Defend the indefensible - Thomas Kinkade

6) Hidden details whenever possible, References to my children (from youngest to oldest as follows): Evie, Winsor, Chandler and Merritt. References to my anniversary date, the number 52, the number 82, and the number 5282 (for fun, notice how many times this appears in my major published works). Hidden N's throughout -- preferably thirty N's, commemorating one N for each year since the events happened.

Weird. Maybe he's a numerologist? That's disturbing that he has a movie..

I like O'Toole's expression. "I'm in this movie? Really?"

oh marcia gay, hope you got something nice

loooooooooooool

Gyah! The only possible redemption would be a remixed trailer ala "Shining" right?

This thread is supposed to be "defend the indefensible" so let me just say that as terrible as Kinkade's 16 directions sound in general, they seem perfectly appropriate for the kind of movie this obviously is. They're selling the movie with Kinkade's name on the front -- what, you thought he was going to reboot the franchise and make it look like Eraserhead?

Kinkade Kills

Would hang

I mean yeah it'd be really predictable "irony" but come on, it's like a highlights for children "spot the popular subject matter" game.

Well frankly I'm in your debt for introducing me to SHAKMAAAAAAAAAA, and of couse the respected actor bemused to find himself in this picture theme could apply to Roddy McDowell, so..

Haha, I kind of love that image.
So he's painted a view from the crowd at a Nascar event.
But the image still needs some pizazz. Ah! Add FIREWORKS!
No, still not good enough, still not fast enough! JET PLANES!
<3

the planes are flying out of the fireworks!

He has to be on to this. How do you paint a cultural artifact like that and say, Oh How No One Shall Ever *Roll Their Damn Eyes* at This?

wow.

the planes are flying out of the fireworks!

maybe those are exploding planes :(

I almost want to see a Kinkade illustration of 9/11 now.

those aren't fireworks they're bombs the jets just deployed

xpost oh god...i can almost picture it

Poll

Kid getting piggyback ride to win.

there may be one too many planes there

That's the trifecta of panem et circences gratuitous air pollution!

i like how Jimmie's leading them down in historically-accurate fashion with the yellow just right

the most air pollution comes from the fans getting to and from, as is true of a lot of exurban concerts and festivals. i'm planning to take public transportation to my first race.

well, mass transit at least

the planes are flying out of the fireworks!

Or perhaps the planes have just time-traveled into the scene.

the sky sequence is like an uncle duke drug episode by someone who can draw

shinorishoes:Asian women = gabbneb:NASCAR

the dad appears to be wearing a stars n bars bandanna

everyone appears to have hearing protection except the child and the old man (who looks wistfully on at the father and son)

It looks like it says "500 YEARS" on the field.

TALKING TOO FAST

Painter of Light!
Awesome

Painter of fraud

Schadenfreude, they name is me.

I'd rather Shane Carwin worked his gut for a few rounds, but that's a reasonable start.

i follow the l.a. times architecture critic on twitter and roffled when he wrote this about the late king o' pop's ranch:

"Neverland is equal parts Walt Disney, Willy Wonka & Thomas Kinkade"

Borrowed from a fine man who goes by the name of Yip.

Kinkade/KKK mash-up ftw.

Yeah that's the best one.

I admit I was more hoping this was him being locked up for that fraud stuff.

My friend teaches some art 101 class at the university...she had a student, on his final, try and write his essay (on a major art movement & some of its members) on "Newmanism," the movement of "light painting" as founded by T. Kinkade.

Newmanism!
