Website of the week - Pimp This Bum

A new kind of charity: PimpThisBum.com:

Read the inspiring story of Tim Edwards, who was homeless for FIVE years in America. And maybe help turn someone else's life around.

"PTB set out to aid the most disenfranchised segment of our society: the homeless. We truly believe that, while we won't be 100% successful in eliminating homelessness, we can provide opportunity for many people who want to get off the streets and return to a productive, fulfilling life.

Pimp This Bum is is a complement to the myriad shelters, food banks and other charities that embrace the homeless. As traditional charities welcome the masses and provide them with their greatest basic needs, Pimp This Bum surgically selects individuals, assesses the root causes for their condition, and prescribes a very individual solution to get them back into society.

PTB is administrated entirely by volunteers. All donations go directly to assisting the intended recipients."

Disney's Bambi (1942)

It always comes up when people are comparing their most traumatic movie experiences: "the death of Bambi's mother," a recollection that can bring a shudder to even the most jaded filmgoer. That primal separation (which is no less stunning for happening off-screen) is the centerpiece of Bambi, Walt Disney's 1942 animated classic, but it is by no means the only bold stroke in the film. In its swift but somehow leisurely 69 minutes, Bambi covers a year in the life of a young deer. But in a bigger way, it measures the life cycle itself, from birth to adulthood, from childhood's freedom to grown-up responsibility. All of this is rendered in cheeky, fleet-footed style--the movie doesn't lecture, or make you feel you're being fed something that's good for you. The animation is miraculous, a lush forest in which nature is a constantly unfolding miracle (even in a spectacular fire, or those dark moments when "man was in the forest"). There are probably easier animals to draw than a young deer, and the Disney animators set themselves a challenge with Bambi's wobbly glide across an ice-covered lake, his spindly legs akimbo; but the sequence is effortless and charming. If Bambi himself is just a bit dull--such is the fate of an Everydeer--his rabbit sidekick Thumper and a skunk named Flower more than make up for it. Many of the early Disney features have their share of lyrical moments and universal truths, but Bambi is so simple, so pure, it's almost transparent. You might borrow a phrase from Thumper and say it's downright twitterpated. --Robert Horton
