[Slam_Bradley]

Officially in with 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea.

[Mermaid]

I dibs Wall E (which is Disney / Pixar ) does that count?



ooops....nope i don't. It's LIVE action. doh!

[Slam_Bradley]

I dibs Wall E (which is Disney / Pixar ) does that count?

In that it's animated...probably not.

[StoneGold]

Dibs on Condorman.

[Puma]

I dibs Wall E (which is Disney / Pixar ) does that count?

That is not live action.

[Puma]

Does Mary Poppins count as live action even though it has animated sequences? If so, dibs

I'll accept it.

[StoneGold]

Does Mary Poppins count as live action even though it has animated sequences? If so, dibs

For that matter, does Roger Rabbit?


Actually, Roger Rabbit might not count because it was released by Touchstone, not Disney. Can I get a ruling? Disney owned, or just released with the specific Disney/Buena Vista banner?

[Mermaid]

I dib Pirates of the Caribbean.

[Mermaid]

That is not live action.

yeah I edited. I'm an idiot - sue me

[Matt Algren]

Dibs on Flight of the Navigator.

I fucking loved that movie.

[DubipR]

I'm in with my favorite live action Disney film, Bedknobs and Broomsticks

[Mermaid]

I thought about that for the underwater scene. :wink:

Disney/Buena Vista banner.

Mainly looking for those old great ones from the 50s, 60s, and 70s.

[DubipR]

I thought about that for the underwater scene. :wink:

I was looking for good pics of the animated knights but most of them suck but found a couple more interesting ones

[Mermaid]

I'm trying to put together an animated avatar but I'm a complete 'tard at this. What program do you use?
Because I have 2 other pics I'd love to use to make this better

I use macromedia fireworks. If you send me the pics I can animate it for you.
Just tell me how fast or slow you want it to be

[StoneGold]

Disney/Buena Vista banner.

Mainly looking for those old great ones from the 50s, 60s, and 70s.

OK, so no Clerks or Pulp Fiction then, which were released by Miramax, which is owned by Disney. Got it.


Likewise, I'm assuming this doesn't count.

It's idiot-proof, online and free.

http://www.myspacegens.com/handler.php?gen=animatedimage

Pop in the graphics you want, say how far apart you want them, it does all the work, no downloading. It's how I made the costume one from last week. Doesn't do some of the wackier animation stuff, but really good if you just want more than one pic.

[Puma]

Correct.

Did that even get a theatrical release in the States?

[StoneGold]

Correct.

Did that even get a theatrical release in the States?

I don't think it got a theatrical release anywhere. I saw one of the only times it ever was shown on film to my knowledge, and a con in Los Angeles, got a poster for the movie that's been hanging in my bedroom since like 1990. But don't worry, I'm doing Condorman, I just wanted clarification.

[The Beast Of Yucca Flats]

Dibs on Honey, I Shrunk The Kids.

[K'Nort]

Oh I know exactly the kind of movie you mean.

I have to narrow it down between one of two based upon what an image search turns up.


Edit: And never mind. Just found something even better.

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/31zCzDRwBrL._SL500_AA280_.jpg

I just had an epiphany. Chris IS Sheldon. Don't touch his White Board!!

[DubipR]

Then again, Rally might've been dibbing the new remake with Duane Johnson.
Chris in the clear then.....

[Donald M.]

Dibs on the Scarecrow. Now if I can only find some pics.

Found a couple good ones, but you're capable of doing your own Google search so I'll butt out.

[thehod]

I'm in with Herbie.

I'm not your wife.

I tried to grow a beard once. Looked like a bad case of mange, but for a while there I thought I looked awesome.

Ah, to be 17 again.

[Rallura]

Thank you BB.

[Donald M.]

Thank you BB.

You call your husband Bouncing Boy?

Mostly in the bedroom, I bet! Nudge, nudge, know what I mean?

[Bouncing Boy]

I tried to grow a beard once. Looked like a bad case of mange, but for a while there I thought I looked awesome.

Yeah, I used to have that problem, when I was 10

[Paradox]

Chris Nowlin lets the days go by:

I'm not your wife.

Nor are you my house.

How did I get here?

[Paradox]

Donald M. looked:

Found a couple good ones, but you're capable of doing your own Google search so I'll butt out.

