Jeez-- as far as I’m concerned that’s an easy one… a blank screen would basically sum up that movie. I’d like to think I’m at least a moderately perceptive individual, but that movie TOTALLY lost me. I started out bored and except for a few funny moments ended up bored.
Did you make that yourself Dale? What software did you use? I use Animation Shop. It came with Paintshop Pro. I’d like to find a better one. Sometimes it renders gifs that don’t play correctly.
Oh, I didn’t know you made it, Dale, or I wouldn’t have said “Horrible!”
I meant “Horrible!” in the sense of the violence and gore, not in the quality of the art itself…I have no idea whatsoever what constitues good animation or not.
I think it may be safe to say that most folks do not either… it’s a matter of what appeals to us individually… I suppose. Me? I like older Looney Toons… Duck Dudgers, of the 24th and a half Century!!!
Darn, I was hoping for “My Dinner with Andre” – that way, a movie that seems like it lasts 4 hours, regardless of its actual run length, would be condensed to a watchable length, and eliminate the ennervating sophmoric dialog (which is chiefly responsable for the distortion of time-perception while watching/enduring). Due to relativley uncomplicated staging, the file size might be less than 5k.
That’s funny: When I was posting the above, the first movie to actually pop into my head was “My Dinner with Andre” but I thought it might be a bit to obscure.
See, now, that’s the kind of self-restraint or self-examination I need to employ prior to posting. It would reduce not only the blank stares or pleasant, vacant smiles I receive so frequently during dinner conversation, but probably also my Thread-Kill Rate.*
* [TKR being calculated by the ratio of times you were the last person to post to a topic vs. the non-thread killing posts that didn’t bring the conversation to a screeching (or silent) halt. Thus, TKR becomes an OOM (Observable Obscurity Measure).]
Until your last post there, I think I’m running somewhere between 15-25% TKR. There’s gotta be some way a database wonk could take the C&F database & automatically generate a TKR for placemenet in one’s sig. Might encourage more of the kind of self-reflection I need.
It brings up another measure, Penultimate Post Rate: how often one makes the second-to-last post. What would PPR reveal?
