As of about three years ago, some (maybe all) companies did use "artists"
sitting in front of workstations colouring one frame at a time.
I would be surprised if there is any serious automation competing with
the artist sweatshops, it seems like too tough an AI problem, even
tracing aides like edge detectors may be fooled too often.

After reading a posting on colorization I was reminded of an incident that
happened here at the University of Colorado's Conference on World Affirs
last spring. Ted Turner gave one of the keynote speeches. Roger Ebert was
also at the conference all week ripping apart Silence of the Lambs piece by
piece. After the speech, during the question and answer period,
Roger Ebert got in line for the microphone. When it was his turn, Roger
didn't have to say a word. Ted Turner said, "I know what you are going to
say Roger, and my response is that I won't be colorizing any more films. We've
run out of films worth colorizing." Roger was visibly pleased and so was the
crowd.

I doubt there's a casting directory alive that's that stupid, but I could

This occurred to me as well while I was watching "Pet Sematary II".
He's already too old, but if you had to pick someone who could at least
"look" the part Furlong could probably do it. Whether or not he could
"act" the part, I don't know.

Remember -- most of the book has Ender between 6 and 10 years old. That
would put most of the better young actors out there out of the running.

Again, "Hook". My friends and I spent a good 10 minutes debating whether or
not to fork over the cash to see this or "Medicine Man". At the last minute
we went for Hook. Spent the next two hours kicking ourselves for our stupidity.
We were so upset by the how utterly manipulative this film was. Not a second
of genuine feeling or emotion could be gleaned from this bomb. Truly, this
film was a Turd diguised as a Tootsie Roll! The only consolation we derived
from the experience was from going to see "Medicine Man" the following night
and realizing that we would have chosen a turkey no matter which film we
had picked.

Rosedale gets its name from Roseville; Brookdale, Brooklyn Park;
Southdale presumably from being south of Mpls. proper, it was the first
and no pattern was established and Edinadale sounds awful.
So what about Ridgedale? Why not Tonkadale or Minnedale since it's in
Minnetonka.

Don't forget Normandale Community College, Wooddale Baptist Church, and several
zillion strip malls ending in DALE (e.g., Eagandale). Heck, there's even
Dinkydale in the Dinkytown neighborhood. And the Dale Warland Singers.

The "OmegaMall" is open in Bloomington. It is not a Dale.

There are other "local jokes" in Keillor's work. One that comes to mind
are the explorers Aldrich Bryant and Emerson Fremont -- whose names came,
of course, from the alphabetically-ordered avenues of South Minneapolis.
(Can you name them? Ready, set, go!) Remember any other local references?

By the way, it's early fall here now, and just incredibly beautiful. Little

This is very true.  You've got Rosedale, Ridgedale, Southdale, and some more
that escape me.  This is the true origin of the joke.  I think it's meant 
mostly for the locals, but can be appreciated (with slightly less hilarity)
by non-Minnesotans.

I believe it would be directed more often to the furniture folks, with the
side-effect of a cute grin for the Disney folks, and a sly grin for the
strip-tease folks.  

I also am willing to guess that Teasdale actually is "tease Dale", assuming
there's a Dale on the crew.  Any others we could pass on to ARC for Bertha's
to branch out to (more dales, that is)?

Part of the joke, I'm told, is that there are a number of shopping malls
around Minneapolis St. Paul which have names ending in 'dale' and are
collectively called "the -dales" by locals.

Or maybe Chippendale is referring to the male strip-tease series of

Yep, that's right!  Let's see if I can remember them all:

Rosedale
Southdale  (the world's first enclosed mall)
Ridgedale
Brookdale

Although I suspect this is not the case, there is a Dale involved. When 
GK quit doing his weekday drive time "Morning Program" on Minnesota 
Public Radio, the show was taken over by Tom Keith (aka Jim Ed Poole) 
and Dale Connelly. They do some brilliant comedy, with Dale doing most 
of the writing. I believe Dale has also done some writing for Garrison's 
shows, and of course, Tom does voices and sound effects on ARC.

As far as I know, the Morning Show continues unchanged. When I left MPR, 
it was very popular. If APR ever does a national drive time show, they 
would be excellent candidates for the job. I always thought it a shame a 
wider audience wasn't exposed to The Morning Show.

Dale and Tom are very talented and Great Guys as well.

Okay - I know that Bertha's is in the Dales, and I know that the Dales
are:

Royendale 
Clydesdale
Teasdale
Chippendale
Airedale
Mondale

"and all the other fine shopping centers."

And I've figured out what
Royendale, Clydesdale, Airedale, and Mondale are for.

But I don't know WHAT

Teasdale means

And (the BIG question)

I'm not sure if 

Chippendale is for the 18th century English furniture style or

Chip and Dale (the chipmunks).

Does anyone know?

True! I lived for a number of years in South Minneapolis. About 2 miles
from the first indoor mall, Southdale. The bad job market forced me out
of Minnesota. sigh :-(. There are large number of malls whos name ends
in "dale" and we do refer to them as "The Dales". When the Mega-mall was
being buildt a number of radio wags (Morning Zoo types) kept refering to
it as "Mega-Dale". Only in the Cities would that get a laugh. sigh :-(.
