*Disabled vs. Wild II* was shot in Sutton, WV in April of 2009 when the bear was on the prowl!
Dirty Pair on Veoh
The “Original” Dirty Pair has always been one of my favorite cartoons (with the Dirty Pair Flash cartoon being one of my least favorites). While the storylines aren’t anything really to write home about, what I enjoy about the Dirty Pair is the cartoon’s silly sense of fun mixed with science fiction, and I love the animation. I spent most of the weekend re-watching all the movies and shows, and then thought I’d scour the net to see if there were any episodes out there for the Protozic uninitiated. I found this — though the subtitles are sort of difficult to read. Regardless, the music intro rocks.

Thom there is a iPhone version of the video. The aspect ratio is screwed up though. Don’t know why. TIM RESPOND.
Bear
There was a bear near my mother’s place in Sutton, WV. Thom and I were in the area shooting a documentary around the time the bear was still alive and snooping around.
Prior to the shooting of the bear, the neighbors were concerned that it might get Max, my mom’s dog, and have a little Max snax.
Here are some pictures.

HOLY BAT-TOON!
There’s a not-so-new cartoon gracing the glass teat on Cartoon Network. “Batman: The Brave and The Bold” is based on the old comic book of the same name. The Caped Crusader teams up with a different hero from the DC universe each week to fight for the forces of goodness and niceness. The tone is a lot lighter than the Batman animated series of the 90’s and the Justice League ‘toons of the early 21st but it doesn’t venture into jackassery. The teaser features Batman and another hero in an unrelated takedown of a villain before the main adventure. The heroes and villains are generally depicted in their Golden / Silver Age representations. You won’t see any of the biggies (no Superman here folks) which I find refreshing. The guest good guys and baddies have included Green Arrow, Plastic Man, Etrigan, Adam Strange, Kammandi, the Golden Age Flash, Gentleman Ghost, Scarecrow, Black Manta, Gorilla Grodd, and Babyface. The only drawback is the Blue Beetle who makes several appearances in the role of “teenage sidekick.” The animation is good, the stories clever, and Batman’s wit is dry as a martini.

Bumpy Nerds
I went to the store after Easter to buy some sale stuff. This is what I ended up with. I already ate one bag; this one is going to Mike at some point. They are pretty gross. Jelly beans with a hard Nerd coating.
Nerds has had some dubious spinoffs in the past, but I think this is the worst. Mike used to talk about Nerds gum balls. And I’ll never forgive my mom for not buying me Nerds cereal when I was younger.

Father Time – Movie Pitch
Joe sent me this movie pitch the other day. I tried to post it on Mandy. We’ll see if it goes live.

Jim Carrey is a Divorced man who is now an Episcopalian priest. He has an estranged son from his previous marriage. The son has a Dog named Lou.
One day Jim Carrey and his son go to an amusement park as they attempt to keep up their relationship – a relationship that at best can be described as acrimonious.
The duo and the dog (or Lou) all go on the roller coaster and after going through a tunnel emerge in a world circa1965. The dog can now talk too – he serves as comic relief as he burps and farts his way through this gripping drama. While my comedy handbooks suggest that bodily humor can sometimes alienate certain audiences, rarely has this humor been attached to an animal which have consistently been proven to be box office draws (Benji, C.H.O.M.P.S., Marley and Me, etc.).
Jim Carrey realizes that he can give a better life to his son by having him invest in Microsoft and telling him who to bet on in the Kentucky Derby (Jim Carry the priest was a big-time horse gambler – that is what cost him his marriage) but his son does not like to gamble as he is a devout Episcopalian. (Making the son a Muslim instead of an Episcopalian is another consideration. This could be seen as PC move and broaden our appeal in certain circles.)
Trouble ensues and the elder dad dies. The son bets all of his money on the horse “Proud Clarion” and makes a bunch of money in the Kentucky Derby. The son acknowledges that his father was right, and vows to be just like him when he grows up….
Fast Forward to modern days. The son has grown up and looks just like Jim Carrey. He also has an estranged relationship with his own son. The two decide to go on a roller coaster together…..
The dog winks. And farts.
The movie is called Father Time.
