Hello and welcome to the first ever edition of....
Daffy Gives Tribute To...
You know, the super heroes of our age really have a lot of work cut out for them. They have to save the world, keep the streets safe for people they don't even know, keep their girlfriend/boyfriend happy, make sure their friends and family remain oblivious to the fact that they are superheroes, and maintain their secret identity in the real world. Not to mention keep their job, pay the bills, and everything else regular people also have to deal with.
Hello and thanks in advanced for reading my review of WALL-E, starring Ben Burtt, Elissa Knight and Jeff Garlin. I'm a big Pixar fan. I love every movie they have made except for Cars. So you can imagine how excited I was when I found out that the project that they wanted to do from the very beginning was finally arriving. Doing a review for a movie like WALL-E reminds me of doing that review for The Dark Knight. We all know that the movie is amazing, so why bother reading about how great it is all over again? Well if you remember my Dark Knight review it was two words "Holy ^&^%". But those words don't describe WALL-E. To describe WALL-E is to say, Toy Story meets Meet the Robinsons. The great characters, and story from Toy Story, and the amazing colour, fun and moral behind Meet the Robinsons.
The movie begins with showing us WALL-E. This robot cannot talk, but if anyone can tell us a story with no dialogue from the main character, it's Pixar. WALL-E goes through the city, picking up trash and turning it into little squares. He is the only one left from a line of robots that got left on Earth to clean up all the rubbish. While they were doing this, Earth's remaining population went into space on the Axiom. A ship that was made to be a paradise vacation for people until the cleaning was done, and they could go back home. But this project failed and Earth has become inhabitable so the people have stayed up in space for 700 years, some even forgetting about Earth. So for the first fifteen minutes we see WALL-E going about, doing his thing. The next day he meets EVE. A sleek, white robot that got sent here to see if there is any more life on Earth. Can I mention now that this whole time all the little kids in the movie weren't talking at all. They were too busy watching the amazing presentation of colours and character that was on the screen. I can't believe I'm saying this but WALL-E is one of my favourite movie characters this year. Yes, he doesn't talk at all, but Pixar does an amazing job of showing his expressions through movement and sound that people from 5-70 years old can figure out.
The product of a souped-up video editing program and humor, spanning from sharp sarcasm to goofy randomness, Snow White Remix is a 12-part personal project I did myself and uploaded on YouTube, which netted favorable reviews, despite fears that I may have violated many a childhood (but no worse than what Hollywood does).
Now, I'm playing for a tougher audience; an audience that cares about their memories of youth, but no matter. Part of being a writer/creator of anything is having people on one side saying "You rule!" while the other side says, "You suck!"
I present parts one to four of this piece to be watched and critiqued (just copy and paste to the address bar if you can't click on it):
"Scooby Dooby Doo. Where are you? We got some work to do now. Scooby Dooby Doo. Where are you? I'm writing the review now."
Being that all day today Cartoon Network decided to do a marathon of ‘Scooby Do, Where Are You?', I've decided to write a review of what I consider to be one of the best mystery cartoons ever made.
Where do I start with Scooby Doo? It was a show made by the incredible animation team of Hanna-Barbera. Recognize the name? Of course you do!!! They're the ones who came up with other classics such as The Flintstones, The Jetsons, Yogi Bear, Huckleberry Hound, Johnny Quest, and an extreme multitude of others. So, yeah, they're a pretty famous duo. If you've never heard of them or any of their creations, you obviously don't own a TV.
Hello and welcome to another edition of Daffy's Top 11. Why top 11? Well, I don't know. ‘Cause it just sounds right.
I know I just did one of these. But something clicked in my mind and I just had to get it out.
Being that the ‘Dog Days of Summer' are almost upon us, I figured, "What better way to celebrate the demise of Summer ‘08 then with the Top 11 Coolest Cartoon Dogs?"
I'm gonna say this right away so no one gets confused: This is not a review of the movie. If you wanna know what I think of this film, I'll sum it up like this -- I like it.
This is gonna be a real short blog. Normally, I say that before I start typing and it ends up over a thousand words, but I mean it this time. Really!
OK, I know that there's at least more than one of these already on the blogs, but as some will say there's no official sign up sheet, and even though I hate repetition in TGWTG.com's blogs I still feel like posting this as I feel mine offers a more opinion based list and less an excuse for discussion, and is more for parody than to be taken seriously.
When it comes to big blockbuster Batman movies, we couldn't give a damn about the caped crusader. Generally we assume it will be the same actor as the last movie or it's announced around the same time as the film, and in the end they always play the same character: A cocky millionaire whose voice suddenly and inexplicably becomes deepened when he dons a bat suit. As well as you can play that role, it honestly doesn't matter, because the show is always stolen by the polar opposite: The villains.
Think about it. In every Batman film, the film always revolves around the villain, one in particular. The original Tim Burton Batman? The Joker, played by Jack Nicholson. Batman Forever? The Riddler, played by Jim Carey. Batman and Robin? Mr. Freeze, played by Arnold Schwarzenegger (unfortunately). The Dark Knight? The Joker again, this time played by the late Heath Ledger. The exceptions would be Batman Returns, where the villain hold is more spread out, and Batman Begins, where it actually revolves around Batman, who'da thunk it?
Ok, so my girlfriend was telling me about that website hulu.com where you can watch full episodes of TV shows. I thought it sounded pretty cool, so I decided to check it out. It is pretty cool, actually. I'd reccommend all you ThatGuyWithTheGlasses.com users go give it a look-see!
What attracts people to this movie? Is it the premise? The trailer? Nope, none of those. What it is, is the voice-acting cast. Dustin Hoffman, Jackie Chan. Lucy Lui, Angelina Jolie, Jack Black and Seth Rogen. That's what made people go see this movie. So me and my friend went to see it just because of the cast, and guess what? The only people in that cast with more than about four lines was Angelina, Jack Black and Dustin Hoffman! So obviously, that should've made me angry, right? Well no, because this movie didn't even need those other three people in it, it could've had random janitors off of Redfern for all I care! Because this movie was hilarious and the action was awesome!
The movies about Po (the panda, aka, Jack Black) going up to the Jade Palace to hear the announcement of the Dragon Warrior. A warrior who will bring peace to the town. Po tries to get over the palace walls and accidentally drops in front of the master as he's pointing down at Tigress (Angelina). So Po now has to become the Dragon Warrior. Also, Tylon (an evil tiger, banished into prison after going on an angry rampage because he wasn't allowed to become the Dragon Warrior) has escaped and Po must train up so he can defeat him. What follows is hilarious scenes with some amazingly done action.
