Edited NASA CLIPPY 071613 movie Unidentified space junk floating by the space shuttle, the Russian space station Mir, Skylab, Apollo spacecraft and transiting the Moon’s surface. Who’s to say what these films truly reveal? Judging by the abundance of activity displayed, space is one crowded place.
Very twisted clip from John Carpenter’s The Thing. A chest that opens up and sports big, jagged fangs? The better to bite your hands off with! Ugly. Outstanding mechanical visual effects by Rob Bottin. All these monster effects had to be built from wire frames and then dressed to achieve the required look and then remotely made to function by one or more operators A lot of motors, wires, cables and what have you brought these monsters to life. Disney called them animatronics. They don’t make them like this anymore. CG is much quicker and cheaper.
Nice colorful, hypnotic pattens generated in time to the music track. Meant for recreational purposes only. hehe
A car attempting to pass another car ends up crashing into an unseen oncoming vehicle. Scary.
This little slide show of tornados and high winds and weather mayhem is totally unbelievable. Mother Nature can be very scary indeed. I live on the West Coast. We don’t have to deal with this nightmare. Just earthquakes. hehe.
Crazy wrestlers missing moves or getting over exhuberent in their matches. The result? A messed up body part (s). Looks painful. What a way to make a living!
Collection of clips depicting disgusting violations of the human body as The Thing (from another world, of course) starts to wipe out an icebound outpost of civilization.
With the sad passing of Monkees member Davy Jones, I wanted memories of better times and found this freak out from The Monkees LP, “Pisces, Aquarius, Capricorn & Jones Ltd.” Early use of the Moog Synthesizer and Monkee hijinks amid all the pretty flashing lights highlight this promo piece.
“…and it will not stop coming after you until you are dead!” Well, that was a line from an ’80’s science fiction film but this REAL! This weird, robot contraption kind of gives me the creeps.
This dude has got to be flipped! A ramp launch across open ground into a 12 foot wide, 5 foot deep swimming pool. Crazy sick.
Some call it a contract ending or breaking recording project turned in to his record label. Lester Bangs referred to it as garage electronic rock. Whatever Lou Reed’s intention, Metal Machine Music is pretty much a consistent recording: It all pretty much sounds the same after 5 minutes but there is over an hour of material on the record/CD to “indulge” in. What we hear are moments of interest, maybe even melody seeping briefly out of the multitracked noise sludge before being sucked back in by the feedback monster. I remember listening to this sort of thing being hungover. What’s a few [More]
WTF? Watch the entire movie and ask yourself: What kind of twisted mind came up with this tale? An entertaining if ridiculous movie featuring shipwreck survivors lost at sea, giant sea monsters feasting on human prey and a strange culture lost in time.
Another dittie – a love song. From The Damned. Singer Dave Vanian once upon a time favored a vampiric look. And guitarist Sensible wore feathers. Nice bit where they cavort around onstage with Sensible clinging to the broken neck guitar.
As we approach Halloween, we must plan on getting together with friends and having parties. This tune will get the walls rattling and it has a sort of Halloween related title. Nice Motorhead livecrypt song.
