Evening Reading
by Jeff Mattas, Jan 13, 2011 5:00pm PSTI'm not exactly sure what triggered the impulse, but I've been revisiting the show 'Sifl and Olly' recently on ye ol' YouTubes.
For the uninitiated, 'Sifl and Olly' was a short-lived comedy show created by musicians Liam Lynch and Matt Crocco that aired on late-night MTV from 1997-'99. It bears the distinction of being one of the most-beloved pieces of original comedy programming the network ever aired, while also being one of the lowest-rated. Sadly, despite fan requests, it's unclear if series will ever see a re-release that isn't so rare that it immediately becomes ridiculously expensive.
On that note, have a crescentfresh chatty.
F.L.C.L (Fooly Cooly): Have you seen it, did you like it, was it amazing and insightful or just downright annoying?
For those of you unfamiliar with FLCL, just watch this. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o3b0A_KjihY
Behind all the giant robots growing out of the head of a boy run over by a vespa riding alien girl who fight's with a bass guitar, constantly switching animation styles and loud jrock soundtrack by The Pillows, it's really sort of an amazing coming of age story set in a small town with a giant factory that looks like an iron.
The entire show (only about 3 hours long) makes very little sense the first time through but it's immensely enjoyable. I'm not sure why, but I absolutely love it. it ends up feeling like a really great story told through what almost becomes a spoof of the whole anime genre and all it's associated craziness.
