[Random Cool] Portugal Wins With This Incredible 'Evil Dead' Print Ad!
May 18th 2013, 15:10

I feel like a lot of advertisers have lost focus on what advertising is. Many of the ads we see today just go through the motions, so much so that we literally block them out as they’re blasting across our small/big screens. I went to school for advertising, which is why I’m so incredibly sensitive to how something is being sold to me.

“9, the Creative Shop” out of Portugal has shared an extremely impressive print ad for Fede Alvarez’s Evil Dead, which was placed into various newspapers back in April. Title Evil Dead: The Night of the Living Dead in Portugal, the poster was placed on the Obituaries page with a bunch of empty slots where the deceased announcements used to remain. Now that the dead are living, there’s no need for obituaries. “Clever girl,” as Muldoon would say.

What are some of the most memorable ads you’ve seen lately? This is a good exercise to show you how good/bad of a job they’re doing…

Bloody Disgusting: [Saturday Morning Cartoons] Revisiting the Awful “Little Shop”

[Saturday Morning Cartoons] Revisiting the Awful "Little Shop"
May 18th 2013, 15:27

Saturday morning cartoons were hotter than ever in 1991, which is why there are literally a plethora of pilots and single-seasoned shows that failed to make it to a second round.

Such the case with the god awful “Little Shop,” Fox’s attempt at a cartoon based on Little Shop of Horrors, featuring Seymour and the now brunette Audrey as children.

Says Wiki, the concept of the adaptation is credited to Ellen Levy and Mark Edward Edens, and the series was produced by Tom Tataranowicz. The horror elements in previous versions of the story, in which characters are eaten by the plant, are toned down for children in this series.

We’ve added the first episode from the failed first season below for your Saturday Morning Cartoon special. Next week, we promise to get you something awesome.

Wiki explains that the show followed “self-proclaimed nerd Seymour Krelborn, an adolescent boy who works in a flower shop, keeps a pet Venus Flytrap named Junior. Junior sprouted from a 200 million year-old seed and has the ability to talk and hypnotize people. Only Seymour is aware of Junior’s abilities. The flower shop is owned by stodgy Mr. Mushnik, whose daughter Audrey is the object of Seymour’s affections. Audrey, however, does not seem to reciprocate his feelings. Buck-toothed Paine Driller, a neighborhood bully, continuously targets Seymour.

Episodes focused on the pubescent exploits of the leads and frequently featured a moral. They also featured a couple of musical numbers per episode. Consistent with the “urban” persona of the plant in the musical, Audrey Junior raps in the series during his numbers, and speaks in a hip-hop dialect. Also featured are a trio of singing flowers reminiscent of Crystal, Ronette, and Chiffon (the three chorus girls in the musical).

'Star Trek Into Darkness' On $80M Pace After $21M Friday at Box Office
May 18th 2013, 15:51

"Star Trek Into Darkness" cruised to more than $21 million at the box office on Friday and J.J Abrams' space epic sequel is on pace for an extended weekend total of around $80 million.

That's big, but on the low end of analysts' expectations and under the $100 million that distributor Paramount had hoped to see. Saturday and Sunday will be critical, and the film received an "A" CinemaScore from first-night audiences, so word of mouth should be strong.

'Fast & Furious 6' Opening Day Universal's Best-Ever in U.K.
May 18th 2013, 15:57

"Fast & Furious 6" raced out of the gate as the No. 1 film in the U.K. and Ireland on Friday, posting Universal's biggest opening day ever in that market with $4.6 million.

That figure beats the $3.6 million that the fourth film in the franchise, "Fast & Furious," opened with in 2009 and is the year's second-best opening day in the U.K., just behind the $4.7 million of "Iron Man 3."

Warner Bros. rolled out "The Great Gatsby" on Thursday in the U.K., and that film has taken in $2.5 million.

Watch: Trailer For Alejandro Jodorowsky's First Film In 23 Years, 'The Dance Of Reality'
May 18th 2013, 16:01

For all the Goslings and Grays and Gatsbys on the Croisette, for some, the biggest news at Cannes this year is the return of Alejandro Jodorowsky. The French/Chilean filmmaker, the man behind cult hits "El Topo" and "The Holy Mountain," hasn't made a film for 23 years, since 1990's "The Rainbow Thief," but is all over Cannes; a documentary about his ill-fated attempt to film "Dune" is premiering, and his return to directing with "The Dance Of Reality" just screened this morning. An adaptation of his own memoir that's drawing comparisons to Fellini, we haven't yet caught the film, but the word is pretty good (read Indiewire's take here). And to tide us, and yourselves over, a new trailer for the film has arrived from French distributors Pathe, and it looks very, very promising indeed, not least for Jodorowsky fans. Take a look below.
