Pinocchio: 70th Anniversary Edition (US - BD RA)
Our Gabe Powers revisits the sheer terror of Disney's most terrifying movie...
There isn't, or shouldn't, be any question as to the incredible achievement of the Walt Disney Studio's second feature length animated film. I could sit and spin on Pinocchio's amazing qualities for at least five paragraphs, but that would be boring (not to mention really easy, I could just transcribe this disc's audio commentary). In hopes of drumming up adult interest in this new release I'm instead approaching the film with the freshest adult eyes I can muster. Pinocchio wasn't one of my favourite Disney films as a kid because it scared the crap out of me. This second glance reveals just as dark and strange a film as I remembered; I'm just old enough now to process the information in a more logical fashion.
The whole thing is downright weird from any traditional storytelling standpoint. The narrative is fractured into four episodic mini-stories, each featuring a new series of random events and characters we've all learned to take for granted over the years. When's the last time you questioned the logic of a liar's nose growing with each new lie? Or the logic of a living wooden boy? Or the logic of sending a 'newborn' wooden boy to school?
I find the character of Jiminy Cricket the story's strangest aspect. Geppetto's a little off, to be sure (I'm positive that if they film came out this year parent groups would be calling him some kind of paedophile), but he's at least a human. Jiminy is a cricket, for Christ's sake. A talking cricket (that looks nothing like a cricket by the way) that acts as an abstract concept—a conscience. And Jiminy is a strange choice for Pinocchio's conscience considering his penchant for flirting with every artificial female human in the vicinity, not to mention the fact that he's obviously a drifter. It's also notable that Jiminy appears to only be seen by Pinocchio, the Blue Fairy, Honest John's cohort Gideon, and Lampwick, all child-like or magical characters. All this wouldn't be quite so strange, had the character not caught on, and become one of the most memorable and beloved in the studio's history.
The strangeness of a wooden boy with an insectoid conscience soon gives way to sheer terror. Not only is Pinocchio kidnapped, exploited, and thrown in a cage, but his capture tells him plainly that he plans on killing him and burning his body as soon as he wears out his welcome. Later, Honest John, who's a fox for some reason, takes a job from a creepy man who's paying good money for little boys, who he's talking to a place called 'Pleasure Island', where he announces they will not return as boys. We learn later they're going to turn into donkeys, but it all sounds pretty dirty, not to mention that they're smoking and drinking beer, two big no-nos according to the new rules of the G rating.
The Pleasure Island sequence is a nightmare. I recall closing my eyes or leaving the room when I was a small child. First a strange, unnamed fat man drops off a bunch of young boys via horse drawn carriage, and they immediately take to fighting each other, smoking cigars, drinking beer, and breaking things. Then a group of black monsters lock the gate. Turns out that the island turns naughty boys into donkeys, and the unnamed fat man strips them (yeah, he strips them), and shoves them into crates for mostly undefined reasons (apparently there's always slave labour jobs available for boys that are willing to make jackasses out of themselves). Pinocchio watches in horror as his new best friend Lampwick transforms into a donkey, while braying in pain for his mother.
Then the story delves even deeper into nightmare logic as Pinocchio and Jiminy return to find Geppetto gone. They make it home and father is gone. They crawl tooth and nail out of one nightmare, only to find themselves in another. But soon a random dove (the Blue Fairy in disguise, apparently) appears with a letter announcing that Geppetto have been swallowed by a whale while looking for the missing boy. Not only has he been eaten, but he and his adorable pets are slowly starving to death. Later, in the battle against the whale, Pinocchio actually drowns and dies (even though he was successfully breathing under water in the preceding scene), but his sacrifice is not in vain, as he's resurrected by the Blue Fairy… just like that other immaculately conceived young man. The nightmare/dream aspect is also informed by the strange way that the film's entire world seems to exist in one place, where Jiminy and Pinocchio can access anything with a simple walk.
It's all beautifully animated (though not quite as beautifully as the studio's next film, Bambi), relatively true to the original tale (which, as I learned from the making of doc, was episodic), and quite charming, but looking back one has to wonder who the film was really made for. The story is all about a child living up to someone else's moral code, and he's forced to follow this code under the threat of never becoming a 'real boy', which sounds surprisingly fascist now that I stop to think about it. It's like the world of Heinlein's Starship Troopers (or more accurately the Paul Verhoven film version), where civilization earns 'citizenship' through service.
The cleanliness of Sleeping Beauty, along with its more recent vintage (which is still pretty ancient), led to a more impressive standard definition to high definition upgrade. Pinocchio looks more 'handmade' in comparison. In hi-def you can see the pen and paint strokes. There's a water effect used as Pinocchio prepares to jump into the sea to find his father that appears almost digital. The following underwater scenes have the most interesting water effects, colours, and fine details in the entire film. In high def the incredible smoothness of the blurring effects are especially impressive. The following scenes featuring Monstro the whale are mix of sketchy cell animation, and highly detailed matte paintings. The contrast of these scenes has always been apparent, but in hi-def it's almost alarming, as is the incredible scale of the sequence.
There's an interesting addition made on this new release which takes advantage of the 1.33:1 framing, which is the film's original aspect ratio. Selecting the Disney View option before playing the film will lead to simple framing images on the left and right instead of plain black. These edges usually take one element of a scene (wood panelling, dark water, circus tents), and change with the on screen action. The changes are sometimes awkward, drawing attention away from the film, and sometimes don't blend quite as inconspicuously as needed, but it's a nice option.
