Rate the Last Short You Saw
 
Basically it's the same idea as Rate the Last Movie You Saw but with Shorts!

Don't know if this will work, but I feel Shorts should have more presence here on Mofo, so it's worth a try!

Note: A film has to be less than 40 minutes to be considered a short.

The Masquerader (Charlie Chaplin, 1914)

The sountrack is great, and I really liked the first half. The second one though is not that good.
It's also funny to see Chaplin without his moustache!

Pixels (Patrick Jean, 2010)

Today I learned that the upcoming Adam Sandler vehicle is actually an expanded adaptation of this 2010 animated short. It's only about two-and-a-half minutes but it's good enough for what it is. Will post a more detailed review when the time comes.

I posted all my short film viewing ratings in Movie Tab II before. Might reconsider.

Please do! It'd be nice to keep this active!



Btw, there's a Short HoF starting in a week! Everyone's welcome! The thread is already created!

Re: Rate the Last Short You Saw
 
Also, just for the sake of reference, what is the maximum length before a short stops being considered a short?

True, but when in the 'now playing' area of active threads it doesn't show avatars. :( But I don't think it will be a true problem. It's a cool thread neiba, awesome that you want to shine a little light on shorts! :up:

As far as I know, it has to be 40 minutes or less to be considered a short film.

Yeah, I was thinking 40 minutes was the maximum length. That might have to go in the OP so as to save other people asking.

Mothlight (Stan Brakhage, 1963)

I always find hard to tell something about Stan Brackhage experimental shorts. This one is one of the most visually interesting ones I've see so far. It's still pretty weird though!

Lovely, Very Romantic, I really love it.
i think it inspired the oscar winning short "paperman" but i think this one is way better!
