[edit] Sounds
I always was under the impression that it was not a vacuum cleaner in the "my spoon is too big" skit, but rather a blender. A blender would seem to fit the food theme of the skit more. Perhaps someone with the DVD can chime in if this is mentioned anywhere in the commentary?
- It's not mentioned in the commentary (which is pretty hilariously awful), but it sounds more like a hair dryer to me. Slicing 22:12, 14 August 2005 (UTC)
- Hair dryers have a higher sound.
No, it's a vacuum cleaner. (I have the Bitter Films DVD.)--71.35.158.73 00:21, 3 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] The main characters are...
Why did someone previously change all occurances of "Puffball" to "Fishstick" under "My Anus is Bleeding"? Is it because they're seen in the Fishsticks ad? If so, that doesn't mean they're fishsticks. Fishsticks do not even look like puffballs.
- I don't know; they're definitely not fish sticks. See [1] (search for "fluffy" or "lamb") and [2] and [3] for Don Hertzfeldt's description of them. For that matter, I'm not sure why the people are referred to as "Balloon Figure #1" and "Balloon Figure #2" either. Slicing 04:45, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
- Yeah, my bad - sorry. Last time I checked the conventional wisdom was that they were fishsticks. Thanks for those links. I reverted again back to puffballs, as "fluffy lamb thing" is a little wordy. Kjl 06:39, 24 August 2005 (UTC)
I always thought they were clouds. Bertus 14:05, 5 September 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Notable Moments
Is this sectionr eally necessary? The movie is only 10 minutes long, and the only people who will enjoy these references are the individuals who have seen the film. DO we really need a list of quotes in this article? I think it would be a lot tidier without it. Shaggorama 19:03, 15 November 2005 (UTC)
- Well, considering that most of the "Notable Moments" are also described in the synopsis, I think we should just delete the entire section. Slicing 05:17, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
- As the one who created that section, I regretfully have to agree. I created it thinking it would be valuable to give the reader who hasn't seen the film the "flavor" of it via a few well-chosen quotes. What I wish I had foreseen is how many people would come across the article and say "I wish I had something to contribute to this article! Why, I know! I can add yet another scene from the movie!" There's no reason to think the transcription creep will ever die off. -- Antaeus Feldspar 23:21, 17 November 2005 (UTC)
- I removed the section. Slicing 01:46, 4 December 2005 (UTC)

I just removed a newly added and poorly organized "Quotes" section because I can see it becoming just as bad as the old "Notable moments" section(basically a script for the entire short). If you want it added again perhaps you could propose an organized alternative(although I'm not sure that's possible with the whole script lending itself to strange/random quotes and scenes).

[edit] A "wow!" to the editors of this article
I was passing through and read the synopsis for Rejected. I must say, that was one excellently written piece of work! A good work to all the editors to contributed to the final product! (Though in theory, the work is never done...) Kareeser|Talk! 04:12, 10 February 2006 (UTC)
Though the first scene contains non sequitor I think it may be worth mentioning in the article that it starts with the semblance of accordance with the "Family Learning Channel" idea. The first character teaches us that his spoon is too big, the second identifies himself as a banana. Though it seems random it does fit the bill in a somewhat deranged way.

[edit] "my anus is bleeding"

[edit] oscars
This isn't all that relevant as to improving the article. All I have to say is this: I really, really want to know what still or clip they played of Rejected at the Oscars. 66.41.66.213 06:15, 19 May 2006 (UTC)
I think they played the spoon/banana scene if memory serves :)
[edit] Video
- Where can I watch this? Are there any legal free versions on the internet? My friend has it on his iPod. 68.55.180.200 21:38, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
