Weekly round up
Wow it’s been so busy this week!! It’s not bad busy so much but I am conscious that there are limited hours in the day and I don’t think this pace can continue without something suffering.
So it’ll be exciting to see what ‘that’ winds up being
Of course the week was made a little easier, at least here in blog land by a couple of excellent guest posts that generated some …
A while ago I read somewhere that there was a G-Force movie coming and it would mix live action with animation and there was a part of me who did a little geeky joy dance performed to the sweet tunes of a Mexican hat dance.
But the dancing was premature as the film that was actually released was this:
I really wish I had been warned before I clicked the link and saw this image for the first time - it was like being rick rolled without the LOLs
Instead of what would have been the entirely more hat dance generating:
The show was called Battle of the Planets and heavily edited from the original version called Gatchaman
The company who brought out the excellent TMNT CGI film took a run at Gatchaman and produced the following preliminary trailer:
I really enjoyed TMNT and I think this would have been really enjoyable, I say would have because according to Slashfilm the film may not ever be completed. I’m not entirely sure why this is either but I assume they’ve heard something or that the film has been pushed back over and over.
That’s a shame though as I have fond memories of that show.
Actually I just realised I have the DVDs around her somewhere maybe I should check it out again.
So what are your favourite cartoons from your childhood that should be made into a kick ass awesome CGI film?
Hi everyone, it would appear that my comments system Disqus has gotten a little trigger happy with some of your comments and I want to apologise to everyone who has had their comments disappear.
It was especially a problem when posting links to other items and some of you guys who have been commenting for years were automatically classed as spam and I feel more than awful about that as I missed a bunch of really positive and thoughtful comments.
To be honest I doubt I’ll be able to go back and find all of them that I haven’t read, I certainly doubt I’ll be able to now answer them all but I am disengaging the disqus comment system from the site. Fortunately it synchronises the comments and pretty much all the one’s that went missing are in my WordPress database still.
A couple of problems though:
- the threading does not show up and so all comments that already appear no longer fall indented under the intended comment – I have no idea how to fix this – it makes me really pissed off just thinking about it.
- all the spam and seo crap keyword comments are going to be back and frankly I’m possibly more annoyed by this and will spend some time going through and removing them.
- the reply button works but seems to drop you back to the bottom of the page (I’ll work this one out)
A couple of cool things though:
- the flying monkeys are back (if you don’t know what I’m talking about leave a comment with a valid email and you’ll soon see)
- commentluv is active again
So the grand experiment is over. I really liked the service and I think that I would still recommend it but it’s not for me as I get really picky about these types of problems. It should be said that it could be my fault somehow too but then that is probably a good reason to drop it as well.
Just a quick side note too, you may have noticed some advertising showing up on the site and a great way of supporting the site is by clicking on some of them and seeing where they lead, so please don’t be shy!
