Explains the Leunig, too.<br /><br />And since there's not too much going on here at the moment, I thought I'd post some more fun links. The address of <a href="http://blip.tv/OLPresents" rel="nofollow">this young lass's movie review website</a> was sent to me by someone good natured enough to humour my unnatural fascination with obscure and hilariously awful flicks. She has over a hundred vids on there, but these two are amongst the funniest (and funnest) I've seen.<br /><br /><a href="http://blip.tv/OLPresents/olp-the-mystical-adventures-of-billy-owens-6424756" rel="nofollow">The Mystical Adventures of Billy Owens</a><br /><a href="http://blip.tv/OLPresents/olp-billy-owens-and-the-secret-of-the-runes-6431172" rel="nofollow">Billy Owens and The Secret of The Runes</a><br /><br />I'm guessing Princess is probably in that age group of people who grew up with Harry Potter, so I was thinking either you or her or both of you might get a laugh out of them.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13506151.post-57814410863128641612013-02-17T22:04:52.777+11:002013-02-17T22:04:52.777+11:00I see.

Then I said not a half cry but a full cry (a la Full-Denko) which is a throwback reference to the Helen Demidenko scandal of the '90s (see most recent post for the Leunig cartoon which talks about full and semi denkos as states of alarm).<br /><br />Will check those links. Thanks Alex.

My first thought was of ...I still don't get it? My first thought was of the Guinean short film from the early 90s; but that seemed a bit too obscure. Then I put demi and denko together and guessed it was probably some European (descended?) author/film-maker I know nothing about.<br /><br />So, uh, was it?<br /><br />The "story by a kid" style of short films seems to be relatively popular at the moment. The most well known example I'm aware of is <a href="https://www.youtube.com/user/geekandsundry/search?query=written+by+a+kid" rel="nofollow">this web series on YouTube</a>. It's done pretty much just for laughs though. Nothing deeper going on.<br /><br />And for more "good stuff" have a skim through <a href="https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&gl=us&tbm=nws&q=one+billion+rising" rel="nofollow">some articles on the "One Billion Rising" demonstrations that happened recently</a> (assuming you haven't already).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13506151.post-1307999131445058142013-02-17T11:18:58.451+11:002013-02-17T11:18:58.451+11:00Ha you got it Mr E, I knew you would if anyone!

Maybe I missed something crucial, for as we all know, the Darville is in the detail.Mr Ehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09920080753047166402noreply@blogger.com