The film may've frightened little Gabe, but the soundtrack record got a real work out on the old Fischer Price player. The specifics of the plot might've gone missing from my brain, but I remember the words to every single one of these tunes. Pinocchio was made in 1940, so stereo wasn't an option, and 7.1 DTS-HD Master Audio was even less of an option. The last time Disney remixed one of their catalogue films the result was the simply immaculate Sleeping Beauty Blu-ray DTS track. The difference is that the people working on Sleeping Beauty had stereophonic tracks to work with.
This DTS track is very close to the restored mono track in scope. There's plenty of opportunity for surround overload (the clock sequence at the beginning, and the whale sequence at the end both come to mind), but for the most part the technicians don't bother. This is fine, though, as crisp and warm mono is preferable to artificially recreated surround and stereo effects. As is, the surround and stereo channels are mostly devoted to the infectious score. The 7.1 adds the most to the .1 piece to the equation, and is a little tougher than the mono track. I was expecting a bit more bass when Monstro the whale is inhaling pre-sneeze, but was not at all disappointed by the LFE punch that followed his breaching attacks on Pinocchio and Geppetto's raft.
Disc one starts the extras with an all new commentary featuring Disney experts Leonard Maltin, Eric Goldberg and J.B. Kaufman. The commentators run through all the film's most important and incredible points (there's really nothing fair or balanced about the subject matter), including story points (even the stranger ones), the film's place in the development of the Disney brand, and ultimately animation in general, and several of the more technical aspects of the animation process. Along the way they share archived interview audio from the original animators, producers, etc. Some of the more intellectual stuff found here is fascinating beyond anything I'd ever be able to muster. There is a Cine-Explore option as well, which augments the track with footage and images, though much of this can be found in the second disc's documentary.
Under 'Music and More' is a music video for Meaghan Jette Martin's new pop version of 'When You Wish Upon a Star'. Martin apparently can't sing because they digitally augment the hell out of her voice. Also included is a sing along option for the film five songs. Under 'Games and Activities' are a fact track option and a trivia answering game. The facts are mostly copied from the commentary, but there are a few bits of additional knowledge, while the game is surprisingly difficult (when expert level is selected), with a multi-player option.
Disc two is divided into two categories, as per the norm for the studio's big animation releases. Under 'Games and Activities' you can find 'Pinocchio's Puzzles' and 'Pleasure Island Carnival Games'. 'Pinocchio's Puzzles' is aimed at pretty young kids (ones that can't yet recognize shapes) and moves pretty slowly. It also froze my player—twice. 'Pleasure Island Carnival Games' include target practice, a guessing game, a strength testing game, and a donkey race. All of them are marginally entertaining.
This brings us to the 'Backstage Disney' menu. The entire set's big extra, even better than the expert commentary, is 'No Strings Attached: The Making of Pinocchio'. This nearly hour long documentary is every bit as information packed as the other solid behind the scenes docs that often accompany Disney's special edition animation releases. This particular doc covers the usual ground, from source material and historical standings, to story development, casting and animation. The usual animation experts explain what makes the film so special, and the animators themselves explain much of the process, though in the form of archive footage, as most of them are very, very dead. The experts indulge in a bit of hyperbole (seriously, how many Disney films can be called the 'pinnacle of animation'?), but don't avoid touching on the film's excruciating horror streak. There is a special focus placed on the film's sound design towards the end of the doc, and the importance of Disney's animated movies in the history of sound and music in film.
Next up are three deleted scenes with an introduction, which includes the story behind finding the scenes. The scenes are 're-created' in the form of script stuff, story boards, and production art, and each feature their own introduction. There are sound effects, and some minor voice acting, along with a commentator that describes things that may not be entirely clear from the sketchy drawings. The first scene is a bedtime story Geppetto tells Pinocchio concerning his 'grandfather', a king tree. The second scene is an extended version of the rather depressing sequence where Geppetto and his pets sit starving in the belly of the whale. The final scene is the sketchiest, and is an alternate ending. In all these run just over ten minutes.
'The Sweatbox' is a brief, six and a half minute look at Walt Disney's innovation of story reels. Apparently Walt was the first person to ever produce film using storyboards by cutting them together as a reel. Then these reels would be scrutinized by Disney and a small audience in order to deal with editing issues before expensive animation commenced. Modern computer animators still use this process. Next are ten minutes of silent 'how-to' footage concerning live-action reference, set with a new narration track.
The art gallery includes sections for development, Gustaf Tenggren's specific development art, character designs, maquettes and models used, backgrounds, storyboards, production photos, and live-action reference. There are a whole lot of images here, but even busy viewers should make time for the Tenggren drawings. There are then three trailers from three different releases of the film (1940, 1984, and 1992), a deleted song about Honest John, presented in audio only (very contemporary for the time), and a sweet little eleven minute featurette about toy makers called 'Geppettos Then and Now'.
The third disc of the set is a DVD copy of the movie, for those of you that don't own a Blu-ray player, but think you might someday (I guess?), or for reviewers like me to score screen caps.
Thankfully I can verify that Pinocchio is still a prime example of vintage Disney animation, but I'd think twice before showing it to your wee ones. Adult fans should take a close second look at this charming and shocking little nightmare on film, it's a wonder of imagination, and features some knock out early character animation. Just put it in perspective for yourself, and I think you'll be surprised what you find. It's not as stunning a Blu-ray release as Sleeping Beauty, which was a more refined motion picture to begin with, but it's still high quality hi-def, and the new extras are divine.
* Note: The images on this page are not representative of the Blu-ray release.

