"And I would have gotten away with it, too! If it hadn't have been for you meddling hobbitts!" Agreed. The whole "Sharkey" bit was out of place, IMHO. Still it was nice seeing the former most powerful wizard in Middle-Earth get trounced by a bunch of wee peoples. The movie should really peak at Mount Doom and wrap up with the ships leaving for distant shores.

Like I said before, Peter Jackson is going to make the movie he is going to make and his instincts have been dead on thus far, in my opinion (and most of the audience opinion - judging by the grosses of the previous films). Here is a statement he made to Aint It Cool news - I dunno, it makes perfect sense to me. Those who don't like changes made to the movie from the books should probably just stick to reading the books, since they'll never be happy anyway.

I love the show... still don't know where the hell they're going with it. I stared recording this one and the repeats of the first season of The Wire about the same time. All I know is that HBO rocks and The Wire may be my new favorite show ever.

Big whoop... I agree with Jackson. It doesn't fit well with the movie, so it doesn't need to be in the movie. The same thing goes for everything he's cut out thus far. And trust me... capitalism is MUCH more concerned with movie ticket sales than DVD sales. Just like the movie studios themselves.

Dude, that rocks! Now all we need is some 8 Track music and we got a party! Seriously, those commercials sound wicked.

WOAH! EVERYBODY STOP! HEY! Let's REWIND back a bit here. THE VF-1A Low Viz is an invention and WILL NOT appear in Macross Zero? I was made to understand that it was! Someone sort me out! Ok. I'll straighten you out. The Low Viz began as a custom toy, then Yamato liked it, several fans liked it. So Yamato made one and sold it. Kawamori said he liked it quite a bit. All the speculation that the Low Viz will appear in Macross Zero is just that. Speculation. There are no promises that it will appear in M0... thus, it is officially (as of this point) non-canon. As far as calling it an "invention" to be praised - if one considered a paint job as drastically different where a new head sculpt isn't... you folks are silly.

Agreed... when the black 1/48 box came out it was right after we'd had a HUGE discussion about the MPC box and great toy boxes in general. The black 1/48 box is simple and timeless. It reminds me of a favorite toy box we'd mentioned, the Dougram. It's just classic, y'all. But the new ones are nice too, I just think they're trendier. Too photoshoppy.

Looks great... now to figure out how to squeeze this one and the VF-1J w/FP in to my budget and we'll be set. And folks, quit whining about it being just a different head. This is Macross, this is a VF-1, this should all be no surprise to anyone with any familiarity with the series or the designs. If you don't like it, don't buy it.

Gee, I think I would prefer it if Yamato made canon Macross VF 1 valks (TV & DYRL) instead. But then again, I'm not a fan of the Low Viz 1A, so no surprise there. Wouldn't you much rather have a VF-1D, VT-1, VE-1, Canon Fodder, Max 1S, Max & Millia 1J's, etc, etc.. I know I would.

There was a lot of Evangelion inspiration in that line too - not so much on Manga Spawn though... Those are some of the very few Spawn figs I ever bought. Well done.

Definitely interested to see your review Keith... I'm still deciding if its worth waiting for what will likely be a better rip and possibly better subs.

That font seems rather generic... just make sure you use the Stroke Layer Effect (I'm assuming you're using Photoshop), set it to white, exterior, and play with the width until it looks right. Good luck, I'd like to see it finished. This might be a better question to ask in the FanWorks section - lots of good graphic advice there.

Unless it's porn. Especially dwarf porn. Carry that one silent to your grave, folks.

Word to that. Just because it's the "original", doesn't necessarily make it better. To me, The Ring (american) was far better than Ringu. And the Ringu sequels were even worse. Curious to see the Eye, though. Somebody give us a MW review.

Why do we drink, chase women, eat, sleep, and breathe? It's what we do.

Heh... my girlfriend didn't really watch Macross 7 - she doesn't really watch any of it (particularly subtitled), she just hangs out while I watch it. But she can sing damn near every Fire Bomber song, though.

Nice art, definitely strong in details. Reminds of an old Wildstorm book called Brass. Seems a bit "anime-magic", though... could that thing really transform?

Crotchbot 5000! j/k - I have no clue.

Sorry to hear about that, Kanata. I understand how it is to love someone with a drug addiction - I've had years of it with my only brother. Good luck and try to think positive about the future.

But if you ban versus threads, you won't have a thought as beautiful as "John McClane vs. the Death Star"

Heh... it's either irony or bile that's choking me up. I wonder if the subs are accurate?

Heh... That almost sounds worth it. If it were only real. Sorry, I hate that lisping moron. "Girlth, we can do ANYTHING! We're Charlie'th Angelth!"

And here I was thinking you had a subterranean PopeMobile. Just kidding, I've been to that exhibit.

Word. Double Word, in fact. Groundbreaking news is nice, but begging for news and speculating all over the place has really grown tiresome as hell. Let's all chill out and let Yamato do their thing.

Judging by that thing on her arm, my guess is that it would Turner's other big paycheck creation, Witchblade. Tell your bud he's got skills, that's a nice pin up. I'd be curious to see if he's done any actual story - panels, etc. It's much more difficult to tell a story than do a splash like that.
