While you're at it kill that animated gif avatar.

Why are some people taking this topic seriously? Btw 6'3 and a half. Cruise has to stand on telephone book to shampo my crotch.

Why are you very interested in the size of his hands?

Which is why I can't be a actor. I'll make Arnold look like shimp next to me. He could always stand on a crate or two.

Slightly Off Topic. Some friends of mine got back a week or two ago from a trip to New York. They had one celebrity sighting, Elijah Wood. According to them he was short. I mean really really short. They saw him in a shop or something. One of them was a short koren girl. She's about 5 feet or so. Married to this 6'2 white guy. They're a funny looking but cute couple, anways she claims Elijah was smaller than her and decribed him as nearly a midget.

I think he's talking about the 1st Casino Royal. As Cage as Bond? As an actor I think he could pull off the job as playing a spy but as Bond...I'll just keep seeing Cage. However I think he is equally ugly as the new guy. If they wanted to use an ugly Bond they should given Cage a chance.

Silive's boob bounce on the Zentran ship and the slow camera over Isthar's body in the end As for the Wendy scene someone sent me a pic of it once. I'm not seeing anything. Well I'm seeing something but it just looks a zipper or a seem. Wishfull thinking if you're seeing more.

Compete ha! He's no competition against the Royight wing agenda.

Lets move off this subject.

I'm starting to wonder, maybe in a VERY limited way, Roy was right. Keep that train of thought it is the Royight one.

For those worried about the Idiotic Ranting Appearance that we Give. Loosen up a bit. You guys rock. I have been away for a couple of days and you continue to entertain me. Dance Monkey! Dance!

Thats a common excuse but why might someone miss something if they are reading subs? Could it just be that their comprehension might be strong enough to focus on both at once. Lazy is just an excuse as well

Not to throw to much fuel back on the fire but I stand by my statement that the main stream is stupid. This a statement I'm making and not based entirely on the typical domestic anime that is avaliable to the masses. Things are dubbed for the main stream. We here a lot of excuses why but I believe I know the really reason. People are indeed stupid. There are more illiterate people now. I'm not saying things are dubbed because people can't actually read. They can read alright but reading comprehension is the problem. The masses have very low reading comprehension. Isn't too difficult from them to watch and read subtitles at the same time. Their comprehension isn't strong enough. Others excuses might be used to safe face but that is the real reason why some prefer dubs.

As for replacing the song. Well the theme from 'Do You Remember Love' was pretty much movie plot point specific. Misa translates found lyrics, Hikaru slaps Minmay until she agrees to sing them. The song loses its movie meaning if played in the series for no reason. Now prehaps a new song for Minmay written by Mari would be different.

Interesting thing about Mari comments. Is she back tracking her stance isn't she? I've always got the idea from various sources that she considered Macross a double edge sword. Greatful for the experience but felt type casted. Yes she maintain a following that like her for other music beside Macross. Maybe if she never did Macross she would be bigger. Odds are her popularity would be the same. Thats just the music biz. Now she had decided, "You know what? Macross wasn't really that bad. I had a part in making good TV but my acting could of been better. What you want me to voice Minmay again? Why sure I'll do it!" If it true thats cool but seems back tracking on earlier attitudes. I would also accepted, "I want send my kids to good colleges." Yes I think its possible that she may have warmed up and accepted Macross but would she be as happy about it as I'm getting from the tone of those comments? Then again who am I to doubt the power of the floating's head creation... As for her new performance of Minmay. Her previous youthful inexperience as an actor was perfect for the character. Minmay still needs some of that vibe.

There was actually another Casino Royal before the so called comedy. It was TV movie.

