Thank goodness it’s Friday.
Take a break, have a libation, relax and enjoy some slightly twisted humor right up our alley. Or guttery curb.
In Shaun Higton‘s short film, What’s on Your Mind?, Scott Thomson uses Facebook status updates to embellish his life– offering some not-so-nice karmic outcomes. It’s a pitch-black parable about life sinking into a tailspin and wanting the world to think otherwise.
If other people like our lives, does it matter that we don’t? Our hero doesn’t seem to think so, and continues to use Facebook to delude his friends and ultimately himself.
As many of us can attest, validation on social media can be incredibly addictive. Likes, Comments, Retweets, and Follows have become a kind of drug for the Millennial Age, so consider this a cautionary tale for the digital times.
Gunfighter, the surreal short film below seen best on your large screen setting for its superb production value, shows how life in a western setting can change dramatically– thanks to the malicious influence of one smart-ass narrator. The voice reveals all the thoughts from the villagers, dragging them from happy times at the saloon watering hole into a true ballet of death.
Eric Kissack’s Django Unchained-like film features the voice of Nick Offerman. And if you never thought of this before, it truly highlights why a world without secrets would end up very, very badly for everyone.
Except, of course, for “Sally, the itchy…” Well, let’s just use the word hoochie coochie tainted fallen angel here. Life is like that.
Enjoy.
