‘The FP’: dance-movie-action-spoof trailer of the year

I have a secret I need to get off my chest - I love dance films. They’re just so extraordinarily bad yet good at the same time. For all the terrible acting and clunky dialog, you can just zone out and focus on some incredible acrobatic moves or the pretty costumes. Hell, some of them even have decent soundtracks that sound great on a big booming Dolby cinema system (Timbaland’s minimal opus “Bounce” as used in Step Up 2 is one particular example). 

So this is where The FP comes in. I know very little about this film other than the fact that the trailer looks amazing - like a cross between Step Up, Mortal Kombat and Zoolander. In true grind house style, I would go so far as to say the trailer is so good that the film itself feels a bit irrelevant Still, I would definitely watch this if it came up on late night cable TV.

What I can work out, gleamed with a little help from IMDB, is that the film was directed by Brandon and Jason Trost (brothers I presume) and is the second incarnation of the film after a 2007 short, also directed by the brothers. Its about rival gangs doing battle with a Dance Dance Revolution-style video game for control of their local trailer park (Frazier Park, the “FP” of the title). It was definitely made on the cheap and I don’t think it’s supposed to be taken very seriously:

Charlie toots at least a half gram but still has an appetite. It must’ve been that low-grade prison blow.

Charlie, you’re not supposed to put the spoon in your ear.

Vincent Price could even make mildew remover interesting. Well, at least for thirty seconds.
 

 
More spooky salesmanship from Mr Price, after the jump…

CAPTCHAs to keep idiots out of comment threads

Check it out! It’s like a CAPTCHA IQ test.

If Fox Nation implemented something like this, they’d have zero commenters (unless, of course, they made the wrong answers “right”).

What better way to freak the hell out of your house guests than with Dan Witz’s What the %$#@? Goat decal.

The WTF Michael “grate” graphic is backed by 1/8” thick plastic that lifts the art piece off the wall giving it a 3-D quality. 4 self-adhesive, removable 3M mounting squares are included for installation.

The decal sells for $30.00 over at Blick.

Fake but delightfully appealing celebrity endorsed adverts

Anthony is a web / graphic designer and musician who lives in New York. In 2009, Anthony created these rather fine faux adverts on his site Seriously Bleak.

Called Celebrity Endorsed the ads show a selection of strangely alluring and bizarre celebrity endorsed products - I’m all for the Merv Griffen scented trampoline, though several friend’s are torn between Ted Danson’s Siamese hot-dog and Armand Assante’s neck wallet. Whichever is your favorite, I do hope Anthony produces more of these fine celebrity endorsements asap.

Apparently having more pussy than you can handle will get you arrested.

A sample of the horrors lurking among the dark shadows in the doll houses of hell:
