In this clip, Tim and Eric are played by Will Ferrell and John C Reilly.
It’s very Tim and Ericky – funny, odd, unsettling and a bit too long.

Save It
Made for the Go Green 48 Hour Film Challenge, and mostly shot on Earth.
The theme was “Save the Planet”. I think we managed to do just that. We’re all still here, aren’t we? You’re welcome.
A Bear Film
Aw.
Free Mini-Zine – The 7 Fold Path
Writers’ Block ran a zine workshop the other night. We made around 25 daft little homemade publications, on subjects as diverse as film editing, stegosauri and correct fez deployment. And I made this one. It’s yours to download, print and assemble yourself, should you want to (you totally want to!):
For the extremely intricate and complicated zine-assembly instructions, check this page out (basically, you’ll need scissors and folding skillz). You’ll find templates for making your own there, too.
Mini zines are fun! Look forward to seeing yours soon!
Quantum Thoughts
Sword & Sorcery EP
Isn’t this trailer gorgeous and intriguing? I’m not 100% sure what it’s selling, but if it’s a game I’ll play it, and if it’s biscuits I’ll eat ’em.
The trailer, by Superbrothers, features the music of Jim Guthrie, music created using MTV Music Generator on the PlayStation. Here’s a previous collaboration between Guthrie and Superbrothers, The Children of the Clone. I LIKE it. There’s a nice interview about the collaboration here: ifc.com
The Unwanted Heart
At the beginning of February we travelled down to London to take part in the Shine Shorts 48 Hour Film Challenge. The theme we got given was “love”, and we had a monkey costume lying around, so we made this.
The music is by Fyfe Dangerfield off of Guillemots. Swoon! The tune he came up with, “Monkey Love”, was a perfect fit for the dreamy, fairy tale vibe we were going for.
Marley and Me
Original one-sheet poster for the Owen Wilson film “Marley and Me” (2009), painted by Gus Hughes. Dismissing studio complaints that the poster was not particularly representative of the film, Hughes reportedly said: “Look, I drew the fecking dog, didn’t I? And if your stupid fecking film doesn’t have a lighthouse, the eyes of God and a giant fecking worm in it that’s not my fault, is it? I didn’t direct the fecking thing, did I?”.
Hughes is currently in negotiations to direct “Sister Act 3: Big Worms!”.
Don Herzfeldt’s Rejected
Another wrong ‘un. The first five minutes trade off the same punchline, which is ok ‘cos it’s a funny one, then just as things start to look like they’re running out of steam it goes all bugfuck disturbing. It’s entertainingly horrific!
Weapons For War
This is jolly. The album, Confetti, is jolly all the way through, too. It has an Annuals/Animal Collective sunny day woozy psychedelia thing going on. It hums like a drowsy bumble bee, which is nice on a cold night like tonight.
