Eccentrics rule. Seriously. Where would we be without them? Sitting in the corner whimpering about the state of the economy and all that awful racket the kids these days listen to, I imagine. Instead, we get to watch hijinx of the highest order, from some koo-koo-ka-razy eccentrics. Lucky us!
Up first today, is an awesome compilation of the more uproariously "terrible" scens from Neil LaBute's remake of The Wicker Man, starring that most delightful of eccentrics, Nicholas Cage. If you haven't seen this before, I GUARANTEE you will not believe these choice tidbits are from a "major motion picture" by a big studio. Just plain awesome! (Thank you to the upstanding citizen who put this together for YouTube. May your days be filled with goodness.)
Next, I want to point you to a project that is eccentric as all get out, but appears to have been done on purpose-- not sure the same can be said of that Wicker Man thing. Warning: once you watch this trailer for Stingray Sam it is possible your life will devolve into a an endless period of longing to see the whole dang thing.
Who knew a cowboy/space opera/musical could look so tasty!
Lastly, there is a movie a-comin' down the line called After Last Season. Heads nor tails can be made of it. That seems to be part of its charm. Why is the trailer so compelling? I don't know. Why do squid have beaks? Why do elf owls control our destinies? Who is Ralph Emery? And why? Man, I can't wait to see this whole movie!
Oh sure, there's always gonna be a place for Joe and Jenny Squaresville director and their totally normal "dramas" and such, but let's all raise a glass of imaginary astronaut beverage to the nutballs who put on gorilla costumes and dance like drunken uncles in our dreams...