Yeah, I found what I was looking for. Wasn't sure what was out there, and was more worried about finding pics of the assistants than Scarecrow himself. :wink:

[Mermaid]

Everyone always tells me how envious they are of my naturally curly hair.

Sadly my facial hair grows out even curlier. Looks like pubes.

[Paradox]

When I was a kid, I first saw this movie on the Wonderful World of Disney and fell in love with Dr. Syn: The Scarecrow of Romney Marsh! A great movie, action packed and very super-hero like. And the coolest masks EVER! A tale of smugglers fighting the forces of the King as they avoid high taxes in 18th Century England. One of the few movies that grabbed me as a kid that holds up well for adult viewing, too. Patrick McGoohan starred and gave the Scarecrow a wonderfully creepy laugh. Neat sidekicks in Hellspite and The Curlew really rounded it out.

Plus one of the coolest theme songs of all time!

Scarecrow! Scarecrow!
The soldiers of the king feared his name. Scarecrow!

On the southern coast of England, there's a legend people tell,
Of days long ago when the great Scarecrow
would ride from the jaws of Hell
And laugh with a fiendish yell!

With his clothes all torn and tattered,
through the black of night he'd ride,
From the marsh to the coast like a demon ghost
He'd show his face then hide
And he'd laugh till he split his side!

So the king told all his soldiers, hang him high or hang him low,
But never return till the day I learn he's gone in flames below
Or you'll hang - with the great Scarecrow!

Scarecrow! Scarecrow!
The soldiers of the king feared his name.
Scarecrow! Scarecrow!
The country folk all loved him just the same. Scarecrow!

He would always help the farmer, when there was no gold to bring,
He'd find a way for the poor to pay the taxes of the king
Scarecrow! - every man would sing!

Scarecrow! Scarecrow!
The soldiers of the king feared his name.
Scarecrow! Scarecrow!
The country folk all loved him just the same.
Scarecrow! Scarecrow! Scarecrow!

And sorry I got there first, Stony, but them's the breaks. :tongue:

[Stony]

And sorry I got there first, Stony, but them's the breaks.
By only 4 minutes!!

I hate this stupid game :evilangry:

[Bouncing Boy]

You call your husband Bouncing Boy?

Mostly in the bedroom, I bet! Nudge, nudge, know what I mean?
Say no more, say no more.

[Bouncing Boy]

haha!! *imagines*
Are you sure you want to imagine that?

[Paradox]

Stony pouts:

By only 4 minutes!!

I hate this stupid game :evilangry:

You almost had it, too. I wasn't going to bother dibsing and just go looking for pics as I didn't think anyone else would take it. The "little birdie" in my head was right again! :evilsmile:

[Mermaid]

Are you sure you want to imagine that?

well I wasn't imagining your face so be safe in the knowledge i'd never recognize you

[Rallura]

If the avatar contest has taught me anything, it's always dibs.

[Mac Danny]

Dibs on Hot Lead and Cold Feet!

[DrewTheXenocide]

Undibsing.

[Typo Lad]

Dibs on Flight of the Navigator.

I fucking loved that movie.
Brother from another mother!

[Typo Lad]

Dibbs on The Parent Trap 1,2,3, and 4.

[Mermaid]

If the avatar contest has taught me anything, it's always dibs.

or Shotgun. One of 'ems gotta work.

[Michael P]

Brother from another mother!

I think that was the first sci-fi film I ever saw in theaters. I really loved the idea of my older brother somehow disappearing and coming back ten years later, still a little kid while I had grown up.

Dibbs on The Parent Trap 1,2,3, and 4.

It's sad that Hayley Mills's twin sister became such a recluse.

[Matt Algren]

Brother from another mother!
You know what's weird? It kind of holds up. It has the normal "Oh my god what the hell, The Eighties" problems, but the story's still darn good.

[Rallura]

or Shotgun. One of 'ems gotta work.

Dibs on shotgun!

[Mermaid]

Damnit!!!!

[Rallura]

Damnit!!!!


Dibs INFINITY!

[Mermaid]

Hell! I'm up against the Queen of Dibsies. Why do I not know these things until it's too late?

[Rallura]

Hell! I'm up against the Queen of Dibsies. Why do I not know these things until it's too late?

