Fivre - Trailer

Fièvre (2014) Trailer - For more of the funniest videos, click here

All I can say after watching this trailer is 'You had me at Ether'. At a glance this looks like a cross between Ken Russell's Gothic, Dante Tomaselli's work and Beyond the Black Rainbow. Go read some actual details about this fantastic-looking new film on Bloody Disgusting. Director Romain Basset is one to watch for future awesomeness.

David Lynch - The Big Dream (Official Video)

I am not much of a Moby fan - nothing against him, the music I know of his is good but has just never done enough for me to make me a fan - but here he remixes, directs and apparently shoots a video for a David Lynch song that, as you'd expect from a Lynch fan, I LOVE.

Deftones - Entombed

I come back to this album so much that it has done that thing where, despite the fact that I love almost all of their other albums beginning with White Pony (not the re-issue with the 'rap' version of Pink Maggot) I just always go to Koi No Yokan. It's like a warm blanket of awesomeness and creative inspiration, and every time I listen to it - still!- it blows me away.

REC 4: Apocalypse Trailer

I am such a fan of the original [Rec] 1 and 2, not such a huge fan of 3 because it deviated from the urgency established in the continuity of those first two. If you've not seen these, or you've only seen the American remake titled Quarantine, you owe it to yourself. Soooo much better.

Of course, no US release date yet. Oh, and I couldn't find one with subtitles that would properly embed so here's a link to the aintitcool article that has that.

Nick Cage in a Bear Suit. Boots Randolph. 'Nuff Said

I'm a big fan of Boots Randolph's Yakety Sax. Hell, once you get past the goofiness that's been permanently tattooed onto Randolph's music you begin to see how it is a fairly uplifting take on life. If everything can be reduced to the kind of basic hilarity that Benny Hill trafficked in, the daily absurdities of life set to a soundtrack that really took the piss out of it and all its self importance, Randolph is the one who can do it with his squirrely horn and mocking compositions.

Branching out from here, to take what is the goofiest, squirreliest movie I've seen since The Room and string together all the 'good' parts to maximize the ridiculous effect it quickly becomes obvious the soundtrack to such an undertaking could really only consist of one song in particular. You guessed it, Yakety Sax.

If you've not seen this film do not go out of your way to do so until you have some friends in tow and at the very least a twelver of something good and strong. Dig in, catch a buzz and behold the quixotic madness that is Neil Labute's baffling attempt to remake Robin Hardy's The Wickeman for conventional, modern horror audiences.

Joss Whedon's In Your Eyes

Written and executive produced by Joss Whedon, directed by Brin Hill. I don't know anything about this film. It's existence was announced to me via an email I received from Vimeo alerting me to the fact that it is available to watch for $5 powered by their site.

Gonna have to find the time to do that, but figured I'd help spread the word.

Larry Hama, Marc Silvestri and Dan Green's Wolverine

is the topic in this week's Thee Comic Column over on Joup. To me, there are several issues of this creative team's run that really forms the backbone of a great character that, unfortunately, has subsequently been done to death. I still dig the ol' Canucklehead, but there are very few writers who still write the character well - probably mostly because of editorial intervention, which I think tends to play way to big a part in monthly, serialized comics by the big two and often has things beside the story or characters' best interests in mind.

Just sayin'.
