Tangled

Tangled...

Was actually pretty awesome. It was a LOT better than I originally expected. Disney really did a good job with this Computer Generated (CG) movie. Gretchen and I saw it in Disney Digital 3D and it only enhanced the experience.

The plot was CLASSIC Disney, princess, hero and all. I am still surprised how they actually pulled it off, what with their track record of... ALL of their CG movies to date SUCKING. This one being the only exception. Keep in mind I'm not including Pixar movies or Disney live action films.

The animation was so fluid and right that it could easily have been made in 2D from the get go. Disney really did a fine job with this one and my hat goes off to them.

I highly recommend seeing it while it's still in 3D. It seems like 3D just pulls that little bit extra into the film, although it wasn't the GREATEST 3D, still better than usual.

P.S. - The movie kinda seemed like a foot fetish movie... The chick NEVER had shoes on... Just different.

WORK WORK WORK

I've been doing a lot of that lately. It's nice. This week my boss is out of town so I've been going over to a co-workers house (Dan).

A bit about Dan:

This is Dan.

SURPRISE SHOT!

He can do THIS!

And THIS!

Working

This week I started my new job contracting for Inventiv Designs. I'm doing animations for video slot machines. They tell me that they won't get into actual machines for a couple years due to the process that they have to go through, so pretty much everything I'm working on is pretty "hush hush". There seems to be a lot of work to be done so hopefully I'll be able to stick with this for a while.

Gretchen's Hair... again

Here's one that I bumped the levels on so you can actually SEE her hair.

Due Date

Very funny movie. Robert Downey Jr. and Zach Galifianakias make a good contrast in character styles in this comedy. The ending seemed a bit rushed to me but I'd still give this a solid 4/5.

Not as good as the Hangover but still worth seeing on the big screen.

Gretchen's Haircut and a New Baby

Sorry for the really dark shot, but here's one from the hospital where we were visiting Michael and Chelsey with their new born baby girl, Elleana.

Gretchen's Haircut

And here's the happy family.

Looks a lot like both parents in my opinion.

CONTACT!

This is my lame attempt at contacting two of the only people who read my blog and let me know about it... The Pesos and the Hansons.

I am wondering if there will be any kind of GAME NIGHT while George and Natalie are in town? If anyone has any info or ideas, let me know. THANKS!

Here's a little goodie for anyone else who's reading this.

I made another iPhone wallpaper...

Nothing much, but a reiteration of my old winged yeti wallpaper. But I think it's stronger.
