The Human Centipede Gets Clipped

"The Human Centipede" is something I just heard about recently. I know it's being screened this week at Austin's "Fantastic Fest" movie festival. It's won some horror movie prizes and the such. All you need to know going into this movie (if it gets an American release) is that there's a mad scientist attaching humans together to create a multiple organism that shares the same intestinal system. Which now, makes the last part of the clip make sense to you if you watched before you read this. Yeah, that woman's mouth is attached to someone else's rear, and she seems to have the same human-attached-to-my-butt problem. Truly a fucked up film, but aren't those some of the best ones sometimes?

September Doldrums

Yeah, in case you hadn't noticed, September's been a pretty lean month when it comes to posting around the BAFW. You could say that I'm getting a little bit on the tired side. But it's mostly my day job killing my writing ability by exhausting the shit out me. And it's not even having to work extra hours, because all that beautifully expensive (for the company) overtime we used to work has dried up as of late. No, just going in to work and doing the same thing over and over again is what's doing it.

But, I start a new assignment October 5th. I won't really have to deal with customers for about 2 months while I'm being trained for my new position at my job. Which is great. I should be feeling a little more refreshed and posts will just flow a bit more naturally then. I'm hoping. Keep your fingers crossed.

So, let's just ride out September. It's just a shitty month for BAFW. And is anyone else in Southern California? What the hell is up with this heat wave? I hate you Santa Ana winds!

Paranormal Activity Trailer

This little indie movie, "Paranormal Activity", is due to come out next week in selected cities. This trailer effectively uses audience reactions to sell the movie, which I now want to watch. Check this trailer out and hope that your city is on the list (at the end of the trailer), but it if isn't, there might be a way to get it to your neck of the woods. But you have to see the trailer to find out how. Enjoy.

We Are ODST Trailer

The new "Halo 3" campaign is due to come out September 22nd. Titled "Halo 3:ODST", it puts you in the boots of an Orbital Drop Shock Trooper rather than a genetically enhanced Spartan super-soldier. But, from the looks of this live action trailer, that doesn't make it any less exciting and action-filled. Did I mention the video is also gorgeous to just look at. It also looks a lot like "District 9". Not sure if Neill Blomkamp directed this or not, but he had directed a few shorts in 2007 for the "Halo 3" release.

This video is also making me yearn for a live action "Halo" movie. It can be done. Just check out the trailer and get ready for a pretty badass experience when it comes out. A movie might just be a pipe dream, but we still get to play the game.

Between Two Ferns - Charlize Theron

Between Two Ferns with Zach Galifianakis from Between Two Ferns

I really like Zach Galifianakis's "Between Two Ferns" series of celebrity interviews. They're cringe-inducing masterpieces. But, looks like Charlize Theron is a fan as well, because she decided to turn the cringe-screws on Zach, and it makes for some funny (not die) moments. Check out the video, courtesy of FunnyorDie.com and "Need for Speed: Shift" I guess.

Clip of the Dead

I'm getting excited about zombies again. Sure, "Diary of the Dead" wasn't as good as anyone of us could have hoped for. Which is why it's so important for "Survival of the Dead" to be good. This is Romero's next zombie flick, and here's a clip that, while not entirely action packed, does give me a glimmer of hope that this movie will be worth my 10 or so dollars per ticket. Check this out, let me know what you think.

Boondock Saints II: All Saints Day Trailer

"Boondock Saints" was a pretty good movie. Not a movie that I thought would get a sequel ten years later, but hey, here is the trailer for the follow up: "Boondock Saints II: All Saint's Day". Seems like both the cast and the writer/director are back for another violent romp. That's what was fun about the first movie. Hope this one doesn't disappoint. Someone does have high hopes for this due to the fact that it's not going straight to DVD, but rather getting a theatrical release. I guess we'll have to wait and see if this sequel can do the original any justice when it comes out later this year. The trailer is helping though. I kind of like. Check it out.

Modern Warfare 2 Multiplayer Video

I can't wait for "Modern Warfare 2" to come out for the XBOX 360. I can easily predict that this game will own my life, much to my wife's chagrin, for the foreseeable future. But, just like the last game, "Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare", I might not get my hands on this until December, when all the fucking kids that play the game over XBOX Live have had time to hone their skills to near impossible to beat. That's the only thing I hate about multiplayer games these days. If you don't get in on the first couple of days after the game comes out, you can't help but feel like a n00b when you finally catch up to everyone else. In any case, the game looks great. Bloody and fast-paced action is what you can expect. Even when the game lags and hosts need to be changed, the video shows a pretty easy transition to the action. I'm already sold on this game. What do the rest of you think?
