Did anyone watch Paradise Hotel 2 tonight? Something awesome happened.

Nothing awesome happened on The Hills however. Yawn. Where is Stephen??? /whine

And apparently Heidi really does have a clothing line?? Ewww.

Important announcement! The intrepid [livejournal.com profile] alikander informs me that FelonSpy is a hoax! So that's a relief. Geez, the one time I don't check Snopes for something my mother sends me....figures.

Here's the most depressing article I've read in a while: Costs skyrocketing on some prescription drugs. UGH.

Did I link to this writeup about an Illinois state representative going batshit insane on an atheist? Someone needs to read her Constitution. It's still okay to hate atheists, clearly....

I was very distressed to read that Disney's planned release of Rapunzel is going to be in 3D. WTF? I thought that was going to be traditional animation, dammit. And now it will come out and look like creepy crap and no one will see it and Disney will say "no one cares about fairy tales" when really it's that no one cares about creepy 3D crap. DAMMIT. (ETA: OK, it's more Pixar than Polar Express? That's better, but I'm still unhappy. I miss REAL animation. And if this movie is a hit it will be used as "proof" that traditional animation is dead. Bah.) The Princess and the Frog had better be awesome, since it's apparently our last great hope.

In the end, I console myself with Cat vs. theremin, thanks to [livejournal.com profile] bentleywg. (YouTube link.)

Rapunzel's been announced as 3d for a hella long time. The animators at Pixar were giving Keane special lessons long before the merge. Sorry, Dia.

(I think it looks pretty good, actually.)

Spoiler images? Why yes, yes I will. (http://theartofglenkeane.blogspot.com/2006/07/rapunzel.html)

YouTube no longer works. Not digging the earlier artwork, either. :( Oh well. I will be happy to be proven wrong, I'm just sick of everything having to be 3D. (And I say that as a big Pixar fan.)

Yeah, the Youtube vid's been down for ages. (Disney had a right shitfit as you can imagine, and naturally I didn't save it.)

I think it looks great, but the actual screengrabs leave me a little cold. The more recent images (the prince on the tower with the hair (http://bp1.blogger.com/_0hrrWXjfxC4/R_-daJYAboI/AAAAAAAAAS4/2bqKZU4Ye9w/s1600-h/Rapunzel+26.jpg) and Sant-Michel as the Disney Castle) make me a little happier.

I will try to have faith! I'm just really bummed b/c for some reason I'd thought it was traditional animation. I feel like the art form is dying in this country. :(
