December 21, 1937: Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs is released.
Disney’s Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs was the first full-length cel-animated feature film in history and a major landmark in animation history. Prior this film’s release, the Walt Disney Company had seen much success with its short films, which launched its character Mickey Mouse to popularity. In 1934 Disney began work on its most ambitious project yet - a feature length animated film. At the time of its production, Hollywood derisively referred to it as “Disney’s Folly” - the world’s first full color animated feature film cost $1.5 million to produce. But by the end of its run, the movie had grossed nearly $8 million internationally, making it the highest-grossing sound movie ever produced until Gone With the Wind. It also won its creator an Academy Honorary Award, which described the film as “a significant screen innovation which has charmed millions and pioneered a great new entertainment field”. This award was presented to Walt Disney by Shirley Temple in the form of one full-sized statuette and seven miniatures.

SIX WORD POEM (12/21/12)
The world
continues.
Is
that good? -
-
The world might end today, so I wrote this poem.
I wonder sometimes
All the time really
About how silly I am
To be here, damn.
I kid myself everyday.
Pretend.
Like its okay.
Like I’m doin fine.
Sure, I’ll have another glass of wine.
But really the world around me is falling.
And I hear my old self and dreams calling.
This is clearly not the right situation for me.
So someone else I must be.
Because if I am wrong.
Then I am not right.
And if I’m not right,
I just might kill myself.
Because my health is nothing to me anymore.
All I do is lay around.
Fuck getting sore.
I just get stoned and get stoned some more.
The End. -
“Anyone can lie. One need only have the requisite intention…to say something with the intention to deceive. Faking, by contrast, is an achievement. To fake things you have to take people in, yourself included. In an important sense, therefore, faking is not something that can be intended, even though it comes about through intentional actions. The liar can pretend to be shocked when his lies are exposed, but his pretence is merely a continuation of his lying strategy. The fake really is shocked when he is exposed, since he had created around himself a community of trust, of which he himself was a member. Understanding this phenomenon is, it seems to me, integral to understanding how a high culture works, and how it can become corrupted.” -
