Comments on Nerdfire episode 3-D:
ReplyDeleteThe Star Wars Blu Ray discussion made me realize that Star Wars now belongs on that short list of subjects like religion and politics that I still have very strong opinions about - but almost no interest whatsoever in debating. It's all just become too controversial. Haha.
That said I disagree with Walsh's theory that Marcia Lucas had so much to do with the success of Star Wars. My personal theory is that (in the Prequel age), the true missing piece of the Star Wars puzzle - has been Lawrence Kasdan.
I was briefly interested in Dungeons and Dragons from about 6th grade up to about 7th or 8th grade, then totally lost interest (other than watching the cartoon). But to tell the truth, even when I was "into it", the thing I liked most about D&D was not the actual game - but just buying and painting the little figurines. I loved all those beautifully sculpted little monsters. But the only D&D gaming book I was interested in, was the "Monster Manual" - because it was a checklist of all the monsters! I only played the game because I thought I needed an excuse to collect & paint the figures. Haha.
The cartoon discussion was fun! Thanks for discussing the shows I mentioned. I can't believe I forgot to mention Bullwinkle, because that's one of my favorites too. Glad to hear Walsh bring it up.
I worked on the 2002 Masters of the Universe cartoon, but only very briefly as a favor to one of my friends who was a supervisor on it. I was only a freelancer, not an on-staff employee, so my name did not get into the credits of the 2 or 3 episodes where I pitched in. Oh well.
Walsh already knows my story about the new Scooby Doo cartoon so I won't bring that up again.
I had to laugh at the deep hatred for the new "Tigger and Pooh" cartoon because working on that show was probably the most enjoyable job I've ever had in animation. Just speaking in terms of quality, the only show I've worked on that I feel more proud of than that one, is my current gig on Transformers.
I don't mind the DC Comics reboot. I will be giving it a fair shot. I am buying issues 1 and 2 of the titles that interest me (only 5 of them) and if I like em I'll keep buying. If I don't I'll drop em. Nuff said!
3-D movies don't hurt my eyes or give me motion sickness. That said I still have yet to experience one more thrilling than seeing "Friday the 13th Part 3 in 3-D" at the theater in 1982. Haha.
...As far as the next episode topic: "video games that changed my life"... Let me think about that and I'll get back to you.
OK first off YOU WORKED ON THE 2002 HE-MAN?!!!!!!! and second sorry about the Tigger and Pooh :(. I do feel that 3-D can be used effectively if it is not used as a gimmick for the movie. Avatar did this and so it worked really well (I have many other problems with Avatar that I will get into later on the cast).
ReplyDeleteI also agree that with Empire and Jedi having a different director and screenplay writer was the ticket to making some fantastic movies!!
Ha, no problemo on the Tigger and Pooh thing. The nice thing about all these animated projects is that they are each created by big teams of people, so none of us who work on them is the single author of them. So if someone likes them we can say, "Look what I did!" and if someone hated them we can say, "Hey man, don't look at me, I'm just one little cog in the great big machine!" Haha.
ReplyDeleteThat said, it was probably one of the most fun shows I've ever worked on! So I stick up for it! haha.
As for the next episode, I emailed my list of favorite video games to Walsh! Looking forward to the next show.
