I like to think that the world that the cars in CARS lives in thrives on CO2 and carbon monoxide, so I don't have to feel so bad about liking the movie so much. <BR/><BR/>Regarding SCANNER DARKLY, yes, I am actually interested in seeing this film. Although I am harboring some ill-will towards the producers for yanking the project out from under the original animation director, Bob Sabiston. He was the one that came up with the program Rotoshop, what they dub "interpolated rotoscoping." I like the process, I loved the film WAKING LIFE, and have always dug the way that Sabiston approached his work. I love risk-taking and that's what Bob and initial gang of animators did for that first movie. SCANNER DARKLY is bound to be a dud at the box office, but I don't care. I'm very curious to see just how the software and the animators approach the film. That's it, really. I'm just very very curious.Ward Jenkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05013085293679968596noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984824.post-1151416443289583492006-06-27T06:54:00.000-07:002006-06-27T06:54:00.000-07:00Those weeks alone are good prep for the inevitable...Those weeks alone are good prep for the inevitable LIFE alone that Wendy and I now see rapidly approaching (believe me Ward, the time flies!) as our boys attend middle and high school. <BR/><BR/>Did you find it at all ironic that the two movies you so thoroughly enjoyed represent the diametric opposite philosophies in the global warming crisis?<BR/><BR/>CARS may be intended as innocent fun, but the decision to anthropamorphize (is that a word?) cars as people underscores our society's love affair with the single most destructive force of life on the planet.<BR/><BR/>I bet "BIKES" would not have had nearly as much success. ;-)leifpenghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07232334860061949895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984824.post-1151380411138918332006-06-26T20:53:00.000-07:002006-06-26T20:53:00.000-07:00...A Scanner Darkly?...Seriously?Oh Ward, you poor......A Scanner Darkly?...Seriously?<BR/>Oh Ward, you poor poor man.Adam Fordhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01818667099955610258noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984824.post-1151296625452288392006-06-25T21:37:00.000-07:002006-06-25T21:37:00.000-07:00i can't wait to see 'strangers with candy', the tv...i can't wait to see 'strangers with candy', the tv show was hilarious!meridithhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10908142105118039918noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8984824.post-1151272748903560952006-06-25T14:59:00.000-07:002006-06-25T14:59:00.000-07:00We saw An Inconvenient Truth on Sat too.
