[jiraffejustin]

Swan, I'm going to see that video in my nightmares.

[Godoggo]

I can't wait for my Thanksgiving Meal. We are having it Monday since I work Thursday

Blerg. I am going to hate Thanksgiving this year. I'd rather spend the day at the dentist.

Oh well. This too shall pass. Gobble gobble.

[Miss Vicky]

I'm not a fan of family gatherings in general, but I dislike Thanksgiving a lot less since I officially went back to eating meat.

[Swan]

My biggest fear this Thanksgiving is that someone will bring up my crap music and the whole room will want to hear it. If that does happen, I'll probably go hide in a corner in a separate room the rest of the night.

Why do you hate it?

It's technically my favorite holiday, but it has been ruined by the greed and selfishness of this world for me, which is a damn shame.

You just sounded like Rorschach, Raul.

[Godoggo]

That would make it easier for me. I have to be the one singled out with a bunch of people I don't know. I hate that.

[rauldc14]

I am not a big fan of it either, but usually when I'm with people I know I'm a fan.

Tell them no. Say to them, "no, you bitchasses. "

[Sexy Celebrity]

It's technically my favorite holiday,
That's interesting to me that you consider Thanksgiving your favorite holiday since we have the same birthday, which is close to Thanksgiving. I've never considered it my favorite. November just always means my birthday more than Thanksgiving.

[jiraffejustin]

My favorite holiday and my birthday are on the same day. Every year.

[Godoggo]

Why do you hate it?

It's technically my favorite holiday, but it has been ruined by the greed and selfishness of this world for me, which is a damn shame.

I don't normally hate it, because normally I don't have to celebrate it. I'm not fond of traditional thanksgiving foods, except for mashed potatoes. Yum. Also, I have to go celebrate it with Tim's family many of whom I'll be meeting for the first time. :eek:

[Swan]

JJ, go listen to the Contagion soundtrack. That's the kind of film scoring I would like to do. But also orchestral stuff like TWBB.

[gbgoodies]

Most of my family has moved out of state, so the last few years, Thanksgiving has just been hubby, my in-laws, and me at a Chinese buffet restaurant.

Thanksgiving is no longer a turkey holiday for us. Now it's more about wonton soup, egg rolls, and other Chinese foods.

[Godoggo]

I still have to listen to your music, Swan. I haven't been home much lately. Yesterday, all I did was put number ten up, take care of the dogs and go to bed when I got home.

[rauldc14]

You'll survive.:D

My wife makes the best stuffing ever. And I used to not like stuffing, but it is really great. Between that and mashed potatoes I am good to go.

I think I'd be a huge holiday fan in general but retail has killed it for me.

[Swan]

It hurts my heart. It hurts my stomach. It hurts my arms.

We go about every other week to get Chinese. It is oh so delicious. A good egg roll is something to be desired.

Very understandable.

I used to go eat at an Asian restaurant on Thanksgiving. I wish I was going there.

[gbgoodies]

We usually go out for Chinese food about once every 2-3 months. I would go more often because I love it, but hubby doesn't like to eat it too often for health reasons.

I love the Mongolian Bar, where you can choose your own meats, veggies, and sauces, and they cook it right in front of you.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Where is Honeykid? I haven't seen him around.

[rauldc14]

Where is Honeykid? I haven't seen him around.

Probably watching Charlie's Angels.

[jiraffejustin]

JJ, go listen to the Contagion soundtrack. That's the kind of film scoring I would like to do. But also orchestral stuff like TWBB.

I'll probably do that tomorrow evening. I need to go to bed, but I kind of want to watch Le Trou instead.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Mmmmmm. The only problem is I often screwed up what I put together and it would come out funky.

But it was a tasty as Hell kind of funky.

I'm really looking forward to Christmas. My dad will be here and we will go out to eat on Christmas. My family was always a big fan of going out to eat on holidays. I think we are going to drive to Orlando because it's prettier there and there will be more stuff to do. Gainesville is like a ghost town on Christmas.

[rauldc14]

You should watch Le Trou. I need to see that one soon here.

[Swan]

I'll probably do that tomorrow evening.

YOU F*CKING DICK!

[jiraffejustin]

Just choose all the meat and broccoli.

[Godoggo]

Watch it. It's really good.

[jiraffejustin]

YOU F*CKING DICK!

BRING IT! YOU BITCHASS!

