If Lars Von Trier Directed a Donald Duck Movie, This Would Happen:

Posted on by

If the name Lars Von Trier sounds even vaguely familiar to you, you probably know that he’s notorious for his ever-serious, dark, and disturbing directorial style.  I still remember the first Trier film I saw back in Prague where they have gigantic screens in the movie theatres, and no part of Antichrist escaped me—especially the extreme-close-up shot of Charlotte Gainsbourg taking a pair of scissors to her ladyparts.  I am still scarred from this, and so is my friend who cried after we got home from the film because she was so (understandably) disturbed.

Alas, it seems my pain and suffering from sitting through an hour and 38 minutes of violently disturbing porn and horror — or as young Alex and his droogs would say, “a bit of the ultraviolent” — has paid off, because without it I would have no context to find the humor in the above video.  So, my fellow Von Trier film PTSD sufferers, watch and enjoy.  Just don’t let it mess with your love of the Donald & Daisy Duck family!!

Cute Animal Kingdom Animation is a Throwback to The Lion King!

Akama Studio’s animation reminds me of the last few scenes in The Lion King where color and life are restored to the Pride Rock kingdom in an epic montage.  This animation was created as an advertisement for Tiji, a French television program for kids.

NEW Tim Burton Film About a Boy and his Dead Dog: Frankenweenie

Posted on by

I would say it’s not as creepy as it sounds, but we’re dealing with Tim Burton and claymation here.  Fortunately full-on-disturbedness is prevented by its theme of the endearing and tragic relationship between a child and his/her first pet.  You grow up with them, they are a part of your lives, and when they are taken away from you (inevitably the one phone call every college student dreads), you’re left with this sick feeling that you just can’t kick.  Would I have Franken-weener’d my own dog? In a heartbeat.  But that’s life for you–and I can’t wait to see how the story of Frankenweenie plays out. Premieres October 5, 2012.

No Guts No Glory: Comics ZOMBIFIED

Posted on by

I’m going to be a little harsh here, which I don’t usually do.  But I take my zombie interest very seriously, and if you’re going to put the time and effort into drawing zombie portraits of famous comic book characters, you should at the very least make it Badass (with a capital B, of course).  How about some innards stuck in Archie’s teeth? Better yet, he ate Betty and Veronica and is flossing with their hair?  When zombie Waldo goes all Night-of-the-Living-Dead on crowd of unknowing humans, is it easier to find him?  And it looks like Popeye gets to ditch the Spinach supplement in favor of some sweet Olive Oyl.

Anyway, I digress. You know what they say…no guts, no glory.  Here are the zombie portraits here by Andre de Freitas…
