I watched one of the strangest and therefore awesomest movies yesterday. It had been on my Netflix queue for ages and I finally got around to it. The Happiness of the Katakuri’s is the tale of a family who move out to the country and buy a B&B. Unfortunately, all of their guests start dying and when a body is found, or for any reason, the family starts singing and dancing. Sometimes, for action scenes, everything goes claymation and it’s batshit. The opening of the movie says it all so take a look. Always watch out for angel fetuses trying to steal your uvula.
From the company that brought you Pride & Prejudice & Zombies and Sense & Sensibility & Sea Monsters comes a new classic for all to enjoy. Android Karenina. Check the synompsis below and prepare for the awesome.
As in the original novel, our story follows two relationships: the tragic adulterous romance of Anna Karenina and Count Alexei Vronsky, and the much more hopeful marriage of Nikolai Levin and Kitty Shcherbatskaya. These four, yearning for true love, live in a steampunk-inspired 19th century of mechanical butlers, extraterrestrial-worshiping cults, and airborne debutante balls. Their passions alone would be enough to consume them–but when a secret cabal of radical scientific revolutionaries launches an attack on Russian high society’s high-tech lifestyle, our heroes must fight back with all their courage, all their gadgets, and all the power of a sleek new cyborg model like nothing the world has ever seen.
To go along with this previous awesomeness we have the cover art below. I’ve never read the original, but this looks like top notch lunacy.
Mickey & Goofy, Huey Duey & Luey, Daisy, and Donald solo. Now add to that list Donald’s old school cartoons with his best pal Mickey’s dog Pluto. Why do they interact? Who knows. Pluto seems to be his employee? A bad employee at that too. Sleeping the job. Things later take a random turn when an asshole bee is suddenly introduced. Why does everyone have to be so rude to poor Donald. He is just a victim of the cruel world in which he lives. So he has a temper. It doesn’t show up until he is provoked by one of the many uncaring people in his life. Fuck his life. You good for nothing mutt!
Everyblog in America has been putting up this freakshow of epic proportions. Think of a drag show. Now think of being high on heroin. Now think of being raped by a goat. Or something. The My Little Ponys have gone into some of the good stuff and can’t help but sing to gay anthems. I must say that these pony actors can act up a storm with their eerie eye movements and hovering back legs. Below you can hear some special songs. That one that is from Dream Girls that the Hudson girl sang and that one from the witch musical where Kristen Chenoweth plays a baby voice Glenda.
The Pipettes has a really good song in “Pull Shapes” and a really good video to accompany the song. Now, 14 band member changes later, we only have two PIpettes and a really awful video. “Our Love Was Saved By Spacemen” is a damn weird song and I disliked it on first listen. Now though, it has wrapped itself around my brain and will not let go not matter how hard I try to scrape it off. It’s too bad about the video though. The last one was a remake of the party scene from Beyond The Valley of The Dolls! I guess nothing can possibly top that. For your viewing enjoyment, here are some bargain basement special effects.
Who Framed Roger Rabbit? was a special kind of movie and I have no idea why I started to thinking about it today. OH. Now I remember. Said reason behind remembering will be posted on a later date, but your guess is probably right. They are planning on making a sequel this year, so be prepared for a complete bastardization and a bunch of CGI mo-cap styled Pixar looking cartoon characters looking nothing like Warner Brothers/Disney styled art. Fuck you Hollywood. Clips are as follows: Judge Doom having a bit of a freak out, Roger having a freak out, Nina Hyena having a freak out.
I don’t know what this is, but it’s easy to find when you type “monkey from hell” into google. Thank you VampireHungerStrike for you brilliantly horrifying art. Brought to us by Deviantart.com
Before I talk about whatever, I would like to share a bit of weird spam i received today. There were five and all seemed to be from prescription drug spammers about some war or something. This was my favorite: “their nights sharpening spoon-handles into shanks, and the ones who just lay”. Huh-Wah?
Moving on. Or maybe, speaking of weapons, I have, included, a 9 minute video of great scenes from the film Troll 2. Those in the know recognize this film as the greatest of all time. It’s imaginative dialogue, stunning acting work and extremely plausible plotting make for a movie spectacular. All you need to know going into is that a kid pees on his family’s food in order to keep them from melting into a green substance that the goblins (not trolls as per the title). Popcorn sex?! Bologna saves all?! This movie is a mess. I want to spoil everything, but i will not.
In the realm of Donaldom, I have covered Donald alone, his interactions with his nephews and his interactions with Mickey and Goofy. It is time now to focus on another one of his frequent costars, that “loveable” slut, Daisy Duck. She does nothing but put him down and make him feel like shit. What a fairweather bitch. Sure, Donald doesn’t have the best track record when it comes to sanity, but that’s no reason to be such a cockteasing piece of crap.
In the clip below, Daisy turns Donald out after a slight mishap. Once again, Donald tries his best at controlling his temper with the help of a crash course by record. The end just goes to show what I have said about Daisy. Fairweather.
Comics were kind of dull this week and that’s a damned shame. Two upcoming events are causing me to become excited though. Firstly, Muppet King Arthur looks awesome, even it is only the cover thus far. JANICE is the Lady of the Lake and she looks as freakish as ever. And look! Ugly Deadly is the figurehead on the prow of Kermie’s boat.
Meanwhile, over in Marveldom, Thanos is coming back from the dead in a big way. I previously posted a cover from Guardians of the Galaxy with his return, but this cover takes the cake. A new storyline begins called the Thanos Imperitive and we have the on-shot opening salvo to drool over.