Because I dibsied these things years ago.

[Mermaid]

Because I dibsied these things years ago.

oh that doesn't count. There's rules to dibsies.

[Rallura]

oh that doesn't count. There's rules to dibsies.

It was dibs infinity.

[Paradox]

Michael P sniffles:

It's sad that Hayley Mills's twin sister became such a recluse.

Not nearly as sad as all the shit Linday Lohan's twin has been up to.

[Typo Lad]

I think that was the first sci-fi film I ever saw in theaters. I really loved the idea of my older brother somehow disappearing and coming back ten years later, still a little kid while I had grown up.

It's a pretty mind-blowing concept for a little kid.

It's sad that Hayley Mills's twin sister became such a recluse.

I think Hayley deserved being written out of "Good Morning Miss Bliss" for insisting they cast her twin as a "stunt double".

You know what's weird? It kind of holds up. It has the normal "Oh my god what the hell, The Eighties" problems, but the story's still darn good.

I'm now debating a movie night with the kid. She's just the right age.

True fact: The kid who played David now works in (http://bexschwartz.blogspot.com/2009/02/update-joey-cramer-found-at-last.html) a sporting goods store in his hometown.

[Mermaid]

It's the 10th for me today so i'm putting my vote in now.


Difficult to choose this week, I especially liked Slam's Whale av, Bouncing B's Mary Poppins and I really liked Rally's Pirates. Love me some pirate avatars!

I loved Michael P's Rocket Man imagery though. Very evocative. So my vote goes to Michael P

[The Beast Of Yucca Flats]

Bouncing Boy's got my vote.

[Puma]

No surprise, K'Nort

[Matt Algren]

Rallura .

[jessecuster3]

I think Hayley deserved being written out of "Good Morning Miss Bliss" for insisting they cast her twin as a "stunt double".



For the record, the best thing she ever did was pop out a son, who rocks.

[jessecuster3]

Oh yeah and my vote is for StarsandGarters.

[Bouncing Boy]

I have to vote for thehod. I'm surprised though that no one went with "The Shaggy Dog" (or it's sequel, "The Shaggy DA"), "The Absent Minded Professor" or "The Computer Wore Tennis Shoes"

[Mac Danny]

Donald M for some truly crazy film.

[Rallura]

Voting for Dubip.

[DubipR]

Slam Bradley and 20,000 Leagues Under the Sea

Hon Mentions to Michael P, thehod, and Rallura and her Dibsing Powers

[Slam_Bradley]

Treasure Island would have ensured my vote. But in lieu of that...Paradox.

[K'Nort]

I was hoping to see one of these:

The Beast of Yucca Flats

[Paradox]

Something Donald M. this way comes...

[MacQuarrie]

The Rocketeer is one of my favrit movies, so I vote Michael P.

If I had gotten off my ass and entered, I might have gone for The Barefoot Executive, Never a Dull Moment, or Blackbeard's Ghost.

[StarsAndGarters]

The Rocketeer is one of my favrit movies, so I vote Michael P.

I have to ditto that. Certainly a part of my childhood. I was the Rocketeer for Halloween one year.

[Chris N]

Matt Algren captures my childhood best.

[Donald M.]

Voting's still open?

I vote for K'nort

[Chris N]

Still Tuesday.

[Paradox]

For another 45 mins, anyway.

[Mermaid]

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.....no one liked mine.

[Mac Danny]

Anyone want to ad this up. I'm too lazy

[Mac Danny]

Looks like we have a tie between K'Nort and Michael P.

Next vote takes it.

[DubipR]

awwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww.....no one liked mine.

I liked yours but it wasn't random enough. You're still a peach!

I only counted 1 vote for you. It is no unpossible that I did not add right.

[MacQuarrie]

I have to ditto that. Certainly a part of my childhood. I was the Rocketeer for Halloween one year.
Me too! I still have the helmet (fiberglass, turned out okay) lying around somewhere.

[Matt Algren]

I only counted 1 vote for you. It is no unpossible that I did not add right.
No, I'm sayin, somebody vote!

[jdwrocks]

No, I'm sayin, somebody vote!
Michael P.

[Michael P]

Son of a bitch.

Gimme a bit, then. I promise I'll have it up while it's still Wednesday where I live.
