What's with the silly film scratch filter?
I greatly enjoyed this short for the most part, but I thought the inclusion of the goofy "film scratch lines" filter all through it cheapened it a lot. Not only was it unconvincingly handled and felt phony and clearly post-added like if someone had ran the video through Windows Movie Maker to add the filter, but I don't get the point of trying to "vintage-ize" it since otherwise the animation style is the same generic Anime stuff we see in a lot of the DCAU releases, which screams 2010. It even has CGI touches! If the style had been a throwback to the aesthetics of 1970s cartoons, I could have understood it, but all its use here tells me is that someone loved Rodriguez-Tarantino's Grindhouse a bit too much.
