Retrospective montage of the movies of 2008.

What’s the animated (rotoscoped?) flick in the montage?

Waltz with Bashir, an animated documentary which I thought was by far the best film of 2008. Rotoscope is only one of the types of animation it uses.

Posted before I believe, and it’s fake. It was done mostly with a remote controlled miniature.

That was pretty good up until the landing, when it looked very fake. Although I do think most stunt planes could just hover down, their engines are powerful enough to act like a helicopter. That is, if they can get out of the spin.

The Pop (nfsw) - a dark, gritty reinvention of Popeye in the style of Batman Begins (it is a parody). Or Popeye meets film noir, kinda of like Sin City but much better.

Ugh, that was terrible.

Found this through Wil Wheaton’s blog. The guy has a bunch more of them, none quite as awesome as this one, but they’re all pretty good.

Amazing parody of the NYT’s Weekender ads written and directed by Michael Showalter and starring Paul Rudd, Michael Ian Black, David Wain, and other NYC comedy folk.

I watched these over and over last night. A few others I liked were “bridge tomfoolery” and “a fistful of explosions”. I’m a sucker for that kind of stuff. :)
