The NZA Posted February 25, 2005 Share Posted February 25, 2005 [Don Hertzfeldt is one of the great abstract animators of our time, whatever that means, and runs Bitter Films, responsible for cult classics like "Rejected", "Billy's Ballon", "Ah, L'Amour" and others, which take on poignant social issues, ranging from angry ticks flying out of my nipples to anal bleeding. Though there havent been new ones in years, along with Strongbad's emails, i think its safe to say youre not reading the ineternet if you pass up on his comic strips "Temporary Anesthetics" I highly recommend "Bobby Neurotic" and the older one on presidential candidates, tho theyre all solid.

invisiblecola Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 INTRO: "In the spring of 1999, the Family Learning Channel comissioned animator Don Hertzfeldt to produce promotional segments for their network. The cartoons were completed in five weeks the Family Learning Channel rejected them all upon review, and they were never aired..." you must find this movie. it is called "rejected" or "rejected cartoons" by don hertzfeldt. i hope you enjoy it as much as i have. also you should download his movie called "billy's balloon."

The NZA Posted April 14, 2005 Author Share Posted April 14, 2005 Sorry IC, in the name of continuity, this thread ate yours. But all will agree, he's the tops. That link in my previous post is really worth following for more of his goodness, and there's torrents out for his other works too, "Ah, L'amour", "Genre", "Intermission", "Lily and Jim", etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
invisiblecola Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 np IC, that's the great thing about being new. i bring up things that are old and nobody really cares about anymore (and i put it in the wrong forum...wooh) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
endworld Posted April 14, 2005 Share Posted April 14, 2005 Sorry IC, in the name of continuity, this thread ate yours. Alright, straight up I dub you, ICo...er, sheiße, that doesn't work either. Two ICs!! I guess I can handle it. Anyway, Billy's Balloon to me was one of those things where you think, "Damn, why the hell didn't I ever think of that..." It was probably that seed planted in me that grew into a leaf-shaped mask, created solely because of my lack of original creativity. Or jealousy. "I wanna drink gooooat's bloooood." "But son, its ooonly Tuuuesday. !!!" Heh. God I metalheart that fellow. Didn't know he had'a strip! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thelogan Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 Man, Rejected and L'amour were viral videos before they even had a name. Before there was even a viable streaming infrastructure, just people downloading from peer-to-peer, but everyone saw that shit. Pretty damn impressive, and they remain some of my favorites.
