5 to the rescue

This is this.

To be fair, Kubrick films are awesome.

thanks for 'not a f*ggy short film'. brilliant!

Sure, and since the simple principle of this site is entertainment, who are you two to decide what should or should not be rated high? I mean, if it wasn't rated in the high 4s (which baffles me also) would you enjoy it more? Sorry, I love the sites both of you guys make. I also know that only a small percentage really grasp them. Everyone else likes things like this, and honestly, there's nothing wrong with that. Why crusade against it if it's done well when there so many more sh*t shows on this site?

I am very aware that this is not totally original. I didn't create Daffy Duck, but I never claimed to. All I take credit for is putting this clip in the context of YTMND. That is where the originality lies. I didn't see you come up with this idea (excepting gr33nscr33n :P). Not to mention I know how to make a nice gif. It was tweaked tremendously after it was gotten from the clip. There were interlaced frames and many things wrong with it. That behind the scenes work is always overlooked by downvoters.

(lol i vowed never to get involved in comment battles like this, or go on rants....so much for that)

Hey guys. It's a website. On the internet. It isn't worth. Logging into alternate accounts. Just to fav and comment.

Kaizen: "YTMND is a site created for the purpose of furthering the creativity of its users." While entertainment may be a byproduct, this is about being not worthless: creating something. This isn't a "Typically shaped rock" collection, it's about MAKING things that HAVEN'T been seen. Finding things that have been seen? Keep it as your pet rock. I don't want to see it. "Why crusade against it"... I'm not crusading against it any more than you're crusading for it. We just shootin the sh*t.

Locked me old account because I was sick o' pink; eat sh*t <3

I doubt max tiled a picture of Sean Connery and looped the sound clip of him saying "You're the man now, dog." with grand designs of enlightening the masses and standing the art world on its ear. I really think that over time, the simple yet admirable intent of this website has been corrupted by people with oversized brains and tiny penises. This is all for the lol. By the way, I lol'd. Way to find something that fits so well within the context of ytmnd.

I understand where you're coming from Mikey, with only the lol in mind, but I'm thinking of a bigger picture. I do respect you for sticking up for yourself with a few paragraphs, so you get a proverbial thumbs up from me.

Rockwell? Yes, and I also adore Mark Twain. *eye roll* As someone who's taken a few art classes because I enjoy drawing, and want to learn to do so better (when I say "better", I mean more realistically, because to me, that's all that matters in art, and the proximity to realism = greater skill level = a better artist), all I can say is, I simply detest most of the other types of people I come upon in that environment. They all have some mystifying motivation behind doing unreasonable things and calling it

It's all just a buch of people who think they're smarter than everyone else looking up at the clouds in the sky and arguing with each other over what the "images" they see "mean", and I wouldn't be caught dead wasting my time with such a futile and misguided occupation. P.S. Jackson Pollock was an overrated hack.

Oh, but that attempt at somewhat of a personal attack on me through insinuating ignorance was cute.

" it's filth like you that degrade this site; you should put more effort into providing to the YTMND community in a proactive way" What are you talking about, if it werent for downvoters more sh*t like this would flood the top 15. I think thats providing a lot.

However this does beg the question: Why did Xalisae vote 4 on this site? Daffy Duck does not look at all like a real duck. The artists who drew him were seriously limited in their photorealistic artistic skills, and those are the only skills that matter in art, so this site should be a 2 at best if he's basing his votes only on the realism of the images. What a hypocrite.

orator, or read a book or article or some other detailed work.) As far the trouble you're having trying to reconcile my personal views and the content of this ytmnd, there are a few reasons. Firstly, animation has limitations put on it from the start, considering it's not just one image, but many. That's just naturally going to take away from the realism which will be able to be achieved, and I accept that, and judge accordingly. Secondly, Daffy Duck is hardly a serious artistic persuit. It's entertainment only. (This fact, for all intents and purposes, really does make your entire point moot, but I'll humor you.) Thirdly, this is a perfect example of what I said earlier, i.e., the imagery being supplemental to what is said outrightly. This is a comedic site, complete with all the information the creator has presented. It's comedy, and I laughed. And last, but certainly not least, I'm a woman. Sorry to disappoint you by not being some giggling imbecile. I understand your confusion.

"I strive to create with my hands exactly what my eyes see and nothing more." Find me an artist that says that, and I'll find you a candidate for depression.

actually exist.

I don't see what's so outrageous about feeling as though the objective of art should be the persuit of beauty.

Your first statement is completely untrue, considering that a large part of the reason I feel the way I do on this matter is my desire to be governed by logic. Building up rather than out makes perfect sense in a crowded city with limited area within to build. Science is actually my one true love...art is just somewhat of a mistress for me. I'd rather have a -real- job. As for your second statement...all I can say to that is simply, "Here's hoping for a revival."

"Art is just an after-hours joint for rich people." How I wish this wasn't true...I wish it was something for everyone, to be enjoyed by everyone. The fact that art as an institution seems to go out of its way to exclude what would appear to be the majority of people I find both frustrating and saddening. One can only imagine what would happen to this grand art "conversation" if everyone was allowed to partake. Maybe then I wouldn't be a solitary person screaming at the Empire State Building, so-to-speak.

i like this line of comments, it's empirical proof that there are ytmnd'ers who actually know how to think and debate intellectually...anyway, all i want to say is that i think art is relative. everyone obviously has their own personal definition of 'art.' in my opinion, in the most general terms, art is some product intended to stimulate mind and senses, made with some sort of human creativity. the more a person relates to or feels stimulated by the 'artwork' the more quality it possesses for them.

I know, and I was further using that analogy to help illustrate my point of view. But, in retrospect, this whole thing seems funny and rather useless, considering the entire ordeal can be summed up as follows: "Art should be ____." "Well, I disagree, and further more, you're stupid." You feel that art should be governed more by intellect as a dynamic and thinking creature, and I feel that intellect is better served elsewhere. As a matter of fact, that's the one piece of life that I feel shouldn't be, mostly because I see it as somewhat of a respite from being forced to apply intellect and deep thinking to every other issue in the world in my waking life. But I digress. Thank you for the lively debate, at the very least. You honestly cannot know how much I appreciate something like this.

Argument over.
