Mickey’s Grand Opera, 1936
Really great look at Windmill Studios. Miss being on set with these guys.

Appropriate that Catering and Producer are separated by one answer.

SILENT WEEK …Day 2
Scott is tugging at my Silent Film heart strings.
I’m digging the update Vimeo!
Today is a big day - one of the biggest in the short-ish history of our small-ish company. For the past year (37 years in Internet time), we’ve been working nonstop on a project that we’ve desperately wanted to tell you about. Because, frankly, it’s all about you. Our willpower muscles are pretty much at the breaking point right now, and so we are doubly ecstatic to finally let the tiger out of the satchel and make this officially official announcement: We built you a new Vimeo.
To learn more about these new big things in more detail, head over to vimeo.com/new. It’s also the place where members can sign up to try the new Vimeo as we roll it out over the next few weeks. Go ahead - you know you want to check it out!
All new Vimeo!
My reactions to some of the Oscar Noms:
Best Picture: Extremely Loud gets a nom, but Dragon Tattoo and Tinker Tailor do not? You remember you don’t have to nominate ten films right?
Best Supporting Actor: Hey look Jonah Hill!
Best Supporting Actor: Hey look Melissa McCarthy!
Best Animated Feature: So Rio got snubbed, which is a shame. Pixar is probably in shock that Dreamworks has two films nominated this year while they have none, sorry Cars 2. Meanwhile Tin Tin isn’t there either (I’ll just blame motion capture) nor is Winnie the Pooh, but foreign films A Cat in Paris and Chico & Rita being nominated are real surprises to me. This is Rango’s award to lose.
Best Animated Short Film: Agitated that neither of the brilliant Toy Story shorts from Pixar were nominated. Buzz Lightyear in counseling was one of the best things I saw in theaters this year.
Best Original Song: Two songs were nominated. TWO. One from The Muppets, the other from Rio. I’m rooting for The Muppets, but hoping for a tie. Can that happen?
Best Visual Effects: The Apes will get this.
Those are my knee jerk reactions to the list of nominates. My hope is that the Potter franchise gets some sort of honorary award for being consistently excellent throughout 8 films…. but I know that won’t happen.
