie then Top Gun. With Top Gun, the most impressive air stunt was used twice in the film, lame. Not to mention all the characters were cardboard cutouts - at least the Stealth plane in Stealth had some character to it (sadly the human cast did not)

    Very recently changed on me then, I knew there were AH-64 female pilots - but that is the army. (very recent would be anything since 1991, alas time is speeding up since then)

    Watch out for Hulu - it has episode 112 listed as 111. Same thing happened with on-demand from comcast. (or the other way around - when I watched it on-demand last week it seemed like I had missed an episode, then when I started up 112 this week it was the same episode I saw last week listed as 111) [EDIT] - 110 is the first episode of season 1.5 (how I wish SyFy would stop that stupid number scheme!). I thought the first half of season 1 was 10 episodes? I guess the first one counted as a special.
  18. Dynaman
    Actually, at least in the US there is only ONE reason you don't see many female fighter pilots - they are NOT allowed to be fighter pilots. Don't forget that in WWII there were a lot of female fighter pilots (they were only allowed to shuttle planes to the combat theater and not allowed to fly combat). Also - the Russians have had many female pilots (and regular soldiers fighting alongside men) since WWII. [EDIT] I should say in WWII, I don't know about after that. So to put it bluntly - the idea that women in combat slots will cause friction is just sexist nonsense.

    Not really - advertising or "I videotaped my dog doing something disgusting/cute" videos is all that shows up on Ireport anyway.

    I always that he stops the memory (memory that is) at the mirror since that is the point where he realizes that HE did the bad things, till that point he had convinced himself that Isamu had done them. He had displaced the memory of what he had done onto Isamu since he could not live with the truth of having done it himself.

    Exsedol's head is not amused... Heretic...

    The Yamato live action movie getting a simultaneous English release. Engilsh version of Macross the First. Yamato Rebirth DVD with the original Star Blazers cast doing a dub (with subtitles in original Japanese option as well). To quote Charlie in the box "Time to start dreaming of next christmas"
  23. Dynaman
    Nah - he is just annoying you more with repeated exposure! Go back and watch the early episodes, same Bat Whine, Same Bat er, whine...
  24. Dynaman
    Wonder Woman had 3 seasons! Not just one. (I'm not sure if the show had a plot, I just tuned in to see Linda Carter in the WW outfit)
  25. Dynaman
