Mr March

Hehehe, been looking at MAHQ recently? I hope you can submit some of your work to them. MAHQ needs to change a few things for the better on their website. Someone posted that they are poor outside of the Gundam sections and I couldn't agree more. The Macross and Patlabor sections need a good, thorough overhaul.

You should submit some of these to the MAHQ (http://www.mahq.net/) for use in the Macross portion of that website's "MECHA" section. The scans he's currently using for much of the Macross Plus mecha are downright terrible. Your pictures use really good scans and are clean and clear with really good colors. Just a thought.

Hey! THat's a great find! Thanks for posting the link Poon!

That is one damn impressive model of the DYRL SDF-1 Macross. WOW. The detail is amazing and the colors look dead on. The price tag is steep indeed, but this is a real beauty.

Halo is fantastic. One of the best new console franchises to come out in years. Don't worry about the haters. Halo's popularity ensures us fans will enjoy lots more.

DVD sets that include a bunch of special features and books. The details are all on Amazon: Patlabor Movie One Limited Edition DVD Patlabor Movie Two Limited Edition DVD

That canopy is great and what a nice touch to have removable magazine on the gun pod. So nice. I like the black flexi-joints they've put in the legs, which you can see in GERWALK mode. A very nice touch.

I'm curious to see if this anime surpasses the development time on Daikatana or Duke Nukem Forever

Storm trooper guy from Tokyo. Heard a bit about him, but not all that thrilling. Good for him I guess.

Hehehe, I like that cover. Well done!

Someone told me it works good as an aphrodisiac for chicks from Iceland.

Japanese animated intro: A+ Japanese musical score: F Was never a fan of the X-Men animated series, but the original music for the intro was great. THose j-rock tracks were awful. But if they would have kept the original music and animated it with the japanese artists, I'd have owned every DVD of that series by now

Release is here and luckily, I'm in no mood to waste time and money on this film. But I have to say, I do love these kinds of films, not for watching, but for the far more entertaining reviews. They are like reading parody websites "If not for the regular fiery explosions, The Marine would be an environmentalist's dream; it's made from 100 percent recycled materials." Review on FilmCritic.com Feel free to post some funny reviews if you see em

While the fiction of the Macross franchise tells us the VF-0 from Macross Zero is less technologically advanced than the VF-1 from SDF Macross, the actual aesthetic and aerodynamic design of the VF-0 is basically a more modern VF-1. Kawamori is also a more experienced artist now and the VF-0 represents both a better, more realistic mecha and more modern fighter design elements. THere's not much left to the imagination at this point.

Exactly my thoughts.

Many thanks anime52k8.

Unfortunately not, but I'd like to see it. I heard it was quite good and very funny.

I'm Canadian, I like "good" french film, and I like French Fries

I'm not a fan of Top Gun and the majority of jet fighter films, sadly, have been terrible. The trailer makes this film look like just another MTV-styled, vapid jet fighter film with little else to distinguish it from the norm. Reviews have cited the fighter sequences as amazing, but little else. Might check it out if it's distributed here in North America.

Hahahaha. Great thread! I'm really shocked this one wasn't a success. It sounds like just the right formula for trash reality television that most viewers can't wait to eat up. I love the title

That's ultimately why I gave the film a slightly less-than-perfect score. If "The Departed" was an original screenplay, this would have been the perfect film in my mind. The pacing was great, the acting was brilliant, the cinematography was astounding, the dialogue was perfect...I just wish it wasn't a remake. Ignorance is bliss. One of the dangers of being well-watched film geek I gotta disagree with your dislike for Damon and DiCaprio. Both performances were fantastic. I found Damon's dichotomy of charm and frigidness the perfect psycho combination. He almost comes across as a gangster version of some serial killer like Norman Bates. So normal, pleasant and even charming, no one would ever guess the heart of a monster lies just beneath, making him the perfect mobster mole. DiCaprio's character was an excellent conduit into the film's bloodshed for the audience. His character was constantly in danger and the lousy hand he was dealt in life easily captured audience empathy. The brow beating from Dignam was even better for his character and DiCaprio showed the fire driving his character that enabled him to go through it all and still keep fighting. Vera Farmiga's character Madolyn was undewritten and not that well used. But she did serve to illustrate the true natures of the two main characters Costigan and Sullivan. As for her hypocricy, I think putting it in perspective, the result favours Madolyn. She lied about an affair; Sullivan lies about being a murderer. I think the difference is obvious. I agree with your opinion of Nicholson. He was whoring his scenes and I think it would've been better for the film - as the ensemble piece that it was - if another, lower profile actor was used. Alec Baldwin would have been great indeed. He can pull off frightening very well (his role in "The Cooler" was scary). Martin's films always comment on the way of life, a live by the sword, die by the sword. Which is pretty much the vicious circle of violence. I think it worked to brilliant effect here and also suited the slower pace of the film. The foreshadowing of Sullivan's demise was used with ruthless efficiency, something Scorsese is oh so good at Infernal Affairs needs that ideological underpining for Lau's character in order to hold the swirling tension of the film together as something dramatically coherent. Both ways work and work well IMO.

Looks quite cool. I'm intrigued. Must know more

Very impressive. Thanks

And thus, we find yet another market for Macross; the enviromentalists
