Weblog entry:

In search of Guy (and his Dog)

A scene from the movie "Guy's Dog"

Turn to your blog when Google fails you, says I.

Here’s a little experiment in weblog networking — hopefully one of the three of you will be able to help me out. A couple years ago, I caught a late-night animation show on the SciFi channel (this was, of course, back in the days when I had cable). The show featured a number of short films, both animated and live-action. They were all pretty surreal, but the one stand-out among the bunch was a claymation flick called Guy’s Dog. Blackly humorous and painfully well-written, the short lasted only ten minutes or so, but I still find myself quoting lines from it two years later.

Of course, since none of my friends have ever seen the damn thing, people tend to look askance at me when I do. But I digress.

So here’s my request for the three of you: I’d love to locate a copy of this movie, and would highly appreciate any tips on how to do so. Google has turned up relatively little; so far, I’ve found:

and that’s about it. Nothing as easy as links to any DVDs on Amazon turned up in any of my searches…so I turn to you.

Can you help a sidesh0w out?

Update: I was a doofus when I pushed this most recent redesign live, and neglected to preserve the parts of my CSS that controlled image layout. So if things look a little weird on this post, kindly reload and try again.

Update: An enterprising reader named Khris just let me know that Guy’s Dog is available for viewing at AtomFilms—it’s not downloadable, but hey. It’s a start.

The search continues.
