No worries Raven, if you didn't do it somebody else would have, actually I am glad you caught it when it did or maybe a bigger fuss would have been made. I am used to submitting full length docs so I don't really think about the whole copyright issue..since full docs usually stay online, but Animal farm will probably be pulled within days anyway.

I totally know what you mean and I sympathize, sometimes while trolling through Google I'll stumble across a film that I love or is totally important to a point I'm trying to make, or, as was often the case with the HorrorShow, I just thought was plain awesome... So I felt kind of bad discarding your sift, but sadly, rules are rules and copyrights are a bitch... as for that version of Animal Farm, I think it was made for TV several years back, perhaps as a miniseries, I vaguely remember watching it, but not in a theater.

Thanks Raven, you're right...sometimes I just get excited, I had actually never heard of the adaptation before today... I always thought it was just turned into a cartoon.

Hate to be a narc... but full length films that aren't public domain are against posting guidelines... sorry Fed, I know its a great novel, and a commentary pertinent to the times we live in, but... guidelines.

Should I put the "Ghostbusters tribute" on "waronterror" as well? I mean it's a different kind of terror and the army is merely four men...but still.

aw yeah I luvs me some Warren Ellis!!!

Miller's great too. all stark and dour.... him and Moore are just kinda "given" though.


In reply to this comment by raven:
My favorite ever? Well, that would be Transmetropolitan by Warren Ellis, because I do loves the futuristic Hunter S. Thompson-esque Spider Jerusalem, easily one of the best characters ever... and, I mean come on, what's not to love about a comic where the characters are always popping on down to the local Black-ops Deli for some Chilean baby extract, or Caribou eyes? Or chainsmoking Carcinoma Angel cigarettes while plotting the downfall of a President also referred to as "The Beast" via renegade journalism and a bowel disruptor gun?

I've also loved Frank Miller's work, the Sin City series, and 300 which was a fave from WAAAAY the fuck before hollywood made it into a craptastic piece of feature-length propaganda... Miller's take on Batman was also really cool, I think it was called Dark Knight Returns? Something like that.

Current faves are Warren Ellis' Desolation Jones, and Fell, which he is collaborating on with Ben Templesmith, a super talented young artist from Down Under who also writes and illustrates another current addiction of mine, Wormwood: Gentleman Corpse. Totally great series btw, funny, creepy, and perverse in all the right ways... I think the title of the most recent story arc kind of sums it up: "Leprechaun Fight Night"... oh so fucking funny.

And the history nerd inside me is completely in love with Eric Shanower's epic attempt to turn the Illiad into a graphic novel with his Age of Bronze comic... a huge undertaking I must say, really, the depth that he goes into with his literary and historical research is amazing... and the drawing so well done and detailed as well... its no wonder he's on issue number 25 or so and the Greeks haven't even made it to Illium yet!

Raven, are you related to Raveni (http://www.videosift.com/member/Raveni )?

As soon as I start sifting up stuff on a more frequent/consistent basis, fer sure!

In reply to this comment by raven:

I'm on a downvote vendetta against this vid (hence a public profile message) - I'm not even finding a parody of abuse of women funny - http://www.videosift.com/video/Mentos-The-Freshmaker-and-no-Diet-Coke ... if you wanna downvote.

Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds - Breathless

Thank you so much for this beautiful song!

Yup. I'm embarrassed. I always mess that one up.

Actually, the service ribbon I have on the avatar already is the GWOT Expeditionary ribbon and the one in your photo is the regular GWOT Service ribbon.

Raven, here is a suggestion for an avatar. I like what you have there, but I thought it should have the GWOT expeditionary ribbon instead of the regular GWOT. Any moron in the military gets the GWOT, but you have to actually go somewhere and earn the GWOTE. Also, I thought the combat action ribbon would be good.
(p.s. - they are in order of precedence)

I just dropped by to say that I finally stopped over at your channel, and I was very impressed with the Fortnight of Fright image. Is that something you made? I just thought that the text on it was great, and totally goes with the genre.

And unless I'm just an idiot, is that a new color scheme? Looks great!

No, thank you! Now I'm only two away from Gold!
