Pee-Wee on Conan

 

Here’s a word I never thought I’d hear Pee-Wee Herman say: “YouTube”.

Zany Zemeckis

 

Beverly Hilton Hotel

"Hi. I'm Robert Zemeckis and I love Mo-Cap so much that I married it. Now all my children are digital puppets, but they're more human than human. So there."

 

Apparently Robert Zemeckis feels that the Motion Picture Academy should create a separate award recognizing Mo-Cap Movies. Here’s an article with more info. Thanks Mark.

Zemeckis, Lucas, and Spielberg really make me feel like there’s some sort of shelf-life for certain creatives. I know this isn’t true because I really enjoy Clint Eastwood’s movies but then again he hasn’t been directing that long.

So this begs the question; Does a combination of power, consecutive bouts of success, and large amounts of money birth an uncreative monster who’s become out of touch with what’s good entertainment/storytelling?

This hasn’t happened at Pixar but it seems like they have a system set in place of creative checks and balances that stop any one director from thinking his ideas are the best and always will be. 

One thing is for sure; somebody has too many yes-men.

Hot (well, lukewarm) on the heels of our Muppet episode, several people have brought this to our attention. It’s pretty great.

Ode to (video game) Minions

 

A funny, nostalgic little Comic+song from Brawl In The Family. I love the Super Metroid reference(s).
