Character design is no easy process in the world of animated films; it takes constant feedback, and literally hundreds of hours of trial and error (if you’re doing it right.) How the characters fit within the story, how they fit with each other, how the voice actors are going to affect them, and how [...]

Vegetarianism and meat-eating tends to be on of those issues like abortion, religion, or weather Bella in Twilight should go for Jacob or Edward; it’s nearly impossible to have a rational conversation about it. Michael Anissimov over at Accelerating Future tries to talk about it in a recent post entitled, Visiting the Farm, [...] Dave Barry gives us his review of 2009. That’s all I wanted to say, but I feel I need to add something to this post to balance out some of the white-space. Maybe I could add a picture? No…that wouldn’t work, this post doesn’t justify it, and it would make the lack of text all the [...] Over at Accelerating Future (in my links list), I commented on a post about why ‘atheists need to talk about atheism’ (the post is linked to another decent article at Alternet.) This came up because some blogger said something to the effect of: “It’s not atheism that I mind all that much, it’s just [...] I feel I need to begin by saying something about Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes. First, Sherlock Holmes was never great literature; they were serial pulp stories for the 19th century. Purists who worry about this movie corrupting a great work of art….really shouldn’t.

Here’s how commented on this: Just another self-serving conspiracy, I think the “War on Christmas” perfectly represents the classic ‘us-verses-them’ ideology. A kind of self-serving victimhood and indignation that’s [...] I’m a somewhat opinionated guy; and I occasionally (and by that I mean: all the time) comment on articles, blog posts, and when I’m in a particularly foolish mood: YouTube videos. So I got to thinking: if I’m writing stuff, why not share it on this blog? So I will. This starts a new [...] I love nuclear power, it’s the cleanest and most efficient (in turns of energy output) source of energy we have; and I don’t trust any environmentalist that doesn’t support it.
I found these at Make Magazine, who found them at BibliOdyssey, where you can find even more charts. Some bad and tasteless humor aside, this has to be the most brutal reviews of Episode I ever produced. No doubt brought to you by a man who has watched the movie many, many times, just to articulate why it’s so bad: Did I mention that this review is almost as long as the movie itself? [...] |
