I've wanted to link to Glumpers <http://glumpers.com/> before, but I didn't
feel that it was worth its own post. In the above link, there's a one-minute
episode of Glumpers, but I thought this quote from the blog is neat:

Through the years I've seen some really complicated student films blow
audiences away but more often than not it was the simple, sincere, heartfelt
and well-thought out piece that really caught everyone's attention and got
the biggest applause. Simplicity is a wonderful thing and I believe
simplicity lies at the heart of making something appealing. The ironic thing
is how hard it is to be simple. We resist it because it seems too easy, that
nobody will like our work unless we smother it in layers of complexity, and
that way if it's bad, at least nobody will be able to tell because they
won't be able to penetrate all of our layers of complexity!
