[up][up] Apparently, he was going around spreading false rumors about Lindsay's sex life. In one of the podcasts, he said the hardest part of the shoot was "dodging a blowjob from Lindsay"

Lindsay all but said outright that he was sexually harassing her, spreading rumors about her, etc. She wrote a blog post in which she said what happened without naming names, but it's pretty obvious it was him.

And his videos really weren't very good. Just "angry guy cussing about video games", without, say, Angry Joe's energy. He was also really ungracious to the other hosts of Transmission Awesome.

Groovy.

She says on twitter she'll still be making videos when she feels 100% and I'm sure that'll include crossovers.

You can leave the site and still make videos for another site.

Well, yes, but she said she was moving on to other things as well.

I'm not entirely sure I see the logic behind leaving TGWTG if you're continuing to make videos, but whatever.

Maybe you'd be less disappointed if you stopped expecting things to be Carmen Sandiego movies.

TGWTG has requirements for output. If you want to keep doing videos, but don't have time or motivation to do it as a full-time job, then it's better to do it on your own site.

Plus she's been badly sick this year, so I'm guessing it's a good time for a fresh start.

[up]Isn't she also getting married? Also I loved Brad's narration.

About The Wild, this seems to be an unpopular opinion, but I like it a lot, yeah it's a very flawed movie, but it's funny and it really felt sincere when it came to the character's relationships. I remember back in the day it was compared to Madagascar a lot, and that's a shame because that might have made some people think that it was just a ripoff (IMO I think it's better than Madagascar if only because it doesn't rely so heavily on pop culture jokes).

I can't have you close, so I become a ghost and I watch you, I watch you.

I think Madagascar was the ripoff actually. It was one of the last releases Dreamworks did that could be directly linked to another studio's (usually Pixar's) movie.

What was it Chick said? "Disney, they ripped you off and they did it better. That's just sad."

I like The Wild better than Dinosaur. Because The Wild was kind of dull, but it was at least the source of the rip-off. Dinosaur, however, was the rip-off. Of another Disney movie. And a recent one, at that!

No, seriously though, Watching the Dinosaur trailer on the Tarzan VHS is like watching the first five minutes of Tarzan twice.

Oh, I thought Dinosaur was just made to cash in on the dinosaurs fad of the mid-90s. A few years too late, but whatever.

Dinosaur was also made to test their then new CGI department, The Secret Lab, which was closed immediately after the movie was released.

Well, obviously they had to close it, or else its secrets would be leaked out.

Or Yzma caught the animators in their and turned them into animals. Or is that the other Disney Secret Lab?

[up] That scene was actually a reference to The Secret Lab, apparently people at Disney thought the name was pretentious. And things didn't go any better for their second CGI department, Circle 7.

What's next? Touchstone? Live action?

The breadth of Disney’s live action films would make it a pretty massive undertaking. It’d probably be better to tackle a subgenre of Disney live action films, such as musicals. It does mean that some iconic touchstone films, such as Old Yeller and Freaky Friday, would be overlooked, but you have to limit yourself a bit when tackling something so large. Plus, a part of me is curious to see what Doug has to say about The Happiest Millionaire and Pete’s Dragon.

For 2013, he could move into Dreamworks-cember (which would STILL be a massive undertaking), or he could clump the films from Blue Sky, Sony Animation, and Illumination all in one.