I have to disagree with you on telling parents not to show this to kids. I have loved this film ever since I was a child, and it helped to maintain my love for animation to this day. It was because Disney had the guts to include certain aspects of the story that made it the undeniable masterpiece it still is. We are way too protective over what our children watch these days, and "Pinocchio" should be just as acceptable now, as it was then.

You are right about us being too protective of our children these days, but this particular Disney film, along with most of the studio's early work, wasn't aimed at kids. Parents with nervous children should pay attention to what they're showing their kids, and know their kids well enough to know what they can and can't show them. 'Thinking twice' doesn't mean they shouldn't do it, it just means they should think about it instead of using it as a babysitter.
I was also trying to establish the adult nature of Pinocchio a little better for adults without kids that may think this kind of entertainment is somehow below them, when truthfully it belongs in the same ball park as Casablanca and other genuine classics of the era.

Nope, it was pretty scary. I remember it being one of my favorite movies as a small child, but I can also remember covering my eyes during some scenes.

"The third disc of the set is a DVD copy of the movie, for those of you that don't own a Blu-ray player, but think you might someday (I guess?)"

I was considering upgrading my copy of Pinocchio and this review only confirms it. I dont think I have ever really sat back and just marvelled at how bizarre the story of Pinocchio is!
I think it is pretty scary but still ok for kids with supervision. Disney have always pushed the boundaries for childrens films and I think the intent is for them to be watched by parents and children together, so parents can explain sad and scary bits to the children.
I find Leonard Maltin a bit annoying, but admit he knows his disney. Cant wait to hear his commentary or see the hour long doc. Thought Disney would have problems trumping the Sleeping Beauty set but it seems not....
I like the idea of being able to see the brush strokes in the animation - like seeing the fingerprints in Wallace & Gromit. All adds to the charm.

This review has to be the funniest collection of screencaps I've ever seen in a movie. This movie is really messed up! ;-)
Chamboosy Member Join Date: July 2007 Location: Australia Posts: 111
Absolutely brilliant film. I remember owning it on VHS as a child and never watching the end with Monstro as the whole donkey eared part freaked me out a little too much - then one day I watched the end and damn, I couldn't sleep for weeks. A terrifying but amazingly perfect movie. Sure, not exactly the most kiddy friendly kids film, but it's films like Pinocchio that make me appreciate films like Babe: Pig In The City a lot more in this overly PC society.

I loved the movie when I was little (I haven't seen it since I was like 6) but I remember being terrified at some parts. Especially the donkey stuff for some reason. HA.

There's nothing wrong with PC. No one's forcing anyone to do anything. You're still allowed to let your children watch this movie or any movie (within reason). Warnings are just there for any parents who do feel their child is too young for a particular movie. Not all kids experience movies the same.

More than 18 million Americans live in mobile homes - the housing type accounts for 20% of new home sales nationwide. Many are in very poor states of repair, and have a lot of potential for improvements to safety, comfort, and efficiency.
This course will teach the essentials needed to conduct an energy audit of a manufactured home, and also covers practical retrofit techniques. The first two days of the course are spent in a classroom, while the third takes place in an actual mobile home, allowing for hands on application of the concepts.
There are several crucial differences between the systems operation of a manufactured home and a site-built home. While those that are already BPI Building Analysts will have a head start on some of the basic concepts, the class will cover the unique aspects of manufactured housing construction and operation in depth, leading to your thorough understanding of this building type.

Watford have signed former Tottenham Hotspur goalkeeper Heurelho Gomes on a one-year contract with the option of a further year.
The 33-year-old Brazilian will leave Spurs when his contract at White Hart Lane expires at the end of June and will subsequently join the Hornets.
On Thursday, Watford missed out on former Yeovil Town goalkeeper Marek Stech, who returned to first club Sparta Prague on a three-year deal.
Gomes moved to England in 2008 from Dutch giants PSV Eindhoven and was a regular between the sticks for Spurs until 2011, making 95 Premier League starts in three seasons.
Eventually ousted by Brad Friedel, Gomes was loaned out to Bundesliga side Hoffenheim in the 2012/13 season but played just nine times as injury curtailed his loan spell.
Born in Jao Pinheiro, Gomes began his career with Brazilian side Cruzerio before moving to Europe to join PSV in 2004, where he spent four years and made over 100 appearances.
The 6ft 3in gloveman is a Brazilian international and went to the 2010 World Cup with the Selecao.
Twice a Confederations Cup winner with Brazil, at club level Gomes has won the Eredivisie four times and the Brazilian Serie A once.

Robert G. Ingersoll on the Bible
Every sect is a certificate that God has not plainly revealed His will to man. To each reader the bible conveys a different meaning. About the meaning of this book, called a revelation, there have been ages of war and centuries of sword and flame. If written by an infinite God, He must have known that these results must follow; and thus knowing, He must be responsible for all. Link.

