<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>First things first; <em>Clone Wars</em> isn't as bad as you've heard. It definitely benefited from low expectations as I kept waiting to hate it, but never did.</p>
<p>Don't get me wrong, there are Death Star sized problems with the movie. The  Ahsoka Tano character is abso-FN'-lutely annoying. She's like the demon spawn of Jake Lloyd and Scrappy-Doo. I can't stress enough how much I hated her. The other thing that really bothered me was how moronic the Droid Troopers were. Their main purpose seemed to be comic relief, so it was hard to take them seriously as villains. Plus, as comic relief goes, I've seen funnier war atrocities. </p>
<p>There are other characters that I'd been warned about, but weren't as bad as I'd feared. The baby Hutt (unfortunately called "Stinky") was lame for sure, but by no means was it "Jar Jar" lame. Rotta the Hutt also wasn't as bad as some reviewers have made him/it out to be. </p>
<p>The pace of the flick is good, and we do get some pretty cool Light Sabre duels. The animation, however, is way below Feature Film level. Compared to what Pixar puts out, this looked like BraveStarr. I'm not sure why Genndy Tartakovsky wasn't involved. His Clone Wars animated series kicked all sorts of ass yet, to the best of my knowledge, he wasn't involved with the film. </p>
<p>I think the main problem with the movie is that as far as interesting stories go, the Clone Wars have been exhausted. The flick aint all that bad, but it's definitely time to move on. Let Pixar produce a movie about Darth Vader hunting down the remaining Jedi and you'd get fandom excited. I have a feeling, however, that isn't gonna happen since the Clone Wars continue in a new animated series debuting this fall.</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><span style='text-align:center; display: block;'><object width='425' height='350'><param name='movie' value='http://www.youtube.com/v/EzUJk63Py9M'></param><param name='wmode' value='transparent'></param><embed src='http://www.youtube.com/v/EzUJk63Py9M&rel=0' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' width='425' height='350'></embed></object></span></p>
<p>Dwa lata temu zmontowałem teledysk z użyciem przygód największego wojownika na świecie, czyli Samuraja Jacka. Zrobiłem go wtedy w <a HREF="http://img168.imageshack.us/img168/8325/windowsmoviemakeres2.jpg">WMM</a> z myślą o jednoosobowej publiczności, przez co nie przywiązywałem większej wagi do wyglądu napisów końcowych, które wyglądają teraz trochę gay.</p>
<p><a HREF="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samurai_Jack">Jack</a> powstał dzięki geniuszowi Genndiego Tartakovskiego i tak naprawdę nie ma na imię Jack. Ma za to na koncie cztery sezony i cztery Emmy. Genndy także zapowiada od dawna pełnometrażowy film, ale niestety tylko na zapowiedziach się kończy.</p>
<p>Oprócz perfekcyjnego montażu, inteligentnego humoru i mądrych alegorycznych historii, najbardziej podoba mi się w Jacku jeden zabieg, który często zostaje niedoceniany przez innych. Otóż Jack wyjątkowo zręcznie wywinął się od problemu pokazywania w Cartoon Network zmasakrowanych ciał i rzezi, jaką po sobie pozostawia jego katana: wrogami samuraja są roboty, które tryskają czarną ropą, a zabite często wybuchają.</p>
<p>Kolejna kwestia, o której trzeba wspomnieć, to niezwykły duch symbolizmu. <a HREF="http://dedereporter.files.wordpress.com/2008/03/3arch.jpg">Wiele postaci</a> i elementów przyrody jest zaprojektowanych ascetycznie, tylko jakby naszkicowanych, ale wyrażajacych esencję ich bytu. Nawet gdy Jack idzie na młodzieżową imprezę techno, to grana muzyka jest kwintesencją narkotycznego rave'u.</p>
<p>No i te ciągłe <a HREF="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bTtGgfySeIY">popkulturowe odniesienia</a> ukryte prawie w każdym odcinku!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img src="http://www.edunigro.com.br/uia/imagens/samuraijack_01.jpg" alt="Samurai Jack" align="left" height="149" hspace="5" vspace="5" width="150" />Mais uma dica do <a href="http://www.smellycat.com.br" title="Smelly Cat" target="_blank">Smelly Cat</a>. Dessa vez o blog chama a atenção para o primeiro episódio da quarta temporada de Samurai Jack. Quando o desenho começou a ser veiculado no Brasil no Cartoon Network, me chamou a atenção principalmente pelos traços que o Genndy Tartakovsky utiliza em seus desenhos. Genndy, usa o mesmo estilo em seus outros desenhos: O Laboratório de Dexter, As Meninas Super Poderosas e ainda uma micro-série que se chamou "Star Wars: A Guerra dos Clones", que foram episódios de cinco minutos em média e foi co-produzida com a LucasFilm.</p>
