If it was official, I suspect they’d be full length episodes – YouTube does that for “real” people.

[Mr Flibble]

The N95 is sort of in the in-between. It?s not cheap though.

The N95 8GB isn’t cheap? It’s about 3 years old now! Surely they must be cheap…

IMO the N95s aren’t that good, the screen in particular is big but has tremendously low resolution.

[Mr Flibble]

You could quickly move the lenses back and forth past your good eye?

[Mr Flibble]

The best phone in the world is the G1.

Agreed. Much better than that iThing.

[Mr Flibble]

It seems to me that Dave don’t realise how important telling the fanbase is…

[Mr Flibble]

Bolt as well – not Pixar but Disney and 3D – brilliant film.

[Mr Flibble]

Toy Story 3D was brilliant, I suspect Up 3D will be just as excellent. Disney’s 3D artists are really quite good.

As to the short on Up, the short was on the digital print of Wall-E, so I assume it will be for Up too.

Toy Story, TS2, The Incredibles and Wall-E – all brilliant. The TS3 trail has disappeared unfortunately :(

[Mr Flibble]

Yeah, I?d been warned it was getting cut down from the 450 I actually wrote, but I?ve not seen the new version yet. Wouldn?t think I had to sift through a 40 minute interview for that, would you?

I’ve sent a link to the G&T e-mail address.

Wired people get tetchy if you mention the low words-images ratio, though ;-)

What, the editors do? Because, let’s face it, I’m a subscriber as much because I like the design of the magazine as the content. The other month’s “who is awake” info graphic was excellent.

BTW – UK version is much better than the US one, isn’t it? I just think it feels a little more coherent and structured.

[Mr Flibble]

It?s about LongBox, a new digital distribution platform for comics? apparently it?s been chopped down somewhat from its original length, but should still be in there! It?ll be in the ?Play? section.

Arrived today!

It’s half of p67 – so as it’s Wired, that’s about 10 words*.

I shall read tomorrow on the train to London.

*It’s about 200 really with a nice picture

[Mr Flibble]

The November issues of Wired UK and When Saturday Comes, both of which feature articles by a certain S. Patrick. In all good newsagents shortly!

Which article in Wired Mr Patrick? I’m a subscriber so I assume it’ll be through my door soon.

[Mr Flibble]

The Bugsy Malone one was brilliant.

[Mr Flibble]

I vote for Speed being his surname and Bexley being his middle name.

As to hyphens becoming extinct – Sabrina Mulholland-Jjones?

[Mr Flibble]

What’s this about me being Andrew’s penis?

[Mr Flibble]

I obviously cannot be a card carrying bread junkie without having tried it at least once.

Bread? In Yorkshire Pudding? You’ll be very disappointed.

[Mr Flibble]

I don?t mind being lied to if they?re entertaining lies – but that bored the ARSE off me.

But were you not bored like I was because you know how it was really done?

[Mr Flibble]

What a load of bollocks.

But lots of people seem to be believing it, so I guess that’s the great British public brainwashed for another day.

[Mr Flibble]

Being a little hoarse is better than being a little swine.

[Mr Flibble]

That was brilliant Danny – I echo Seb’s love of the Astronaut/Cosmonaut/God/Gandalf stuff :)

Play e-mailed me the other day to say the DVD was out soon…

[Mr Flibble]

Apart from showing support for the lying, hypocritical, racist fraud and charlatan that somehow managed to get himself elected to run the most densely-populated city in the world by virtue of the fact that people think he?s a funny buffoon on panel shows?

*applauds*

[Mr Flibble]

I posted that I thought there was only one of them. But that was all I posted.

[Mr Flibble]

Ever heard the phrase ?Methinks the lady doth protest too much??

Well, yes. I’ll shut up :)

[Mr Flibble]

As long as you don’t think it’s me any more.

[Mr Flibble]

Plus, previous experience has shown that if I wanted to say something like that, I would come out and say it under my own name, not hide behind a pseudonym other than the easily traceable and well known to be me Mr Flibble.

I don’t have more than one profile on this or any site I visit.

[Mr Flibble]

It’s not me, if that’s what you’re thinking, as someone in the comments evidently does.

I have better things to do.

[Mr Flibble]

Where’s the grave scene music from again? The Ace Rimmer “all these aces” planet ring sequence?

[Mr Flibble]

Definitely not Transformers or Terminator! Star Trek was pretty damn good, The Hangover is laugh out loud funny throughout. I was at the Harry Potter premi?re last night, and that was excellent as a film – although I’ve not read the books.

