Haven't seen it, but now I'm curious - - What's the deal with the netflix version, exactly?
― Doctor Casino, Thursday, 2 August 2012 15:46 (eleven years ago) link
No idea! I saw it in the theater.

blargh! Well, I'll catch it sometime somehow then... I'm definitely curious now.

'kells' is very pretty and kind of breathtaking in spots but the story's kinda not that great IMO.
i feel the same. vikings were the best.

Kells was visually lovely and certainly respectable but it lacked even a hint of a pulse.

I'm glad because I am deeply ashamed about it! :(

maybe not "deeply"
it gives busy people the time to actually watch these things.

Maybe this is a good time to mention: Ren & Stimpy animator/genius/cool dude John Kricfalusi was a guest on the Nerdist podcast on Friday -- all kinds of great stuff in here, including a killer story about an adventure he had with Bob Clampett. lots of stuff about the old school animators, the horrible 80's years, everything. http://www.nerdist.com/2012/08/nerdist-podcast-john-k/

What's up with this poll?
― Tuomas, Wednesday, 22 August 2012 10:23 (eleven years ago) link
I suck is what's up! Having a job is confusing and takes a lot of time and energy, I'm not used to it. I'm gonna close this out though, I promise.

*Just* watched the Winnie the Pooh -- OH MY GOD. So brilliant, and also exquisitely (painfully) poignant towards the end.

Also recently found on a hidden web 1.0 page with several UK and European based shorts were in some sort of mid-60's competition.. Clips for Dirty Birdy and Wallace & Gromit were among the dozens of nominees. Years later, my friends found this with no context of what it could be about and we decided it was creepy as hell, and the 20-seconds of dialogue have stuck in my head ever since... "Come from there. Who's your parents? Don't know. Grew up in an orphanage." I just did 20-minutes of Google searching to determine the short is called "Ugly Head," and I've been wanting to view the entire thing since 11 years ago, just out of curiousity.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pkpP_U-hjD4

crossposted in tcm alert thread
it’s with great honor that I report to you that an hour’s worth of rare silent-era animation from my collection will be airing on Turner Classic Movies, *tonight*, at 12am eastern/9pm pacific. For this very special and long overdue broadcast event, we’ve curated several rare, once-thought-lost, historically significant or just downright funny cartoons produced in New York City between 1907 and 1926. That’s not all, though--TCM host Robert Osborne, with Jerry Beck co-hosting, are also presenting both Fleischer features, a block of UPA cartoons, and The Adventures of Prince Achmed in addition to the early NYC shorts. It’s not to be missed! I hope some or many of you can tune in or set your DVR in time.

No reason he couldn't pass the numbers on to someone else to finish the results rollout.

The rollout reminds me of the heady days of ILC.

Does someone want to volunteer to complete the rollout? I seem to not be trustworthy.

Nah, I get it, dude. I don't feel like volunteering to take over the roll-out, so I won't contribute further to guilt. Any good Samaritans out there?
