Ryan Mcculloch's animated short film is a twisted little treat.
An old-school Cylon sings of his robot love in this funny and surprisingly sweet vignette from those scamps at Fall On Your Sword.
From Neil Innes' 1979 BBC series The Innes Book of Records, here's the toe-tappin' video for Urban Spaceman.
Panasonic unleashed this giant Japanese lady on Tokyo to promote a new brand of camera.
XO is a grimly effective mini-comic in which a serial killer recounts his various murders with a chilling casualness. Brian John Mitchell writes the stories, with Melissa Spence Gardner's plain, almost childlike drawings serving to make each tale even more creepy. Originally published as tiny comic books, you can see them below in Youtube form. The simple slideshow presentation and lack of music or sound effects actually works remarkably well for these stories.
No Shatner Sunday this week, but instead here's a very, very odd little stop-motion Star Trek fan film from animator Spockboy. I couldn't begin to tell you what it's all about, but Mr. Spockboy describes the video thusly: "I made this film years ago. It's about a guy named Dick, who dreams that he is in an episode of Star Trek. The heads are made of clay, the bodies of wood......ENJOY!"
A charming, random moment with Edward Gorey and one of his many cats, in which the beloved, eccentric illustrator offers up his opinion of the weird indie picture Suture.
This clip's not much to look at, but the audio is an interesting little curio. If you've ever wondered what it would sound like if Shatner guest starred on Joe Frank's old NPR show, now you know.
Roger Ebert has announced that At the Movies, the long-running TV show he co-hosted, first with Gene Siskel and later with Steve Roper, will be returning to PBS in January. Christine Lemire and Elvis Mitchell will host, with Ebert (who sadly lost his voice to cancer a while back) contributing commentary via a new, synthesized voice assembled from clips of his old reviews.
I wish I was thrilled about the news, but the promo clip above doesn't fill me with hope. Mitchell and Lemire seem pretty stiff, there's no chemistry there yet. Here's hoping they can kick out the kinks by January.
NBC won't be making that Heroes TV movie after all.
I watched Heroes from the beginning to the end, and while the show definitely had its problems I never thought it deserved the endless abuse it got. Once the fanboy pile-on begins and it becomes an established "truth" that a given movie/TV show/whatever is the "worst thing ever," the actual quality of the thing becomes irrelevant. People start trying to top each other with how much they hate it, the hater hyperbole gets out of control and eventually nobody will admit that they ever liked the damn show.
So, now Heroes is done. It ended on an ambiguous note, but it wasn't a huge cliffhanger or anything. I'm a little bummed that we'll never find out what was up with the eclipse, and we'll never know if Sylar finally decided to be good or evil or if Claire-bear decided she was straight or bi.
But maybe it's worth it to end the show here, just so the geeks won't be able to spew their venom all over a proper series finale.
It sounds like a College Humor sketch, but it's really happening: Uwe Boll, the director behind such infamous cinematic stinkers as Alone in the Dark and Bloodrayne, is at work on a film about the Holocaust. The trailer above features some very graphic, disturbing imagery. That's Boll himself as the bored guard outside of the gas chamber.
This movie will probably be a hideous mess, but part of me is actually rooting for Boll, here. People are always telling him that he sucks, and he's obviously not a guy who takes criticism well. It would be kind of neat if he could surprise the heck out of everybody and make a WWII drama that really works.
Terry Gilliam may well be the most unlucky director alive, and none of his productions have been so cursed as The Man Who Killed Don Quixote. After the project fell apart in a most spectacular fashion some years ago, Gilliam recently managed to revive it. But now Variety reports that Quixote is dead, yet again.
Han and Chewie return at last in this animated Star Wars fan film. It's a lot of fun, and they do a good job of capturing Han Solo's personality. (It must be said, however, that the Chewbacca we know and love was never this much of a badass.)
Sigh... When will George Lucas get it into his head that something like this is basically what the fans have been waiting for since 1983 or so?
If you've seen those Chef Boyardee commercials where a young girl's security blanket comes to life and nags her while she's eating lunch with a couple of pals, you probably thought they were the creepiest things you'd ever seen. Well, now somebody has made them even creepier (and a lot funnier) by dubbing in some of Samuel L. Jackson's NSFW dialogue from Pulp Fiction.
Yes, we've already seen lots and lots of clips that've been dubbed over with this scene. But somehow they never stop being funny...
Seasons is an enchanting little flash thing (you can't quite call it a game) where you steer Thomas - a sort of egg-man on a unicycle - through various pastoral, surreal scenes. Don't hurry through the various environments. It's worth it to take your time pedaling around and seeing what Thomas discovers.