A Clinton man was killed Saturday near the intersection of Carden Road and Carden Farm Road. Clinton police officers have not yet determined if the man died from injuries sustained in a one-vehicle crash or from injuries associated with a train hitting the vehicle after the crash.
Clinton police officers responded to a report of a train hitting a automobile near the intersection of Clinch Avenue and Carden Farm Road early Saturday morning, according to a Clinton Police Department news release.
Officers reportedly arrived at the scene about 3:25 a.m. and found the Norfolk Southern train and vehicle about one-half mile north of the intersection.
According to the release, officers determined a 1992 Mitsubishi driven by 39-year-old Chris Vann of Clinton had been traveling on Carden Road, which runs parallel to the train tracks opposite Carden Farm Road.
Vann's vehicle apparently left the road and rolled down an embankment, coming to rest on the tracks north of the actual train crossing.
According to Police Chief Rick Scarbrough, it is unclear how long Vann's vehicle was on the tracks before being hit, or if Vann was killed during the initial crash or by the impact of the train.
"This isn't a typical car versus train collision, therefore we are still investigating and questions are left to be answered," said Scarbrough. "Norfolk Southern has been very cooperative with our investigation and their support staff responded to the scene quickly."

non-sport cards and card collecting.
(part 3)
Inserts - special randomly-inserted cards which are not part of the regular set. Many modern inserts are sequentially-numbered and rarer than the card sets into which they are inserted.
O-Pee-Chee / OPC - a subsidiary of Topps, this card issue was produced specifically for distribution in Canada.
Promotional Card - generally referred to as cards issued to show what the product will look like on release and intended to help spur future sales. Often called a "promo" card.
Reprint - cards issued to reproduce the originals. With the current trend of vintage reprints, the new versions have a distinguishing characteristic evidenced by numbering.
Restored - a card or piece of memorabilia which someone has tried to return to a "like-new" condition. A restored card is considered to be of very little value.
Rookie Card - any league-licensed, widely distributed card to feature a player in his first year of trading cards.
Series - a group of cards within an issue deliberately split up by the manufacturer to distribute at different times of the year. (i.e.- vintage 1st series cards 1-100 were released in April and 2nd series cards 101-200 were released in July, etc.).
Short Print (SP) - a card printed to a lesser quantity than other cards in a set. Many recent short prints are also individually & serially-numbered.
1974 Topps StampsTopps released this 240 stamp issue in 1974. These 1 by 1 1/2 stamp are unnumbered and feature a color photo with the player's name, team and position inside a colored oval at the bottom of the stamp. Very similar to their 1969 Topps Stamps issue, the 1974 Topps Stamps were issued in panels of 12 stamps. Alomg with the stamps, Topps also issued a set of 24 stamp albums, one per team, to store the stamps. Due to double prints and different combinations of stamps on panels there are actually 24 different 12-Stamp panels. The stamps were not inserts but a totally separate issue and were sold in packs containing one 12-Stamp panel along with one stamp album.
The 1974 Topps Stamps set is packed with SuperStars including over 23 members of the Baseball Hall-of-Fame with greats such as Nolan Ryan, Hank Aaron, Johnny Bench, Ernie Banks, Pete Rose, Reggie Jackson, Al Kaline, Joe Morgan, Willie Stargell, Tom Seaver and plenty more !!! The set even contains seldom seen ROOKIES of Dave Winfield and Dave Parker.

The 1 x 1-7/16 inch stamps were unnumbered and featured a color photo with the player's name, team and position inside a colored banner at the bottom of the stamp. The stamps were released in both vertical and horizontal strips of 12 stamps. The 1969 Topps Stamps are often confused with Topps' 1974 issue. The 1974 Topps Stamps have ovals rather than banners at the bottom and were released only in 12-stamp horizontal panels.
Along with the stamps, Topps also issued a set of 24 albums, one per team, to store them in. The 2 1/2" x 3 1/2" orange albums were the same size as a baseball card and held a complete 10-stamp team set. To add even more collecting fun, the album's back cover had facsimile autographs of the ten players shown in the album.
The 1969 Topps Stamps set is packed with stars like Pete Rose along with tons of Hall-of-Famers including MICKEY MANTLE, Willie Mays, Roberto Clemente & many, many more !!!