[rauldc14]

Very understandable.

Hopefully this can be my last holiday season. It would be a sigh of relief to get holidays off.

[Swan]

BRING IT! YOU BITCHASS!

[rauldc14]

The Mongolian Bars at ours just are no good.

However we have a hibachi place near us that is to die for. But we only go once a year because it's fairly pricey.

[gbgoodies]

Mmmmmm. The only problem is I often screwed up what I put together and it would come out funky.

I make the same dish every time when I use the Mongolian Bar. Chicken, beef, snow pea pods, and a lot of baby corns, all over lo mien noodles, with teriyaki sauce. :)

[gbgoodies]

No broccoli. I hate broccoli.

Now, see, that actually sounds like a Sexy Celebrity dish, especially since you mixed meats and included snow peas and baby corn. But I'd also throw in shrimp and more stuff. Cashews.

Yeah, we have an expensive hibachi restaurant here too. We went there once on New Years Eve because they had a special party going on, but we've never gone back because they're too expensive. But they were very good. We just would rather go to a nice steakhouse if we're going to spend that much money on dinner.

[Godoggo]

Cashews are so good. I could put them in almost anything.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Not cashews. I mean WATER CHESTNUTS.

It's all about the water chestnuts.

[jiraffejustin]

That's racist against broccoli.

I don't eat shrimp, or any other seafood. Nothing from the sea.

Hubby would add cashews, but I don't care for most nuts, unless they're covered in chocolate like goobers, or Mr. Goodbars.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Though, I like cashews, too.

Some people say the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist. That's actually the second greatest trick the devil ever pulled. The greatest trick the devil ever pulled: water chestnuts. That sh*t is gross.

[rauldc14]

Cashews and Water Chestnuts are both insanely good. Both essential stir fry ingredients.

[Swan]

Love cashews. I like cash too.

[Sexy Celebrity]

You hate water chestnuts?!

[Swan]

What I really love are cash shoes, though.

[gbgoodies]

That's racist against broccoli.


It's not racist. It's just that broccoli is tasteless.

[Swan]

You're so racist, gb. Broccoli are people too.

[gbgoodies]

I don't think I've ever tried water chestnuts.

[jiraffejustin]

Definitely racist.

[rauldc14]

I don't like broccoli stems, but the other part is good.

[jiraffejustin]

You hate water chestnuts?!

Yeah, dude.

[jiraffejustin]

Well then the Broccoli people are welcome to hate me back. It won't change my opinion. I still hate broccoli.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Water chestnuts are tasteless, really. There's just something about the crunch to them that I like.

[Sexy Celebrity]

I've ate entire cans of water chestnuts before.

[jiraffejustin]

If I want something crunchy, I always have few bags of potato chips in the cabinet. Potato chips are crunchy, and delicious. :)

[Sexy Celebrity]

Broccoli isn't one of my favorite vegetables, either, but I'll still eat it and eat it gladly.

[rauldc14]

I think I'd rather eat water chestnuts as a snack then chips. However I never do. They have to be a fairly healthy alternative to chips I would think.

[jiraffejustin]

If you want something with a bit of a crunch and no taste, just eat some rocks.

I had chips tonight. Those cheddar cheese Pringle things. You heard the story. But I felt kinda sick afterwards. Too salty. No more chips like those for awhile. I'll stick to BBQ Utz. Those were better.

[rauldc14]

Hurts just thinking about it.

[gbgoodies]

throw soy sauce on it, then broccoli's a legitimate asset to your meal


Nah, it's still broccoli. It's just disguised with sauce.

[jiraffejustin]

I had some broccoli with catalina dressing and bacon the other day. It made me happy.

Pringles keeps coming out with limited edition flavors that I like, and then they take them away. :(

[rauldc14]

I haven't had chips in a long time. I'm on a roll staying away from those.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Now, look -- I don't recommend it.

Only if you have them and you need to bite something with a slim amount of taste. They're more watery and plain on their own.

You go to chips for taste pleasure. You go to cans of water chestnuts when you're feeling anemic.

I always have bags of fun size chocolates for taste pleasure. :)

[Sexy Celebrity]

I eat chocolate to stabilize my mood. I like chocolate cake donuts the most.

[jiraffejustin]

I eat the booty for taste pleasure.

