Did I just put an abnormal brain into this gorilla?

I like both versions, but thought this was the more interesting one to sift. I should thank Taco Ockerse for his version though, or else I wouldn't have known of the song at all!>> ^ant:
Nice. I like Taco's version the best though.



I heard Taco's version and loved it. Then, I saw Young Frankenstein's version which was OK (funny scene), and now this one.

Adrian's Avatar Spectacular! (Blog Entry by Fusionaut)

I pick the reddest ones, but #4 was special to me for the reasons you said, very well put!
>> ^kronosposeidon:

Number six is also very nice, but I think #4 is my fave. It gives us the closest look at her face, with all the wonderful details. Also, its sparsity of red when compared to the others makes it unique. To me the chartreuse background and coppery brown flowers give it a feeling of autumn. Maybe that's why the petals are falling. >> ^Fusionaut:
4 and 5 are my favourite too oh and 6 as well >> ^kronosposeidon:
I have to say that despite the semi-Gothic/Fride-of-Franksenstein vibe I'm getting from these images, you still don't have to look hard at all to see the beauty of the woman beneath the paint. Pics #4 and #5 probably show it the best.
I probably shouldn't say 'semi-Gothic' or 'Bride of Frankenstein', because not only are they crude approximations, but also because I believe that when you try to pigeonhole any type of art you're diminishing it a little. Let's just say that when it comes to do my Danse Macabre, I hope she'll be there to take my hand.

Steven Spielberg explains the ending of A.I.

berticus says...

I recommend you all forget about the Kubrick / Spielberg melodrama and go read the source material. Brian Aldiss eventually wrote three short stories about David. In fact, in a foreword titled "attempting to please" he talks about Kubrick, Spielberg, AI, etc. It's quite interesting. Here, let me type out a bit of it:

"So why was 'Supertoys' not filmed? [...] My belief is that he [Kubrick] was basically mistaken. Obsessed with the big blockbuster SF movies of the time, he was determined to take my sorrowing domestic scene out into the galaxy. After all, he had wrought similarly to great success with [Arthur C.] Clarke's story.

But 'The Sentinel' looks outward to begin with. It speaks of a mystery elsewhere, whereas 'Supertoys' speaks of a mystery within. David suffers because he does not know he is a machine. Here is the real drama; as Mary Shelley said of her Frankenstein, it 'speaks to the mysterious fears of our nature'.

A possible film could be made of 'Supertoys' showing David facing his real nature. It comes as a shock to realise he is a machine. He malfunctions. Perhaps his father takes him to a factory where a thousand identical androids step off the line. Does he autodestruct? The audience should be subjected to a tense and alarming drama of claustrophobia, to be left with the final questions, 'Does it matter that David is a machine? Should it matter? And to what extent are we all machines?'

Behind such metaphysical puzzles remains the simple story - the story that attracted Stanley Kubrick - of a boy who was never able to please his mother. A story of love rejected."
