Clay-mation torture!

Clay-mation torture!, originally uploaded by baratunde.



I'm on jetblue trying to take off at JFK airport. I have some Rudolph the red nosed reindeer special on



So this snow beast called a bumble kidnapped Rudolph and his family and this explorer dude and his son find them in a cave. The father ambushes the bumble and drops a boulder on his head



Then the CHILD uses pliers to rip the beast's teeth ! And they smile about it



Then they throw the bumble over a cliff (that's the image aftermath below) but the bumble survives so they enslave him and make him decorate the Christmas tree



What kind of jacked up lesson is this?

I had a similar experience re-watching "Annie," the musical from 1982. As a kid, I knew every song by heart and totally knew which orphan I'd be (Pepper - duh). But when I watched the movie recently as an adult, I realized this whole weird political undercurrent -- and Daddy Warbucks? HELLO: ARMS DEALER NEO-CON! It was creepy.

I shudder to think what would happen if I rewatched "Labrynth."

(ps: nice to meet you however briefly in Seattle today -- I'm the one with the pink braids)