[rauldc14]

Entenmann's Devil's Food Crumb Donuts. Mmmmm.

http://joelbrigham.files.wordpress.com/2010/09/entenmannscrumbdonuts.jpg

[Sexy Celebrity]

Do you know what kind of Pringles I just saw?!

WHITE CHOCOLATE.
PECAN PIE.
CINNAMON SUGAR.

And I think something else, but I forget what.

I almost bought them, but they just don't seem... right.

Although I could go for the White Chocolate right now... I must need to stabilize.

I saw the White Chocolate Pringles at Walmart recently, and I wanted to buy them, but hubby didn't want to so we bought White Cheddar Cheese Doodles instead. If I can find them at 50-75% off after the holidays, I'll probably try them.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Now, see, that's like what I did. I said no to the white chocolate chips and hello to the cheddar cheese chips.

[Godoggo]

Oh, Mr. Goodbars! I haven't had one of those for a really long time. I must go get one since I can't sleep. I went to bed too early and now, I'm up. I might take a nap around six.

I could practically live off nuts. Cashews and walnuts are my favorites, but almonds are close. And pistachios. Those a little rich though and I can only eat a few. I could a pound of walnuts.

[gbgoodies]

I like pistachios, but I only like the red ones, and they turn my fingertips red, so I rarely eat them.

[honeykid]

Does anyone actually eat their steak well done?
I do. Y'know when you cut red meat and it's pink? Yeah, that **** ain't cooked. Put it back in until it's all the same colour :yup: And, while I'm at it, al dente? That's Italian for not cooked yet. :D

[Miss Vicky]

If your steak is all one color, either it's not been cooked at all or it's been ruined. I don't want my meat still mooing, but it should still be bleeding a little.

[Daniel M]

Just booked tickets to go and see 2001: A Space Odyssey in the cinema here in Cardiff on December 4th :cool:

Nevermind. I'm sure you can get your money back. ;)

Sure, give me nightmares before I go to sleep!

[Sexy Celebrity]

The funny thing is -- there's no lard scene in the book. The guy's name is Proculus, right? Caligula doesn't fist him -- he just f***s him up the ass. I went looking for that scene in the book because I was gonna take a picture of it, hoping to find the word "lard."

It's an extremely explicit book, from how it appears. More X-rated than the movie.

[The Gunslinger45]

Either way, buggery is a thing of nightmares.

I'm with you on two out of three. Water chestnuts are gross and broccoli is yummy. Water chestnuts taste like crunchy water. I find something about that disturbing. :p

[jiraffejustin]

Crunchy Water sounds like a good band name.

[Godoggo]

It does. Maybe for a crust-punk band.

[JayDee]

Hello to all the commoners. Guess what I'm doing tomorrow - I'm going to the ballet. Yes you read that right, all you low-class, inbred, cousin marrying pieces of trailer trash with double digit IQs; unlike all of you I'm actually going to be enjoying some culture.

Though to be fair it's not quite as highfalutin as it sounds. I'm going to see the Edward Scissorhands ballet! :D I've actually seen it before about 9 or 10 years ago I think it was. I don't remember anything about it other than that I enjoyed it.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfLZYP8_xHg


Well at least the plan is to go and see it tomorrow night. It's in a little bit of question however because I am still heavily man flu'd up! I think I'll be able to manage though. Although if in the next few days you see something on the news about a man flu epidemic breaking out in Glasgow you'll know who patient zero is! :p

[The Gunslinger45]

What? No Sweeney Todd on Ice? :D

[Sexy Celebrity]

Though to be fair it's not quite as highfalutin as it sounds. I'm going to see the Edward Scissorhands ballet!

I hated hearing that you had to take a polygraph test. I've heard those things are actually pseudo-scientific and can't actually tell if you're telling the truth or not. Which makes sense, I think. That thing is like palm reading almost.

People have been accused of doing something wrong that they didn't actually do, all because the polygraph test said differently.

As long as you are honest with the interviewer, the polygraph is a piece of cake. Now that being said there is a reason polygraphs are not admissible in court. Hell Ted Bundy passed polygraphs about his crimes and he killed lots of people.

It is more of a job screening tool in this case. And the actual time I spend hooked up to the polygraph is limited. A good hour and a half is discussing the info I volunteered, and the polygraph asks am I hiding anything else.

[honeykid]

As they say, it's a job looking for a job. Hang in there, Dustin. Don't give up looking. :)

Everyone except the people who religiously watch Maury Povich (besides me), where they hook people up to polygraph machines every day to see if someone is the baby daddy or not.

