Let's just say it's a shame the Target ads were not nominated...

Yeah, on the animation side the best done in my opinion was rising up to the level of merely not awful. Peter and the Wolf had some moments. I loved the animation for My Love, but not for 30 minutes.

Things were better on the live action side in that I didn't hate any of them. But none of them were home runs either. The Tonto Woman was the best film but was long enough that it felt like an hour-long TV drama and started to drift out of what I think of as a "short." Il Supplente was the only one I'd heard of going into things (and I'd heard good things) but I thought it was the weakest of the lot.

Tango Agentine was the favorite among our group. I think it was the best use of the Short Film form. I really liked The Tonto Woman a lot, but it seemed to be a short only by virtue of having adapted a short story.


To my amazement, the animated films were an even more disappointing lot than the live actioners. Though i felt mostly 'meh' about the animateds ... while i truly loathed the other 3 live actioners.



BUT ... a splendid time was had, as usual. And though we forgot to wear shorts ... short foods such as dim sum for lunch and tapas for late supper certainly fit the theme.



Ah, and the shower in the men's room at the tapas joint was quite refreshing!

;)

Yes, the after party at the David Lynch film set was lots of fun.

With hookers from the 80s!

Let's have a bachelor party with chicks and guns and fire trucks and hookers and drugs and booze!

:confused: Huh?


Agreed, disappointing. The Tango one better win. It was the best SHORT SUBJECT. As for animated, eh, whatever.

But I wouldn't have missed it, and will definitely be back next year.

Yes, we should make a short film. YES. Everyone start writing!

Someone on my pug board posted this pic of their cat. It looks almost exactly like the cat in the animated Peter and the Wolf short.

I've got an idea for a short film.

Hah, that's totally the cat!
