Bill Zebub
Outsider filmmaker Bill Zebub is even more crass and shameless than Nick Zedd. With films like Rape is a Circle, Jesus Christ: Serial Rapist, and Dolla Morte (a film made completely with dolls, in which George Bush tries to attain immortality by killing Dracula), it’s clear he isn’t aiming for Cannes. But he has his devoted fans — most of whom have long, greasy hair and beer bellies. His penchant for lower than low budget special effects, bad acting, tasteless humor, and scantily clad women may put most people off, but that’s precisely what he’s aiming to do. Zebub also has a great metal radio show on WFMU called Professor Dum Dum’s Lab, on which he plays his German alter-ego, Professor Dum Dum: Scientist of Music and Human Behavior. His remake of his 2005 film The Worst Horror Movie Ever Made, which attempts to cram every conceivable horror movie cliche into an hour and a half, will be released in March.

Lars Von Trier’s new film: Melancholia
Keeping up with the trend of the Apocalypse, Lars Von Trier premiered his latest mind scramble, Melancholia, at Cannes this year. The film is typical Von Trier, with its paced and dry psychological unraveling, complete internal disrobing of the characters, and high strung tension. But it also excels with its breathtaking cinematography, cosmic soundtrack, and remarkable performances by Kirsten Dunst and Charlotte Gainsbourg. This movie will make you avoid looking at the moon for a while.

Nazis, who have colonized the dark side of the moon since their defeat in WWII, have decided to re-invade Earth in the upcoming comedic action/sci-fi/steampunk-ish film Iron Sky. Laibach did the soundtrack. Who’s stoked? I’m stoked.

This selection of elegantly designed Chinese public health posters date between the mid-1930s and the late-1950s and warn about aspirin tablets, hand-washing, and how to ‘get rid of the four pests’. We love. Read more

The philosophy of a beginning is to me, a wonderful concept. I really enjoy flicking through the back catalogues of a musician and discovering their origin, then tracing their musical journey to the present. So for American-born, Paris-based sister duo CocoRosie, who released their third album The Adventure of Ghosthouse and Stillborn to much acclaim, making the trip to their beginnings is more than worth the journey: their debut album, Le Maison de Mon Reve (released back in 2004) was a gentle stroll through their pop and classical influences, which melt together seamlessly into a backdrop for their unique and enchanting voices.

My friend and fine artist Sara Wolfe sent me this link of Chicago based artist Diego Leclery. He created this flash animation Panda, to celebrate the recent Beijing Olympics.