Glad to hear.

Been in a while. But been busy, just chilling for a bit before I sleep. :)

[honeykid]

Cool. Thinking about going to be in the next half an hour or so myself.

[Rhys]

Cool. I'm just getting some music sorted on my laptop because I have to reset it. At least I have Windows 8 which made resetting easy. I need a varied amount of music. For my personal use and for when I am playing music in my university flat during parties and things.

[The Gunslinger45]

I myself work tonight. So yeah fun. :D

[Rhys]

That sucks! :(

[The Gunslinger45]

Not really. I need the cash. :D

I'll see what happens when I get there. To be honest I think I would like to try get straight into what I love doing, even if I have to start very low. That's to work with films in some way or another; even a small role.

[Rhys]

Anyway. I think I will sleep now. Goodnight! :)

[honeykid]

Night Rhys. I'm off too. Night, MoFo's. :)

I wouldn't quite say I loved it and it certainly won't be turning me into a ballet fan but I did enjoy it. The sets and staging were great, as were the costumes. Plus it had the original film score which is a beautiful, haunting piece of work. The dancing itself was a little hit and miss for me. Some of it (like the ice dance) was lovely but other bits were just too dancy for me and a bit of overkill.

Oh and at the end it snows on stage and then it snows on the audience. And I was in prime position for the snow so I ended up near drowning in the foamy snow stuff they were firing over the crowd. My black coat quickly became a zebra-striped coat and then a full-on white coat. My hair looked like it had the most extreme case of dandruff ever. And with my bushy beard at the moment catching some as well I was rocking a bit of a Santa Claus look

I actually do not go to the theater (meaning plays). It is a very rare occasion for me. But I might try to see The Book of Mormon as it is coming to Jacksonville in February.

I go every so often but not as much as I'd like; can be a pricey night out. What have I seen over the years - Joseph and the Amazing Technicolour Dreamcoat, Beauty and the Beast, a Chinese State circus/Cirque du Soleil show, Gotta Sing Gotta Dance, Slava's Snow Show and a couple of other shows I'm sure that I can't think of. Last thing I saw (before the ballet obviously) was a production of Blood Brothers with Marti Pellow and one of Nolan sisters (neither name will mean anything to anyone outside the UK I'm guessing). That was very good. I love the big song from that show - "Tell Me It's Not True"

As a huge fan of Trey Parker and Matt Stone I'd also love to see Book of Mormon sometime. Oh and I'd love to see The Lion King on stage someday


Anyway I think I'll settle down pretty shortly. Rather tired.

[Sexy Celebrity]

I don't remember snow falling on the audience when I saw it... I don't remember a lot about it, actually. The only thing that seems to stick out in my mind was the song number for the slutty woman who tries to have sex with Edward in the laundromat. I thought it was funny.

I wonder if we even saw the same thing, or if they just changed it (since it's been years since I saw it, anyway). Or if I just can't remember ***** anymore.

[rauldc14]

Howdy folks!

[seanc]

Hey Raul. How is your evening?

[rauldc14]

I'm hanging in there. What you got going on?

[seanc]

Just wallowing in misery over The Sopranos over here.

[seanc]

Looks like my computer might be jacked up as well. Which sucks, because as bad as I am on the computer. I am clueless on my phone.

[rauldc14]

I haven't seen it, because, well, I don't watch much TV anymore.

I'd much rather watch and catch up on films.

[seanc]

I haven't seen it, because, well, I don't watch much TV anymore.

I'd much rather watch and catch up on films.

I am almost the same way. My shows keep ending. Parenthood has half a season left. Mad Men seven episodes. Then there is nothing I watch left. I like GOT and True Detective but I got rid of HBO. There are a few of these shows I know you would love.

[Swan]

Two random strangers liked my new song on Soundcloud. There is no better feeling.

[seanc]

Very cool. Your making art over there.

[Swan]

Very cool. Your making art over there.

It's just good to see appreciation like that. I'm kind of insecure about my artistic abilities and when people who are close to me tell me they like it, it's not that I don't believe them but I have to wonder if they are just saying it to be nice. You know? When two random people like it, you know it's genuine.

[seanc]

I don't think anyone would disagree with that line of thinking.

