Yeah, the whole bear chest thing was weird, the female bears had only a single monoteat sans nipples, running athwart their torsos; in reality, they should have been built so as to shame the She-Wolf of Rome.

Hey friends, I hope you're having a good week. Tomorrow will be our last showcase for Janimation Anuary, and I have something very special picked out for us, but before I get into that I wanted to talk briefly about the movie I was hoping to watch with you this month and just could not make happen. I'm disappointed but the show must go on, and I'm going to take this moment to tell you why you should check it out on your own, if you can. It's a strange and wonderful French film entitled Le Roi et l'Oiseau (The King and the Mockingbird), and the only copy I've been able to find is on Archive.org, and it's a partial chopped-up version called The Curious Adventures of Mr. Wonderbird. And since Archive doesn't play too nice with PSP-tv, I'm just gonna put this link here and ask that anybody interested in surreal French dream-logic animation check it out, or, even better, find a copy of the DVD and see the full thing. It is absolutely mind-blowing just on its own, and when you understand the story behind it it gets even moreso. Director Paul Grimault started this version of the faerie tale "The Shepherdess and the Chimney Sweep" in 1948 and hit some trouble, so what he had finished was released as Wonderbird in 1952 (with weird narration by Peter Ustinov) without his permission. He then fought to get the rights back and eventually finished it the way he really wanted, after thirty years. When we started this theme month for movie nights, a couple people suggested we watch an animated film with a similarly difficult story behind its making: Richard Williams' The Thief and the Cobbler, which is also very excellent but will always be secondary to Le Roi et L'Oiseau in my mind because it was never actually finished. Cobbler was eventually just sort of patched together with animatics and scraps by fans and enthusiasts into the "re-cobbled" cut, which has some very nice parts but is still sort of janky and hard to watch. Both films are masterpieces no doubt, and both took three decades to make which is astonishing, but at the end of the day Cobbler still belongs to the category of unfinished masterpieces, and Le Roi does not. Grimault really did finish his life's work, exactly as he meant to do it, and it is glorious, and it belongs in the all-time pantheon of great animated feature films. Eventually we may watch Wonderbird and Cobbler as part of some exploration of unfinished movies, which are a neat idea all on their own. I highly recommend anybody interested in such things check both out on your own time, but we're gonna stick with finished films I can find on Youtube for now. And as much as Le Roi et L'Oiseau is a personal favorite, the one I have picked out instead is even moreso, as you will soon see! Edit- Oh yeah and since it's the last night, if there are any animated shorts anybody wants to watch, post 'em here or PM me, we'll finish with a best-of for the whole month. And no, that does not include Aluminum on the March. BoldFrankensteinMir fucked around with this message at 17:53 on Jan 29, 2021

The founders of Studio Ghibli rave about this movie; they released the Japanese dub themselves in a special edition a while ago. I think it's the impossible backgrounds and relaxed editing that let you really get a sense of place that they loved. This and Spirited Away are the absolute best examples of that I've ever seen.

Yeah, I should have used more words. It looks really interesting. Like, one time in college my roommate brought home this apparently French cartoon about humans enslaved by these giagantic (to us) blue aliens, and even though I only saw it once, it's stuck with me ever since. This seems like that kind of film. E: La Planete Sauvage |

This seems like that kind of film. I love Fantastic Planet! In that it terrifies me, haha. Yeah, I remember my first encounter with that one too. I vividly recall walking home and being afraid to see giant fin-eared red-eyed giants coming to gas the city. Shudder. Something about French cartoons carries special nightmare energy, I'm convinced of it. Charlie Hebdo just has some extra edge on it that's impossible to describe (and deny, anymore, unfortunately). If you want a really freaky one, and you don't mind full-blown pornography cartoons (like it's an animated Tijuana BIble basically), check out Tarzoon: Shame of the Jungle from 1975. It too leaves a sizzling brand mark in your psyche that will never leave you.

