Nude Skydivers: Big Boobs Bloom as Huge Bazongas Bewilder the Bamboobled!
Nude Skydive is a very funny 2 1/2-min. commercial spot directed by Peter Harton for a Danish discount retail company. The topless women are plummeting faster than the prices at Danish web discount retailer Fleggaard in this humorously racy web film! While topless skydiving certainly sounds like it’s interesting enough, I’ve actually posted this because I just love it when a golf or tennis match gets unexpectedly interrupted!
Nude Skydivers: Big Boobs Bloom as Huge Bazongas Bewilder the Bamboobled!
A House, A Home is a narrative music video from the debut album of The Alialujah Choir, directed by Daniel Fickle and produced by Mark Smith. The song tells the story of two imagined characters, an adolescent boy and girl, who were in treatment at a psychiatric hospital. They were both going through that intense experience together, but since they were never allowed to be alone with each other, and the boy could never express his feelings for the girl, his feelings for her became larger than life. One day, when the boy saw the girl leaving the office from her therapy session, he assumed that it was a rendezvous of a different kind and took his own life.
Smith wanted to create a narrative for the video to help the boy who had committed suicide reconcile his past. A few years after the boy’s death, the girl also died of natural causes and was buried next to him. It was Fickle’s idea to continue the story underground. By keeping the obvious graveyard imagery out of the story, it helped to create a lighter mood and leave room for playfulness, which was a counterbalance to the somber tone of the song and lyrics.
The Backwater Gospel: The Undertaker’s Shadow Grimly Creeps Across the Floor
The Backwater Gospel is a frighteningly macabre, gloriously original animated short film directed by Bo Mathhorne, with a team of students at The Animation Workshop in Denmark. The Backwater Gospel is a visual knockout, drenched in grim atmosphere as it tells the story of a town’s growing sense of panic and mayhem, as it awaits the arrival of death’s grim reaper. Now, as long as anyone can remember, the coming of The Undertaker has meant the coming of death. But one day that grim promise fails, and unbearable tension builds as the God-fearing townsfolk of Backwater wait for someone to die.

The Bloody Zombie Western: A Zany High-Powered Puppet Zombie Western
Zombie Western is an amazing stop-motion puppet zombie Western short film directed by the Danish filmmaker Tor Fruergaard. The story line is fairly simple. In an old-timey little saloon in the middle of nowhere, a young boy is picked on by the cowboys, even by his own father, for being weak and useless. But when the first customer of the day ambles strangely into the saloon, the boy thinks that maybe this will be his chance to shine.
With the puppets in place at the saloon, what you end up getting when the Zombies attack is a load more gore and violence than you probably would see in a real live action film. There are swinging cleavers, belts loaded with dynamite and a steam-powered chainsaw that is both ridiculous and inspired. As the film hurtles toward its gruesome climax, it becomes a kind of insane Howdy Doody meets up with The Texas Chain Saw Massacre and Freddy Krueger. This turns out to be one of the funniest short horror films you’ll ever see.

Bob Dylan, who has been painting since the 1960s, will have new paintings and drawings on display at The National Gallery of Denmark September 4th through January 30th. “It was an honor to be asked and a thrilling challenge,” Dylan said in a statement about the collection, called Brazil Series, which he created exclusively for the museum. “I chose Brazil as a subject because I have been there many times and I like the atmosphere.”
Inspired by early 20th century American realism and painters like Matisse, Dylan depicts politicians, gamblers, wine growers, and other denizens of Brazil. The exhibit will feature 40 acrylic paintings and eight drawings. View five of the Brazil Series paintings, plus earlier artwork by Dylan, in the gallery below:
