STRANGE TOONS: LOGORAMA

Thursday, February 11, 2010


Logorama, one of the animated short films up for an Oscar this year, is an imaginative, profane and pitch-black satire set in a world in which everything everywhere is an advertising logo or character. Created by the French filmmaking collective H5 (Francois Alaux, Herve de Crecy and Ludovic Houplain), Logorama is a beautifully made but very angry film that reminds me of some of Alan Moore's best '80s work, particularly the seldom-seen gem In Pictopia. It's not unlikely Logorama will get yanked offline sometime soon, so see it while you can.

About This Blog

"Science fiction plucks from within us our deepest fears and hopes, then shows them to us in rough disguise: the monster and the rocket." - W.H. Auden

Who is he, this one who is called "Greg Stacy"?

Greg Stacy began the MONSTERS AND ROCKETS blog in April of 2009. Prior to that, he was editor of the popular sci-fi/horror news website DARKWOLDS.COM. He has also written for LA WEEKLY, OC WEEKLY, UTNE READER and LOS ANGELES CITYBEAT. He always feels weird writing about himself in the third person.
