Perfect World
Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School has over 100 branches around the world
Dr. Sketchy's Anti-Art School, a festive figure-drawing jam session, now has over 100 branches around the world. Artist Molly Crabapple founded it in 2005 in a “dive bar in Brooklyn.”
From illegal flashmobs to the Museum of Modern Art, Dr. Sketchy's has brought artists a rule-breaking cocktail of dames, drinking and drawing. Whether you're an artstar or a scribbling newbie, Dr. Sketchy's is the perfect place to get your fill of life-drawing.”
Bob Self, founder of Dr. Sketchy's Los Angeles, says:
I am pleased to announce that there is now a hub for all Dr. Sketchy's branches worldwide. 100+ branches. 1 web site. Woo! Dr. Sketchy's presents amazing figure-drawing spectacles in 16 countries on five continents… all unified through the Anti-Art School's brand-spanking-new global web site. Find the branch nearest you, or learn how to start your own local branch. Don't make excuses… make art!
The only two continents without a Dr. Sketchy branch are Africa and Antarctica. If you live there, you are invited to start a branch!

Let me first say Adam has a right to his opinion and does not deserve to be attacked personally for having one. With that said, Adam set himself up for this. You cant gush on a movie like he did and not expect a backlash. Obviously its not perfect. There are parts and pieces and moments of it that are amazing to witness. But as a whole it lacks the emotional payoff that it promises. This is a flaw with the core of the story arc. we are not shown a reason for Scotts devotion to Ramona. Why would he fight to the death for her? Still dont kno. Because of this the end of the second act lacks any true danger as was said on the podcast and the third act cannot be as effective a redemption as the first act set it up to be.
In contrast, Return of the Jedi is a third act that had been set up brilliantly as the second act set up true danger and emotional peril for all involved. There are moments that live up to what empire did in terms of tying the emotional core of the characters to the plot and overall story arc. i.e. Throne room scenes, yoda's death. The problem is not that the Ewok celebration is lame or too “kiddy”. the problem is the rhyming scheme that mr lucas is so fond of in his films is non-existent in the end. Luke loses Yoda and Anakin. Leia loses no one, Han loses no one, The ewoks dont seem to lose anything, although I acknowledge some Ewoks were killed in battle. This is the greater crime of Star Wars. The battle on Endor should have ended in the ewok village where the village was blwon to pieces. Either Leia, Han or Lando should have died. Probably Han from what we are hearing. This way more would have been sacrificed and thus more would have been gained from victory.
obviously this is my opinion and like Adam I am opening my self up to internet attacks. But anyone who attacks without a proper argument will be ridiculed.
