Space Chimp

I half expected this short film to turn into a bizarro version of Planet of the Apes. I wanted this aged space chimp to land on an irradiated Earth, thousands of years after his departure (due to the temporal demands of general relativity) and scream to the heavens in chimp language, “You blew it all up, you bastards!”

Koyaanisqatsi by King Crimson

This is one of those serendipitous finds that is a little bit too Meppy for coincidence’s sake. Here we have footage from Mep favorite Koyaanisqatsi set to music from progressive rock band, King Crimson, which just happens to be one of the major influences of The Road.

Pitch Perfect

This movie would have been exponentially better than “Angels in the Outfield.” You’re telling me no one wants to front $20 million to get it done? Do it. Get it done.

By the way, if you’re wondering why the coach has cerebral paulsey, check out the story of Zach Anner and his near-hosting of Oprah’s new show.

Kubrick vs Scorsese

As a dyed in the wool Stanley Kubrick fan, this pairing occurred to me as wildly uneven. As a Brooklyn kid, I like Goodfellas and Gangs of New York as much as the next guy, but have a hard time putting them in the same league as A Clockwork Orange or 2001. Cinematically, though, they are all wondrous to watch – and quite compelling as opposite ends of this mashup.

Twilight Affinity Explained

If you thought you were the only one wondering why Twilight has become a cultural phenomenon, despite the fact that it is a work about glittering, vegetarian, self-loathing vampires, look no further. This explains quite a bit.

The Shape of Sound

Looking at this video, I feel like Richarrd Dreyfus from Close Encounters of the Third Kind. I feel the need to poke this video with a salad fork and say, “This means something. This is important.”

Will Ferrell is King of All He Surveys

Here’s Will Ferrell posing as a minor league baseball pitcher for the semi-pro Round Rock Express. In my opinion, he could have done a lot more with this opportunity – like break out a few eephus pitches.

As is, this guy is becoming the real world incarnation of Montgomery Brewster, an affable gozillionaire that can pretty much do whatever he pleases. It’s fun to watch.
