One of the trademarks of Archaia’s plineof graphic novels was that all their books have been published in hardcover—a look that Boom! stuck with after acquiring the publisher. And the result was a series of gorgeous books, from Return of the Dapper Men to Cursed Pirate Girl. But sometimes a more affordable paperback edition is […]

Veteran Blue Sky director Carlos Saldanha (Rio, Ice Age: The Meltdown, Rio 2) is currently in negotiations to take over the direction of 20th Century Fox’s sci-fi picture Rust. The film’s original director, Joe Cornish, recently left the production for unspecified reasons.
The E.T.-esque film, based on a recent graphic novel by Royden Lepp, is described by the Wrap as the story of “a family of farmers struggling in the wake of a devastating world war [whose] lives are changed when Jet Jones, a young boy with a jetpack, crashes into their barn while being pursued by a giant decommissioned war robot.”
Saldanha has been with Blue Sky since its earliest features. He co-directed the studio’s first two films—Ice Age and Robots. As animation fans, we can only hope that this is a mid-life crisis of the kind experienced by Andrew Stanton and Rob Minkoff, and that Saldanha will return to animation after getting the live-action bug out of his system. Because, seriously, what sane person would give up the opportunity to direct Ice Age 6?

When I was young and played in the dirt with such resource and pluck. My friends all had tanks and planes, Dozers and Jeeps but me? OH NO I had a toy truck.
I liked being Hop-along Cassidy with six shooter in hand and shoot um up or being the banker with Monopoly money so grand yet there was something that always drew me back to that old pickup truck.
The houses and funny money were all but dust when monopoly became real but I held on to that toy truck though rust grated the steel.
I lost it some where along the way not from neglecting the tin but to a young friend it went and I think that kid played with rust till it was bright metal again.
Now I am old and had many a car, more likely a truck, but never one as fun as the one with witch I played in the muck.

One of the types of questions we get a lot in Ask MetaFilter is “what book should I read on XYZ topic?” It’s one of those questions that the hive mind is actually good at answering because it’s just brainstorming and list generation by a self-selected group of people, not the “do I need to get this wound looked at?” sort in which you really shoudl ask a doctor. So, someone on MetaFilter decided to organize these questions into a wiki page. MetaFilter has our own wiki where a lot of information that may not need its own home on the site can reside, and where users can contribute content directly. The page is called ReadMe and contains a categorized list of over 650 topics on what to read, linking directly to the Ask MetaFilter thread where the topic was discussed. There’s even a section about libraries. It still needs a bit of tweaking, but what an awesome resource and a good concrete example of the nifty aggregating effects of blogs, and the “anyone can build something” effects of wikis.
You said it, Laurel ... nice! :)
i'd say beauty actually increases.
and unless someone comes along with a blowtorch, the beauty lasts longer than any of us!
very nice sex words (hahaha honest to god, i meant to type 'six' words but look what came out!)
have a great saturday, ms. lo who i love
I hope the same is true of myself. lovely. wabi-sabi things.
Thanks...I love old, weathered pieces. They really speak to me.
KJ, the last 2 photos were taken in P'town :)
The top one was taken at a wonderful shop in Tiverton.
The weathered bench is great. I'd love seeing that on my front porch.
Your six words are the same for people too. I love to see where age takes us when we approach it with health and dignity. Not so much though when it show a life in someway sadly abused.
Well, heck, I got my Saturday morning off to a serious start didn't I?
Love it !!! Great beauty and composition in found "stuff". Very nice.
I agree! Love the pics. :)
Perfect six words.... and, as already said, they apply to so many objects - inanimate and animate... it would be a better world if more "weathered things" were indeed treasured.
Beautiful shots, dear Lo.
Love,
♥ Robin ♥
