The Big Picture: Shlocktober 2012: Equinox

[bigfatcarp93]

ALL HAIL EMPEROR TYRANNUS!

OT: The effects in that film actually looked surprisingly good for a mid-60's fan film.

Bob, you should just drop the Shlocktober thing and make another weekly video series that's entirely about you talking about an old and bizarre movie every week.

Wow, I wish I could make it big on my college projects.

technically you still can
in the world of illustration and animation
its like more affordable basketball
even if your decent someone will pic you up and pay you to do something
you get better you do more stuff
hell someone saw something i did at college and commissioned me to do something for a magazine

True, except nobody watches the ones I put up on YouTube so the chances are extremely slim.

Proving once again that puppetry and stop motion are far superior to CGI. Even though those monsters were obviously fake, the still had a real physicality to them, more weighted, than anything done with CGI

I was actually involved in a heated debate about that earlier. I think CGFX are great for non living things but I prefer suits and makeup creatures etcetera.

Schlocktober is over already? I'm sad now.

 

[Mikkaddo]

just gonna put this out there Bob: you need to end EVERY episode with Emperor Tyrannus. I mean let's be honest . . . does it really get better than ending on a giant plasticine puppet of a T-Rex doing a cheesey evil cackling laugh in a dark cave?

just keep working at it, i know a dude who was a sculptor and now he is a storyboarder for a bunch of cartoon network shows. he was in he end of high school when i was a freshman,now he is in the workforce while i am in college.
so i suppose have some skills and be in the right place

I suppose it would help if I made more videos.

Ah, Equinox! I remember watching that film on TV in the 70s and early 80s!

MovieBob...do you remember Laser Blast?

 

[daxterx2005]

So this is the prequel to within the woods

 

[kburns10]

I for one welcome our evil T-Rex overlords. Also, I really want to see the original cut of Equinox. Sounds like the re-cut throws off the idea a bit.

 

[Strain42]

Bob, lemme throw something out here...

You spent 2 episodes discussing Hercules, 2 episodes discussing Sucker Punch, 2 episodes discussing Ms. Marvel, 2 episodes discussing The Flintstones, and 2 episodes about The Simpsons...

...Trust me when I say I don't think you'd be milking it at all to give us an extra episode just to cover more ground on Attack of the Super Monsters.

I think it's pretty clear from what I'm reading here that no one would mind.

I linked them to my Escapist profile, not that anyone looks there.

0:44 Cam Clarke! (the original Leonardo, Andrei Ulmeyda and somebody in the Metal Gear games I guess)

4:36 The dopey T-Rex from Caveman! (Or should I say, MACHA!)

Well that made my day.

 

[Pinkamena]

Emperor Tyrannax was absolutely hilarious XD
