This is a brilliant video. I love the concept of taking those disturbing animated gifs that loop two or three frames from slightly different perspectives, and using it as the basis of terrible nightmare vision. If only we could take all the raw meme materials from the internet and make things so moving and artful…
If Wes Anderson was hoping for a lot of hype today surrounding the unveiling of the soundtrack to his upcoming stop motion animated film Fantastic Mr. Fox, the New Moon tracklist announcement probably didn’t help.
In his soundtrack (via Flavorwire), Anderson combines a few predictable choices (Rolling Stones, Beach Boys) with some lesser-known artists (Georges Delerue, Nancy Adams) and a Jarvis Cocker-penned theme song to make for a pretty interesting playlist. And just when you thought you were winning, Chris Weitz, Anderson takes your Bon Iver contribution and raises you three Burl Ives tracks.

1. “American Empirical Pictures”*

Jean-Pierre Jeunet (director of “Amelie” and “A Very Long Engagement”) just premiered his new film “Micmacs” at the Toronto Film Festival. Of course, we have an opinion about it.
Tom Waits Terrifies in Doctor Parnassus Trailer
Over a year ago, we reported that none other than Tom Waits would play the Devil (“not a devil…The Devil”) in Terry Gilliam’s forthcoming film The Imaginarium of Doctor Parnassus. As Videogum points out, the trailer for that film has debuted online. And oh man, does Waits look terrifying. Actually, the whole movie looks terrifying:

butseriously: i’m not a huge terry gilliam fan, but if anything, this movie will be a visual treat.
The Mighty Boosh recently invaded NYC (finally) and we were lucky enough to snag some time with founders Julian Barratt and Noel Fielding. It’s everything you wanted to know, plus a few things you didn’t. Read it all here.
