Yep, all animated stuff looks better hand done :)  Looney Tunes forever !  

I too love the hand drawn "The Snowman" from 1982, I saw the documentary of 
how it was made and it was amazing of course !

One decline (as a prominent Assyriologist said, *De l'age de la pierre
jusqu'a maintenant, quelle degringolade*) that bugs me is what appears to
me to be inferior movements of the characters in the new computer animation
compared to those in the old hand drawn ones. I recently re-watched "Who
Killed Roger Rabbit," and also read how this was one of the last big ones
to feature hand drawn animation. Perhaps with the latest computer
animations, technology has caught up with skill; my daughter just watched
Beauty and Beast and says it does. But all the Pixar and Disney animations
I've seen fall short of Porky Pig and Jessica Rabbit. For one thing, the
animators seem to feel obliged to insert far too many facial and bodily
movements meant to express emotion, as if, finding it easy to make such
motions, they feel obliged to do it as much as they can, so you have faces
continually twitching and bodies continually swaying and bouncing.

There, I feel better.

[RBW] book of possible interest to Rivendell riders

[Garth]

Remember the day of returnable bottles for beer and pop?  Seems like everything 
tasted better out of those truly recycled(meaning washed locally, not destroyed 
and remade somwhere far away) bottles.

[RBW] book of possible interest to Rivendell riders

[Garth]

Yes, one does not negate the other, they compliment each other. Just like all 
of our bike stuff, whatever we call "it" . life compliments life. 

I sometimes miss having a land line compared to the other-wierdly sound of all 
digital cell calls on a cell network of wifi. I remember when I first saw 
digital tv and could compare it at home directly. I was watching Gunsmoke 
comparing the analog cable to Dish hd I thought, "what happened to 
everyones face, I cannot see their skin detail and tone anymore" .   I don't 
have a tv anymore☺ needless to say. Some-day some-one will come along and 
market their digital tv as "looking real life like analog".

[RBW] book of possible interest to Rivendell riders

[Jim S.]

I have been reading a new book that might be of interest to group members: *The 
Revenge of Analog *by David Sax. So far, the author has discussed the 
revival of vinyl records just when it appeared that the MP3 had conquered 
vinyl forever. I think he's going to take it to other areas as well.

I see parallels between a preference for vinyl records and a preference for 
friction shifting, among other things. (It could be that I just spend too 
much time thinking about bikes.)
