Bloody awesome film. I dunno if you guys remember it, it's quite old in terms of animation now. It's absolutely amazing. Really quite melancholy as well, but then again I'm a huge fan of mixing pathos with humour. Steve Martin's "Roxanne" a classic example. Another is the 2nd series finale of the UK Office. Not the Christmas specials, the twelfth episode. If you haven't seen it, watch it. Stunning.

Pixar are genius. I should see Ratatouille, but I'm just so worried about being disappointed. Like I used to like Woody Allen, but then I found out he fucked his stephdaughter, and now I love him. Wait bad example.

If you haven't seen the Pixar short "Red's Dream", it's the most amazing short film ever made about a unicycle. I dunno, I'm really into this shit at the moment.

Anyway, HIT THAT did really well. Like, intimidatingly well. I've written a few scripts to follow it up, all quite varied. One's got no dialogue at all. I don't want to be pigeonholed so people expect a type of film from me. I think the dialogue-less one will be a Halloween short. It's funny, in a cruel sort of way, but it's really animation-intense, so might take a while. It's totally different though.

I guess I can release a bit of info about it. It's called "Gertie" - it's about the ugliest child in the world, trying to make friends. It won't be very long, and I'm worried I don't have the animating chops to pull off this sucka, but nobody ever found out by doing nothing, did they.

Also got a TANKMEN parody I'm finalising the script on. The weird thing about it is that there are no gags at all. No "funny one-liners" or anything. The humour comes from the characters and the situation they're in. I hate films that rely on absurdly witty dialogue or characters that change all over the place so they can cram as many punchlines as possible in. HATE THEM DON'T DO IT YOU'LL LOSE MY RESPECT I KNOW BAD EH

Annoyingly though, I think everybody else loves them. Look how popular Family Guy is. Oh well.
