| Someone just reminded me of Murun Buchstansangur that microcosom of the thatcher era. And I checked to see if there was any way to buy the short films, around fifty were made, and found no DVDs or even VHS for sale.
It appears that Bevanfield Films had their film rights bought up in the 90s so Disney could make an animated series based on 'What-A-Mess'.
Compare and contrast Bevanfield Films intro - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Oe7uKhHj-kk - and the Disney ABC intro - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XGeJ6jDPE2U
Aside from the art differences... Original What-A-Mess, lives in a semi-detached in a city. Disney What-A-Mess, lives in somethng like a large mansion? Or is that the idealised Suburban Super-Home of 80s sitcom life? | | comments: 3 comments or Leave a comment |
| | Cute. In order to punish the EU for fining them over anti-competative monopoly abuse, Microsoft will not release an 'Upgrade' version of Windows 7 in the EU. They claim it's too hard to make an 'Upgrade Version' that obeys the EUs monopoly regulations. The only version on sale in the EU will be 'Windows 7-E' versions, and will require full price and a complete wipe and format of your computer. | | comments: 5 comments or Leave a comment |
| | My only problem with the new Monkey Island game so far is it breaks three of my cardinal rules of good Point and Click Adventure Games. But in ways that are tolerable, and more than made up for by being a really good actual Lucas Arts Adventure Game. | | comments: 4 comments or Leave a comment |
| As a long time patron of museums, research archives and libraries, this article disturbs me.
'"We do not have item-by-item control," said Archives spokeswoman Susan Cooper. "We can't. We have 9 billion documents. We don't know exactly what's in each of those boxes. There's no point in preserving materials that cannot be used."'
I can not comprehend how it is possible for an institution provided with the aim of producing archives and presidential libraries would intentionally forego cataloguing and indexing their contents. | | comments: 4 comments or Leave a comment |
