I finally managed to post a video from youtube… exactly as I used to do in blogspot.
Still have no idea why it didn’t work at first… Gremlins, may be?
On another topic, I saw two days ago Bee Movie, and to be quite frank, I didn’t like it. The acting is OK, the technical part too. Unfortunately, this movies gets the crown for most biologically confusing movie ever. if there only was such an Oscar. Just checked, there isn’t. Too bad.
Really though, I can forgive the fact that within the hive bees are made to live in suburbs kind of housing, with swimming pool full of honey(!), cars and such… I can understand a metaphore when I see one.
I can forget picturing the hive itself as a factory, for the same reason…
I even enjoyed the suing action brought by the little guy to get back the honey ’stolen’ by the humans…
But… When the honey is pumped in and all bees get lazy and stop working, and pollinating, the whole world become grey and all plants die suddenly, as if pollination was some kind of magic the bees perform to keep everything in balance.
The absurdity is finally topped up by the dynamic duo going to the rescue of the world by using the few residual pollen grains (from roses, come out from GOD knows where) to repollinate indiscriminately any vegetable species they happen to come around… urgh!!!
I know I know it’s a kid cartoons, but so were “A bug’s life” and “Antz“. And they both were much better at painting insects’ life…
Frankly, I am disappointed by DreamWorks recent forays in the animation realm… Did they loose the magic touch after Shrek?
Yesterday instead, I awarded my own 8+ to Les Poupées russes, for its light hearted humour and very nice montage…
Tonight the lady is at work so may be I’ll blast “The Host“, or may be something else. who knows?
Enough. Gufo is off.
