Yeah, I posted it in that thread a year ago or so. My son and I went to see it at the local art institute, which shows foreign and indie flicks. We both enjoyed it a lot.

I don't have kids and I still thought that was a fun movie. I was impressed with the craftsmanship that went into its production as well. No CGI stuff, just actual miniatures and old school stop motion.

i was also pretty proud that he can read fast enough to follow the subtitles now.

a whole new world of nouvelle vague awaits!

has he also never seen any other movies, ever?

So he's actually playing a video game and they edited the screen, right?

Yeah the movie footage is totally tracked onto that TV screen in post.

I wonder what game he was playing?

i guess i didnt get the joke

Denver woman accused of punching, rubbing buttocks on $30 million Clyfford Still painting



A drunk Colorado woman punched an iconic $30 million painting and rubbed her bare buttocks on the artwork before collapsing in a heap and urinating on herself at a museum, the Denver Post reported.

Officials at the Clyfford Still Museum estimated that the vandal caused about $10,000 worth of damage to the painting, Still's abstract expressionist masterpiece, 1957-J-No. 2.

"It doesn't appear she urinated on the painting or that the urine damaged it, so she's not being charged with that," Denver District Attorney spokeswoman Lynn Kimbrough told the Post.

Authorities say Carmen Tisch, 36, of Denver, was plastered when she punched and slid her bare bum against the nearly 10-foot-tall, 13-foot wide painting at 3:30 p.m. Dec. 29.

Officers told the Post that the work was scratched, but museum officials wouldn't go into specifics about the damage.

Ivar Zeile, owner of Plus Gallery in Denver, said that even if the painting wasn't seriously damaged, its value would plummet simply because it came in contact with Tisch's tush.

"It does damage the piece, though, even people just knowing that happened," he said.

Tisch was charged with criminal mischief and was being held in Denver County jail in lieu of $20,000 bond.

Her rap sheet includes a bust for armed robbery last year and another for drunk driving in 2008.

The Still Museum opened on Nov. 18, seven years after Still's widow, Patricia, agreed to give the city hundreds of her late husband works, the Post said.

Clyfford Still was born in North Dakota in 1904 and was considered a master of abstract expressionism.

He died in 1980.

Is anyone else curious about the new Van Halen w/ DLR album coming out next month?

I was reading that Sammy said that it was all old stuff, from the archives and not actually new material. Who knows. Not gonna buy it, doubt I'll even listen.

That boat has sailed.

You know abstract expressionism never did much for me, but maybe this is exactly the response this painting was meant to elicit.

HOLY SHIT.

I can't believe I missed this. Amazing.

my son likes pingu a lot

if i let him watch that, it'd be the worst thing i did since telling him to get real close to the screen for "a really cool part" during the large marge scene in pee wee's big adventure

my older sister did that to me with the library ghost scene in ghostbusters.

lol. my kids like pingu as well. its pretty strange.

Yeah Pingu is pretty weird.

I vaguely remember one episode with a lot of farting.

if "i just peed my pants" was a facial expression, that's what he had

Netflix introduced me to Pingu. the kids also love it.

this has needed a visual aide, so here's the painting she rubbed her ass on

I think I'm on her side in this whole thing

Anyone who would pay $30 million needs the assrub.
