Parallel-Eye Strereogram Music Video

Make sure you go HD and follow the instructions at the beginning of this music video for Young Rival’s track “Black is Good”, because if you don’t you’ll just end up watching a fuzzy, white noise screen wondering what the heck is going on. But if you do it right you’ll be cooing over how [...]

The Sunday Times Newspaper: “Icons” Super Bowl Ad

Chimpnology

Insane animator Cyriak is back with another surreal mindf#ck of a video this time involving mutating chimp creatures that evolve into multi-limbed, multi-head spouting monsters the likes of which you’ll hope to never see again. Although, that last statement isn’t strictly true, because as with all of Cyriak’s animations, as disturbing as they are you’re [...]

Ex-Men: Cyclops

The great X-men cull continues as Pro X casts his sights on Cyclops in Pete Holmes’ series that has seen some of mutant kind’s finest get the chop from Xavier for various reasons—Cyclops’ problem seems to be that he’s a bit of a try-hard, always wanting to look cool and keeping his glasses on even [...]

Robocop Trailer – Homemade Shot for Shot

The fine art of “sweding” sees the new Robocop trailer getting remade, or homemade, with expensive special effects being replaced by cardboard cutouts, some tin foil, and action figures—it almost makes up for the fact that Hollywood decided to remake the original into a really shitty piece of shit that no one wants to see.

Jedi Party: Star Wars EP1 – Auralnauts

Watching Star Wars Episode 1 is like a special kind of torture, but not when it’s turned into a parody where R2-D2 becomes a magic trash can and the Jedia visit Space Hooters for some downtime. It’s an infinitely better place than the actual movie and is the only way you can rewatch Lucas’ abysmal [...]
