An Early Disney CG Animation Test...from '83!
...while scoping the 'Tube for something about the the upcoming "WTWTA" movie, I stumbled on this gem!
A Disney CG test, from 1983!...featuring "Where The Wild Things Are" (the film rights to which they eventually lost...for not using it? DOH!)...aaannd... directed by John Lasseter!!!
Peep this awesome clip, which combines 2D animation ('real' animation, baybee! Kickin' it old school!) and "state-of-the-art"(at the time) CG animation.
Enjoy!
...and on the come up? 2D Renaissance: Join The Pencil Movement!

Supreme Fall '07...

...as the reviews for Transformers: The Game for the 360 are sounding less than promising, I think I might just kick it old school with Tetris... Now, got to find me some mates, stackhats, and some silver jumpsuits...and hilarity shall ensue!!!

Picked up these sweet tees by Sicmat(?) a few weeks back from Greyone x Social in the Phils...
The friction between these two tees is palpable!...(or maybe it's just me going slightly mental)... I put 'em on separate sides (coasts!...yeah, yeah.. I said it...) of the wardrobe! (actually, my "Hippo" suitcase...livin' out of that at the mo')
I haven't rocked 'em yet...not because I can't choose between 'em (Tupac)...but because 'white' shows off my (years worth of) "winter-weight"...

hmmm...Bacon...

...and of course, Diet Coke with Bacon.

--Rod Steiger in "Run Of the Arrow"
It turns out that one of my favorite pub games, "Six Degrees Of Kevin Bacon" , at which I'm fairly good at (at least before I've had too many Goose&T's...at which point I just make stuff up!), is a little bit inaccurate...It seems that Brett Tjaden, a computer scientist at the University of Virginia, not only calculated the "Bacon Number" of more than a quarter of a million actors...but also calculated the degrees of connectedness of every actor who's ever acted in Hollywood! (I guess someone had to...)
...and Bacon only ranked 669th!!!
And at the top af the heap? ROD STEIGER! (Steiger's "Bacon Number" is 2.679...as opposed to Bacon's 2.8312 )
Click the links for everything you wanted to know (and stuff you didn't) about the Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon, The Bacon number, and etcetebladiblah...
...and of course: The Oracle of Bacon!
* Pope John Paul II's "Bacon Number"?.... 3
** "Six Degrees of Rod Steiger" ( one or more players, and all you need is a good imagination): Substitute Rod Steiger in all of Kevin Bacon's films...and hit your mind's 'play' button!....waitaminute!!!...Steiger (circa' now) in "Wild Things"??.....eeew. Game over.
