But I'm Not Wearing Any Sundae Monday

This week is going to be all over the place because there's a lot going on right now.

First, I want to mention the passing of George Carlin. He will be remembered for his roles in Bill & Ted's Excellent Adventure, Dogma and Shining Time Station. But he will be best remembered for his stand up comedy. Carlin is held among the highest ranks with Richard Pryor and Lenny Bruce. Enjoy those Seven Words:



If you haven't seen it yet, you should go and see The Animation Show Year 4. I think that The Animation Show is extremely important in the world of animation for giving a decent release to a collection of short films, something which is sorely lacking from the rest of the film world, except that time in February when the Academy Award Nominated Shorts get their own program. But The Animation Show attracts a different sort of audience. Hopefully someone like Judd Apatow can curate something similar for live action shorts. A man can dream. Some films from this year's lineup are available online.





Finally, I want to share this for those of you who did not see it this past Thursday. Stephen Colbert has spent over two years trying to find what he terms a formidable opponent. He finally has.

I got this for using the A word (you know, shma-shmortion) six times and the Z word (George A. Romero enthusiasts beware) four times, among other naughty words like b0mb or d3ath. But how will the censors react to . . . . . ROBOTS!!!!!

Sundae Monday

This week, I'm looking at the works of the Game Over Project over at NOTsoNOISY.com. Acting out classic viedo games in (very realistic) stop motion using people for pixels? Count me in. I look forward to anything they have in the future. And you can be sure that when they do, you'll hear about it.








I would be remiss if I did not mention another Game Over. The main reason I found the videos above was searching for this one. It also happened to be part of The Animation Show, so enjoy.

Sundae Monday - Triple Videos!

My next post will be on the short film Everything Will Be Ok by Don Hertzfeldt. I saw it as part of The Animation Show 3, and it struck me with its deft handling of serious matters. And so I present to you three works by Don Hertzfeldt.
