The Dark Knight

If anyone posts spoilers/ruins the plot of the Dark Knight for me, I will see to it that you die a painful death.

You have been warned.

Curiosity killed the moose.

That was a lorry, actually. R.I.P to my gangley brethren.

You fuckers are ignorant.

Now you just look like a douche troll.

Animating frame-by-frame in flash is almost exactly like animating with a pen, paper and lightbox. Simplicity itself. If flash did 'improve' this by making it more more complex, it would alienate a lot of its users (the 13-15 year olds) and fail in its purpose as a universally available medium for a would-be animator or web-designer.

You have an opinion, which is fair enough, but stop trying to enforce on people who LOVE THE BLOODY PROGRAM. You're only destined for disappointment and flashes (pun) of rage. Stop trying to 'enlighten' us, please. We're happy as we are. Indeed, some might say ignorance is bliss.

Now gtfo.

Flash is perfect for what it does: making FLASH. Maya is an incredibly powerful standard to compare anything to do; it's used in lots of large effects companies (in Spiderman 3, The Sandman was rendered in Maya) and just happens to be available to the public. Flash was initially for web-design and has been adapted to create animations rather than being specifically created with the intention of producing ridiculously intricate and complex special effects.

Oh, and don't come to a FLASH lounge and badmouth FLASH.

The Dark Knight is not as good as Hancock

LIP-SYNC AND ANIMATION TEST

Quite a far-cry from my usual style - I'm quite enjoying this.

It's called a V-Cam. Google it, playah.

He was de-modded 'cause he tried the Jmtb02 pizza twice.

Everything is A-OK.

Up the arse.

This Weekend

On my weekends I usually work in WHSmith. The same goes for this one. Granted, it's around £40 I would otherwise not have had, but it sure is DULL.

Have you ever received customer abuse?

Once a customer told me I was filthy whilst I tried to help her find an envelope (she didn't want a pink envelope for the card she was buying, so she asked me to find her a white one). I had the hiccups at the time. After three minutes of fastidious searching, she piped up with the following:

"I'm sorry, this is just unacceptable"

" :D ?"

"This really isn't very good customer service at all. You're filthy and getting finger prints all over the cards and you're hiccuping, which is disgusting. Please leave me alone"

"Sorry, ma'am, I can't help the hiccups"

"Yes well-"

"And I'm sorry if I can't help you, it's hardly my fault whether the card has a pink or white envelope. And as far as my filthy self is concerned, I'm afraid that I haven't had a break for three hours now and am not allowed to go upstairs to wash my hands as there is only one other person on the shop floor"

"I'd like to speak to the manager"

"She's not in :D"
Alex aka BritishMoose walks away.

That was merely one example of an overly fussy customer, there have been many, many more. It's funny, 'cause one can tell which customers are most likely to cause a Ruckus: they're generally middle-aged (late thirties to mid-forties), female and well-spoken. It annoys me that such people walk into a shop and expect the sales assistant to be completely subservient regardless of what little respect they show them.

The aforementioned woman called up the next day and complained to the manager. Apparently I was filthy and obnoxious. Pft.

People sure are pathetic some times.

END BLOG

If you're gonna post in the thread:

1. Include a brief description of the film.
2. Include a picture.
3. Do not just say Movie X is good. Include reasons as to why we ought to see it if we haven't already.

Thank you.

A Scanner Darkly

It's a film all about drug culture and abuse in a somewhat odd near-future. The whole movie is completely rotoscoped to a very high level, making it quite visually stunning - at times I couldn't tell whether it was being shot in real-life or if it was animation.

Trailer!

It's an odd film certainly, but it's a must-see purely because it's an animation not aimed at small children. Quite trippy.

This place doesn't feel like home anymore.

Not since Senti started drinking again.

I've been in Thailand for the last 10 days visiting my girlfriend and subsequently getting dumoed. I'll be back tomorrow and be in a bad mood, so be on your best behaviour. k? k.

Travels

Anyone traveling at all this year?

I'm off to Thailand tomorrow. Later peoples.

I'm sorry, but could you clarify something for me...do you mean one, or 1?

I love coaly with all my <3 (heart).

Re: IRL

It's only a ridiculous term if you choose to interpret it as such. The fact is that some times we need to make a distinction between our lives and our aliases (usually for the sake of an annecdote or something similar), so it's useful in the sense that we need it for clarity.

The animation in Gay Purr-ee (Lawl if you must) looks surprisingly modern (in reference to the thick, black lines). I think it's a 1960s animation, showing how timeless-a medium we're dabbling in. Check out 7 minutes in for what I mean.

"Jaune Tom! Jaune Tom! A Moose! A Moose - I mean, a Mouse!"

Also, Babar is one of my favourite series of all time. I love that regal Elephant with all my heart. The parade sequence I linked you too is from the 1989 movie and is just fantastic. I like the clown who makes the baby cry.
