Woah.

Everything Is Terrible! as far as I'm concerned, are the masters of the found footage game. They're new project is called Memory Hole and their videos are beautifully nightmarish. Click on that link and watch their videos! Here's a taste though:



Also, I'm sorry I haven't updated this blog in so long! I've already failed on the "being consistent" aspect of my blog description. But hey! I'm here! An update from my last blog. I saw Mac DeMarco in San Francisco this past week and it couldn't have been better. Seeing both Limp Bizkit's "Break Stuff" and "Enter Sandman" being covered was the best treat one could receive. His new album Salad Days is my current favorite album of the year, so there's that.



As for recent film watches that were notable...

Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes was pretty incredible. One of the most wholly satisfying genre films I've ever seen. The Grand Budapest Hotel is probably my favorite film of the year so far. The Raid 2 trumps over the original in almost every way and it literally makes almost every big summer action movie look pretty weak in comparison. Blue Ruin was amazing, and my original #1 most anticipated film from this year! The 1987 horror film, Brain Damage came out of nowhere and blew me away. It's the second film from Frank Henenlotter, the man behind the horror cult classic Basket Case. Anyways, Brain Damage is a very unique, interesting film and I'm shocked this isn't considered to be essential viewing. There's a great underlining theme on addiction in there, as well as a turd-like talking penis monster. As silly as that sounds, it works. In fact, I may be posting my list of my top fifteen favorite 1980s horror films soon and Brain Damage will be on there somewhere! Keep an eye out on that!
