Bulbo & Mish Mash

I found out about Bulbo through the Wormtown.org website and, boy was I psyched! 'Cuz Bulbo looks like an oldskool Steamboat Willie / Mickey Mouse black & white cartoon character having cutesy adventures a la Felix the Cat & Mickey Mouse... I've only looked at one of the several Bulbo cartoons that are online (the throughout time one...), but the retro vaudville rinky dink music combined with the very stylish black & white Flash animation mak for great viewing... These things really deserve tv play or maybe to be "shorts" before films in the theatre. Hmmm....

After checking out Bulbo, I noticed that there was a link to this thing called Mish Mash Media where I found even MORE funny Flash cartoons... One that I found to be especially funny / awful / REALLY funny was Hard Drinkin' Lincoln which really paints our beloved former president in a bad light. Upon further investigation of the MMM site, I found out that some of these guys' cartoons HAVE appeared on MTV, but y'know, he really deserves more acclaim for his work...

Check out Bulbo for yourself. or
go take a looksie at the Mish Mash site!

Pulp Phantom

Take Pulp Fiction and Star Wars: Episone One and merge them together in the form of a "flash" cartoon on the web and THAT is what Pulp Phantom is all about. Boba Fett and Darth Maul play the roles of Travolta and Jackson, cruising around in their spaceship, talking about how spice is different in different planets (like the cheeseburger conversation in Pulp), etc etc. In Pulp Phantom, it's Jabba the Hut who is the Ving Rhames character. I haven't watched all ten of the ongoing episodes (probably more in the works), but this is a hillarious and well produced project that you've gotta check out for yourself.

The whole FLASH thing is allover the place now. There are great animations to watch & interact with at Cartoon Network and Stan Lee's Scuzzle web page to name just two. Geekspeak will keep it's eyes and ears open to reviewing film & video on the web as well as in front of the boob tube and on the big screen.

Check out Pulp Phantom for yourself.

League of Gentlemen

I've been watching the ads for this show (and Comedy Central's other newcomer Strip Mall) for weeks now and finally Monday 10:30 PM was here! Very strange... Obscure, out of the way little English town/village. Oddball characters and concepts at every turn. One's very own concepts of what "funny" is are tested left and right. Like many of Comedy Central's offerings, this is one of those laugh-inwardly-and-wonder-why kind of shows. Like Upright Citizen's Brigade (did they get cancelled? are they in production?) whose spot got taken by League, I sat and watched and thought alot of stuff was funny, but I mostly wondered how something so f***ed up got on tv in the first place. Upright's tagline was always "seriously f***ed up sketch comedy" and League falls right in line with this running theme. It reminded me of a more dark & sinister Are You Being Served? meets Monty Python meets the movie Delicatessen what with League's bleak lighting and throwback-in-time kind of feel. I'll be glued to the tube on Monday nights watching & waiting to see what other nonsense this town will get itself into just by its own twisted nature.

Strip Mall falls into the same category as Upright and League except that it's on at 10:30 PM on Sunday nights and has a more candy-colored, campy cartoon feel to it. And rightfully so with Julie Brown (not "Downtown", the "Homecoming Queen's Got A Gun" Julie Brown) heading up the cast of no-names, but very funny talents just the same. as the title suggests, the series takes place in a strip mall of various stores and businesses and as the first episode concludes we wake up from a daze of silliness only to realize that there's alot of sex, violence and corniness going on, too... Well worth a half hour of your time... Visit the Comedy Central website.

Twin Falls Idaho

Chantal and I went to go see this movie at Clark University on a cold pre-Halloween night in Worcester. I had read very little about the movie and only really knew that it was somehow about siamese/conjoined twins. It turned out to be alot more that that... First off, it was a very dark, slow moving film... kinda like Eraserhead crossed with City of the Lost Children and Bladerunner... Alot of old stuff, old clothes, old images, nostalgic icons... remember back to Brazil where the movie was futuristic, but still had this old, set in the 30s / 40s feel? Same thing here...

Without giving too much of the plot away... Twin Falls Idaho is about conjoined twins Francis & Blake Falls who are staying at a fleabag hotel on Idaho St. in NYC, hence the movie's title. Penny, a novice prostitute / call girl enters into their lives and thus we are exposed to the utter loneliness and desperation and exquisite beauty, yet insane torture of the Falls brothers existence.

Check out the official Twin Falls Idaho website for more info on the cast, plot, and even clips from the movie that you can download.
