To Infinity

Last night at the Egyptian Leslie Iwerks screened the Pixar Story, to Infinity and Beyond. I am so glad I went. I had seen it at San Diego Comic Con back in July. Hell I put on the event. But Comic Con is Comic Con and not much remains in the memory after that much stress. I needed to see it again.

It was kind of democratic, the guy at the door stopped Leslie and Roy Disney and would not let them in until they picked up their tickets at the box office.

The Hieroglyphs at the Egyptian are still faked. It always pisses me off a little looking at the mish mash of symbols thrown together without thought. Some unknown black bird setting on the symbol for gold and animal symbols looking into each other`s eyes.

Andreas Deja was setting behind me. The last surviving member of the Disney super song writing team, the Sherman Brothers, was setting in front of me. The animation obsessed were to the right and left of me.

Charles Solomon led a great Q & A. Only one question from the audience went on meaninglessly long and Leslie put a stop to that after being more polite that I would have been. I am going to be waiting for this one on DVD.
