Welcome to Eltingville – better late than never
Welcome to Eltingville – better late than never
Apr 06Canadian fans of Evan Dorkin (or Americans who missed out the first time around), rejoice – some kind soul has posted the Welcome to Eltingville cartoon pilot to YouTube. The pilot was intended to become part of the Cartoon Network Adult Swim line-up, but sadly didn’t make it, which is a shame as I think it would have found an audience after a few more episodes.
As it happens, YouTube is nerd paradise, as you can also watch Patton Oswalt and Brian Posehn’s Super Nerd pilot for Comedy Central, Joss Whedon’s Buffy pilot (dusting vampires using a four frame transition!), and Pryde of the X-men (so… many… bad Marvel cartoons). And those are whole episodes of geek shows. The sheer volume of clips, opening credits, and commercials for shows from around the world, not to mention whole episodes of non-geek shows (unless your a geek FOR those shows) is stunning.
youtube is one of those things that could be revolutionary for nerds like us, the ones who previously haunted the vhs (then the dvd) bootleg tables at cons.
i just wish you could download the stuff from it–illegal as hell, but oh so sweet. google video sucks ass, but they do let you download video ipod compatible versions of most videos. that’s how I got the brokeback to the future trailer onto my ipod.
