Zombie Ass: Toilet of the Dead

It’s true when they say 90% of all the worlds weird sh#t comes straight from the heart of Japan. Schoolgirls, tentacles and assorted oddities are just the way they roll. As far as Japan goes, this trailer is pretty vanilla. Sure, it’s the most danger movie about sewer dwelling derrière obsessed zombies, but that just [...]

Starry Night (interactive animation)

Van Gogh’s ‘Starry Night’ gets animated by Petros Vrellis into trippy, melting visuals that might well give you a flashback should you watch it too many times, because it is quite addictive. The painting becomes interactive with the sound too responding to the flow, so just dive in, get lost for a few minutes and [...]

Hot Milky Weirdness

Is it art? What is art? Will there be cake? All these questions need answering. The music and cinematography might make you think so, but the cold hard reality of the situation we are presented with is that it’s just a ginger guy pouring milk over some female’s chest. In some circles that may be [...]

Famous Photographs Meet Their Creators

The Tank Man of Tienanmen Square. Muhammad Ali standing over Sonny Liston in victory. The portrait of the Afghan Girl on the cover of National Geographic.

Video Game Demake Artwork

It’s time to bring today’s modern gaming hits to the good old days – Bioshock, Deus Ex, Mass Effect, Portal, etc are all seriously beautiful games, but even when reduced to a fraction of their former pixel count by talented demake artists Pieceoftoast & JunkBoy, they still look totally awesome. I’d love to play these.

Pulp Fiction in Chronological Order

It’s one of the greatest films of the 90s, starting famously in the diner with the robbery and making its jumbled up way through a modern day L.A. meeting lowlifes, crooks, gangsters, boxers, hit men and Christopher Walken. But everybody be cool, because this is it presented in chronological order. Oh, you dig it the [...]

Davyd (A.I. Mashup)

Micro remix maven Pogo turns his adept skillage to Spielberg’s ‘AI: Artificial Intelligence’ turning the voices, chords and sound effects into a symphony of enchanting awesomeness. It’s just beautiful man. No, that’s not a tear, it’s my electrical circuitry playing up.

Tempest Milky Way

It’s…it’s beautiful man. Shot in South Dakota from June-August it shows the glorious beauty of the night sky with shooting stars, the majesty of the belt of the Milky Way, meteors reflecting on the water of a small lake. And a whole bunch of other marvellous shit that you can look at and coo over.

8 Hours in Brooklyn

If you had 8 hours in Brooklyn, what would you do? Would you jump around in some water with your top off? Roll around on the dirty floor of a derelict bus? Play some basketball? Skate? Get a tattoo? Fuck about with a fire hydrant? No? Well these guys did. And then some guy shot [...]