<p>Voltando ao Samurai Jack, <a href="http://smellycat.com.br/2008/01/28/a-luta-do-seculo-samurai-vs-ninja/" title="Samaurai vs. Ninja" target="_blank">acesse este link</a>  e veja a luta entre ele e um ninja, que levou o nome de Shadow vs. Light.  Como o Smelly Cat diz, "a sequência das lutas, não os golpes apenas, mas a maneira como a história é contada, os enquadramentos, a forma como a “câmera” caminha na tela, os traços, o contraste entre cores. Uma verdadeira obra de arte e uma fonte rica para designers, animadores, ilustradores, cineastas, ou apenas, amantes da animação."</p>
<p>Imperdível!</p>

<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p align="justify">George Lucas, come annunciato nell'aprile del 2005 durante i festeggiamenti per il <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Star_Wars_Celebration" target="_blank" title="Star Wars Celebration III - Wikipedia">Star Wars Celebration III</a>, sta per <a href="http://img244.imageshack.us/img244/252/clonewarshx7.jpg" title="Clone Wars"><img src="http://img244.imageshack.us/img244/252/clonewarshx7.jpg" alt="Clone Wars" align="left" border="2" height="231" hspace="3" vspace="3" width="153" /></a>regalare a tutti i suoi fan <b>una nuova serie interamente dedicata alla famosa Guerra dei Cloni,</b> che quindi si va a frapporre tra il secondo e il terzo episodio della saga di Star Wars. A differenza della serie animata, che in Italia è stata trasmessa da Cartoon Network su SKY, questa nuova serie è <b>tutta realizzata in computer grafica</b>. <b>La storia dovrebbe riprendere interamente le vicende narrate nella serie animata</b>, ma <b>sviluppandola ulteriormente</b>, visto che, a differenza di quest'ultima (composta da 25 episodi in tre stagioni) dovrebbe comprendere <b>più di 100 puntate, di circa 22 minuti ciascuna</b>: quindi, molto più lunga della precedente versione. <b>Il direttore-supervisore della serie<span class="new"> è <a href="http://italian.imdb.com/name/nm1396048/" title="Dave Filoni - IMDB" target="_blank">Dave Filoni</a></span></b>, che già aveva lavorato su <i><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Avatar:_The_Last_Airbender" target="_blank" title="The Last Airbender">Avatar: The Last Airbender</a></i>.</p>
<p align="justify">Alcune <b>fulminee rivelazioni </b>da parte di Lucas dicono che:</p>
<ul>
<li>non ci sarà una focalizzazione esclusiva sulla storia di Anakin Skywalker (verrà dato peso anche ad altri personaggi, come le truppe dei cloni e altri minori, tra cui il maestro Jedi <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kit_Fisto" target="_blank" title="Kit Fisto">Kit Fisto</a>);</li>
<li>ci sarà un nuovo Padawan <a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Togruta#Togruta" target="_blank" title="Togruta -Popoli di Star Wars - Wikipedia">Togruta</a>, chiamato Asoka;</li>
<li>ci sarà una nuova apparizione di <a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Boba_Fett" title="Boba Fett - Wikipedia" target="_blank">Boba Fett</a>;</li>
<li>ogni pianeta della serie avrà un proprio tema musicale.</li>
</ul>
<p align="justify">Come potete vedere dal trailer, <b>la realizzazione dei modelli 3D non è particolarmente sofisticata</b>, un pò come successe con la serie animata del 2003 (la cui realizzazione grafica venne affidata a <a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Genndy_Tartakovsky" title="Genndy Tartakovsky">Genndy Tartakovsky</a>, creatore della<a href="http://img144.imageshack.us/img144/3659/20070309bgwy1.jpg" title="Yoda 3D"><img src="http://img144.imageshack.us/img144/3659/20070309bgwy1.jpg" alt="Yoda 3D" align="right" border="2" height="125" hspace="3" vspace="3" width="197" /></a> serie vincitrice di un Emmy, <i><a href="http://it.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samurai_Jack" title="Samurai Jack">Samurai Jack</a></i>): ovviamente, questo non vuol dire che sia poco curata! Si può affermare che il tutto sembra rispondere ad una <b>scelta di stile degli autori</b>, che in ogni caso <b>riescono a regalare scene di azione degne di questo nome!</b> Basta vedere il video per rendersene conto! La versione in definizione più alta è disponibile sul sito ufficiale di Star Wars, a <a href="http://www.starwars.com/video/view/000478.html" title="Trailer HD">questo indirizzo</a>.</p>
