New Wallace and Gromit Episodes Coming Online

chachi5000 noted that CNN is running a story about Aardman releasing Wallace and Gromit Shorts Online. There will be a dozen of the one minute clips featuring the awesome plasticine duo. Also bits about the feature film coming in (sigh) a few years. Anyone who hasn't seen the existing Wallace and Gromit trilogy is missing out.

    nick park's animations make me sick just thinking about the amount of tiny movements that he has to make for each second of animation (being in the uk, i guess he's got the advantage that it's 25 rather than 30, but it's still a lot). surely he'd be better off using a 3d modeller, and just animating key frames and then going back and filling in the bits where the key frame interpolation wasn't what he wanted. it's not like there's any advantage of making everything out of plastercine!

    it'd also mean no film grain and these online versions would compress better. oh well, maybe ardman are just technologically impaired ;)

    oh, and the secret to why they're successful is the stories; not the animation technique[1], as pixar have always pointed out.

    Please, chaps, I hardly know you! Perhaps you could at leasy take me out for drinks and vomiting before requesting such participation in homosexual orgies. Oh, Jeff, you're such a card! And Robby is a delightful little cocksucker! Oh, my!

    As for "cumming on mine," you're welcome to anytime!

    You know what, you JERKS? This isn't offtopic. Not anymore. Slashdot is a fucking BBS, more or less, not a news site, lets get that straight. And as a BBS, there should be a place to COMPLAIN about the SITE! But there isn't, is there? So the place has to be HERE! So get used to the trolling and crapflooding until the editors get their heads out of their asses, eh?

    I did not shit in your oven but.....

    Wow! I just took the most violent shit of my life! It even looks like the largest shit I ever took in one sitting!

    The shit consisted at first of a very gigantic piece of turd that was excruciating to pass and took several minutes. This was followed by a moderately sized shit that was easier to pass but was still painful. Then came at least 6 or 7 smaller turds, but still large compared to other shits I have taken.

    I was lucky to use a high-flow toilet because the first turd barely went down after a flush. The rest of the turds and the toilet paper each got a flush of their own. It should be noted that the second and third flushes barely went down, just like the first.

    The smell was difficult to handle, and needed a long and thorough spray of air freshener. I am considering purchasing a scented fragrance that will cleanse the air after each of my shits. This shit could have benefited greated with such an air freshener. The wipe was messy and used about half a roll. But it was cleaner than some of the other shits I have taken!

    My anus still hurts from passing massive amounts of excrement so I am sitting on a pillow resting on my left ass cheek. Through careful consideration I rate this turd a..... 10!!!

    Good-day to you sir and happy shitting!

    Man thats the funniest example of moderators being unable to steer that thing on the screen into that box over there --

    I actually lost bowel control.
