Thank you for that Notarobot.
Why HDS never won an Oscar is frankly amazing! He was one of those few actors that can make a scene come alive without ever saying a word.
God bless him. Rest in peace Harry, your memory will live on.

I love his puppets but I think he is what really makes these vids. The skill of making them come alive, and the obvious love he has for his creations.

Mr. Plinckett is right as usual. I watched it in IMAX 3D yesterday, but didn't feel immersed into the story all that much. While watching it I couldn't help but think that a panel of Disney marketing geniuses meticulously thought out what we wanted to see, to guess our expectations, more than the brain child of someone with a vision, with a true story to tell. The girl-that-every-girl-wants-to-be with great athletic prowess and wit as the main character to try and get women to go and see it. The two popular Chinese actors were obviously there to appeal to the ever more important Chinese market. Nostalgic re-enactment (or pre-enactment?) of the ROTJ final battle. Darth Vader! Tarkin! The Death Star! There's someone and/or something for everybody in this movie. Maximum appeal to go and see it.

I think all characters did have potential, but there wasn't any time for them to really come alive, as we were introduced to too many locations and too many people. On the topic of coming alive, resurrected Peter Cushing was very clearly stuck deep into uncanny valley, and watching him was a little... morbid I think.

Like with the Force Awakens, I left the cinema not really unsatisfied, but not really happy either. Just kind of... okay. That was something all pre-Disney SW films did way better for me.

Inside Out: Emotional Theory Comes Alive has been added as a related post - related requested by ChaosEngine.

That is not to belittle the very real pain of depression, but cynically marketing drugs at people who may not need them is pretty.... well, I was going to say awful, but I'll just go with "standard practice in the US"

Sometimes it's ok to feel down.

It would be really cool to come back to this guy on 20 years and see his dream come alive.

Well, they're low cholesterol and high protein,
hotter than a Mexican jumping bean-
Have em low-strung or vacuum packed,
Them mammies come alive when you bumpin' that rack-
Round like GONG, they hold me like a lanyard,
two eye-level ladies, exceedin' all ya standards-
Def enough to knock you, to your knees,
and even when they make it, gotta get some PLEASE
them, TITTIES!

The scene where Bruce falls down, hears a *crick* and looks up to see the deer head on the wall has come alive, it's eyes rolled over in white......and it starts laughing at him?

That imagery still freaks me out to this day.

words are the grouping of sounds and symbols in which we express:
thoughts,
dreams,
visions,
feelings,
ideas,
and in that light words will always be inadequate.
we live in a subjective reality and impose our own understanding upon the words we hear/read.

@gorillaman is correct.context is everything because that is the tool we use to discern the INTENT of the speaker/writer.words by themselves are just weak and facile constructs with little power or influence.it is the surrounding words that prop up and help make those words come alive.painting pictures in our heads or producing an emotive response.
which can be a positive or negative depending on the nature of the listener/reader.

I definitely would not call this emo. It seems to be more influenced by minimalism and seventies german space rock. It may not require amazing talent, but who cares about talent when they have a vision and a desire and passion to make it come alive? This is the sound of universal life.

...because I would enjoy an enlightening discussion on the subject of anyone's innate ability to produce soothing or otherwise beneficial tones on objects at hand, be they electronic, percussive, etc.
This video is like watching a camera on at some folks place that have a variety of musical apparatus around. They probably have distilled spirits or were at the very least, inspired by the same.
It's probably cold outside.
Not much to do but shiver.
Suns gone for weeks at a time.
This dirge transmits and set the mood. I'm cold. Time to make popcorn and ribs.

What's lies?
Full moon and thoughts collide
We look for answers in those catatonic, dying blod-shot eyes
We ask if vermin are the ones that already learned
Those aren't tears,
They're just bad bad blood

Just bad bad blood!

What lies?
No big surprise.
We get our clues from the ones who thought up they will conquer us
Are we too fucked to say the end is here too much?
We're in denial with bad blood

[Chorus:]

[wailing sample:]
Do you remember the strain?
Do you remember the pain?
Do you remember who caused all the blame?

Bad Blood!

[wailing sample:]
Do you remember me?
Do you remember us?
Do you surrender your dreams or your trust?

Bad Blood!

What lies?
He's finally come alive
Out of these mediocre plentiful things all the time
A steady stream of madness
Conscious to a flood
The clock is ticking for Bad Blood

[Chorus.]
[fade out...]

If toys really do come alive when we're not looking, then what a horrifying fate for that particular Woody doll.

It cleans up the room you're currently in by making everything come alive:



Of course you'll have to keep the button pressed, just like Merlin has to keep singing.

Just kidding ;-) "Clean" removes all html tags from the selected text.
