I saddled up with @falisifr for an extraordinary piece on Butch and Sundance. We don't publish hit jobs but Frank demonstrates how to write on a movie you dislike while maintaining heart and generosity (and dig that subtly trippy art from @studioralston!) https://t.co/XMddTTAOeF
For the Moments issue, @m_tlamsa contributed a beautifully personal piece on the significance of one seemingly low-key moment in the undersung masterpiece Brooklyn (which also included our first illustration from the great @karaghbyrne). https://t.co/KJl7RyM3JG
Introducing the three year old to Ponyo, and I’d never fully appreciated the way the colored pencil backgrounds give this not just the feeling but the texture of a classic children’s story
@JasonAChristian Feel like a good deal of Bill Bryson’s latter day work could fall under this umbrella
Also, in prepping for @IncrementVice (look, I was following up Rian Johnson and everyone, I had to do something) I took one frame from every shot in the opening scene of Inherent Vice and fed them into a neutral network that turned them into “an art piece” and…yeah, far out man.
How about one more boost for my @BWDR essay on the influences fueling Over the Garden Wall, stopping by Miyazaki and Carroll before landing more decisively on L. Frank Baum: https://t.co/x8mDTWLzVH
It made a ton of sense when I learned the Over the Garden Wall team based their background paintings on the Hudson River School, one of my favorite eras in art because I'm a corny b*tch who lives for sublime awe in the face of the natural world https://t.co/8sL9YsrFqc
Colonial folk tales, antique lithographs, L Frank Baum, and old cartoons (and lots and lots more) oh my!
Been spending a lot of time with the Frances books lately and something subtle that I really love about the Hobans’ approach is that Frances’ parents usually look basically serene, but no matter what, they always look god…damn…exhausted…
