  1. They were? Only time I can remember was the brief (very brief) moment when they had the funding for The Sentinels in place, and that fell apart very quickly - seemed a ramshackle enterprise at best (but I don't really know all that much about it). Is the Sentinels what you are referring to?
  2. Virgin, being a common word, can't be trademarked for general use, someone trying to use it for starting their own record company - forget it, someone trying to use it as part of the name of some kind of reproductive control product will not have a problem. Windows is in a similar situation, try to use it in relation to a PC operating system name and you have trouble, using it as a description of an operating system or as a house window is fair game. Macross - having no general usage connotation does not come under that clause.
  3. Just saw that on DVD recently too. It held up far better then I thought it had, with storylines focusing more on the stresss of the jobs people were doing rather then just the situation. The wooden acting didn't help though. The ships themselves, were they supposed to have guns in addition to the big honking missiles on the front? I can't remember.
  4. I have the DVD for that, it's as bad now as it was then... All in all, it was a terribly stupid movie. That's not to say I didn't have fun watching it though. This would also be a film that would benefit greatly from new digital effects.
  5. In regard to Starfuries. If you want to see some improved animation of them check out B5 - The Lost Tales. It shows them with more modern CGI in an extended sequence. There is also a very short (5 seconds or so) battle "scene" that is very nicely done. The show itself - B5 fans will generally like it, don't bother otherwise.
  6. I was surprised it had as much character development as it did, certainly more then the average action flick. Perhaps as much as 10 average action flicks combined (with Stathams chracter at any rate)
  7. I had a veritech fighter that did a full transform back then, I don't think it was a Macross model (I got it in a Toys R us or some such place). I don't remember the nose of the toy being so stubby though, so it must have been something different.
  8. It is a time travel franchise, B&T could be going back in time during the time of the first movie (ala back to the future 2) and make things happen in the background. A little digitial trickery could even make the actors look similar to they way they did back then, and at least Keanu is just as bad and actor now as he was then... That is a problem, using a double or digital editing would be a bad idea, George has not been gone long enough for it to feel "right" doing so. And on a seperate note - Syfy had a story about the Robocop remake being Cancelled.
  9. Watched the movie friday night and liked it, it was not shakespeare (or even Predator) but it was fun. What I *DIDN'T* like (and don't like the whole trend) is the use of super close closeups of the action with quick camera cuts. Maybe I'm just getting old - but that kind of stuff is impossible to follow and sometimes makes my seasick. Last movie I saw that really overdid this was LotR: Return of the King, but that was partly my friends showing up late so we had to sit REAL close to the screen - later on when I saw it on DVD it was still too choppy but didn't make me ill.
  10. Yup - that would be the first one... Don't worry, there are more - just DON'T pass by any more episodes!
  11. Bad form! Don't think I could stomache any more Mac 7, but Mac 0 or Plus continuations would be nice.
  12. I kinda liked that part of it, the action sequences made we want to hurl though - and not just because they were bad.
  13. I watched it and the movie version a little while back, not bad, not exactly great, but worth the time watching.
  14. Your nearly at the point where the show grabbed my attention and never let go, you will know exactly which episode I'm talking about after you see it.
  15. Get Smart was a Spy spoof. Small Wonder counts as worst show in any and EVERY category. I'd even rate it worst mecha show...
  16. I have to cancel my earlier vote and agree, I never knew this stupid show lasted four seasons, now I have to go lobotomize myself.
  17. Great show, I was thinking it would be just another silly, over the top, show till it takes a complete left turn (and then goes on to make a couple more) [EDIT] - AND it managed to stay silly while being serious too. Even the English cast did a great job with it.
  18. strangely enough a search on the Buck Rogers TV show brought this up near the top of the links... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tCsUe_z1-H4
  19. Worst ever would be the second season of Buck Rogers, with the notable exception of Wilma Dearing's new uniform - which made the show watchable. Spock (er Hawk) was a dreadful character. Voyager was the worst ST show - the preachiness factor in that show went through the roof.
  20. I bet you missed the Stargate too! SciFi did a mention of this as well - it appears that Arnold (as Dutch from Predator) was in "The Phantom Menace"...
  21. Space Mutiny gave us an episode of MST3K, and a mighty fine addition it made. "Everyone! Look alive!"
  22. Only good thing about that show is that it proves that the Brits make bad TV shows too... I never heard of it before even though it was supposedly syndicated in the US.
  23. No - "The Island" was a remake of "Parts - The Clonus Horror" (so says the lawsuit and avid MST3K viewers). And Parts does deserve a mention on the list - even though it had a decent idea the actual movie itself fell flat (excellent MST3K source material though) I don't remember "Space Police", your not refering to "Space Rangers" (or maybe it is a US/elsewhere title change). Space Rangers truly was dreadful in every possible way.
  24. No - but that brings to mind the TV series "Quark", which would belong on this list if it were a movie rather then a TV show.
  25. Most likely better that way...
