'Serenity'
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.
His analysis of Brave shows just how much attention Pixar pays to details.
One of the cool things about this clip (aside from just the fact that Pixar has come up with a girl who kicks serious heinie) is that all of the guys who are doing it wrong are doing it wrong the right way; that is, they are making the actual mistakes that beginners and self-taught archers make. I see every one of these things on the range every single week.
Love it. I know damned little about archery, but the attention to detail reminds me of Ratatouille and how cooks were pointing out that everyone in the kitchen had scars and burns on their hands.
Oh man, now I kind of want to take archery. Those were awesome posts.
now I kind of want to take archery.
That was my reaction, too!
I took archery in high school PE. It was fun.
Then in college my asshole roommate (who was one of the best archers in WI) threatened me with his bow and arrow.
Maybe these three movies will remove that bad association with archery....
I got to go to camp one time as a kid. It was computer camp, no surprise. But we did do archery as an elective that week. It was much fun. I don't remember jack shit, except the boys weren't as good as they assumed they were going to be.
So, I would love to learn archery too, but i have an astigmatism that is not 100% corrected, so I always felt like I am poster girl for ARCHERY FAIL.
I haven't shot an arrow in years, but when I took the course in college I was consistently the third best archer behind the guy who bow-hunted for recreation and my shooting partner (who eventually became an optometrist).
I rocked both my quarters of archery class (and yet? still know fuckall, as stated above) but I mostly remember it for being the gym choice with the notorious stoner teacher and no nasty intra-girl politics (because there were no other girls).
Okay, I am now so excited about both Brave (which I was not anticipating) and am back to excited about Hunger Games, just on the strength of that post!
You should all try archery! It is super fun!
You should all come out to visit me, because my bow is superbly adjustable and I could make it work for all of you and you could all try!
