I MET THE WALRUS TALKING TO JERRY LEVITAN

Interview with LoTscr Winning animated director.

Just more evidence of the mediocrity of the animated shorts. I Met the Walrus was amazing only due to its source material. As a piece of animation, it was entertaining enough, but no more astounding than anything one might find at JibJab or countless other online flash animation producers. Don't get me wrong, had someone sent me a link to it online I would have thought it fabulously awesome. But Oscar-worthy for its animation? Meh.

I need to get the pictures online. I'll try to do that tonight.

I was most happy with I Met the Walrus because it was actually, blissfully short. I didn't find the animation interesting and the ramblings of Lennon only slightly more so.

So I think after a few days' consideration my vote goes to "Peter and the Wolf" simply because it had a few moments where I was actually interested which was untrue of the others.

Peter and the Wolf got my vote as well, for about the same reason.

I want all of them to lose.

"And the Oscar goes to...

No one. Because all of the nominees suck."





That would make for an interesting presentation.

I'm pretty sure pr0n has its own awards show, Matt...

It would be interesting if the Academy Awards had an option for the nominating committees to be like the Pulitzer and Nobel to say "nope, we don't think there is a winner this year. Sorry, check in next year."

When we did our little poll after the screenings, Lisa read out how many votes each film received. I was thinking that that might make the Oscars more exciting.

"Sorry, Tommy, you didn't get any votes..."
