The Monster of Nix.
I can’t say that I’d heard of The Monster of Nix before today, but I definitely won’t be forgetting it anytime soon (and thanks to /Film for sharing). The short film, which should be out any day now (spring 2011), is the work of Dutch filmmaker and artist Rosto, the talent behind the online graphic novel Mind My Gap.
You’ll immediately notice in the below teaser for The Monster of Nix how insane Rosto’s character designs are. That crow-like thing with human hands for feet is pure, unadulterated nightmare fuel. And that is most certainly Tom Waits’ gravelly voice providing the voiceover; Nix also features the voice talents of Terry Gilliam, Charles Hubbell and, awesomely, The Residents. If you don’t know about The Residents, then read up. After you watch this bizarre beast of a trailer, that is.
Went to
Bridesmaids
last night. Funnier than I expected. Chris O'Dowd is adorable and reminded me of an Irish version of my husband, so I was totes in love with his character. The breakout star is elissa McCarthy. Hilarious. I thought they were going to go wioth Fat Girl = sexually frustrated and angry, but they didn't. Yay.
And the
federal marshal
is her husband IRL!
That makes it 100 times more cool!
Saw Thor. Would not have complained if he'd had his shirt off more.
Also, can't wait for the clash of egos between him and Iron Man.
THE GOD OF THUNDER DOES NOT NEED A SHIRT.
Sorry. Can't stop saying that. (I know he didn't say it, but it just feels right to me.) Because -- DAYUM, son.
(still shoulda been Johann)
Hmmph.
He would have been a fine-looking Thor, definitely.
I wouldn't kick Chris Hemsworth and his hammer out of bed, though.

Kind of uncanny valley for me. They tried too hard to make it look like the comic.
