St. Vincent
“Marrow”

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…

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.

Our friends over at Asthmatic Kitty are getting ready to release what seems to be quite the multi-media extravaganza. As you might remember, back in 2007, Sufjan Stevens performed a BAM commissioned piece that was inspired by the BQE. Apparently, the sold-out performances were followed by proper recordings and on Oct. 20, 2009 AK will release a double-disc album that includes the original film on DVD, the original soundtrack on CD, a 40 page booklet (with photos and liner notes), and a stereoscopic image reel (aka View-Master), created by illustrator Stephen Halker.

But that’s not all—there will be a screening in NYC on Oct. 24th at the 92YTribeca (complete with music from string quartet Osso). Tickets went on sale today.

Slashfilm has your first look at Wes Anderson’s animated adaptation of Fantastic Mr. Fox, based on the children’s book by Roald Dahl. (In case you are not familiar, the story follows Mr. Fox and his conflict with three farmers from whom he’s been stealing food).

Characters are voiced by George Clooney, Bill Murray and Meryl Streep. Fantastic Mr. Fox releases November 13th.

“The Swimming Cities of Serenissima is a fleet of handmade boats and a crew of artists who travelled the Adriatic Sea from Slovenia to Venice this May and June, 2009. They made art boats from junk and performed the dreamy story of a drifting metropolis during the Venice Biennale. View all of Tod Seelie’s 300 amazing photos here.” via:owlonholiday:

When you wake up shouting “Idea!” / is that a punishment? / you represent, saying “I’m real!” / but is that what you meant?
