Hmm... I think I'm with Luke on this one. It's really quite stunning, but a bit too dark to not get you down after a while. I compare it to the style of "The Spirit".
That is the best thing in a long time. That needs to be a real full length movie! I neeeed it!
I love the visual style, but only for four minutes. I think much longer and it would start getting me down.

I completely disagree. Although, as demonstrated by the fact that I watched Skycrawlers twice in one night, I have an unreasonable hard-on for melancholy.

I don't mean the tone is dark, but I'm not sure how you could vary the tone over the course of a feature film and still retain the energy. Also, check out the movie "9".
"9 is a 2005 computer animated short film by Shane Acker as a student project at the UCLA Animation Workshop. Tim Burton saw the film and was so impressed by its artistic vision that he went on to produce a feature-length adaptation using the same title, directed by Acker..."
I mean the full length movie version.
"The general sentiment by critics is that the film is "long on imaginative design but less substantial in narrative.""
Sometimes a short film is the right length kept short.
They aren't upside down. All of the covers point up and if you opened them the way they're on the table, you'd be able to read them immediately. The text on the spine is upside down, but if you can't read upside down, get the hell of my internet :P

Jump rope awesomeness.
No really, it's better than you think it will be.
@Coldguy: I am getting one of those right after I get one of these cheap PS3 controllers.
