Harmony Korine’s Spring Breakers has a release date — March 22nd, da-da-dum. It also has this neat new poster as seen on the Vulture. Did you forget what it is? Did you forget that a shirtless James Franco will blast “Britney Spears’ ‘Everytime’ on a white piano at the beach as the girls dance around him […]

This brilliant, simple 8-bit web game allows you to play through one of Quentin Tarantino’s most beloved sequences: Kill Bill, Volume 1’s “Crazy 88” fight scene, in which Uma Thurman’s Beatrix Kiddo hacks and slashes her way through a seemingly endless stream of sharply-dressed opponents.

Sorry you didn’t get exactly what you want […]

A review of today in ANIMAL so far: rap music, art-damaged punk, and vaguely unsettling, abstract video works. Now, for something that combines all three: noise-rap crew Death Grips created this 12-minute, mostly silent film to accompany “Come Up and Get Me,” the leadoff track of their latest album, NO LOVE DEEP WEB. The film’s moody […]

Stop teasing. Stop it right now. Stop teasing, David. There are so many ardent Twin Peaks fans around the world crossing their legs in anticipation right now, because they don’t want their non-David Lynch-geek coworkers to see how excited they are… in their pants. And hearts. And Bob-possessed souls, naturally. Rumor has it that Twin Peaks creators David […]