I'm just saying that I'm beyond all joking in saying that people are stupid and uneducated for what is basically an astethic choice is beneath us. There are things called low brow and high brow entertainment. If on TV say Schinlers List was playing back to back with private Ryan and same time Wrestle Mania was being played live for free we might find more people watching wrestling. I think all worth watching but I think wrestling is just a tad less important and would fall under the low brow catagory yet the masses may want to watch it over the other two because face it the masses like stupid entertainment. How in the hell do you explain Urkel, Perfect Strangers, Full House and the rest of ABC Classic TGF? The masses are stupid and like stupid stuff. Its the only logical answer. Same thing goes for most imported Anime. Now the problem of making Macross or Anime in general more main stream friendly is that you are shaping it towards their wants or what you think they want. Where is the limit on compromises in importing something over? If left unchecked to import for the sake of making it more friendly to the masses it could led to a product that is quite different from the original. Some might say new Macross is good no matter what. I say that if you cater to the wants of the masses you'll might end up with is something that is not Macross. I do not like people being dismissed as stupid or uneducated or what have you because they aren't in the "in" crowd, or don't know the "secret handshake." Think I was the most popular kid in school? Only difference between me and you is I'm not as scared. Do I think people who like dubs and main stream anime that you can find on Cartoon Network and Mass Retailers are beneath me? Why yes. Have you seen that crap that is avaliable. I think they can all be both different and inferior to those who are as great and think like me. That is an appalling statement, beneath any further comment. Yeah its appalling. Damn straight it is and the truth. You know whats more appalling that there are idiots that honestly believe all the crap that come from my ass. Can you even try to take this debate seriously, or are you going to merely dismiss every argument as being somehow moronic because it doesn't conform to some narrow conception of yours as to how the world should work? I don't hold with ad hominem attacks either (such as "this time of the month" or "your brain is fried," none of which advance what should be a civil, if forceful, debate one iota), fellah. If you notice, I have not once directly attacked YOU personally, but merely your ideas. I request the same courtesy. Can I take this debate seriously hmmm. Can you take it without being apalled or offended by every little thing? When one is too serious about a subject your just making things too easy. The purity of art my ass. The sound of a cash register ringing that buys you the freedom to keep making your art is the purest sound you'll ever hear in your life. And I gotta suspect some of this elitist rage comes from guys who had artistic endeavors and never broke through or never had the jones to pull the trigger. Yes greed is good. We like money and money likes us too. Money makes the world go around. Every thing done for money has been for good.

I think they already did that: Isn't this new Bond not going to Smoke? Remember when Golden Eye was coming out they were saying Bond was going to go after less ass? James Bond of the present needs to be screwing every female he encounters while doing Meth. lol!

And Roy... your comments DID cut very much to the quick. Make no mistake, I am deadly serious on this matter. WTF is this a threat? You're a little touchy on this aren't you. Is it that time of the month? I do not, and will not condone this idea that they are somehow inferior to us solely because they like Inuyasha or Case Closed or have substandard Internet writing skills (i.e. use that hacker Cyrillic). That means that they're different from most of us on this board. Different, but not inferior. I think I which 10 minutes of Inyasha here and there. With thoughts this seems like the same stupid crap you can expect from imported anime. Maybe several months ago it will be over. Several months later. I'm watching a stupid anime and think to myself, wait a minute is this that same stupid show. As for the hacker computer speakers yes they're retarded too. I think they can all be both different and inferior to those who are as great and think like me. Al Capone is inferior to me. Ken Lay is inferior to me. Orville Faubus is inferior to me. (insert favorite Fascist or Communist dictator) is inferior to me. That is because they placed themselves there by their actions and lack of morals and humanity. A 15-year-old otaku who goes "OMG!!!!!!!! 1 L0ve teh 1nuyasha!!!!!!!"? Annoying, but NOT inferior. So wait a minute or you trying to suggest nah wait reading this I think you brain is fried. You should think like one of the us Elite Animation Nazi pursuits. On to this actual dvd. As previously known and confirmed, the series will be receiving a brand new accurate dub for the release as well as even more accurate subtitles that will be cleaning up some of the controversial lines in the previous subtitled release. Now I'm totally confused. Didn't HG and Animego go parading old whats his name around praising him for the excellent job. Now to make sure you get the people that already have the Animego set to buy another one someone has to start convincing you that the others ones were wrong. I'm losing all faith in them now! I think says this dvds won't freeze during play and we got Mari doing a voice will be a bigger selling point.

Can we knock this game off?

Two things I hate about Movies in General I. Even if the film is suppose to take place 10, 20 or 30 years ago they want to have them set in the now. The kids will lose interest if something takes place in 1980s. Everything needs to be bigger, badder and newer. II. Lets avoid any reference to the real world. We don't want to offend anybody. That makes a fictional world wear all the villian in it are just criminals. Make America the villian, make Austrialian Terrorists. Movies are fiction. If some little piss faced hippy makes are fuss fart 'em. When you try not to offend the sissies you end up with something boring.

