The Oscars are coming up, and I'm happy to see that Toy Story 3 is in the running for Best Picture. I'm not saying that it's the best choice, but I'm glad to see it up there. Many people think it shouldn't be there because they believe all animated films are just for kids which is definitely not the case. I'm not going to go into explaining the sad parts of Wall-E or the end of Toy Story, but instead give you some examples of unknown animated movies I've recently watched myself.

The first two I viewed were Watership Down and Plague Dogs. I enjoyed Plague Dogs more than Watership Down, but both were entertaining, even though very depressing at times. For older films, the animation is superb. It takes a lot of hard work to put in so much detail in making an animated animal look real that other companies don't want to put the time and money into it. So, they make the cartoony versions you see in films such as Madagascar. If you're going to check these out, let me give you a warning. Even though these movies were meant for children...that is not the case. There are many gory scenes in Watership Down which I kind of like because it takes away the whole cutesy title of rabbits and shows that like all other animals, they shed blood to survive and protect their territories. Plague Dogs is much the same.
Here's an amv someone made with most of the disturbing scenes of Watership Down to a Marilyn Manson song (why would you do that bro)

The Falcon's Official Oscar Predictions

The Falcon has landed on guilded Oscar Eve to give all the good little boys and girls of the Oak (that means the only sleepers are gonna be some of the Falcon's picks...oh schnap!)  FI a bevvy of predictions for tomorrow's contenders. They are listed in the order of the Falcon's preference.

Best Picture: 
1. The Social Network
2. The King's Speech
3. Toy Story 3
4. Black Swan 
5. Inception
6. Winter's Bone
7. The Fighter
8. Blue Valentine
9. The Kids Are Alright
10. True Grit

The obvious omissions here are Danny Boyle's 127 Hours and Ben Affleck's The Town. I think Oscar will snub Big Ben, but give Renner the nod more to make ammends for The Hurt Locker passover. I think the Academy will also not allow Weinstein's canvassing be for naught, but will let Boyle's adaptation slip through the cracks. Sorry. I couldn't resist.

A Simple Job

Well I have not posted in forever (I Apologize). I thought I would post my short film from last semester. It was primarily shot on 16mm color film on the Arri SRII, with exception for a small portion being shot on the Cannon T2i and a handycam. It was edited on Final Cut Pro. I tried to keep things as simple as possible for my first try on film stock. This semester I'll be shooting digital for my film, so I'm going for something much more grand in size.

ANVIL IS IN The Green Hornet!!!

I went and saw The Green Hornet this weekend. When I was watching the movie within the first 5 minutes of the movie I noticed that Anvil was playing in the background on the Tv screen in the background stands Lips. i thought this was very ironic how we had just watch Anvil: The Story of Anvil.

The Earth Does Not Exist

A Book by Nyawh

A spark on how a man like Seth Grossman can get published so i can too.

One day I came up with the idea that the earth really doesn’t exist, well nothing actually exists in our world. We are mearly the imagination of something called GOD. Every level above that god is another GOD. GOD stands for Great Omnipotent Dreamer.

Yea that’s right god exists. But also doesn’t at the same time because he is only being though up by someone else that ultimately doesn’t exist. So in the big picture it goes full circle. We only learn the god thinks up over time and he only thinks up with the GOD above him thinks up. So I guess someone in our world is just dreaming up another world making him GOD. So here is where we end up, me writing the book that is dreamed up by GOD. Just think about it…


i was bored.
