Animators are generally pretty gross.


quote:

"A Storyboard Jam isn't common on shows that allow people to get out frustrations in the actual work, but on cutie kid shows, everyone draws naked women going bonkers on giant cocks in their spare time. Inevitably, through loathing of the project, they start a storyboard jam where a continuous story evolves from artist to artist as they hand around the papers. Everyone gets a turn to do their worst with the characters.

At Klasky, on Rugrats, they started this Jam in 1998 I think. The first page had Angelica being a bitch to Tommy, so Tommy gets her a drink in the kitchen and puts in dog food and draino, then toddles back to Angelica. This is where the story should have heated up, but I saw someone was intervening. I found this lone page yesterday and can't find the rest. When the Jam was handed to me I disgustedly pushed it away, and after seeing it unattended on another artist's desk for 2 days I had the idea to step up the lameness a notch by having Stu come in and be utterly abusive to everyone. The artists who saw my treatment of the characters after their refined, cultured story were getting pissed...

I began the next page (I was on a roll, most people did 3 or 4 panels and I was doing 12 or so in a fervor of home filth) with a close up of Stu's crotch (on model) and then a cut away showing his entire pelvis is in fact two tight and well rounded testicles with a tiny cock dangling from above. Lightening was bouncing around and words appeared saying 'BALLS OF THUNDER!', or something to that effect. After that, the next artists really took it to it's low as Angelica's hands came in to stroke Stu's balls and then incest sex scenes flew all over the pages. I was disgusted, even, when I saw what had become of the comic.

Someone was taking the things between buildings, to dump it on the Thornberry crew when an executive snooty-draws producer saw it, was disturbed, and confiscated the jam... and thus it ended."

I added up all the "18 months later" "1 year later" "3 years later" between the seasons of 24, and the whole show takes place over a period of 25 years.

Similarly the Friday the 13th series has so many time jumps that by the time Jason Takes Manhattan, in a film that came out in 1989, it is at least 2001. Which obviously means Jason Voorhees did 9/11.

Italian Americans getting self-righteous about being a persecuted minority is downright quaint now that we have people declaring that the Irish have it just as bad as black people including slavery.



Not to say that this is true but anti-Irish prejudice was pretty widespread and rabid:



However their situation had far more in common with modern views towards Hispanic immigrants (many of whom would probably be considered white if it weren't for the fact that they are immigrants because whiteness is a social construct) than it had with the much more systemic oppression of black people. In Britain they were viewed differently as they were a savage and allegedly moon worshiping native people that the British were just trying to civilize just like the 'Wild Injuns' by taking all their poo poo and trying to wipe out their culture.

The Irish were already white by the time Italians started arriving in large numbers in the 1900s. So much so that Irish mobsters in New York formed the White Hand gang to fight their non-white Italian colleagues (and also a lot of random Italians).

When people talk about how the Irish were slaves they mean they some were indentured servants which a bit like slavery except you had some actual rights since you weren't property, and you would probably be able to work yourself out of it in a few years. Which is a bit like saying that flying in an airplane makes you a astronaut since both airplanes and spaceshuttles go really high up.

I think a lot of the time it's people going "Hey I can't be racist. My great-grandfather was discriminated against which means I am basically a minority and can therefore say whatever I want about current minority groups."

Arguing with ghosts is actually a thing in some folklore. The idea being that just interacting with a ghost briefly can curse you and\or drive you insane but if you keep cool and just tell the ghost to eat poo poo you stay sane.

Though the more old fashioned corporeal type of ghost, the sort that was prevalent in northern Europe until spiritism became fashionable, might still beat you to death and drag you down into the cold abyssal darkness of the grave.

A crazy thing to me about the Simpsons to me is that they had a joke based on the 1966 university of Texas shooting only 28 years after it happened. What's next, Stephen Paddock jokes in 2045?

The funniest censored song I've ever heard was gently caress Forever by Babyshambles because the chorus is just "gently caress Foreveeeeeeer!" and taking out the gently caress just left this awkward gaping pause that put the whole thing out of wack. The main reason this is funny to me is because late in the song Pete repeats the line "They will never play this on the radio" a few times because I'm pretty sure the band just assumed that no one would be stupid enough to make a clean version of a song that literally has profanity in the title.

Construction sites make good burgling. You can get pretty good money for most tools, though the downside is that they can be a but heavy. And if they don't leave any tools overnight you can always harvest various metals for scrap. If the the electricity has been wired you can rip the copper right out of the walls.

Easy money.

Everything up through the 1970's was produced on film and even crappy film can generally be blown up/scanned with varying degrees of quality. For example, I think Sam Rami's first film ever was shot on 16mm and then blown up to 35mm. It looked terrible, but the fact that was even possible is a good indicator of film's versatility.

When videotape became a thing it pretty much took over TV since it was much cheaper and easier to use. But videotape doesn't have the same dynamic range as film and can't be blown up as easily. So you end up with a flat and muted look. And yes, that extends to porn. 1970's porn looks infinitely better than 1980's smut.

They considred shooting it on Super-8 and blowing it up but when they tested it the grain got so big that it looked like Bruce Campbell was stuck in a constant hailstorm.

There are a couple of shots that are a bit soft when seen on the properly big screen and in HD but I think those are them now pulling focus properly rather than anything to do with the film.

Evil Dead might be my favorite film ever. The scene where Bruce is alone in the cabin and the camera just starts going crazy is amazing.

I read somewhere that the X-Files was shot on film but transferred to video for broadcast. Which meant they had to redo most of the CGI when they remastered it for Blu-Ray because those shots were all done after the transfer and they were of course using the original films as a base.

This might be complete bullshit but it also might be the truth and any info to to contrary is part of the conspiracy.

Depression era bank robbers like Dillinger were basically folk heroes in their own day. There are a lot of stories, most apocryphal, of him sticking it to the man in one way or another.

Jesse James has a similar image despite him essentially being a Confederate insurgent refusing to admit the civil war was over.

There was the episode where some gay guy thinks frasier is gay and hitting on him.

Which was both funny and entirely respectful towards the gay character.

Edit: given that about 80% of the cast were gay, it's not entirely surprising that the shows were written without horrible jokes or stereotypes.

There was also another episode where Fraiser mistakenly walks into a gay bar, is recognized and gets publicly "outed". At first he is annoyed but he begins to just roll with it and when a opera director (Patrick Stewart) he greatly admires starts showing interest in him. They don't have sex because the director is always celibate during rehearsals but the two are still dating when the episode ends with Fraiser deciding to at least wait until after their trip to Italy to come out as straight.

I think there is at least one more episode where someone mistakenly thinks Fraiser is gay because of some odd coincidence but I can´t recall the specifics..

Goldbergs will be about events that happened in 1981, but have props that came out in 1989. It's a bit jarring, but since it's always described as "1980-something", it works OK.

Gaelic elves are pretty spooky. When someone dies you are supposed to drench a threshold in blood to prevent the fair folk catching the persons soul and dragging into their hosed up elf world as slave labour. The logic being that even though they love to enslave the souls of the dead they love drinking blood a lot more and can't resist slurping it up giving the soul a hefty head start.
