It’s Uncanny, This Valley: The Ups And Downs Of Cinematic CGI InHumanity | Pajiba: Reviews, News, Quotes & Cultural Commentary
I love this quote: “Caesar will always look computer generated in the same way Roger Rabbit will always be a cartoon, but his face expresses more genuine human emotion than James Franco ever will.” via It’s Uncanny, This Valley: The Ups And Downs Of Cinematic CGI InHumanity

What if Pixar designed other movie cars?
Worth it just to see the Batmobile! No time for part two of Elongated Man tonight. And yes, I’m trying to redesign the site to look more comic booky.

Best/worst Scooby Doo Monster?
I think the most memorable monster on Scooby Doo was the Spooky Space Kook… a horrible name for a spacesuit that has a skull floating in it. I must not be the only person who is fond of that meanie, since he’s appeared in crowd scenes as an employee of Sebben & Sebben. Hey, do …

Review: “Green Lantern: Emerald Knights”
Is Emerald Knights an amazing movie that I will watch many, many times? No. First off, I always remind myself that this is an amazing age that I live in, where more and more of the comic book characters I loved as a kid are being turned into movies and TV shows and cartoons than …

My Father’s Day Gifts to Myself
Amazon package arrived today. Guess what’s inside? The animated Legion of Super-Heroes Vol. 1-3, which is now packaged together for $17 instead of sold individually for $15 each. (I don’t know why they won’t do season sets anymore. Obviously, they want to shake us down for more cash per individual disk, but I’m not buying …

Why Disney’s ‘Mars Needs Moms’ Bombed – The Hollywood Reporter
Why Disney’s ‘Mars Needs Moms’ Bombed – The Hollywood Reporter. This article touches on a few truths, but the biggest… that Zemeckis’ motion capture CGI is downright unsettling and not enjoyable to watch… needs a lot more hammering home. First, let’s discuss the other factors. Promotion-wise, this film has also dropped the ball. It’s based …

nearly complete Batmobile history
Admittedly a lot of this was redundant information in my case. Now stop to take in this nearly 166-inch-long timeline at CarInsurance.org — created using information and images culled from BatmobileHistory.com — charts the 70-year evolution of the Batmobile… Perhaps just as interesting is the inclusion, when applicable, of the actual cars on which the …

Chris Yost interview right before the Kang release
Read with fascination Robot 6 interview with Chris Yost. Mr. Yost’s grasp of Marvel lore is quite impressive. Note how he explains the Hawkeye dynamic. you generally need one of the big three… (in order for it to be “‘really the Avengers’”) but honestly… In my mind, Hawkeye’s the fourth of the big three. To …

Avengers is the only good child of Disney and Marvel on television
Disney’s ‘Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes!’ Is Better Than You Might Think – Starpulse.com. What surprises me the most is how literate Robbie Hays is regarding the Avengers. He might be as knowledgeable as me regarding the Silver Age Avengers. I wish I had time to go into this more but right now I’m still peeved …

What Makes Lightning McQueen Run? (Tick? Turn Over?)
Someone cut open Lightning McQueen. This must be one vicious Disney chop shop. Although all told, he does look pretty happy. Click to make big. (Keep in mind that I’m stealing bandwidth here, and pray someone forgives me). Now since Pixar typically packs in a good number of (only necessary) details on how each world …

peel back the skin? They don’t look so animated anymore!
I like this: “Realistic Anatomies of Cartoon Characters“. Note that the “Sylvester the Cat” skull is another photo of Bugs Bunny’s skull, as cats don’t have buck teeth, Sylvester has canines. The skeleton models are by Hyung Koo Lee and yes is the most impressive of the bunch but there are a diversity of subjects, …

Review: Toy Story 3 in 3-D
I’m 40 years old this year. “Toy Story” debuted when I was 25, and though I was no longer a kid, that film transported me back to the years when I would let my imagination run wild just like Andy in the movie. Pixar immediately established itself as what the Disney brand used to be: …

EA Sports is going to sue over the Tiger Woods game on last week’s South Park.

the Darker Seid of Life
By all means we at Monitor Duty should have written dozens of histories and recaps and essays about DC Comics’ vile Kirby demon, the evil New God Darkseid. By now there should be hundreds of references and odes of love. If kicked we might see it happen in the future, but I do not care …
