Mental graffiti [wk 9]

De animatiefilm Sita Sings the Blues van Nina Paley is nu in zijn geheel online te bekijken.


Sita is a goddess separated from her beloved Lord and husband Rama. Nina is an animator whose husband moves to India, then dumps her by e-mail. Three hilarious shadow puppets narrate both ancient tragedy and modern comedy in this beautifully animated interpretation of the Indian epic Ramayana. Set to the 1920’s jazz vocals of Annette Hanshaw, Sita Sings the Blues earns its tagline as “The Greatest Break-Up Story Ever Told.”




Sleep, you vermin.
Sleep, you scum.

en terrorisme. Het oorspronkelijke artikel bij de Times Online is
op mysterieuze wijze verdwenen, maar lees het bijvoorbeeld hier. Via BoingBoing.)