Tuesday, October 02, 2012 - Gregor and Tomas - FULL CONTACT
Latest Sets at WilliamHiggins.com
Gregor Bortel has gone to see Tomas Kukal at the rehabilitation centre. Tomas is going to take him through some exercises and then massage him to help him with his recovery from an injury. The start off with some exercises, stretching the muscles. Gregor dutifully copies everything that Tomas does until he is fully stretched. Then he lays on the pommel horse for his massage. Tomas takes some oil and drips it on Gregor's chest and then begins to work it in with his fingers. They move over Gregor's chest and abdomen and then down to his legs. After working on the legs Tomas pulls the leg of Gregor's shorts aside and takes hold of his cock. He begins to wank it with his oily hand, feeling it swell from his touch. Gregor's cock soon gets hard and Tomas leans over and kisses him on the mouth. Then he works his way down Gregor's body, kissing as he goes, until his mouth reaches that hard cock. He sucks on the cock and, after removing the shorts, on the balls too. His mouth works over that cock and his tongue licks up and down the shaft. As he sucks Tomas' cock also gets hard. He removes his shorts and slides his cock into Gregor's mouth for him to suck. Then Tomas swings a leg over so that his ass is positioned over Gregor's face with the cheeks spread. Gregor wastes no time in getting a taste of that sweet hole, his tongue flicking at it very nicely. As he rims Tomas' ass Gregor wanks himself and then they move, so that Tomas is on his knees on the horse with Gregor behind him, sliding his cock in and out of that tight hole. He fucks Tomas with nice long strokes, slowly working in and out of his hole. Tomas loves the feeling and changes position, so that he is on his back, with a leg in the air. Gregor's dick is deep in his ass, filling it real well. Another change sees Gregor on his back and Tomas sitting right down on that rock hard cock, riding it real well. He loves how that cock feels in his ass and his own dick is throbbing, hard and ready to blow. Tomas takes hold of it and wanks it as he continues to ride on Gregor's. Soon he shoot his load all over the horse with his ass still riding Gregor. Then Tomas lays on the horse so that Gregor can shoot his cum all over his chest. He then takes the spent cock in his mouth to drain it completely as a finale to a great scene.
Albert Sin is a very handsome guy who we invited in for a massage. He appears, in just his snazzy boxers, and quickly removes them before laying down on the couch. The masseur arrives and places a towel over Albert't cute little ass before getting to work. Taking some oil the masseur's hands begin to massage Albert's back. Straddling him the hands move up and down the back in long, slow motions. After also working on the shoulders he moves down to Albert's hairy thighs. Each leg and foot is oiled and massaged in turn and then the hands move up to Albert's ass, slippping under the towel. With the towel removed Alberts ass cheeks are squeezed and spread so we get a nice glimpse of his hole. Some lube is dripped into the ass crack and it is teased with a vibrator before Albert gets up onto his knees. In that position the masseur takes hold of Alberts cock and begins to wank it. The cock, wanked backwards between Albert's legs gets rather quite quickly. The vibrator appears again, and this time it slides into Alberts tight little hole. With it held in place in that ass the cock is wanked nice and hard. A larger toy is then pushed into his ass, and he holds it in place for a while as he is wanked. After some more play with the first vibrator Albert turns over and lays on his back. His big cock is wanked and vey soon shoots a nice, creamy load for us. What a very nice guy and a lovely massage.
Albert Kroka is a aged 19 and lives in Prague. He is a student who enjoys sports and football. Alabert is a very easy going guy and in this video he starts by opening his shirt as he sits on the sofa. Then running his hands over his chest he slips one under the waist band of his jeans to feel his cock. When it is hard he opens the jeans and pulls it out for us. He wanks the cock, with its big shiny head. It is certainly a nice thick dick and he has it rock hard. As Alberts stands up the cock is pointing skywards and he revels in wanking it some more as he removes his shirt. He stands there so we can enjoy his hardness, then he turns around to show his hot ass too. The cheeks spread, so that we can see his hole as he also pushes that thick cock down between his legs. Then, removing his jeans he sits back on the sofa and wanks some more. Taking a vibrator he runs it over his body before slipping it into his tight ass. With his legs in the air Albert works the vibrator in and out of his ass. Then he drops the legs and wanks himself to a mighty climax, shooting the cum up his body. Then it is off to the shower to clean up and end a very nice video.
Dario Musketa is aged 21 and lives in Prague. He is unemployed at present and likes music, cycling and ice-hockey.
What a treat for the eyes Dario is, with that long hair and a very cute beard. He looks wonderful as he slowly strips off his clothes, posing as he goes. When he is fully naked we see that the hair isn't only on his head he has a very full bush too. He does some great poses to ensure that we get to see every inch of him, with his cock hard and his ass well spread. This is a very enjoyable shoot indeed, with Dario making sure we see absulutely everything.

Often it's to easy to cancel a Alert or answer a call when the Device is locked (keyboard and touchscreen) and you have to put it out of your pocket and/or your case.
There should be a better action instead only touching a button on the screen.
You hear a alert, put your maemo device out of the pocket and when you have it in your hand the display is dark again. When you unlock the device, there is no hint what's going on? You only know from the sound, was it a alarm, a reminder or a call you've canceled accidentally. But, a reminder? Have you Snooze it or disable it? Have you a appointment in 15 minutes? You have to go to the calendar and search what was going on.
This Brainstorm points to incomming Calls, reminder, Alerts, Alarms and every other event that needs a user action while the Device is locked. The target is to get a consistent solution for all kind of this events.
Here is the Discussion at maemo talk: LINK

