This cartoon is brought to you as part of the Remote Guest Blogging Program for WTF is it Now? Enjoy!



Red Hot Riding Hood

Terry Gilliam named this as one of the ten best animated films of all time. The Brothers Quay's "The Street Crocodiles is already on this blog.

Note to people on dial-up: I'm sorry, these things do load eventually, but they take their own sweet time.

The Street of Crocodiles

Here's how I discovered Bruno Schulz's writing.



Brothers Quay - Street of Crocodiles

I'm also addicted to youtube.com, so this is probably going to be my youtube blog because they have this cool code. Or maybe I'll use my myspace.com blog http://myspace.com/gingermayerson, hard to say just what I'll do.

This Brothers Quay short seems to me to have very little to do with the story, but it's wonderfully creepy. Here's my sonic collage of it: The Street of Crocodiles, scroll down for the link.

The Greatest Ever Tap Dance Filmed

The greatest tap scene ever filmed according to Fred Astaire. Featuring Fayard (1914-January 24, 2006) and Harold (1921-2000) Nicholas and Cab Calloway and his orchestra. Stormy Weather (1942). (via The Sideshow)

... gah. And I was impressed by the first Rogers/Astaire dance in "Swing Time."
