Every once in a while, you come across something on YouTube that shatters your reality, and thwarts your attempts to reconstruct your fragile headspace, as you keep dwelling on how creepy it all is.
What follows is the Last Year At Marienbad of local TV commercials: multiple layers of hazy meaning, a vast array of personal interpretations to take away, a cascading fountain of juicy mystery.
It also seems like the kind of spot that would be playing on the fictional cable station in Cronenberg’s Videodrome (during the commercial breaks for “Samurai Dreams”!). Anyway, enough chatter — take a feverish gander:
There’s so many haunting individual moments in this one commercial that it almost does me no good to describe them, for repeat viewing and discovering each subtle shade of wrong is the best part! However, I have to give it up for the moment that comes at 0:04. And 0:20. AND 0:28!!!!
Let’s also not forget that, just as an anonymous commenter said on Videogum’s post about this same commercial back in ’09, “the Girl on the box for the pierogies looks like she is taking a dump.”

CLICK HERE TO BUY TIX, WATCH TRAILERS & GET MORE INFO ON CINEFAMILY’S “ROCKVEMBER” SERIES happening throughout November!
The Thanksgiving season, aside from the pleasures of coming together with friends and family, is a perfect zone for indulgence — and here in the office, we can think of no better way to have a great time just for the sake of having one than with a slate of classic rock concert films! It’s time for ROCKVEMBER! It all starts this Thursday, with a double bill highlighting the godfathers of the whole thing: the impossibly cool Let The Good Times Roll (the ’73 “reunion concert” featuring Fifties heavies like Bo Diddley, Little Richard and Fats Domino) and the split-screen masterpiece Elvis On Tour, showcasing The King at his godly post-comeback peak!
Future Rockvember titles for the month include archival 35mms of AC/DC: Let There Be Rock (with a print flown in all the way from Australia!), Pink Floyd: Live At Pompeii and a Thanksgiving night members-only potluck/The Last Waltz screening!

DOWNLOAD: “Skidoo” (iPhone ringtone)
One of the most notorious moments in the legendary whack-a-doo late ’60s Otto Preminger film Skidoo (which Cinefamily had the pleasure to screen a few months ago) is when Jackie Gleason takes an LSD trip while inside prison. This happens to be one of the freakier drug trip scenes in all of Hollywood history, buoyed by Preminger’s real-life experiments with acid.
In-between floating mathematics and Groucho Marx’s head plunked down on the head of a screw, Jackie moans. Moans A LOT. Quite beautifully, in fact.

CLICK HERE TO BUY TICKETS FOR “BOLLYWOOD BLOODBATH”, FRIDAY, OCTOBER 14TH, 8PM @ THE CINEFAMILY!
This Friday, October 14th, Cinefamily once again visits one of it’s favorite stomping grounds: the weird, wild and wooly world of Hindi horror: a phantasmagorical boiling cauldron of ectoplasmic ghost stories, remakes of Hollywood fright fare jam-packed with musical numbers, crispy-fried effects designed to gouge your third eye — and of course, truly incredible soundtracks. And the good folks at B-Muisc/Finders Keepers Records’ new compilation BOLLYWOOD BLOODBATH covers the as yet unheard sounds from these movies’ music scores. Here’s a sneak preview, enjoy! Take a gander at an excerpt from the compilation’s liner notes:
“After what seems like a thousand years of blood, sweat, tears (and a lot more blood) the zombified disc disciples at Finders Keepers (Kreepers!) unveil one of their most exquisite, exhumed, ectoplasmic, and existentially essential collections yet. This musical mausoleum of malformed freak funk and dreadful dis-cothèque pop has been resurrected from the maligned cinematic subculture of Bombay’s bloodthirsty horror film industry, and witnesses the cognoscenti of the Bollywood pop scene at their most creative, destructive and experimentally effective.
Bollywood Bloodbath features India’s finest composers, such as Bappi Lahiri, R.D Burman, Sonik Omi, Sapan Jogmohan and Laxmikant Pyarelal making the kind of radical risk-rock that would under normal circumstances have studio security escorting these overworked maestros off set for a well-earned break or a relaxing exorcism. Take all the most oblique, indigenous characteristics of your favorite Bollywood musicals then condense them into a bubbling serum and watch the Jekyll and Hyde transformation commence as these A-list composers create bloodcurdling B-Music for the films they never thought the outernationals would see or hear.