Thor (US - BD)
Gabe rides the Bifröst until he's sick, then throws up in Odin's royal toilet...
A long time ago, in a realm far, far away Odin (Anthony Hopkins), the king of Asgard, waged war against the Frost Giants of Jotunheim, and their bloodthirsty leader Laufey (Colm Feore), to prevent them from conquering the nine realms – a branching series of dimensions connected by a rainbow powered bridging unit called the Bifröst. The Frost Giants were beaten, and their main source of power, the Casket of Ancient Winters, was taken. Now, Odin's oldest son Thor (Chris Hemsworth) is preparing to ascend to his father's throne. But the ceremony is interrupted when a group of Frost Giants attempt to steal back the Casket, and against his father's wishes Thor gathers his friends, The Warriors Three (Ray Stevenson, Joshua Dallas and Tadanobu Asano), Sif (Jaimie Alexander) and his younger brother Loki (Tom Hiddleston) to invade Jotunheim. After causing a fair amount of damage, the small invasion force is stopped by Odin himself, who in his anger strips Thor of his powers, and exiles him to Midgard, aka: Earth. Meanwhile, an astrophysicist named Jane Foster (Natalie Portman), along with her assistant Darcy Lewis (Kat Dennings) and mentor Dr. Erik Selvig (Stellan Skarsgård) search the New Mexico sky for astrological anomalies, and find themselves in the presence of a fallen god.
Marvel seems to have really built a brand for their independent productions, for better and worse, as this brand is best defined by steep hills and cavernous valleys. So far the odd movie out is Incredible Hulk, which despite being my least favourite of the studio's releases, features the most consistent all around quality terrain, but otherwise the rest of the studio releases have followed the general rules. The hills usually include great central casting, including lead actors that transcend the scripted material (Robert Downey Jr., Jeff Bridges, Gwyneth Paltrow, Tim Roth, William Hurt, Mickey Rourke, Sam Rockwell, etc), amusing character interactions, attractive production design that is true to the source material without being slavish, and some well executed action set pieces. The valleys are usually delegated to weak screenplays, which include sagging middle sections that don't quite bridge the first and last acts, extraneous subplots that attempt to connect the entire series, and generally disappointing climatic action scenes. Thor follows this rule book quite closely, apart from its climax, which is actually close to its strongest element on basic filmmaking levels.
The first rule, that of a great central cast, is fulfilled in spades, most likely in large part due to director Kenneth Branagh's pull in the acting community, along with his ability to direct actors. Chris Hemsworth isn't a Robert Downey Jr. sized slam dunk (when I read Iron Man comics these days I hear Downey Jr.'s voice), but he nearly-perfectly embodies important elements inherent not only in over 40 years of comic books, but in hundreds of years of the character's mythological origins. Hemsworth looks the part, and walks a delicate line between contemptible swagger, and loveable flaws. Tom Hiddleston is the even bigger 'find' for this particular cast, however. He plays both sides of Loki with balance, making his pain as believable as his evil. Loki is so compelling that even if none of the other components worked Thor would still be worth watching as a set-up for the main villain of the upcoming Avengers film. Anthony Hopkins seems a logical choice for Odin, and likely thanks to Branagh's influence, he doesn't sleepwalk through the role, as seems to be his default setting recently. Ray Stevenson, Joshua Dallas, Jaimie Alexander and Tadanobu Asano (best know as Kakihari in Miike's Ichi the Killer) aren't given much screen time, but all manage to covey what is needed with The Warriors Three and their friend Siff (nerd baiting: the Marvel version of Wonder Woman). There really isn't a weak joint in the cast, though poor Natalie Portman, who we all know can act quite well, is incapable of making Jane Foster anything but a distraction from the infinitely more interesting Odinson family dynamic.
This brings us to Branagh himself, who is the best director Marvel has scored yet as a lone studio, and the best to touch a Marvel product since Ang Lee. I doubted his chops in the arena of epic comic book adaptation when his name was announced (and lamented the loss of Matthew Vaughn, whose pitch was apparently astronomically expensive), but the more I thought about it, the more the choice made sense. An actor/director obsessed with recreating Shakespeare ad nauseam was an obvious fit for the melodrama of godly angst. Branagh's action chops haven't been in question since Henry V (insert stupid ' Henry IV wasn't as action-packed' joke here), but his work with action and special effects is suspect. The early scenes featuring gods battling frost giants make little visual sense thanks to unnecessary camera movement and a lack of lighting. Overall, though, I'd say his showing here is better than expected, despite some silly and weightless CG creatures. The Destroyer scenes on Earth work much better, but any action scene, no matter how decently executed, feels like a stop-gap between infinitely more interesting character interactions. Besides the iffy CG action Branagh's work with Asgard and the spacey realms is quiet enjoyable, both in terms of production design (this is a fine adaptation of a difficultly oddball source material) and camera work, but his choices aren't nearly as successful in our world, specifically all the ridiculous Dutch angles, and continuously floating steady-cam. The production staff takes pains to create a stylistic divide between the design of the two worlds, but Branagh doesn't change up his camera work, leaving the occasionally brilliant design to flap in the wind. I'm not saying the Earth scenes should require raw, grainy film, or even a shaky, hand-held look, but more subdued and 'realistic' framing would've gone a long way.
In fact, the entire film is more comfortable in Asgard than it is on Earth. The comedic elements driven into the Earth bound sequences (which I've heard did not go over well with many fans) sit fine (I guffawed plenty), and the juxtaposition of the realms is appreciated, but the utter melodrama plays naturally in the fantasy realms of Asgard. When drama hits Earth it feels forced, inorganic, and it's a whole lot easier to laugh at the film instead of with it. This brings us to the third rule of a Marvel Studios' adaptation: a weak script with a saggy middle section. Iron Man 2 still dazzles far more intensely with its numbingly slow second act, and overall Thor is perhaps the tightest plotted film the studio's independent history, but Thor's powerless adventures on Earth are certainly the film's weakest moments. Despite silly special effects during the frost giant fight, the first 30 minutes are a testament to efficient storytelling, as are any moments we are taken back to Asgard throughout the film, but as Thor settles so does the pacing. More troubling is the fact that Thor's relationship with the humans, specifically Jane, who is supposed to be the love that changes his entire outlook on life, is pleasant at best, fatiguing at worst. Marvel's need to make SHEILD a unifying element of all of these films (something I was originally looking forward to when it was hinted in Iron Man) also damages the flow of this section, especially during the awkward introduction of Hawkeye. It makes sense for the story (Thor is treated like an alien, and movies have taught us to expect a pretty consistent human reaction to alien arrivals), and is better integrated than the narrative halting SHEILD scenes in Iron Man 2, but stammers Branagh's flow enough to burden the onset of the climax.
