  1. Exactly what I said. Brosnan was Bond. I've seen very few people doubt that he could not fill the role. He had all the wit, charm, and style that made Bond. But his movies (especially the last 2) needed to move away from the bigger-is-better formula. If they could make 1 more movie with Brosnan without the big effects and etc., we would probably have a good Bond film.
  2. Definitely. I think that was Brosnan's biggest complaint about his Bond movies. He wanted a real spy drama, not a gadget/CGI/big-name sponsor/lunatic industrialist-villan movie. He wanted a spy movie like the real early Sean Connery work. They can put almost anybody in the role of Bond, but dang it, come up with a better storyline and not the crap that's been out for the past 4 movies.
  3. You could call negative comments a "thing getting in the way" or a "road block". I use the term vaguely. But it would be nice to hear what Egan has to say. Anybody want to wake him up?
  4. It was suppose to be the next OAV series, although, things got in the way and the project was put on permanent hiatus. http://www.anime.net/macross/production/an...n/3d/index.html
  5. Most of us are here to have fun. But "fun" to some people is causing a mess everywhere they go and thinking they are king of the world. Ignore those people who do that on this board. The less you listen to them, the more fun you get from the board.
  6. I still don't like parts of that cowl (the size, specifically the width, of those ears). Other than that, I like the suit. Looks more flexible than previous versions.
  7. http://www.animeondvd.com/reviews2/disc_reviews/3090.php Disc one contains the original Standard Edition DVD. Disc two contains four thirty-minute episodes presented in anamorphic widescreen, English and Japanese DTS 5.1 Surround Sound and Stereo. Disc three contains the original series soundtrack CD. I got the regular edition. The SE discs will contain that second disc with the widescreen and DTS 5.1 and anything else they throw in.
  8. Actually...I wonder if those gunpods caused a problem with the YF-21's design (which would be cured with the VF-22 and the guns being stored within those panels). Except for the live-fire tests, we rarely got to see the YF-21 with the gunpods. or... It could be that those gunpods were never really tested and was not on-time for most of the flight tests for the YF-21. Hummm....that could mean that the YF-21 was flying under weight most of the time.....that's not good...
  9. Exactly....and they got the VF-0 wrong....It ain't called the "Phoenix".... Isn't it? I thought it was. What is it called then? VF-0. Just "VF-0". Plain-olde "VF-0". http://www.anime.net/macross/mecha/united_.../vf0/index.html
  10. Exactly....and they got the VF-0 wrong....It ain't called the "Phoenix"....
  11. Figures. Ah well, at least it doesn't just totally crash any time there's mroe than one set of quote tags... Nope. Someone didn't close a tag. Look for this line:
  12. Cuz someone forgot to close a tag...Use "Preview post " if you're gonna make a long reply. edit: Actually, it appears that the SV-52 became the SV-51γ. http://www.anime.net/macross/mecha/anti_un...sv51/index.html How about you guys just use bold-face to quote. I feel like I'm debugging code here....
  13. Our focus is more of the central island. However, the population does have boats so having some of it's residents on the other islands is possible.
  14. Nope. Which would you rather see more of? Politics? Or more VFs?
  15. Correction: König Monster Monster = Destroid.
  16. Tragically, no. dammit well...could the "morphing" wings be used in the VF-22S if installed? or would you still need the -21's cockpit system to use them? Hypothetically, maybe. You'd need a computer routine to control it, as well as an interface for the system. The software was likely written during the YF-21 testing, so that should just need installation. But the wiring isn't there, unless the VF-22 uses some sort of computer network for operation of peripherals(like ethernet)... which actually isn't a very implausable scenario. But you'd have to replace the entire wing due to materials diffrences. So there's only one major obstale instead of 3. It wasn't just an interface problem or a material problem. http://www.anime.net/macross/mecha/united_...yf21/index.html Cost-wise, the system is just too expensive for mass production.
  17. Most likely yes, but, no. I have seen lineart with of the VF-17's and the VF-11's gunpod with a strap. But those ideas were probably thrown out when production started.
  18. Are we really sure that´s a VF-0 ? look closely at the tailfins , remember the Zero´s are a bit bended. And why does the Ghost appear right now after stupidly dissapearing in Ep.3 anyway ? I do believe that is a VF-0. Although, I don't think that is a Ghost on top of it. The QF-2001 in M0 looks about the length of a VF-1.
  19. As one guy said it on TFN, the fans finally guessed one right.
  20. They're not the "cause" they give them the ability to use it. I don't really care though as the movies have moved past the midichlorion "interview" as I put it. You can have all the midichlorions you want, but Yoda will still kick your ass. wheee... showing his prowess with machines/piloting.... Also serves to satisfy Lucas' racing gene. They did have pretty wussy fighters. If they had a badass force, then they would have never been invaded... They're also local security force. It's like telling your local police to fight a global war with their pistols and night-sticks. They're brand new, shiny clones with brand new stuff. I think the CG worked here really well because cg owns the shiny, clean look. If they were done by several actors, they won't be clones. Yoda's speed would have to be part of his style, he's a little guy and a human sized Jedi has a considerable advantage in reach and sheer leverage to bear down on him. I liked it.. Yoda kicking ass. Do you people realize that Yoda is only 2 feet in height? He ain't got much to hit from down there. You mean... like the Jedi? Keepers of the peace... hmmm... Considering the Republic has had a good thousand-year run with the Jedi doing their thing, what would have been the point of a ready army? "Hi, I'm a Jedi Knight. Accept this treaty or I'll cut your f*ckin head off faster than you can say 'wha' "
  21. Kinda reminds me of this:
  22. http://www.newton.dep.anl.gov/askasci/zoo00/zoo00079.htm The same applies to Macross.
  23. The seat is in the cockpit. Which is located in the chest area.
  24. Seat rotates down, shield opens. And in M0 ep 1, shield closes, seat rotates back. So the seat rotates then the heat shield moves in or out of place. Doubt it. See how Roy's side stops and then goes practically perpendicular to his body. He's sitting. Try it yourself. Stand up straight. Bend your back down about 5-10 degrees while keeping your head still . Bend the knees slightly. Your eye direction should be focused at about 2-3 feet of the floor in front of you. That is awkward. Not to mention, if you bring your head up so that you are looking directly in front of you and not at the ground, you need to keep your head at the level. The pilot has to be sitting down. I see credits. The hh:mm:ss is 00:08:44. I should point out that his VF is not oriented upright. His VF is leaning on the Octos at about a 30-40 degree angle. You can see is right monitor angled down.
