there's something about a preview pic covered in film festival laurels that really puts me off watching it

The fact that it looks like a typical vimeo animation also puts me off
Why does everything look the same on there? And they act so smug about it, like it matters.
Every year I despise animation more and more. Being part of it only makes me lower my head in shame. I think the internet and use of Flash have really been hammering the nails into the coffin.
Does anyone actually make anything worthwhile any more, or does it all have to have a coolness factor.
Miserable cunt aren't I?

I liked this one because the phone-in is an amazing thing that nobody could write (similar to the interviews for creature comforts)
without that, the animation wouldn't really stand out
(animation does have a pretentious element that I struggle with; nice technique / look means little when it's telling a non-story)

I don't know
I remember once I was at work on my way to site somewhere and had the radio on, radio 2 i think as I don't usually listen to it (might have been Jeremy Vine? Anyway a show where people called in and moaned about stuff), and there was a phone in about dentistry, and the usuals were phoning in about travelling to a different continent to get a NHS dentist, but one old boy rang in and in a very similar manner to the video above and rattled on about how he would pull his own teeth out with string and a slammed door and never needed a dentist. I swear it was one of the funniest things I've ever heard in my life. I would love to hear that again.

In Vimeo land we all have super fast fibre and connected at the click of a button. We drink artisan Pact coffee and hang out
But in the real world AKA 'knackered infrastructure" UK I get dial up speed on my so called broadband connection.
I clicked and nothing happened apart from endless buffering. Where are the Chinese when you need them to bail us out.
