^ I SO don't see that.

Wall-E is a brilliant film in so many ways. It has so many wonderful moments, and so much non verbal story telling. It is a great film.

I'm sure they didn't for a moment go 'gee, Wall-E wasn't that great, let's make a funny short'.

So, Wall-E JUST came out here in Australia on DVD (yeah, AFTER Christmas, that was smart), and so I've just watched this short... it's pure brilliance.

Pixar are the true kings of the heap in animated storytelling at present. Forget CG vs hand drawn, it doesn't matter, they just tell good, funny stories REALLY well.

a fool and their money...

I remember when this happened, a guy brought it into class in the late 80's / mid-90's or so, and we read it in the actual paper. I have told numerous people about it ever since because it's such a funny story, but I was never able to find it again. Glad someone dug up something even better!

Funny story: My little brother, my girlfriend and I have a RockBand group (he drums, she guitars, I sings) and it's a lot of fun. The day the Nirvana pack came out, he asked if he could print out some tab on my CPU and it turned out to be the bass tab for this song (he also plays real guitar and bass). I was like, "Oh, trying to learn the new RockBand DLC?" and he had no idea that the nirvana pack was out, just cosmic coincidence.

This song means a lot to me, at about 11 or 12 this album was on permanent rotation on my Walkman, notably during a camping trip our family took. I still remember proudly wearing my Batman Returns hat with it's holographic tag still attached, trying to impress my old role model: my cousin; and my new role model, my new step-brother. I doubt I impressed anyone, but the three of us roamed the campgrounds, kings of the world. And for that one weekend in the woods I felt like I was on the same level as they were. Blasting Nevermind across the campgrounds, pissing off anyone within earshot. Male bonding at its finest.

This song was my realization that I would forever be showing my non-conformity by conforming.

Truth - covered in security
I can't let you smother me
I'd Like to, but it couldn't work
Trading off, taking turns
Don't regret a thing
And I've got this friend, you see
Who makes me feel and I
Wanted more than I could steal
I'll arrest myself, I'll wear a shield
I'll go outta my way to prove I still
Smell her on you

Don't - tell me what I wanna hear
Afraid of never knowing fear
Experience anything you need
I'll keep fighting jealousy
'til it's fucking gone

And I've got this friend, you see
Who makes me feel and I
Wanted more than I could steal
I'll arrest myself, I'll wear a shield
I'll go outta my way to prove I still
Smell her on you

Truth - covered in security
I can't let you smother me
Like to but it couldn't work
Trading off, taking turns
Don't regret a thing
And I've got this friend, you see
Who makes me feel and I
Wanted more than I could steal
I'll arrest myself, I'll wear a shield
I'll go outta my way to make you a deal
We've made a pact to learn from who
And ever we want without new rules
We'll share what's lost and what we grew
They'll go out of their way
To prove they still

Smell her on you
They still, Smell her on you
Smell her on you

Longest post I'll ever post, promise.

Funny story... I was actually on tour in Japan with a symphony and we were at this very place. One of the symphony members actually had to do exactly this... strip down to his skivvies and dive into the moat. It was nasty as hell.

Granted, it was because he dropped his video camera into it... but same exact concept.

Funny story but HORRIBLY reported. Do ever feel like reporters just.dont.get.the.point?

It makes perfect sense, he's trying to convey the notion that Americans want their president to be just like their favourite brand of cheese, aged and fermented.

Funny story though, apparently he's gaining on Obama in the polls.

It's not a bad little video, it's a funny story about timing. I upvoted.
- But the situations are completely interchangeable.

yep, i'm a dyed-in-the-wool floydoid, myself. anything that makes the sift gets my vote.. "Aw, I was in the kitchen, Seamus, that's the dog, was outside..."

Funny story about this song -- Someone had brought a dog to the recording studio during some downtime of the Meddle recording sessions. David started riffing some blues and the dog started howling. They were stoned and thought it was hilarious. The hardest thing, they said, was in keeping the laughter off the sound track.

I was listening to CBC radio the other day and this is what I remember,its actually a funny story. Some random incident where back in the 50s somebody advertised a santa tracker and mis printed the phone number... which connected with Norad. After receiving a handful of calls Norad just started to play along with the kids that were calling in.

turns out there is also a wiki

*edit... Oh I thought you were asking, turns out you linked to the response...bah too much eggnogg...I should go to bed before santa realizes im up.

that's a funny story. he seems cool to hang with.

Funny story. Snopes says it's fiction. http://www.snopes.com/music/artists/bono.asp

oh, i certainly think so, castles! thx!

like 'Creepshow', it was a series of mini-stories meant to mimic the source comic books. hence, the animation is deliberately not as 'clean' as we're accustomed to, now.

this is the last, of many great (and occasionally very funny) stories, from the film!
