Aardman is good, Harvey Krumpet? I thought it was funny ^_^

I saw Ratatouille yesterday, not bad. I met a pixar person a couple of weeks ago, they were really tall! Yay! I have met someone who makes famous animations and gets to do cool stuff

Gumby was great. It kinda freaks me out that teenage and adults shows are getting so much more sophisticated (even the soap operas- compare neighbours of fifteen years ago with now) and kiddies shows are getting, well. Dumber.
And I do not count cartoons in that, as a lot of them are still very edgy.

Last night got to see Stewie play Vader. Priceless!

I have a Shorn/Shaun the Sheep that my son made me as a mother's day gift (years and years ago - I will have to shellac it soon to keep it from falling to bits). Also priceless!

Is it me or does that sounds really creepy!!

"Fear ye the dreadful Pixar People: for now they walk tall amongst us, with their smooth pink skin and their exaggerated features. The come from the Valley of Uncanny, and they lure your children with high quality feature films. When your gaze is turned they shall bring them to their dreadful Computer Generated land, and they shall purge them of pockmarks and of unsmooth skin and of life, and dress them in clothes that are not like your own. And the child shall return to you, so nearly human, so evidently not, and they will wait..."

Mwhaha!

There is a giant lamp outside the Centre for the Moving Image in Federation Square at the moment. It's very VERY cool. Promoting the Pixar exhibition.

I wanna go to the Valley of Uncanny! Sounds like someplace in a Tim Burton film.

OC Not, in case you didn't know, "Uncanny Valley" is a term for the discomfort or revulsion of things that look a lot like people, but different enough to tell that they aren't. Corpses, clowns, ventriloquist dummies, scarecrows and highly accurate but poorly animated CGI characters are typical causes.

It helps people shy away from disease, or spot impostors. That, or it's a racial memory of when Earth was invaded by clothing mannequins.

Cool! yeah, AND he had a beard>

People from the land of Pixar always have beards you know, even the women.

The children have all small goatees

Ever since I was a child, whenever I read the words 'bearded lady' I get really confused...

I mean it just doesn't make any sense.

Right?

I've seen bearded ladies, I get this itch to get a pair of tweezers out. Same thing for that little rat tail of hair (mulletail style) on guys, want to snip it off. Snicker-snack!

Haircare with a vorpal sword? Short back and sides is about all you can get I think....

OC Not, is that women with beards generally, or just the fact that beards are unladylike?

Are Stubbly ladies acceptable?

Stubbly is only unacceptable when wearing sheer stockings.

Fishnet stockings are best! I find the lilac ones work best with my leg-hair...
