There's also of course the current Michel Ocelot project, which is to screen in cinemas in a stereoscopic version – him having never been inclined to luddism when it comes to technique and always embraced new technology as a way to make something with a different texture to what he has done before. I don't use "luddite" as an insult, though; I'd describe myself as one and I believe we need them to keep analogue techniques alive, lest technology reach the ceiling it perhaps already has and leave everything having the same texture for ever more. But it's also enlightening to have someone like Ocelot to expose how much of the annoyances that I think of as being inherent to techniques that are currently popular in the mainstream are not due to the technology but rather to just how the mainstream uses them.J.R.D.S.https://www.blogger.com/profile/07449581460363034306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3934170279470612782.post-46658969267244996552010-07-21T18:42:39.482-05:002010-07-21T18:42:39.482-05:00Oooh, snap.

Definitely bad.<br /><br />In the movie world, at least from what I've seen, Michael Bay is, ahem, not the best producer you would want for a movie.<br /><br />Other than that, Teutonic creatures? Apparently they have their history mixed up. Teutonic refers to the people of Germany when they were pagans. I think. Judging by the way the story is told and illustrated, Hansel and Gretel sounds like it is set in post-Teutonic, Christian Germany. Therefore, not too many Teutonic creatures would be mentioned, other than the usual dwarves, trolls, etc.<br /><br />Strange. Definitely strange.Laurennoreply@blogger.com