[Mr Flibble]

Please suggest some alternate lines rather than just a comment about how the ones you mentioned ?don?t work?, it would really be appreciated as I am very new to ?writing? anything?;)

Shall we eat your dinner for you too?

[Mr Flibble]

Or that no-one wants to buy Blu-ray.

[Mr Flibble]

Wow – sounds quite a mess, but I’m glad he’s fine!

Going about it with his usual positivity and geniality!

Now, the Mark III Prius is out in a few weeks…

[Mr Flibble]

At the end of the day, there was a lot of good work in the old DwarfWiki. So if we could at least get a dump of the database, that would be great…

[Mr Flibble]

What we should all be doing instead is staring at this picture for the rest of our natural lives.

It’s almost enough to make me watch the next series of Dr Who.

[Mr Flibble]

I do like “Iain Jump Fifteen”

[Mr Flibble]

It?s not Fox responsible for Futurama?s return – it?s Comedy Central.

It’s kind of Fox’s fault too, as they make shitloads from the DVD.

This is however, excellent news.

It is two seasons of 13 BTW.

[Mr Flibble]

The crew are attacked by Chloe Annett?s foaming twat.

Isn?t that a clich??

If you don’t use protection, nine months later there’ll be a son of clich?.

[Mr Flibble]

As important as Blade Runner may be, there are plenty of important films that people know of – possibly even know the storyline of – that wouldn’t help them enjoy a parody of it.

Things like The Godfather, Shawshank Redemption… how many people have actually seen Casablanca, or *all of* Singin’ in the Rain?

I could do a TV show where obscure scenes in one of those was parodied and I bet people wouldn’t have a clue. Yet they’re all good, “important” films.

But if you want to parody, you have to do so lightly (see the “It’s a Wonderful Life” stuff in BTL) rather than just do entire scenes no-one will remember.

Unless it’s a famous scene like OFAH’s falling chandelier or something.

(Sorry that’s not very well written)

[Mr Flibble]

It can still affect it. It’s still a jarring moment – as is the sped up Carbug montage, incidentally – that makes it not seem like Dwarf.

Wherever they are, it should still feel like Red Dwarf, even if it’s breaking the fourth wall or meta referencing.

[Mr Flibble]

Doug’s direction wasn’t exactly worthy of a BAFTA. With that lot you can put them in a room with a script and pretty much get BtE – they know the characters that well.

For example – that crane shot in Coronation Street – completely out of character for the show.

[Mr Flibble]

Hasn’t this been around for years?

[Mr Flibble]

I never saw Powerpuff Girls when it was on – if I had access to it now then I’m sure I’d love it.

Ed, Edd and Eddy had a certain charm – it was completely surreal for one thing, but IIRC it did rely a little too much on the same few gags.

[Mr Flibble]

Hmm. I thought I had a calendar reminder for this :(

[Mr Flibble]

Next: Fairly Odd Parents. A similar style of cartoon, but for Nickelodeon instead of Hannah-Barbera. Created by Butch Hartman, who also worked on Dexter as a writer and storyboard artist.

[Mr Flibble]

One of my favourite series ever. Labretto is a stunning piece of television.

I thought I’d seen pretty much all the Tartovsky ones, but I’ve never seen this one before…

I need to find the lightbulb one with (mostly) no speech (DiM) and the one with the forward/reverse machine Sdrawkcab :)

DVD release in the UK please! (It’s released in Australia, how can we import from there…?)

[Mr Flibble]

I used to be a big fan, not seen it for about 10 years though…

[Mr Flibble]

TBH, all the promotional stuff should be easy. It’s not like normal when they have to dig about a bit.

[Mr Flibble]

I had a total geek out on this a couple of weeks ago. I don’t think it’ll stand the test of time though. That’s probably why it was on in the morning – so you weren’t awake enough to see how bad it really was.

But go and read its Wikipedia page, it had some mildly interesting points.

Oh my yes.

That’s Futurama, not Bucky O’Hare.

[Mr Flibble]

I really must get round to watching this…

[Mr Flibble]

Liverpool has a tube too.

[Mr Flibble]

Agreed, as proved by some ?fan edits? the story even for the ?weaker? first ep was strong just lacked someone with the guts to chop and change it around.

Skills which any editor needs. Cause it’s basically their job description.

I’ve said this right since we saw Part 1 – it needs editing well. It’s poorly paced, needs a hell of a lot of tightening up. That evidently didn’t happen, and the show was much worse for it.
