I Met The Walrus
Wolfie — July 6, 2008, 1:52 am
In 1969, a 14-year-old Beatle fanatic named Jerry Levitan, armed with a reel-to-reel tape deck, snuck into John Lennon’s hotel room in Toronto and convinced John to do an interview about peace. 38 years later, Jerry has produced a film about it. Using the original interview recording as the soundtrack, director Josh Raskin has woven a visual narrative which tenderly romances Lennon’s every word in a cascading flood of multipronged animation. Raskin marries the terrifyingly genius pen work of James Braithwaite with masterful digital illustration by Alex Kurina, resulting in a spell-binding vessel for Lennon’s boundless wit, and timeless message.

This is where we must agree to disagree, Wolfie. Can’t stand Lennon, I’m afraid.
Stopping by to say a brief thanks for your reasoned words over at Stef’s place; I’m sure you don’t agree with me and don’t mind if you do or don’t but good to have someone expose the ‘racist’ card.
All the best to you.
You’re quite welcome Daniel, it doesn’t matter whether we agree or not there was no necessity for anyone to be rude or impune your character. It is my experience that it is those who harbour such defects in their character who are the first to accuse.
James, this post is not a carte-blanche blandishment of the man’s character. He was an icon of my childhood who preached peace and love and then went home and beat his wife.
Fair comment, sir.
Agree with first commenter I’m afraid Wolfie. Lenon, peacy, lovey, total crappy dipstick. “Imagine”, pure drivel, apart from the lack of religion bit, entirely with him on that one.
I like your (rather occasional) stuff, very intelligent BUT, being senile and drunk most of the time, am always getting the spammy word wrong and losing my comments.
Which brings me to the main reason I am here, I note your anti-spammy thingy has REAL WORDS unlike any others I have seen. Are these random from some dictionary or do you choose them yourself? Just that I would like to know if you could put FONDLEMYBUM and similar.
We’re off and running, Wolfie. Will be back later to scrutinize the food post.
