I read the article. Picasso painted a much smaller version of this. A theater production artist copied the piece and enlarged it. Certainly a great technical feat but not by any means a Picasso painting -- it's a copy of a Picasso painting that Picasso thought was impressive and, thus, signed his name to.
I illustrated a children's book and the author and I can't get a measly five grand to have it printed. But this guy gets a grant to build a psychic computer??
(I know it's not really a "psychic computer." I'm just ranting.)
This does not look like Abe Lincoln to me. The facial structure is too different. Everyone else has mentioned the unlikelihood that photography was available at the time period this picture would have to have been taken.
This is false advertising because I already knew these 10 things. Ghostbusters is the greatest movie ever made.
Did you know that shaving cream was used to simulate marshmallow on the Ghostbusters after Stay-Puft is destroyed? Also, did you know that Bill Murray complained that Lorenzo Music didn't sound enough like him on the cartoon, and so he was replaced by Dave Coulier (of Full House fame)?
Neato, you are right. Larry was voiced by the great Lorenzo Music (also the original voice of Peter Venkman on The Real Ghostbusters, the greatest cartoon of all time).
Beavis and Butt-Head really had two sets of fans: the first group, which laughed at the two idiots' antics, and the second group, which recognized Beavis and Butt-Head as a caricature of the first group.
Mike Judge is a true genius at satire. He proved it with "Beavis and Butt-Head," "Office Space," and "Idiocracy." I welcome their return to the airwaves. Er, cable-waves.
When I was 24 and still in college (which I paid for myself), I became seriously ill one summer. I did not have health insurance. I sold some of my posessions, went to the doctor, paid what I could and financed the rest.
I recovered and paid medical bills for the next year or so, working part time and going to school.
I was able to do this. I cannot understand why somebody who is in pain cannot bring themselves to go to the doctor and work out a financing plan to pay the costs over time.
Yes, some healthcare is overpriced, but who are we to tell doctors what they can and cannot charge? The problem isn't the system. The problem is a sense of entitlement. You aren't entitled to health care. The only human right you have is the right to kill somebody before they kill you!
Okay guys. The bacon thing is done. I enjoy the taste of bacon but you've driven this thing into the ground. Let's move on to grits or pancakes or some other breakfast food.
For some reason, when the headline read "Trashy Star Wars Characters," I pictured Princess Leia standing outside a trailer in a tube top, beer in one hand and cigarette in the other...
I am an artit (okay, a cartoonist) from a family of artists, so I understand art, and I guess I understand his point.
What I do not understand is why he can't just use Legos for this? Is slicing sheets of plywood into 3/4 inch cubes, dyeing them, and gluing them together integral to the point he is trying to make? That seems wasteful and labor-intensive when there are already Legos on the shelf readily available.
My wife (who is in her 20s) likes the movies but readily admits they are terrible. It's kind of like me enjoying Godzilla movies.
She likes the books, too, sort of. She reads romance novels too. She is under no illusions about that stuff being "literature" but, hey, I read old comic books sometimes, so who am I to complain?
Kinda weird about middle aged women being obsessed with it though. And unlike Star Wars (which I am not a huge fan of), Twilight is just a romance story, with vampires. Star Wars is, like, SPACE OPERA, man.

Then ride your high horse someplace else.

Now, if it's my wife who is on life support... well she probably doesn't wanna know my answer!

Of course Olympic mascots have a tradition of being strange, unpopular, and generating a lot of unsold merchandise...