<p align="justify">Ancora non si sa nulla della data ufficiale di uscita. Sembra che Lucas abbia scelto la TV come media per trasmettere la sua serie, e pare che dovrebbe essere mandata in onda alla <b>fine del 2008</b>. Alcune voci di corridorio di agosto 2007 davano per possibile una trasmissione unica al cinema, ma successivamente sono state smentite in occasione della <i>Hasbro Stock Sharer's Conference</i>. Chissà quando potremo vederla qui in Italia!</p>

<p align="center"><i>© by </i><a href="http://www.cartoonnetwork.com/tv_shows/ap/gtartakovsky.html" title="http://www.cartoonnetwork.com/tv_shows/ap/gtartakovsky.html" target="_blank">Genndy Tartakovsky</a></p>
<blockquote>
<p align="left">"Lass das Blut Deiner Feinde an Deiner Klinge kleben und Friede wird sein." - Weisheit eines buddistischen Samurai-Kriegsmönchs</p>
</blockquote>
<p align="left">Der legendäre Held Samurai Jack wurde von dem grausamen Dämon Aku in die Zukunft verbannt. Dort, fern der Heimat und getrennt von seiner Familie streift er seitdem umher und sucht nach einer Möglichkeit, zurück in seine Zeit zu reisen. Natürlich möchte Jack sich auch an seinem diabolischen Erzfeind Aku rächen und erledigt dabei eine Reihe der fiesen Vasallen des Dämons. Dies ist grob zusammengefasst die Handlung der Zeichentrick-Serie <a href="http://www.tv.com/samurai-jack/show/3064/episode_listings.html" title="http://www.tv.com/samurai-jack/show/3064/episode_listings.html" target="_blank">"SAMURAI JACK" (2000 - 2004)</a> des russischstämmigen Animators und Regisseurs Genndy Tartakovsky.</p>
<p align="left">In Deutschland ist diese Serie bisher leider nur <a href="http://www.xach.com/nerd-name/" title="http://www.xach.com/nerd-name/" target="_blank">Nerds</a> bekannt. Doch die Ursache hierfür ist wohl kaum "SAMURAI JACK" selbst, sondern die Tatsache, dass sie hierzulande noch gar nicht erschienen ist. Eine Schande! Denn sowohl in künstlerischer Hinsicht wie auch unter inhaltlichen Gesichtspunkten ist Tartakovskys Werk mehr als nur einen Blick wert. Der schlicht gehaltene Zeichenstil verbindet charmant den Look japanischer Animes mit westlichen Sehgewohnheiten und bietet trotz oder gerade wegen der z. T. kompromisslosen Action viel Raum für Komik.</p>
<p align="left">Typisch für "SAMURAI JACK" ist das häufige Zitieren bekannter Genregrößen wie <a href="http://www.g-wie-gorilla.de/content/view/81/11/" title="http://www.g-wie-gorilla.de/content/view/81/11/" target="_blank">Frank Millers "300"</a> oder <a href="http://www.filmevona-z.de/filmsuche.cfm?wert=49236&#38;sucheNach=titel&#38;CT=1" title="http://www.filmevona-z.de/filmsuche.cfm?wert=49236&#38;sucheNach=titel&#38;CT=1" target="_blank">Tsui Harks "A Chinese Ghost Story"</a>. Dabei begnügt sich Tartakovsky jedoch glücklicherweise nicht mit dem bloßen und einfallslosen Nacherzählen seiner berühmten Vorbilder, sondern übernimmt nur zentrale Versatzstücke und mixt sie zu neuen, schmackhaften Entertainment-Cocktails zusammen.</p>
<p align="left">Das Ergebnis dieser Arbeit und anderer Arbeiten ("<a href="http://www.cartoonnetwork.com/tv_shows/dexter/index.html" title="http://www.cartoonnetwork.com/tv_shows/dexter/index.html" target="_blank">Dexters Lab</a>")hat nicht nur mich überzeugt (was ja eigentlich schon Lob genug ist ;) ), sondern auch <a href="http://www.indianajones.com/" title="http://www.indianajones.com/" target="_blank">George Lucas</a> dazu bewogen, Genndy Tartakovsky mit der Umsetzung der animierten <a href="http://www.starwars-union.de/index.php?id=clonewars" title="http://www.starwars-union.de/index.php?id=clonewars" target="_blank">Star-Wars-Serie "Clone Wars"</a> zu beauftragen. Bei so viel Ehren müsste es darum also nur eine Frage der Zeit sein, bis endlich Samurai Jack auch in Doitsu  sein Schwert gegen das Böse von morgen schwingt. Sayonara Aku!</p>