[seanc]

Off to bed. My boys get up way too early to hang out with you hooligans all night.

[Swan]

Night Sean!

[Godoggo]

Just some advice from someone who is new to an art form and trying so very hard to improve. :D Don't be insecure about your abilities. They are what they are and with hard work they will get better no matter what. My insecurities really impeded my progress because I was always comparing myself to others and coming up short.

I really get what your saying about people close to you evaluating your art. They are just not the best ones to do so. Of course, they will say they like it. People who like you want to be nice to you. :D I got so sick of hearing "that looks good" about each and every drawing I drew. Especially, when I first started. I started with a very low skill set. I knew my drawings weren't any good. I wanted to hear what was wrong with it so I could improve. That's rough to put on my friends though because they want to be supportive. Or they don't want me to be hurt and angry with them. Either way, that's a nice friend but a horrible critic.

It's so fun and exciting and maddening and frustrating learning to create something. I'm glad you started getting into this so much. It's kinda weird, or maybe not, but I've become way more confident since I've started to learn to draw. I don't even care that I'm not that good yet. :)

Good job on the good critique from the strangers!

Good advice, thanks. I'm trying to get tough skin.

And yeah, you're right. Thankfully JJ has been helpful and given me good criticisms while still being supportive. But, yeah, I want to improve and just telling me "that's good" isn't going to help me. If there is something wrong with it, let me know so I can improve! Makes me think there might be some value to these art classes after all.

[Godoggo]

Yeah, of course you want to hear good things too. I really couldn't find a good art forum where my stuff could get evaluated in a good way. They were either too hard or too soft and unlike Goldilocks I couldn't find the one that was just right.

I want to be evaluated for someone at my level, but a lot of art forums you need to already be very good before they will take you seriously. Umm....Aren't the people in the beginning stages the ones that need the most help? Then there were a couple that everything was "lovely" and "cute". That's sweet, but that's not going to do anything about the fact that every woman I draw has monster bootie.

[Nostromo87]

far as art and drawing is concerned, for anyone interested.. Godoggo, Swan, etc. the best advice i ever got was to do pre-pro (pre-production) ie a practice drawing. basically where you crush out a rough draft with no fear, no erasing, just get it down. when committed and motivated, this step opens up new worlds for me. trains your hand-eye coordination for the particular piece

then when you begin the final work, you can look at your pre-pro, pinpoint what can be improved, and attack your work with preparation, confidence, pride & a sense of fun. the Kratos piece i've posted is the one that really made me a believer in committing to this process

http://oi59.tinypic.com/11qphzq.jpg

[Godoggo]

Do you still lighten your preliminary lines or do you just leave them since it's a rough draft? I always start with basic shapes, do you do that too?

What if because you didn't erase your mistakes it looks crazy? Do you do a second pre-production piece? I'm having no eraser anxiety. My erasers are my best friends. :p

I am not trained in the musical field at all, so I don't really know how to give Swan any proper advice. I just tell him the things I like and if I notice anything that could use improvement. Or I just give him general, cliche, pep-talk-esque advice.

[Godoggo]

With music my ear always goes to the voice. I don't really have a great ear for instruments although there are some I really like. I love a Spanish guitar and I'm partial to a piano.

I did teach myself how to play harmonica by listening to Neil Young and Wille Nelson songs over and over. That's a really easy instrument to learn.

[Miss Vicky]

My Result:


Lady Marmalade - Patti Labelle (1975)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t4LWIP7SAjY#t=51

Sexy, soulful, and full of fun & confidence - you share a lot in common with Patti Labelle's New Orleans themed hit, LADY MARMALADE. We've all heard the newer rendition, but this classic was forged by one of music's most unique divas - It's a playful seduction piece that hits all the right funky notes without being too crass or trying too hard. We're pegging you as the same, a sweet & classy individual who also knows how to have some fun.

I think this thing is broken.

[Sexy Celebrity]

I got Bohemian Rhapsody. Gross.

I did, too.

Bohemian Rhapsody - Queen

Many words have been used to describe Freddie Mercury and Queen's timeless classic BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY: Strange, quirky, blasphemous, invigorating, and of course - epic - All of which are words that could be used to describe the innards of both your mind and soul. A poppy and energetic individual whose imagination knows no bounds, this song's winding thematics and brazenly over-the-top elements were made to accompany you! This is the song you need to be blaring in the car whenever you need a piece of music to make your soul soar.

