The Dark Knight - Joker Interrogation Scene Spoof

“Alternate take of Batman and the Joker’s first conversation in The Dark Knight. [...] I play the Joker, and I play Batman. Same guy. I did everything except punch myself in the face”

Reminds me of this weird animation. The tune is from some Brazilian pop song if I remember correctly.

Cross-stitch portrait of David Lynch (”Fire Walk With Me”)

“After two months of unemployment, I finally finished my masterpiece: a cross-stitch portrait of David Lynch. It’s cheesy and strange, and I’m very happy with how it turned out. For about a week there, he looked like Hitler and I was concerned and contemplating scrapping the entire project.”

More pics on Flickr. It’s cool, but I’d prefer one with The Log Lady :P.

Teaser trailer for Terminator Salvation (summer 2009)

As the first season of Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles struck me as surprisingly good, I wonder if this movie will live up to my restored quite flattering opinion of the Terminator universe.

Firefly, Buffy creator’s free web series available until tomorrow

Those with an unhealthy Joss Whedon obsession need to watch “Dr. Horrible’s Sing-along blog” right now (three short episodes). Hopefully, this experiment will the first in a new wave of quickly, cheaply but well produced non-suck series.

Music download: New X-Files theme by UNKLE

It’s a new version of Mark Snow’s good old creepfest theme remade for the new X-Files movie which is about to open in theatres soon (US July 25, Finland August 1).

UNKLE is also the band behind the only piece of music I have clear memories of having heard repeatedly in my dreams.

I dunno what to expect from the new X-Files movie. I enjoyed the atmosphere of the first six seasons or so of the series as much as the next geek/conspiracy nut, but that was before They chose to flush the characters down the drain pipe of silly love stories.

If “I Want to Believe” turns out to be crap, I recommend curing your 2012 angst with David Duchovny in last year’s Hollywood inside joke Californication instead. His character is kind of like a coked up and stoned school girl chasing version of Mulder.

Sequel to Zeitgeist conspiracy movie coming in October

The followup will be titled “Zeitgeist - Addendum” (watch trailer).

I most definitely recommend watching the original movie, last year’s big hit among Internet natives. Ingested with the appropriate amount of grains of salt, Zeitgeist is, despite its length and other problems an interesting intellectual challenge and raiser of questions concerning the world we live in.

Zeitgeist, the Movie can be watched on Google Video or downloaded via bittorrent.

Movie to watch: Waltz with Bashir (animated Israeli anti-war documentary)

Waltz with Bashir, ex teenage soldier Ari Folman’s attempt to put together pieces of suppressed memories from his possible participation in e.g. a massacre during the Lebanon War of the early eighties, seems like an important movie. From Times:

“… the film’s most damning moment is reserved for the then Israeli Minister of Defence, one Ariel Sharon. An interviewee recalls that when he informed the minister in a late-night phone call that a massacre was suspected, Sharon said “Thank you for bringing it to my attention” and promptly went back to sleep.”