That is the most nakedly elitist argument I've ever heard... ... And "stupid and uneducated" because they prefer what they're watching? Please. Maybe they have IN OUR OPINION bad taste in anime, but it doesn't mean they're knuckle-dragging trogolodytes or are going to suddenly start using the Macross discs as coasters. What did my comments hit a little to close to home? Hey I can't help it for I'm always right and am the sole judge of whats right or wrong. Personally, I see nothing wrong with bringing Macross to the masses. You're failing to remember that I'm the sole judge of what right or wrong. There's nothing wrong with letting the masses see Macross or any classic anime or forgein film. What's wrong is when you make changes for the masses. Look at Robotech thats a perfect example of one change too many. Should Macross catch on would you be getting more new releases of "Macross" or more new releases of Mass Friendly Macross? If I have to put up with a new dub of Macross and hordes of diehards acting stroppy about it, that's a small price to pay for more Macross merchandise, Yamato's easier to obtain, and a region one release of Macross Zero/Macross 7/Flashback 2012. Sell out In fact any one you thinks something like this can lead to easier and cheaper access to Macross Toys and merchadize are sells outs. Do you all really care about the art itself or getting that toy you always wanted for under a fifty bucks? Let the masses see Macross if they want to but don't go around altering it making it more friendly to them. If you alter it a little bit here you'll alter it a little bit more there for the masses. What good is more and new Macross if the artistic integrity suffers because of it? Btw I am also an elitest about my Pizza. Don't cha go around throw chicken on it. A hamburger belongs in a bun not no stupid green leafs. Onion Ring should be made of whole onions not minced. Turkey doesn't belong in a hot dog either.

I for one am glad a dub is coming out. Macross will be more accessible to the average person and thus maybe more products will follow. Hoping this will happen is somewhat fleeting, but there is the possibility of more international releases. Do you really want the average person (or in this case tje average anime fan) to embrace Macross? The average fan is for the most part stupid and uneducated who by judging by the anime that can be found on Cartoon Network or at mass retailer likes a lot of crap. Really let's say Macross is made more accessible and appeals more to what the average fan goes for. Yes there might be more international releases that are made more accessible and heck maybe new products that are made to be more accessible at the start. Sure you could end up with more Macross but is the cost worth it? The vast majority of people put little to no effort into what they watch. You must understand, by your very nature as a viewer of anime, you are the exception...not the rule. You have gone beyond mainstream viewing and tastes and as you watch anime you distinguish yourself from the average consumer of popular culture. Naturally, it goes without saying that while you personally may have no problem with subtitles, most do. Even many of your fellow anime fans dislike subtitles. Given the choice between formats (a foreign film in subtitles versus a foreign film with dubbing), the average viewer will most often choose the format requiring the least effort. Which explains why a forgein films that has subtitiles only or doesn't have a well know face to American audiences has limited release and doesn't become avaliable to all until the DVD release. Then again the same thing goes for English speaking movies that aren't meant to be mass marketed block busters. Not every film has to be about making a butt load of money. Sure Studios would like that but they still make there art house films as well. More audience equals more money it does equal good quality. Remember my self hating anime fan club thread? I have a very low opinion about the anime masses. Anyone that thinks Macross or the classics should be made more mainstream friendly should be Agent One's Door Knob.

Some people do care about the dubs, there are some people who hate reading subtitles and hearing a language they don't understand, they just won't do it no matter what you do. And even if they violate some sense of the purity of the show for you or other guys, every dollar they spend counts as much as ours. I say that excuse used so often and it's still as stupid as day one. What idiot can't focus on the images on the screen and dialog at the same time? I never had that problem. My attention is taken up by both but I don't suffer from missing out on either. Only idiots that might have this problem are poor readers. Some people don't even want to hear Japanese? They love to see the Japanese pictures but not the Japanese language. Those are some pretty crappy racists. True their dollar are a worth as much as ours and even more. The vast majority are stupid or at least that what most importants of forgein movies etc think. The more you dumb it down the more attention you get. Really is it worth trying to make some thing that appeals to everyone at the expense of the art itself?

Neither of the two entities are going away, so either learn to live with it or keep up the none productive sarcasm I rather enjoy the non productive sarcasm. The guy seems to be able to take the usual antics without having a hissy fit. Thats something to be proud of. As for him offering to help fellow fans get rare item in Japan. I checked his IP Adresse it is from Japan. I will remind people here you give money to people at your own risk.