Based on the differentiation in the looks of Asgard and Earth I was thinking that perhaps Branagh and cinematographer Haris Zambarloukos used a mix of digital HD and 35mm film in making Thor, but under the imdb.com specs list are only a few different 35mm camera rigs. Behind the scenes footage seems to reveal that there wasn't even all that much digital grading involved, but the divided looks define this 1080p, 2.35:1 transfer. For the most part the realms of the gods are clean, sharp, and are generally exemplified in the form of limited, but vibrant colour schemes. The Midgard is dirtier, and features a livelier palette. As stated in the review, early action sequences are too dark, but these were just as dark in the theater, so I can't really blame the disc. During the dark Jotunheim scenes the red of Thor's cape, and of the frost giant's eyes stand quite nicely against the otherwise blue backdrop. Loki's green outfit does the same back in the otherwise gold and yellow sheen of Asgard. The detail levels are also generally sharper in Asgard, or at least more consistent. I am especially impressed with the complex backgrounds of the Bifröst set. Earth features more shallow focus, and blown-out natural lighting. Details here are still quite sharp, especially in those wonderful beards, things are just less impressive overall. The Earthbound sequences also occasionally feature minor issues with colour blending, specifically the bleeding green tints, which create some edge noise. The widest helicopter shots especial have noticeable digital sharpening artifacts (look closely around 53:00), though there is plenty of reasonably obvious haloing in close-up as well, especially around the white/green interiors of the temporary SHIELD base.
The good folks at Paramount did send me the 3D version of this release, but I am unable to review it at this time.
When I saw Thor in theaters it was really damn loud. Too loud. So loud people where holding their ears to escape genuine pain. This DTS-HD Master Audio 7.1 track is also mighty loud, but this time I have control over the volume, which made it much easier to appreciate the intricacies of this brand of loudness. The whole film is awash with noise (I really dig the zippy whatever that sound is when people fly through the Bifröst), but the big fight scenes are the noisiest. The frost giant fight is impressive in its directional movement, the Destroyer fight is impressive in its dynamic use of sound (the Destroyer's blast being a bit too loud, frankly), but it's the climax that I enjoyed the most for its more unique choices, especially the metal on metal scream that accompanies the hammer and spear clashes. Occasionally the aggressive nature of the mix overwhelms the on-screen action, and pulled me out of the film. The sequence in which Thor attempts to retrieve his hammer from the SHIELD base features some awkwardly separated elements. The front channels feature all the action of the sequence, while the rears are almost exclusively reserved for thunder effects. Patrick Doyle's score is passable, and rarely intrusive, but not particularly memorable either. I did like the end credit theme quite a bit, but couldn't hum it for you even if you had a gun against my head.
The extras begin with a solo commentary track from director Kenneth Branagh. I'm guessing Branagh gives seminars on the subject of drama, or at the very least he must speak to college students regularly, because he's great at this kind of public speaking. His thoughts are precise and concise without seeming terse, his tone is warm, without being silly, and the track is educational without being dry. It's genuinely heartening to know that Branagh wasn't just a director for hire, and that he enjoyed working with effects, designing action scenes, and delving into both the Norse and Marvel mythologies. I really enjoyed his discussion on the film's deeper themes, and their connections between classic and contemporary storytelling. His description of some of the films more fantastical elements are much less interesting, but Branagh's spirit makes even these low points easy to traverse. Branagh also covers his thoughts on the 3D post conversion process. He expresses skepticism, but puts on a brave face, and discusses what he hoped it brought to the film.
The disc features six behind the scenes featurettes. These start with 'From Asgard to Earth' (19:40, HD) which covers the production design of Asgard, the architecture, building the sets, working from the comics (specifically Kirby's), costume design, character design, the rainbow bridge design, the juxtaposition of the Earth designs, and location shooting. This features interviews with Branagh, producers Kevin Feige, Victoria Alonso and Craig Kyle, production designer Bo Welch, costume designer Alexeandra Byrne, various members of the art department, and actors Chris Hemsworth, Anthony Hopkins, Tom Hiddleson, Jaimie Alexander, and Ray Stevensen, and features plenty of production images, along with a touch of behind the scenes photography. The shorter featurettes include 'Our Fearless Leader' (3:20, HD), a chance for most of the major cast and crew members to discuss their love of Branagh, 'Assembling the Troupe' (4:50, HD), which covers everyone's love of Hemsworth, Portman and Hopkins, and Hemsworth's training, 'Hammer Time' (6:10, HD), which covers producing the physical hammer prop and the mythology behind (including Stan Lee misremembering his part in the creative process), 'Creating Laufey' (5:30, HD), on hiring Colm Feore and designing the frost giants, 'Music of the Gods' (2:00, HD), on Patrick Doyle's score, and 'A Conversation' (2:20, HD) featuring Stan Lee and J. Michael Straczynski filming their cameos.
Next up are 11 deleted/extended scenes with optional Branagh commentary (24:34, HD) including some really fun character introductions and interactions, some incomplete digital effects, and a better explanation of the Odin Sleep for the newbies in the audience. Every brief piece of Thor being a good person on Earth probably should've been reinstated. Next up is the first of what will apparently be two Marvel One-Shots starring Clark Gregg as Phil Coulson of SHIELD (3:30, HD). Here we discover that Blonski (The Abomination) is wanted by SHEILD (meaning he's still alive), and then witness the Tony Stark scene from The Incredible Hulk replayed in the proper context. 'Road to The Avengers' (3:00, HD) is an ad for the new movie featuring footage from all the other movies, footage from the 2010 Comic Con, and Joss Whedon talking up his film, along with members of the cast and production crew. Things are completed with a trailer, a teaser trailer, and an Avengers: Earth's Mightiest Heroes animated series ad.
I went into Thor with very little hope of really enjoying myself. I have only vague interest in the character, and the busy nature of Iron Man II left me weary of the turns this burgeoning movie universe was taking. I had also hoped that Marvel would take the Ultimates line's slant on the character, where it isn't clear if Thor is an actual Norse god, or just a crazy neo-hippy with extraordinary powers. But whatever its problems, and it has many problems, Kenneth Branagh's film has made a believer out of me, and I very much look forward to Thor and Loki's continuing adventures in next year's The Avengers. This Blu-ray release looks pretty good, though it seems some of the style has gotten in the way of the image quality at some points, sounds just about perfect, and features a nice collection of extras, topped by a solid solo commentary track from the director.

