Awards: Bibi is nominated in the '08 Bloggies
As I understand it there are quite a lot of Weblog Awards held and probably The Bloggies are one of the biggest. I'm not sure. Anyway, it is time for The 8th Annual Weblog Awards - the 2008 Bloggies. I don't really read a lot of blogs so I don't really care. However, I just had to vote for my favorite Bibi's Box which is nominated in the Best Latin American Weblog section. If I didn't vote Bibi would hate me and stick needles in her voodoo doll. Maybe you had better vote too?!
Blogger: Hey! I've got a cloud!
Do you also think that the list of labels that Blogger offers is boring? And have you also jealously been admiring some of those neat tag clouds out there? Do you also consider yourself as, more or less, ignorant when it comes to changing codes to make your blog look nice? Don't worry. I managed to create a tag cloud and so can you. Just take some time (maybe an hour or so), copy your blog code for backup and follow the instructions carefully.
Oh and yes, I will place the cloud at the bottom of the blog as soon as I have shown it off a bit (it's there now) ;)
Thanks to Bibi for boosting my confidence!

Animation & Nostalgia: The Tooth Trolls
This film is nostalgia for me even though it was made all the way back in 1954. Karius og Baktus (Karius och Baktus, Karius and Bactus e t c) is a Norwegian film by Ivo Caprino made with the pedagogical purpose of getting kids to brush their teeth properly. It features two irritating "tooth trolls" nesting in some kids teeth.
In the 70s they made us watch it in school several times and I know I thought it was kind of grim. Of course we preferred watching it to having regular classes. As if the film wasn't enough I was given the book, probably by my Norwegian godparents. Was it because I had bad personal hygiene? I would like to think not.
Click here or on the image to get to Bibi's excellent video blog Videos With Bibi (updated daily!!) and her equally excellent post called Ivo Caprino Short Stop Motion Animations I, where you'll find Karius and Bactus and four more films by Ivo Caprino.
By the way, if you like stop motion movies and you happen to stumble upon a movie called Flåklypa Grand Prix (Pinchcliffe Grand Prix) you should watch it. This is Ivo Caprino's masterpiece from 1975; also great nostalgia for me.
Update: Ivo Caprino Short Stop Motion Animations II

Link Dump: Film Noir, Kapow!!, Russian Posters & Stewardesses
Josephzohn presents a couple of nice film noir links. First check out a site about French posters for American film noir and then click for a blog about film noir suitably called "Noir of the Week" and its archive.
Bibi comes up with this suggestion: "Museum of Russian Posters". It is more or less a repost at Martin Klasch - in June we publishes a post for this Flickr set containing all (?) of the posters from the mentioned site - so if you'd rather watch it at Flickr...
Mr Dante wants us to look at some cool screenshots from Batman: The Movie (1966).WHAP! KAPOW! THWACK!
Kane (The World Of...) has served us with a number of cool posts the last couple of weeks. He pays attention to designers, photographers, illustrators etc: Irving Harper. Alvin Lustig. Paul Rand. Frank Habicht. He also takes us on a trip with airline stewardesses, airline design and identity and Braniff ads.

Blog: Videos with Bibi
Now it is official - Bibi has started a video blog obviously called Videos with Bibi! For many of us it is no secret that Bibi of Bibi's Box has uploaded loads of films to Google Video. We are talking classic quality film, classic cult movies, historic silent films, old cartoons, artsy experimental shorts and films that quite simply are in public domain. So far, on the blog, we can watch for example: Kurosawa's Rashomon, Eisenstein's Battleship Potemkin, Fritz Lang's M, Murnau's Nosferatu, Wiene's The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari and The man Who Knew to Much by Hitchcock. How's that for a lesson in cinematographic history? It doesn't stop there. We get to watch animated Gulliver's Travels by Dave Fleisher, early 20th century funny trick filming, semi-documentary German films from the 20s and WWII stories by John Ford and John Huston. And more. You can't expect me to tell you everything, can you? Look for yourself!