Tonight! At 4pm PST 7pm EST Midnight GMT, join us in http://psp-tv.com/r/BYOBmovies for the very last night of Janimation Anuary! It's been a great month, and to finish it off we're going to watch one of my all-time favorite films in any medium, 1971's The Point Contrary to that poster however we will not be watching the Ringo Starr version, we will be watching the version with narration by Alan Thicke. Yes, there are three versions of The Point and fans have theories about which is best (I personally like Dustin Hoffman's original broadcast version most but he was only paid for it to air once, weirdly) but none of them are bad, and they're hardly the focus of the movie. Not the point, you might say. Sigh. The Point is a fable (of the most classic kind! There are very few movies that qualify so well, actually!), originally presented as a concept album by Harry Nilsson, who is an amazing singer/song-writer if you've never heard his work before. You may know him best as one of Alice Cooper's infamous Hollywood Vampires drinking club, but this fun, catchy kids' story is what I like to remember him most for. Academy award winning animator Fred Wolf's personal style and skill add a lot too (you almost certainly know him best, if not for this, for the famous Tootsie Roll owl commercial), so there are some serious earworms in this movie, and extremely memorable performances, and unforgettable sequences, and puns, oh god so many puns... it's just a masterpiece. And it's the very first animated feature to appear in primetime on American network TV, so it's historically important. For me, it's one of the formulative works that made me want to learn to draw and tell stories. I can't even hope to be objective because I've seen it a thousand times but trust me, it's wonderful. If you've never had the pleasure of seeing The Point before or if you have, either way I can't wait to share it with you. And we'll be watching a mess of shorts too! All the best from this month's selections plus viewer suggestions and lord-knows-what-else. See you there tonight friends! Make a Point of it (grooooan)

Nilsson explained his inspiration for The Point!: "I was on acid and I looked at the trees and I realized that they all came to points, and the little branches came to points, and the houses came to point. I thought, 'Oh! Everything has a point, and if it doesn't, then there's no point to it.' "[4]

That's a fun idea, but we had already discussed it a bit and there were multiple requests for Film Noir February. Definitely some overlap there though. That's gonna be Saturday nights, wednesdays I'm thinking B-movie crime dramas. Noir is a really tricky definition so I wouldn't necessarily apply it wide enough to include the kind of dreck coupons & deals nite is about. But again, overlap. Thoughts and recommendations are, as always, welcome. But I think smokey offices and Venetian blind shadows are what the people demanded, so that's the present plan. |

Yeah, my one concern with film noir was that it would lack diversity, but there's already been some good suggestions to address that. I'll try to do the same with B-pictures. I will try to find The Big Sleep! I would really love to do Maltese Falcon, Double Indemnity and DOA as well, but we'll see what's available.

Tomorrow night! February 3rd at 4pm PST, 7pm EST, Midnight GMT, join us at http://psp-tv.com/r/BYOBmovies for the beginning of Film Noir month! We'll be watching the famous artsy American crime dramas of the late 30's, 40's and early 50's that have never left our cultural subconcious. On Saturdays that means the silky-smoothest cinematography ever, brilliant visual storytelling and timeless performances, but on Wednesdays that means one thing: PULP! Yes pulp, the media force that inspired noir and continued full-force all around it through the transition to something greater. Clumsy B-picture crime dramas with outlandish plots, cardboard characters and titles... well like this one! Tomorrow we'll be watching 1938's Gang Bullets!  Also known as The Crooked Way in the UK, Gang Bullets is an unremarkable B-picture, the foundation upon which Hollywood was built. For every fantastic code-era masterpiece there are a hundred of these, an ocean of monochrome suits and tortured plot twists, and what's remarkable isn't how different the two categories are, it's how much they have in common. It's very hard to pinpoint what exactly makes a Film Noir great vs just another reel of moldy old footage. But that's par for the course on the abstract arts, isn't it? In addition, for the month of Film Noir February we will be watching, in installments, another Republic Serial! This time it's the fourth (and best-reviewed) Dick Tracy outing, 1941's Dick Tracy vs Crime Inc.  I considered starting with the first Dick Tracy serial but we'll barely have time to watch all 15 of these this month watching 2 a night Saturdays AND Wednesdays, so we'll just skip to the last one (which has a bunch of footage reused from the first 3!) Now you may think that partnering Film Noir, the film nerds' favorite shade of cool, with cheesy old gangster movies is flippant, but I assure you it is an essential juxtaposition for us to make. The two things that you have to remember watching Noir are the popularity of salacious pre-code films (and pulp crime fiction during the late 20's/ early 30's, in general), and then the Hays' production code (of which here is a useful TV Tropes break-down), which from about 1933 changes the nature of making movies for decades. Noir is, essentially, the attempt to sneak pre-code crime stories past the production code using artistic abstraction. In every film we watch this month, you will be able to spot abstractions and concessions made specifically to adhere to the code, sometimes ridiculously, sometimes brilliantly. Often both. And we will, in time, get into one of the greatest debates in film-nerd history: can there be new noir, or is there only neonoir? I tend towards the former, the idea that noir is not a genre but actually a period of film, but the discussion is always a vibrant one and I look forward to it greatly. In the meantime, see you tomorrow night friends! The silver screen at its silveriest! BoldFrankensteinMir fucked around with this message at 22:02 on Feb 2, 2021
