I would have liked the Russian one better if it had been about half as long. An animated short should not feel that endless and plodding. (It felt very much like reading a Russian novel, which I suppose was the point, but OMG.)

The Canadian one was my favorite in terms of overall mood and style, but I think the Lennon one will win.

Yeah, the Russian one was way long. Beautiful but VERY Russian. And WTF with the really ugly animals in Peter and the Wolf?

The King of Kong: A Fistful of Quarters tonight. Lots of fun!

Yeah, I really didn't like the animation style in that one - the motions were jerky and awkward, and the character design was just ugly. DH thinks it has a shot at the Oscar. I think he's nuts.

Have you (or anyone) seen the live action shorts? We were supposed to see both on Saturday, but got shut out of the Academy screening (we'll save my rant on how having people RSVP via phone and making the line first-come-first-served is THE DUMBEST THING EVER for another day) so we went downtown and saw the Magnolia Pictures release of just the animated shorts instead.

Yay! I loved that movie.

Ha! Heath Ledger was so good that it's taking three actors to take his place in Imaginarium : Johnny Depp, Colin Farrell and Jude Law.

i'm really glad that project is going ahead.

puzzling clip from Where the Wild Things Are. Watch it now before it goes ::poof::

Iiiiiiiiinteresting. That's not what I would have expected from that movie at all.

that was very bizarre.

Oh, it's by Spike Jonze and Dave Eggers. That explains it.
