this thread is almost as entertaining as the "christmas elves" one. almost, because this one does not involve violated door knobs.

my girlfriend bought me a Macross toy - once. after years of saying "never in my lifetime" she gave in on a recent trip to Japan. she went to a toy shop just to see if they had any Macross toys, since I spent so much money on them, but couldn't find any. then she went to another toy shop, and another. eventually it became a mission of hers to find a toy store that actually carried Macross toys (although she found plenty of models). then when she finally found a ToysRUs that had a Max 1/48, she jumped on it. mind you, i still believe the only reason she bought it was as a sort of trophy from her hunt across Japan. not that i'm complaining.

you just reminded me that I have to update that section of the site!

wow! that's a great custom! very good job!

Waterworld and Earth Girls are Easy. I'm one of 5 people on the planet who actually liked Waterworld. Apparently there are a few more who like my latter choice though.

yup! it was great to see a local boy do good.

greatest thread. ever. (well at least in the last 3 months )

looks cool to me! where do i sign?

thanks for the lovely words, as always, dukie. heh. anyway, happy holidays to all!

we're going to see Hikaru. i can feel it.

wow. that was just crazy.

mmm... trolly. =d.. anyway, i agree with whoever said that the best thing to do to trolls is to just ignore them until they grow really big feet and explode. works every time.

heh... my smokescreen is less his arms due to the fact i gave up trying to transform him back to his car mode and got frustrated.

ditto.

fansub looked good, although i think some of the beginning got chopped off. if that was discussed already, sorry, but i didn't read the first 7 pages. but all in all, very good! no obvious Engrish mistakes or anything. very good quality file too. as for Macross Zero itself... i think it's going great, with the exception that i don't think the CG and 2D animation is blending together as seemlessly as i would have liked. of course, i'm a big anti-CG guy, so that may just be me. can't wait for ep 4! although i probably will have to... for another year at this rate!

i'm thankful for... turkey dinners! =d... of course, i'm thankful for a whole lot more than that, including MW, but i've got turkey on the brain today! happy thanksgiving to all who celebrate!

BT/Alternators rock! much better than that plastic crap they give the kids these days.

"my fanbase exploitation has a first name, it's H-A-R-M-O-N-Y..."

it's beautiful! i bet the whole "cyclops" eye is more of a result of the camera flash than anything. i doubt it'll be that obvious in person. even if so, it still rocks! it reminds me of the classic shot of the VF-1J at the end of the opening sequence to the TV series.

agreed.

who is this guy anyway?

there's a lot more that can be told. what happens to the people in the Matrix now? they can't all be freed at once instantly - they could die from shock (people are not removed from the Matrix after a certain age, remember?), run out of natural resources for a huge population, cultural unrest, etc. hardly what i call a happy ending. there could be scores of stories that don't involve Neo or Trinity. there is a whole world out there that could be explored. after Macross was Macross Plus, Macross 7. they told more of the Macross universe without basing the story on the original characters. the same can be done in the Matrix universe. also, remember that it is implied that peace will not last - and how could it? the Oracle also implied that Neo would come back, probably as another "One" - which means that the whole process may yet repeat itself again, maybe a little differently this time. a lot can still be told. of course that doesn't mean that it should be told. people tend to mess up sequels. that's why i'm torn. i want to know more, but at the same time i like keeping it open-ended. either way, an evil cyborg Neo wouldn't come until at least the 8th movie.

on one hand i want more. on the other, i don't. so torn... so was there anything behind that "last exile" thing that Smith said? and who was that girl besides just some smuggled program? apparently she can make sunrises in the Matrix. for a while i thought she was going to be the next Oracle or something.

From now on, whenever I see a scene with teh Flower Girl, I will picture Agent ONE! instead. Thats funny, I dream about ME also. Who doesn't? i know i don't!
