Em's Extremely Extraordinarily Epic Random Banter #91

[I'm da Rogue!]

I don't think there is a version for fish..

[Almighty Salmon]

Well, there should be.

[Skippy]

Well, it's not as effective if you don't know a few tricks with the cube as well, like making drawings with the cube. Something like this:





Or





That makes it easier. And they're not that hard to get.

[I'm da Rogue!]

Or you can mess the whole thing and then call it modern art!

[The Bushranger]

Ah, Rubik's cubes...used to have one when I was younger, can't remember if I ever actually solved it.

I have one of those "jump all but one" peg games now, it's pretty fun to play.

HEH! Awesome.

[Skippy]

HEH! Awesome.

I know! I thought exactly the same when I saw it. She must have read my mind, because I love both the Rubik Cube and the puzzles in Zelda games. I agree that that's exactly what would happen if Link had one.

As for the key...

Those two comics are awesome. They define the absurdity of Link and his games so well...

Hey! Don't diss the smileys or The Mighty Czech Cube by associating them with Modernist bilge.

Oh, tangent: is stop motion cinematography still fail after all these years?

Stop motion is and always will be fail. Period. Fullstop. End of line. End of story. ALWAYS FAIL!

...Okay, so I lie. Gumby kicked ass.

[Dragonrider]

Claymation works. That's kinda stop-motion.

[Raiser Blade]

Wallace and Gromit is always cool.

[CurlyKitGirl]

Tim Burtion's Nightmare Before Christmas is a fail?!
You are kidding me. That's stop motion cinematography, as is Corpse Bride (nowhere near as good) and Wallace and Gromit.
Not all of it is fail.

[Inigo Montoya]

The British have WAY better Television shows.

[Dr. Bath]

Stop motion animation is the basis of all audio-visual treats, they're just faster.

And stop-motion is teh-gewd. Morph, Creature comforts, Wallace and Gromit, Noggin the Nog, Bagpuss, The Clangers, The Magic Roundabout all sorts. There's a lot of bad stuff out there, if only because it's an easy route into film making without having to bother with actors and all that jazz.

I wasn't that keen on the stop-motion Tim Burton films, but they weren't bad. 6.5/10

[Dragonrider]

The Neverhood is a stop-motion video game! I LOVED that one, it was the best ever!

[CurlyKitGirl]

You fogot The Clangers. And I can't believe I forgot all those stop-animation classics.
But I never said I liked both of his more famous ones. Nightmare rocks; Corpse bride - not so good.

[Skippy]

My ex girlfriend studies visual arts. And that includes stop motion animations. I've had the luck of watching a lot of high quality jobs. And I agree that Nightmare before Christmas is an awesome piece of stop motion animation, alongside with W&G.

[Dr. Bath]

Don't you worry, Curly, I remembered the Clangers. I found the first series on DVD recently. Woo! Greatest program ever, I haven't finished watching it yet though.

[CurlyKitGirl]

Have you seen the one where the Clanger swears?

[Saithis Bladewing]

Okay, so Wallace and Gromit is good too, but Nightmare before Christmas was overrated fail.

[eidreff]

It might just be me and a potty mouth but they seem to throw expletives about a fair bit..

I did hear a radio interview with one of the guys on the swanee whistles a few year back, and some of the scripts were a bit risque to say the least if i remember rightly.

The Soup Dragon will always be a personal hero. As will tiny clanger.

[Dr. Bath]

Yesss, Sathis. Come to the animated-side!

@ Curly, I can't say I have. But I don't remember a lot of the episodes, I guess I'll just have to watch it again.

Did you see the remake of the Magic Roundabout? It wasn't great. The voices were brilliant though: Sir Ian Mckellen as Zeebadee and Tom Baker as evil Zebadee? Awesome.

[CurlyKitGirl]

I never saw the CGI version. A lot of people said it was crap. But I never got around to seeing it.

[FoE]

Did I just hear someone dissing Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas? I better not have, because you'll get me angry. And you wouldn't like me when I'm angry.

FACE OF EVIL SMASH!!!

[jmaccabeus]

Stop motion is just about the exact opposite of fail. I don't think anyone here other than me has seen a 1926 movie called The Adventures of Prince Achmed, which was a stop-motion silhouette film, and did it wonderfully. And it's been good even since, between Ray Harryhausen, Star Wars, and the aforementioned The Nightmare Before Christmas and W&G.

*Yawns.*

Nightmare Before Christmas was possibly the 3rd most 'fail' film I've ever watched. Seriously. Everyone raved about it over and over and all I could do was sit there and go: "...yawn..."

Oh, and I do like stop-motion, I was just playing Devil's Advocate. I do not, however, like Tim Burton's Nightmare Before Christmas in any way, shape, or form. Utter. Fail.

[Raiser Blade]

What's this? What's this? People dissing Nightmare before christmas.
What's this? What's this? Something is amiss.

There's people posting insults
Instead of posting praise
How could these people not enjoy
It leaves me in a daze

[FoE]

Sacrilege! Blasphemy! HERESY! I declare vendetta against thee, Saithis!

By the way, you have to change your vote in the Outsider in the Playground contest. Rex is no longer a candidate for Devil.
