Walt Disney’s THE LEGEND OF SLEEPY HOLLOW?
Wow, that was anti-climactic, ha ha.
I could be anal about it and hold out till someone guesses “The Adventures of Ichabod & Mr. Toad” but I’ll concede. E-mail me, Dennis!
Nice guess, Dennis, and thank you, Joel, for bringing this back. I’m looking forward to it.
Is ‘Guess the Pic’ going to be in the main area here or up by itself in the header tab? Either way it’s great to have it back.
Before Dennis even posts his, I guess: THE BIG LEBOWSKI… no, Murnau’s NOSFERATU, no THE BIG LEBOWSKI, no…
How about this: If Dennis posts a color screencap I’ll guess THE BIG LEBOWSKI now, and NOSFERATU for a B + W one? Sound good? I think I already have this in the bad! lol
‘I already have this in the bad’ damn what’s wrong with me? should be ‘I already have this in the baG’.
my apologies, I’m going to bed.
Jamie, I didn’t know how to cross-post it, so I put up a separate page (under the “Guess the Pic” tab) and also a post on the main page. I made sure comments would go on the main page so that when I put up a new picture under the tab, any discussion would not be deleted. Although one did not really have the time to develop here, sadly. Sigh…
So Dennis, are you punting then? We can’t lose this feature again, now that we got it back!
Let me know if you’re going to submit; if it takes a few days and you need to get someone else to do it, that’s cool – it can wait obviously. Otherwise, I guess I’ll just take another shot at it. No Disneys this time, of course, ha ha…
I MUST BE A TOTAL ASSHOLE FOR A MOMENT-BUT…. And Sammy will voutch for me on this one time conceded statement: When it comes to Disney Animation I have EVERY frame committed to memory, I am the Lord and Master of this little corner of film expertise. I’ve studied Uncle Walt’s animated work to the point of night sweats. Allow me this one major horn blowing here but when it comes to these animated gems you just better clear the room when I show up….. LOLOLOL!!!!!!
LOLOLOL-JAMIE!!!!!!! That’s hysterical! But, seriously, as much as I’d like to play along, I don’t possess the technical capabilities to offer an image. I’m without a computer and I wouldn’t even know how to generate a screen-cap if I did. When it comes to computers or technology in general I’m even more useless than Sam. Whenever I need something done on the computer I usually have Sam request one from Allan or, like Schmulee, I sit down in the dungeon with the big guy screaming up the stairs those immortal words: LUCILLE-GET DOWN HERE IMMEDIATELY!!!!!! God, I don’t know what me an Schmulee would do without that women. If God ever created a all patient, loving and tolerating angel on earth it would be, most definately, Lucille Juliano.
Dennis, I responded to you above. Stupid thread messed me up…
JOEL-Thanks for the offer. However, I’m gonna pinch hit from a cubby here for the run and let the next batter up. If you wanna take it that’s fine or, as the winner, I’ll put my turn at bat on the shoulders of JAMIE, who gave me a good laugh with the LEBOWSKI/NOSFERATU comments. I have neither the time to get to an internet cafe of the patience to try and wrangle Sam, actually Lucille, to sift through the thousands of images I have in mind. So I pass to you or JAMIE! Thanx though, this was FUN!
Jamie it is – go for it! (Send me a screen-cap at the above e-mail address, Jamie, sooner the better as I’ll probably be away from a computer for most of the weekend/early next week).
ok, I just saw this I’ll pick a doozy… and email it to ya.
Fuck. I knew this, but beaten to the punch. And then beaten again. And again. One of my favorite cartoons, and the subject of possibly my best “Atheist’s Guide” (Don’t even bother clicking, Tony…):
http://www.brightlightsfilm.com/blog/2009/10/an-atheists-guide-to-the-legend-of-sleepy-hollow.html
I’ve read this and like it. How many of these ‘Atheist’s Guide’s have you done? I know I’ve read a Charlie Brown Christmas one and this one, are there others? If so link me up, I love when you talk about this subject (I know it’s near and dear to us both).
tony doesn’t like these? what a sour puss.
JON LANTHIER-LOL! I read that essay and I was fascinated by it. This might not be my favorite Disney film, but its got a uneasiness to it that really never shows itself in the same way with Walts later films. The narration by Bing Crosby is lilting and the chase for the bridge easily one of the best choreographed action sequences in a WD film.
