Elephants Dream
Elephants Dream is the story of two strange characters exploring a capricious and seemingly infinite machine. The elder, Proog, acts as a tour-guide and protector, happily showing off the sights and dangers of the machine to his initially curious but increasingly skeptical protege Emo. As their journey unfolds we discover signs that the machine is not all Proog thinks it is, and his guiding takes on a more desperate aspect. Elephants Dream is a story about communication and fiction, made purposefully open-ended as the world’s first 3D animated “Open movie”. The film itself is released under the Creative Commons license, along with the entirety of the production files used to make it (roughly 7 Gigabytes of data). The software used to make the movie is the free/open source animation suite Blender along with other open source software, thus allowing the movie to be remade, remixed and re-purposed with only a computer and the data on the DVD or download.

If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

We follow a young man named Nick, who is aided by his savvy friend Jeff in getting a date with the cut girl next door, named Kay. Of course, to modern eyes, this film seems completely ridiculous, but in 1951 times were much simpler and a "weenie roast" wasn't something people snickered over. Nick seems to be a socially immature, penny pinching teen who gets dressed by mom in the morning. His friend Jeff carries himself with supreme confidence and seems to realize that dating isn't a bunch of complex games. You'll laugh, you'll cry, you'll thank MST for being there the whole way.2'd mostly because the acting is truly laughable, the only person who seems to know how to act here is Jeff.

'What to Do On a Date' is a title to probably make you smile already. I can assure you, everything in it will bring a smile to your face as well. But it is not the smile a film wants. Here you do not smile because the guy actually gets the date with the girl he likes, the way it is supposed to be, but because it is so stupid.We see a shy teenager asking a girl on a date after his friend has persuaded him. The girl agrees and while they are on their first date (together with at least ten other friends) the guy wonders what the girl would like for a next date. Funny stuff. The acting in terrible films like this is quite hilarious as well. Although I rate it poorly, I had fun watching it. For the wrong reasons that is.

After shocking the world with the ground-breaking "Appreciating our Parents", director Ted Peshak returned with his most controversial work, "What to do on a Date". This film stunned audiences with it's brazen sexuality and the use of the word "Weenie". Impotent man-child Nick ignores social mores and takes nebbishy girl-toy Kate on a white-hot date organizing the local rummage sale. Dusty lamps, Cokes, and streamers lead to hot, hot lovin'. Peshak was ostrasized from the directing community for this brave, electrifying work which dared to combine fantasy and reality and pubescent yearning. He tried to curry the public's favor with more pedestrian efforts like "Improve your Personality" and "Good Table Manners", but nothing doing. "What to do on a Date" branded him a nonconformist, and Peshak died, alone and penniless, in a Hollywood dumpster (reviewer's speculation).

Man, if only I could have dated a hip, cool dude like that gawky teen! Think of the fun we miss these days... weenie roasts, bike rides, and tacking paper elephants to ceilings. This "how-to" film really sets the tone for squeaky clean fun. I just wish they'd made a sequel... "What To Do on Your Second Date"