[Sexy Celebrity]

I think this thing is broken.

Pissed you got Patti Labelle because she's a woman?

[honeykid]

As both Godoggo and I got Hotel California, but neither of us posted the blub, here it is.

Rhythmically unique, reflective, and widely considered to be one of the best songs of all time, The Eagle's HOTEL CALIFORNIA shares a lot in common with you. The song's slow and intrinsically hypnotizing composition gives off vibes of mystery, curiosity, and longing - all wrapped in a classy pseudo-southwestern package. The journey it describes is a lot like your own - a life of opened and closed doors... A mixed bag of emotions that leaves you with the phrase "it gets better" as you try to decipher whether certain elements of your life are of heaven or hell. We're willing to be this song already speaks to you, and if it didn't before we hope it does now.

[gbgoodies]

I have no idea how it's calculating anything from those questions, but I got:

I was okay until about an hour ago, when I started to get a bit dizzy. I haven't figured out why yet, but it's been slowly getting a little bit better for about the past ten minutes or so.

I've had inner ear problems since I was a little kid, but this feels different. It seems to be getting a little better, so hopefully it will pass soon.

[gbgoodies]

I don't know what computer dizziness is, but as long as I'm not doing actual work where I have to look at a lot of little numbers on screen, I usually relax by playing card games on the computer. They've never made me dizzy before.

[Swan]

High blood pressure?

[Sexy Celebrity]

High blood pressure?
That's what I was about to say.

[gbgoodies]

High blood pressure?


I don't think so, but I would have to go to the doctor to find out about that. It's never been an issue for me before.

[Swan]

You guys, I'm terrified the animation list is going to be a giant pile of crap.

[Citizen Rules]

High Blood Pressure will do it. So will the onslaught of a cold or flu. I have a rotten cold right now and have felt dizzy. Low sugar levels can do it too.

[gbgoodies]

You guys, I'm terrified the animation list is going to be a giant pile of crap.


I'm looking forward to it. It will be great if some of my favorites make the list, but even if they don't, I'm having a blast watching a lot of new animated films that I've never seen before.

[gbgoodies]

It could have something to do with low sugar levels. I started feeling a little bit better after I ate dinner a little while ago.

I once hear the best advice from a doctor was if you feeling tired, dizzy, or whatever, drink some water and then eat something. I've been dehydrated and didn't know it. As soon as I drank water I was right as rain. (pun intended)

It's going to be fine. Yes much of the top half is going to be mainstream, super popular Pixar/Disney/Ghibli stuff, but there will be plenty lesser known stuff at the bottom. Just like every MoFo Countdown ever.

[Swan]

You know JJ, in Spain your name would be pronounced hiraffehuston.

[Citizen Rules]

I'll try to participate in the Animation List as much as I can. I didn't watch much but it's up to us all to make it fun or not. Doesn't really matter what wins, its more of what fun you can have while the countdown is on.:)

I agree 100%. My favorites never come out on top, but I always have fun reading about what makes the lists.

[Miss Vicky]

Probably won't be as good as the Time Out list, though.

The time out list is garbage.

[Swan]

Swan and Jiraffes mother of god animation list

It's on. Though, ours will be serious.

[gbgoodies]

Probably won't be as good as the Time Out list, though.


What's the Time Out list?

[Miss Vicky]

An actually good animation list. Miss Vicky hates it just because it has hybrids on it.

http://www.timeout.com/newyork/film/the-100-best-animated-movies

I hate it because it has films on it that go way beyond "hybrid" to be flat out not animated. Also, no way in hell is Pinocchio the best animated movie ever.

[jiraffejustin]

Swan, is our list going to be a straight-up 100 best animated films or 100 really good animations that aren't necessarily canon?

[Swan]

Swan, is our list going to be a straight-up 100 best animated films or 100 really good animations that aren't necessarily canon?

What do you mean? We should include Who Framed Roger Rabbit just to piss off Miss Vicky.

[jiraffejustin]

For instance, I love the Toy Story trilogy, but if we wanted to make our list a little more interesting, we might include three other lesser known films. I guess this is something we could discuss later.

[Swan]

Yeah, we'll work that stuff out.

[Swan]

Holy crap guys, Guaporense is on.

[Miss Vicky]

Besides, a few films like that don't ruin what is otherwise a fantastic list mixed with popular and obscure.