CLICK HERE TO BUY TICKETS FOR “AN EVENING WITH PABLO FERRO”, TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 27TH, 8PM @ THE CINEFAMILY!
Our guest blogger Marcus Herring joins us for another post on one of his favorite filmic subjects! Marcus, take it away…
THE TRAILER IS BETTER THAN THE MOVIE: THE LONG, EXTRAORDINARY CAREER OF PABLO FERRO
Once upon a time, it was quite common to hear someone remark that their favorite thing about going out to the movies was watching the trailers — or “the previews”, as they used to say, before the Internet made everyone more savvy with industry terminology. Now, I don’t want to pass any overt judgement on the current state of cinema, but I just don’t hear anyone make that comment anymore. One thing I do hear these days is that the trailers “show the whole movie.” That’s debatable, but one thing’s for sure: most modern trailers follow a highly predictable formula.
Not all trailers used to be better back in “the good old days.” Some old trailers are real duds, but many achieve a kind of high art unto themselves. I bet you can think of a couple of ’70s trailers off the top of your head that are actually better than the movie. Exorcist II? Perhaps Zabriskie Point? I prefer not to speculate that this phenomenon is a result of the movie just not being very good, as there is an art to cutting an amazing trailer, and some editors really have a knack for it. It is undeniable that there was an experimental zeitgeist that pervaded the ’60s and ’70s — which led some film editors to produce some really awesome trailers.
It’s uncommon to know who cut what trailer. There are never on-screen credits for them specifically, so it’s more or less an anonymous task. There is at least one artist, however, who really made a name for himself with some of the most creative film trailers ever assembled: Pablo Ferro. Pablo’s more popularly known for his work as a master title sequence designer (Dr. Strangelove and The Thomas Crown Affair among countless others) and occasionally an actor as well (Greaser’s Palace), but Pablo also crafted a number of the most memorable trailers of all time.

Sometimes the “hiding in plain sight” thing catches even The Cinefamily by surprise. The rather incredible Internet Archive (found at archive.org) is a humungous repository of free knowlegde that’s different from Wikipedia in that it is an ever-expanding library of deposited materials (rather than a living encyclopedia), all free of charge. Its video section — in which you can either download items or stream them — contains a bounty of weird ephemeral stuff. I just discovered a treasure trove of “The Computer Chronicles”, a long-running PBS show based out of Northern California, about the evolution of the computing revolution. I’m a sucker for old-school tech, as I’m sure many of you reading are as well, so this was quite a find. One episode in particular caught my eye, from 1984, on new computer games.
Watch the entire episode of “The Computer Chronicles: Video Gaming”!

Every once in a while here in the Cinefamily office, we receive an unsolicited piece of…well, “stuff” that we’re at a loss to fully comprehend.
About a week and a half ago, Suki answered the office phone, and was puzzled by the person on the other end who wanted to “work with us”, and wanted our mailing address so that he could send us “a unique opportunity.” The fellow didn’t want to describe what he had in mind (of course), so we immediately put it out of our minds the second she was off the phone.
Imagine our surprise when, one week later, a printed-out version of the image below appeared in our physical mailbox, encased inside a PICTURE FRAME.
CLICK HERE TO SEE A LARGER VERSION OF THE SCAN!
We’re not entirely sure who on earth this kind of thing would actually work on — the picture-frame-in-the-mail thing, I mean, not the magic trick thing. Dude must’ve spent at least $10 on the framing and mailing it to us, unless he found the frame at a garage sale.

