with my great big cake

tomorrow, my friend and i are seeing the french kissers which is meant to be a summary of current teenage culture. its about a pair of teenagers 'far removed from the cool crowd' ( at this comment in the film review on television, my mother turned to me and said, 'oh you should really see that'. what is she implying?). the films in french. which makes you feel classier and arty seeing it. the film could be some terrible, twee chick flick and you just say i am seeing 'le cheval et le pain' and people would think 'wow, what a cool person'. or maybe not, especially because you're seeing a film called the horse and the bread.

Italian Spiderman!

A few days back my brother rang up and informed me of "Italian Spiderman" the amazing internet hit (t-shirts, youtube front pages, soundtracks from record companies, over 10 million youtube hits), that, shock horror! Originated from his university, Flinders, in Adelaide. Its a parody of all those terrible Italian movies from the 60's, its a bit bad taste but hilarious. And, its from Adelaide, now if your not convinced now I don't think you ever will be.

It started off with a tiny little trailer featuring this movie namely, "Italian Spiderman" and from there the hits rose so much that the group, Alrugo Entertainment decided to make a whole series. With the growing popularity they were offered a number of deals and feautred on television all around the world, including Italy. There is a fictional plot to the story that it is a true film that was deemed unviewable or such by the Italians and therefore unable to be shown in cinemas. From there the film was lost at sea but then to be finally recovered by the people at Alrugo Entertainment and broadcasted to the world via youtube.

Heres the clip that started it all





This faux trailer was created in a day as a final screen production for Flinder University. It achieved its vintage style by being shot on a genuine 1970's camera.

Strangely, there are a lot of people who believe it to be a real movie from the 1960's. Particularly demonstrated by those who comment on youtube "finally, the movie can be released to the world".

The Feeling

This is a film I created for the PDM unit "What is significant in my life?" and that being music I created this.





Without realising I created my own "sleeve face" interpretation plus adding product placement as obvious as a Pussy Cat Doll clip. Besides that I've referenced a lot of artists, music themes and bits and bobs that you can try and figure out. Have fun with that.
