365 Days of Charley: Fact No. 46 - There are FOUR Lights! :

365daysofcharley:

Yesterday I had the privledge of watching the most recent Star Trek movie, Star Trek Into Darkness, which is the second movie in a reboot of a franchise that originated on television in the 1960s and couldn’t survive through two of the five years it gave itself.

The fact that Star Trek has…

Great blog post from Charley Reed on what Star Trek means to him. From someone who was born when ST:TNG was on the air.

I remember posting somewhere once in a thread about why girls aren’t exploited in animation anymore where some guy said, “all the disney girls are drawn to be generally attractive, but I don’t think there are any eye-candy men… or are there? Are there any Disney men that lots of girls like?” and I mentioned Roger. Tons of girls replied agreeing with me and the original guy was like “wait, Roger? from 101 Dalmatians? What’s attractive about him, he’s tall and lanky and has a big nose, he isn’t muscley at all! Wouldn’t you all prefer Gaston or something? Or do you girls think his big nose is indicative of something else?” and I was like “no, you idiot, he’s a silly, goofy guy who likes animals and can play a bunch of instruments, that’s why he’s attractive. What’s the matter with you? Gaston, seriously?”

This is why we need more girls in animation. And more guys like Roger apparently.

Giant Days 2 cover… until I change my mind

John Allison’s Bad Machinery is a great comic about mystery solving teens, but I don’t mind at all that he is filling in for a couple of months with his wonderful college-themed Giant Days. Keep Giant Days going as long as you like Mr. Allison!

mountainstage:

In case you don’t know the history of our show - Mountain Stage is now in its 30th year. And in those thirty years, one of our greatest milestones happened 22 years ago this week, when R.E.M. appeared on Mountain Stage. And even though the band was at the height of their mainstream popularity, having released Out of Time only weeks earlier, R.E.M did not tour to promote the album. They did three broadcast events that year: MTV Unplugged, Saturday Night Live, and Mountain Stage.

I love Mountain Stage!

“Our mountains are not like Western ones, those jagged awesome ones, your eyes always pulled to their tops. But that is the difference, I decided. In the West, the mountains are mostly horizon. We live in our mountains. It’s not just the tops, but the sides that hold us.”
