The Great Houndini
Hello, movie fans, welcome to another week at the Comfy Chair Cinema.
This week's movie was a lot of fun to make. It incorporates our largest cast ever, the idea came to us Friday around 11 pm, and moviemaking lasted all night long. We at the Comfy Chair finally went to bed at 6:30 Saturday morning.
Ahhh, nothing like a night shoot.
Our feature stars the one and only, the kind, the genteel, the handsome - Huckleberry Hound.
Please, have a snack from the lobby (sold at a nominal fee, and please don't think we at the Comfy Chair Cinema are not aware that some of you are bringing in your own food from home), grab your comfiest seat, and enjoy "The Great Houndini."

Sherman's Garden
Greetings, moviegoers, and welcome to a new week at the Comfy Chair Cinema.
Sherman's such a happy boy. That's why he's a joy to cast in film roles. He's also an expert gardener, so what better way to spend a summer afternoon than romping around the yard with Sherman.
In "Sherman's Garden," our boy takes us through the growing process, helped along by, well, by a voice you might not expect.
Grab your refreshments (sold in the lobby at a nominal fee), get comfy (after all, that's a requirement at the Comfy Chair Cinema), and watch "Sherman's Garden."

Dog and Boy Stomp
Hello, movie people, welcome to another week's feature at the Comfy Chair Cinema.
They've each starred separately in movies, but today is Father's Day, and what could be more appropriate here at the cinema than to feature everyone's favorite father and son team, Mr Peabody and his boy Sherman, together in a film? Nothing could be more appropriate, and that's why this week's feature is "Dog and Boy Stomp," in which our dynamic duo dance their pants off. Actually, that's a bit of a lie. Peabody never had pants, and Sherman's will stay attached the whole time.
Enjoy, nevertheless.

The New Boarder
Hello, film fanatics, and welcome to yet another week at the Comfy Chair Cinema.
We here at the Comfy Chair Cinema aren't trying to toot our own horn, but we would like to announce that this week we have produced a Big Fat Fucking Epic. Six hours in the making and coming in at a whopping four minutes-plus long. And under budget, which turned out to be $4.00.
For those of you who checked tonight's Betland blog, you realize there is yet another new boarder at the Poderosa. And he was kind enough to make light of his rather lofty reputation and star in a movie. Which, you know, is a pretty mean feat seeing as how he's only been at the Poderosa a few days and is still getting settled in.
That's the kind of can-do spirit that fills the Poderosa, and thus the Comfy Chair Cinema as well. Everyone wants to get into the act!
By the way, the "narration" in this week's film is in fact a little nod of appreciation to the video for the song used in the movie.
So please, everyone pick up a refreshment in the lobby (sold at a nominal fee) and get comfy for "The New Boarder."
As a disclaimer, we here at the Comfy Chair would like to stress that our floors aren't nearly as filthy as they appear on film. They just don't photograph well. Really. I mean it. OK?

Special Double Feature!!
Kisses Regiment (the prototype)
Hello, movie folks. And welcome to another week at the Comfy Chair Cinema.
Tonight we have a special double feature for you. See, a few weeks ago, heady with my "Whooosh" attempt at stop-motion photography, I attempted my second feature which I called "Kisses Regiment." See, I don't think it's a secret to any of you I'm a big fan of marching bands, and I wanted to do something of a marching formation. I decided to go with the bane of every soul who's ever marched in a band, the Parade Turn.
Turned out to be the bane of a beginning stop-motioner, too.
So I chalked it up to Try #2, and left it in the file. But since it was the fetus of an idea that became this week's bouncing baby feature, I thought as a little treat, I'd give you a look at the original Kisses Regiment

It's my third-ever attempt at stop-motion photography. And it might have been really good if I hadn't had to stop midway through to change camera batteries. Dammit.
Anyway, this is what grew from the above germ of an idea, and it contains a little nod of appreciation to the Ohio State Marching Band.
Enjoy
