I realize I'm in the minority .. but I love Star Trek: The Motion Picture . It remains my favorite ST film. Yes; I do rank it above TWoK (but only slightly!) I'm likewise a huge fan of The Black Hole . I acknowledge that each is a flawed film, for various reasons .. but I still enjoy 'em as much as ...

While I was working on The Sci-Fi Channel miniseries Children of Dune (late-2002 or early-2003), Dick Van Dyke paid a visit to the studio for a tour .. and then went out to lunch with all of us (our VFX crew was only about a dozen artists). It was a very long lunch, during which he told us many stor...

I'd definitely love to see a Captain Carrot and His Amazing Zoo Crew! animated project, someday. I'd even love to work on one (although it seems that I often can't objectively 'enjoy' anything I've actually worked on). It was a blast to draw those characters, last month. :mrgreen: I, too, was disapp...

It's that time again! I'm in the middle of my third Inktober . This year, rather than following the official prompt list, I decided to just draw what I want to for each day .. but I'm keeping to weekly themes. Week 1's theme was 'classic anime'. Week 2 -- which I'm just wrapping-up -- has been dedic...

I thought 'Xtina' was her next-level persona.

no dialogue; just dark humor.

..at least 'Princess Knight' wasn't included; that might've been even more jarring.

actual fake news..?

.. but good news, for sure.

The Chaplin Studio lot is on the National Register of Historic Places .. so -- in theory -- the Church of Scientology will be obliged to preserve the aesthetics of its architecture.

I'm pretty sure that Kermit/Chaplin statue on its roof will be removed, however.

Tucked up into a corner of the ceiling above Chamberlain was this guy. . Henson7.jpg . If that's not a recognizable muppet to you, you're forgiven .. that's one of the characters from the sole Henson project that I worked on, in the late-1990s: Brats of the Lost Nebula ..! Hardly anyone saw it; it a...

The Jim Henson company has apparently sold its studio lot on LaBrea Avenue (originally Charlie Chaplin's movie studio .. and also the home of Hanna-Barbera during the late-1950s) to .. the Church of Scientology. :| They'll consolidate what was on the LaBrea lot with the Henson Creature Shop facility...

A pretty nifty teaser for a (alas, cancelled) Osamu Tezuka 'shared universe' movie pitch from a Chinese studio. :o https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3zQXOozjIvY Again -- this is apparently a 'dead' project at this time, so it's not gonna ever happen .. but there's still some cool stuff to be seen here...

CG produced in France & Italy .. so, it has a fairly decent chance of being high-quality 'fun-to-watch' CG.
