  1. Ponyo sucked, like most Miyazaki films.

    Let the hate begin.

    no hate, i could say that about 95% of the anime i have ever seen. I am a huge fan of Miyazaki films and enjoyed Ponyo a lot. In a age where traditional animation is dying he still manages to come out with great stuff. I guess its not for everyone though. To be honest, though it is considered anime, i dont categorize his work with it.

  2. I really debated whether or not I should chime in on this, as it could open a whole host of canned worms. Talking about what is and isn't original has lead to so many arguments in the past, and hurt feelings as well. But...

    DJ Mighty- The problem with going that route, is that it's hard to call the end result original when it's using another person's pre-existing photos and such as its base. Even when you add layer upon layer of effects, filters, lines, shading and such, it's still really just a tweaked version of what someone else made.

    I believe by "original", bonzai! means work you made from scratch on your own, without recreating what others have already done (be it in drawings, photos, paintings, etc.). Images like the one you and Cottus&Gyes made, while nice, don't really fall into the realm of original work. Not because effort wasn't put into it, but because of the source of the images within them.

    If you both drew up your own takes on those characters in your compositions, then it could be considered original fan art, as it would no longer involve drawn over or filtered movie posters, screen grabs, and the like. But as it is, I don't think they can be called original works.

    They're kind of like remixes in a way. You take a source tune, and reinterpret it. The end result is a remix, and not an original song. Well, that's more or less what you guys did, just in a visual fashion rather than an aural one :-)

    Agreed, my question was more if photos were acceptable over drawings like i did. I think you explained it all quite nicely.

  3. It looks to me like Cottus&Gyes did the vector art himself (whether or not he traced it directly over the photos), while yours (despite looking awesome) seems to use the original art more directly (edited only through filters as opposed to manual vector drawing). But I'll wait for official word on whether Cottus&Gyeseses's would have been acceptable or not.

    actually i converted the original artwork into vector art, each character is 3 separate layers of edited vector art. But i understand what you mean. I completely understand why mine wouldnt be accepted, like i said, i was wondering more about Cottus for future reference in case i decided to do something like that. i love doing stuff like that.

  4. BALLLSSSSS!!!!!!!! And I litterally finished mine 3min ago :( Wish I knew this was up and going...

    Here's mine:

    I'll def hit up next month's comp... unless the theme blows chunks!

    Question, Did you do this off of photos?(i am assuming you did) Also,if it is, is this considered an acceptable entry? I only ask because i did an entry with a similar idea but wasnt acceptable since the original drawings of the characters were not mine. Which is acceptable, i only ask for future reference if Photos are usable instead of drawings. Does that make sense?

    This was my original entry idea:

  5. Congrats on the new console then!

    Nice! i think you would be happier with either one. Unless you are in to Sport games, like madden and fifa. They are better for the PS3/360. I have all 3 systems, but i play my PS3 and Wii the most. I only recently started playing my 360 again to play some friends in SF4.

  6. shut the fuck up and get your high school 'opinions are great' inane bunch of wishy washy refuckingtarded bullshit out of here

    I am so not in the mood for any of that moronic crap

    what the hell are you talking about. my whole point was about people like you who think just because someone doesn't agree with you, they are retarded. They disagree and you respond by acting like you just did. get over yourself.

  7. I can understand if you're grade A retarded and are entertained by the lowest of lowbrow bullshit but don't think any lower of me when I denounce both this movie and your taste in movies

    Your opinion is just that, an opinion. Judging someone because they dont agree with you is what makes me think lower of you, not your taste in movies.

    Liking the movie doesnt make you retarded. Telling people they are retarded for liking the movie, makes you retarded.

  8. He actually liked the first one, and I personally loved the first one, I saw it twice in the theaters and who knows how many times on DVD. I also liked the new Terminator and X-Men movie, both of which were mindless action flicks. Hell, when I got home from watching the movie I watched Cradle 2 the Grave and enjoyed it more than I enjoyed Transformers 2. I hate it when people say "oh you didn't like it because you were expecting plot" because thats not the case. I didn't like it because it was fucking stupid and a bad movie.

    Its just not for everyone.

    You're not wrong for hating the movie. There is no right or wrong. I dont think the movie was the greatest thing i have ever seen. It was not as good as i hoped it would be, but overall i thought it was good.

  9. I enjoyed this movie, because I went into it expecting to watch robots fuck eachother up.

    And that's what I got.

    I don't give a shit about the plot, it's not going to be good. That's a given. The dialogue is there as an excuse to have the robots do stuff. Humans? Tacky glue to keep the pages with robots together.

    No, it was not well written. No, the acting was not good. No, the plot wasn't the pull of the movie. Shut the fuck up about it.

    You went to see robots that turn into other shit beat the crap out of each other, just like you used to make them do when they were only toys that took 20 minutes to transform into something like Voltron. Only difference is that now they're better looking, transform in 10 seconds, and you don't need an imagination to make them do it.

    If you like watching robots beat the crap out of each other, go see it. If you're expecting a riveting plot and amazing acting from someone who got his start doing kid movies about spies and a woman who's only famous because she's in everyone's wet dream, then you were probably born with the umbilical cord around your neck. You don't get Oscar worthy performances from people you only pay to see because you want them to dance on your dick. Get over it.

    Thank You!!!

    Its Transformers people. Giant Robots fighting. What did you think the movie was going to be about.

    Yes, this movie had a lot more comedy. I found myself laughing a lot. I even ended up liking the Twins.

    "The Vagrance", your friends essay is just a fan boy rant. He prob didnt like the first one either.

    If you didnt like the first one. You wont like this one. I do agree the movie was too long. The middle dragged out too much.

    The movie isnt AMAZING. But i found it entertaining.