Obscure ≠ good.

Also, some of the films on that list I thought were terrible.

[rauldc14]

Holy crap guys, Guaporense is on.

I hope he will be able to submit a 60s list.

[Miss Vicky]

That's not the point, the point of the list for me was to get people interested in animation to see films they wouldn't normally see.

The point is to get a gauge of what people here like best and to get those not already interested in animation to give it a shot. It succeeds at both.

Also, you're sitting here throwing a tantrum (again) and making gross assumptions when you have no idea what's on the list.

[gbgoodies]

I hate it because it has films on it that go way beyond "hybrid" to be flat out not animated. Also, no way in hell is Pinocchio the best animated movie ever.


I have to agree with Miss Vicky on this one. That list doesn't make a lot of sense. There are a lot of movies that I've never even heard of, the order makes no sense at all, and some of those movies are movies that I wouldn't consider animated, and I wanted hybrids on the list.

And Pinocchio is a good movie, but it's definitely not the #1 animated movie.

[Swan]

Hey JJ, I made a song today I'm going to show you but I'm not uploading it to Soundcloud because the arpeggiated open hi-hat sounds f*cking terrible so I need to fix it but I'm lazy so I'll do it tomorrow anyway I'm going to upload it now and PM you bitchass.

[gbgoodies]

That's not the point, the point of the list for me was to get people interested in animation to see films they wouldn't normally see.


It worked for me. I saw a lot of animated movies that I had never even heard of before I started watching stuff for the animated list.

[rauldc14]

That Time Out list is out of whack, but at least it has everything it should have on it. The order is way off for my personal preferences and it included a few that have no business being there

[Swan]

Of course, none of those are reasons to discount it. Personal preference and whether you've heard of it or not does not list make wrong.

Anyway, I'm done with this conversation. I'm spoken my mind. Miss Vicky is right, I have no idea what will be on the list - but I never said it will be crap. I said I'm terrified it will be. People have been incredibly scattered about it and some of the stuff Miss Vicky has said about it has me worried.

That's the last I'm going to say about it.

[rauldc14]

I'm curious what animation Swan does not like.

[Godoggo]

High Blood Pressure will do it. So will the onslaught of a cold or flu. I have a rotten cold right now and have felt dizzy. Low sugar levels can do it too.

Yep. I have to be careful because my blood pressure tends to go high. I've had those dizzy spells before.

[Miss Vicky]

The wasn't the point of the list for me. :shrug:

And AGAIN you don't know what's going to be on the MoFo Countdown. You're making gross assumptions based on your own insecurities and lack of faith in the ability of a group of film lovers to make a list with as much or more diversity as what Time Out came up with.

The voting process itself will and has done more to get people already interested in animation to watch movies they otherwise would not have seen than any top 100 countdown could do.

Are there some obscure and worthy films on the Time Out list that won't make our countdown? Sure. But I'm confident that you'll find the opposite of that to be true as well.

[Swan]

I'm curious what animation Swan does not like.

I like visually interesting animation. There is so much you can do with the medium and that's why obscure animated films are often so cool because they are visually unique. I'm not too big a fan of a movie like Brave because for a visually uninteresting movie like that, the story has to be good. I love a lot of popular animation, don't get me wrong. I think Pixar was fantastic before Up. My favorite of theirs is WALL-E, followed by Ratatouille. But, the thing I love about animation is how visually creative it can be.

[rauldc14]

Well, creation and visuals are half the battle for me. The best thing about it is the story it tells.

[jiraffejustin]

When you say before Up, does that mean you don't like Up?

[Swan]

Well, creation and visuals are half the battle for me. The best thing about it is the story it tells.

Overall, both are important. I was just identifying something I feel is unique to animation, at least in a really powerful way.

[Swan]

When you say before Up, does that mean you don't like Up?

It's okay, but it marks the downfall of Pixar. Everything before Up was gold, everything after and including Up is mediocre to poor.

[Miss Vicky]

It's okay, but it marks the downfall of Pixar. Everything before Up was gold, everything after and including Up is mediocre to poor.

Um, what?

[rauldc14]

It's okay, but it marks the downfall of Pixar. Everything before Up was gold, everything after and including Up is mediocre to poor.

Friendship over.:p

[Swan]

Toy Story 3 is good, actually. I do like that one even if it's overall a rehash of the second Toy Story.

[Swan]