CLICK HERE FOR TIX TO SATURDAY, AUGUST 27th’s “DOLLY PARTON ALL-NITE 9-TO-5′ER” @ CINEFAMILY, feat. 9 To 5, The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas and Rhinestone!
It shouldn’t come as a surprise that a self-described feminista (one who integrates both new and old school feminist ideas, yet with a sense of humor and sass) would cling to Dolly Parton as a symbol of inspiration for women, but allow me to explain.
Dolly Parton is a strong-willed, strong-minded woman. She is unapologetic about the way she presents herself (which is particularly important for busty ladies everywhere, real or fake) and often jokes about how trashy she appears (her words, not mine.) In addition to her real world strength, Dolly portrays strong women in film as well. From the “touch my ass one more time and I will strangle you” ‘tude of 9 To 5 to the “I own my sexuality” approach in Best Little Whorehouse…, she is uncompromising in being a positive role model. This is a quality that is exceedingly and increasingly rare. One of my number-one frustrations with the current state of cinema is how women are portrayed. Being taken seriously is already an uphill battle for women everywhere, without the added difficulty of women in movies being portrayed as braying nags, psycotic basket cases or helpless bunny rabbits. Dolly has rejected these roles and has portrayed women who stand up for themselves, who stick to what they think is right, and who never apologize for being a woman.
There is a reason that so many drag queens look to Dolly as an example of WOMAN; to me, Dolly embodies woman at her deepest core. If you attack her for being a caricature of femininity, you are missing the point. It is not about what she looks like — plain or garish — but the ideas she propels.
Above all, she is a power house of a performer of screen and stage. So here’s to you Dolly, from one feminista to another. Keep fighting the good fight!

CLICK HERE FOR TIX TO CUT CHEMIST’S “TUNNEL VISION” SHOW AT THE HOUSE OF BLUES ON WEDNESDAY, AUG. 17TH (W/ VISUALS BY CINEFAMILY’S TOM FITZGERALD)!
There’s a very special event happening tomorrow I want to tell you about. Tom Fitzgerald — one of our main programmers and practically a Cinefamily founding father — is performing down the street tomorrow, Wednesday the 17th at the House Of Blues, as part of Cut Chemist’s “Tunnel Vision” show. There’s more than a couple reasons you should check this out, the very first of which is Tom’s completely awesome trailer for the show, found below!
Since you probably know who Cut Chemist is (and that’s already a good reason to go, but if you’re unfamilliar, click here), let me tell you a little more about Tom, of whom we’re all extremely proud. There’s no one else who’s had more influence on the feel, tone, and content of Cinefamily than Tom. None of us at CInefamily had any background as film programmers before we started, but it’s no coincidence that the person who took the quickest to this new gig, and the person I’ve learned the most from, was someone from a completely different background: DJ culture. That’s Tom, who’s been working as Cut Chemist’s visual guy for years.

CLICK HERE FOR TIX TO OUR AUGUST 27TH ALL-NITE DOLLY PARTON MARATHON!
This is an event that we’ve been waiting almost a whole year to “bust” out, so to speak (Ed. Suki’s joke, not mine!), and hoooo doggie, this is going to be one serious party! Not only are we screening on 35mm three of Dolly’s funniest and wildest feature films (9 To 5, The Best Little Whorehouse in Texas, and the must-be-seen-to-be-believed Rhinestone, starring her and Sylvester Stallone), in addition to some stupendous Dolly television rarities, but we really are starting the whole shebang at 9PM, and carrying on ’til the break of dawn — 5AM, that is! Our back patio party is also going to be killer, with a bedazzling craft station (make sure to bring items to bedazzle!), and a “Dolly” hair-teasing station.
There’s a reason why so many drag queens (and real women as well) choose Dolly as a figure to emulate: she’s an inspirational, brassy female character who plays equally strong female characters in movies. Plus, her philanthropic work is fabulous.
Check out our freshly-minted trailer for the whole night below!
