Tarantino Gets a Taste of His Own Post-Modern Medicine
Filed under: Fandom », Quentin Tarantino », Trailers and Clips »
James Hyman is a DJ, turntablist and music supervisor who built a name for himself in Europe and around the world by creating a series of mash-up albums combining movie clips, dialogue quotes, and pop songs. Following the release of a James Bond/ 007 mix in June 2004, Hyman mounted his most ambitious project to date, a single-disc masterpiece entitled Pulp Mixin', a dizzying blend of Quentin Tarantino's dialogue and movie music set against the backdrop of the hottest pop music of the day. Not content to relegate his recording to a purely stereoscopic assault, Hyman recently announced that he is currently assembling a feature-length film that will make Tarantino's own genre mash-ups look as complicated as a kid combining two colors of play-doh.
Specifically, Hyman plans to use not only music videos and film clips from the samples he originally employed for his Pulp Mixin' CD, but throw in some new ones as well, and then dig up obscure performances from bands included on Tarantino's eclectic soundtracks in order to combine them all into a blitzkrieg mosaic of movie references and music cues. Provisionally titled the James Hyman / Quentin Tarantino Movie Mash-Up, you can check out the trailer after the jump.
Mash-Up Goodness: The Big Wazowski
Filed under: Animation », Comedy », Fandom »
Yeah, I know -- the trailer mash-up thing is getting a little old. Frankly, I blame the gay cowboys. That movie comes out, and suddenly everyone who has ever appeared on screen is being edited to be even gayer than before. Sure, some of them were good -- great, even -- but some were pretty pathetic, just throwing the Brokeback Mountain score behind images of men, and figuring that would suffice. (Just so you know, people, it doesn't. We need pathos and longing looks with our sad music!) So, here's the good news: No one in The Big Wazowski is gay! Hooray for that. Honestly, the story in this Monsters, Inc./The Big Lebowski mash-up isn't very coherent, but cartoon mouths that really look like they're saying things like "The Dude abides" are fundamentally funny, which makes the thing much more watchable than it has any right to be. Plus, I watched The Big Lebowski last night, so I'm probably very Dude-sensitive right now. Still, it's worth watching, especially if you're struggling to get back into the swing of being at work and need distractions.
