[Power of the Geek part 3]

I like this series

Very cool movie, but not all geeks are dudes, y'know.

Ben-Spurgin responds:

I guess I didn't make the girl in this one geeky enough... although technically the one who said "ooh free porn" and pointed at the sky had a mullet, and could have possibly been female! Don't worry, I'll throw some girls in part 4 for ya!

[Bonzi Buddy part 1]

I'm so glad u made this

i assume that you've actually been stupid enough to download that piece of shit, like I was. What the hell was I thinking? it took 4ever 2 download and it turns out that the Bonzi is in fact an incomplete product and all the cool stuff is stuff u have 2 pay 4.
Bonzi's totally gay, and he looks like a purple tit w/ arms, legs and a head.

You do, thou, need to make the filesize smaller.

[Attack of the ...]

Ha Ha

Funny little movie.

..."Attack of the clones" is soooo fake. Lucas is pullin' our collective chains.

[Goo - Part 1]

Very Pixy

I hope that this comparison does not offend; it's intended as a compliment, but this work reminds me very much of Pixar's earliest works when CGI as art was just being born. "Luxo Jr." won an oscar in 1986, and that was with cutting edge graphics computers. "Goo" looks just as good thanks to Moore's Law.

The art and style are only a little the same, but the attitude and presentation are particualrly close. The object given life and life-like movement along with a personality and a problem.

John Lasseter displayed genius when he transformed a swivel-headed lamp into a being with a personality. "Goo" in this same way has developed a character in its short lenght. What does the audience know about the goo? We know that it is rescourceful, smart, and has emtions. It is depressed with its state, it seems. We also can tell that it is rebellious.

The story also carries a Pixy spirt, in a way. A defiant goo ball have trouble with established rules and larger forces (earl Pixar was almost all baby-boomers; maybe still is).

And, like "Luxo Jr." and other Pixar films like it (there was one about a red bike that I've not seen) the character and the interesting plot are telegraphed without dialogue, but we still understand.

And Last but not least... a special guest star... the ever-fabulous beach ball! LOL... Anyway, this is a great movie, and I really like seeing a powerful implement like flash used properly.

[Jap Crap!]

Japanese?

Wait a minute-- that's the little depressed dude from the zoloft commercial! That was American as hashish Apple pie!

[Poor Mikey!]

Yikes!

Maybe if public service announcements were like that, more people could b reached.
