"You're gonna like the way you look...I gwarantee it."

Poor bastard had to get a voice coach to learn how to say that phrase correctly.

i just saw a bunch of circles. i didnt get it. must be an artsy thing.

I saw a mens warehouse commercial.

I've always wanted to buy a men's warehouse so I could store all my manly possessions, do you remember anything from the commercial?

Lighthouse girl was great, the animation was wonderful, the only thing that bothered me was the story. It was kinda lacking.

A comment of yours I actually appreciate.

Anyone recommend any good reads? (Preferably sciencey or interesting at least)

If you've not read them:

The Hitchhiker's Guide To The Galaxy, 1984, 2001, Monkey Planet (Planet of the Apes), Alice in Wonderland & Through the Looking Glass, Small Gods and any (and all) of the Myron Bolitar novels by Harlen Coben.

how about the entire hitchhikers guide to the galaxy series, ending with the newest one by eoin colfer?

the newest one isnt as great as the others but eoin mimics Adams' style quite well

BOOKS

I'm more of a fantasy reader actually, Pendragon and Eragon are deff two series to look into, if you're into that sorta thing :P
(Eragon is typical dragon boy fantasy, but really good, Pendragon however is like crossing worlds and stuff, its damn cool!)

Eragon was quite a good book, haven't read the sequel. The Eragon movie is completely terrible though, they took so many short cuts just to make the movie shorter that pretty much the whole story was ruined. I would have much prefered watching a four hour movie that was actually good like the story than watch the 90min piece of crap they made. Another good series is The Edge Chronilces!!!

omg i haven't read that one in a while. loved that series and the little maps at the beginning of each book. the story didnt take place in a really big area so the maps were small and you could get a good idea of where everything was easily.

i still remember the maps. but ive forgotten the LOTR maps.

I pronounce it like drake-bell.

The book version of 21 is way better than the movie. I really liked it.

Lighthouse Girl
Argh! I can't believe I missed it! It was even on my calender! Oh well, I'll have to wait for him to put it on video.

I just finished a pencil test on my new animation desk(yayearlychristmas). Its a rough blocking pass of an acting scene. I'm trying to make it look like the characters thinking, and hopefully portray an idea of what's happening. I'm not sure if it's very clear. If you guys could try and guess the emotions or thoughts of my character, that'd help me out a lot!

He's surprised, then in disbelief, then angry, hits a wall, then is sad or something and the camera turns a bit to show more of a side view?

I couldn't believe it either. I was ACTUALLY 'LIKE' 'what the fu**'. I turned into a physical embodiment of sorts that resembled WTF. There is no other way to describe it

mine is Germ. It's about this guy who develops an advanced strain of ebola which spreads all around the world. And he has this list of 10,000 people, and whoever is on that list will get ebola, everyone else will just develop a common case of the flu.