"There, I said it. Microsoft has been bombarding the media with claims about how much better IE9 is than all the other browsers, more HTML5 and CSS3 compliant than any other browser that ever existing and ever will. It's the only browser that passes all the tests they made up. And, Microsoft has finally implemented the CSS3 selectors that were implemented by other browsers back in, what? 2003? Because Microsoft has updated IE to support CSS3 selectors and rounded corners, they want us to believe that somehow IE9 magically supports the whole slew of CSS3 visual styling. I'm afraid it doesn't. As a matter of fact, IE9's support for CSS3 visual styling is so poor that the results are shocking."

ADRIAN — After years of plan revisions and delays, the opening of a Lenawee County recycling center was marked with a ribbon-cutting ceremony Wednesday.
"All of those standing behind me did a great deal to bring this to a conclusion," said Robert Knoblauch before snipping a red ribbon before a group of people at the collection site. Knoblauch is chairman of a committee that oversees the county's solid waste department.
The project has gone through several planning phases, and several obstacles were overcome in the past two years, he said.
"We persevered and today we have this drop-off station," Knoblauch said. "We're all very proud of what we've been able to accomplish. It took a long time."
The drive-through collection site is at Race and River streets on property the county purchased several years ago from Bales Inc. The $200,000 project involved building an embankment and paved driveway to allow recyclers to pull up to automatic compactors. Material is compressed in bins connected to the compactors, turning on automatically after doors are opened and closed five times.
Several county commissioners expressed satisfaction with the project during a physical resources committee meeting on Monday.
"I think it's going to be very good for the community," said commissioner Cletus Smith, R-Madison Twp.
The site actually opened Nov. 26 and has been operating without any significant problems, said Lenawee County Administrator Martin Marshall. The fenced collection site is open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily except for Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, New Year's Eve, New Year's Day and Thanksgiving.
One compactor is for paper and cardboard materials, and a second is designated for plastic, metal and glass material.
Opening of the center in Adrian has triggered a number of telephone calls from people asking if the county's Saturday morning recycling program at several rural sites has ended, said Diana Schroeder, the solid waste department's administrative clerk.
The solid waste committee voted Wednesday to halt the rural recycling collection in Rome Township after this month due to low participation.
Collections at Devils Lake, near Loch Erin and in Macon are to end when county satellite collection sites are established to replace them.
"I think everybody on the committee wants that sooner rather than later," Knoblauch said.
"We do want to shut down the rural sites that we are operating now on Saturday mornings and have probably three rural sites that would operate similar to what we have now in Adrian," Knoblauch said. The plan is to have one automatic compactor at each satellite site. They are to be operated in partnerships with local communities.
Clinton Township is a potential location for a satellite site. Township supervisor William Zimmerman said Wednesday an unmanned collection center the township has sponsored for several years is closing on Dec. 15. He said he hopes to organize a replacement program with the county by spring.
The current site is being closed because trucking costs are rising sharply, Zimmerman said, and because of problems with material being dropped off.
"People wanted to dump their junk," he said.
Knoblauch said there is also interest in the Blissfield community for a collection site.

A dance, featured in the British comedy film The Inbetweeners Movie always to the tune of We speak no Americano by Yolanda Be Cool. The dance is ironic as all the moves are quite awkward and very simple, like a piss-take macarena. Sadly though, the dance is an inside joke with the majority of the uk, who have seen the movie, and as the film has not been released overseas, anyone from outside the UK will have no idea of the dance's funny origin, and just think they are being strange. If they had heard of the dance, or seen it before, the chances are that they have seen the British boyband One Direction perform it and incorrectly assume that they made it up, with humiliating consequences for any Brit abroad.
"...So I was at this club, not doing much, when suddenly 'we speak no americano' comes on, and simultaneously, everyone in the club starts doing the Inbetweeners Dance in sync! WIN!"
