A short gif that’s a lovely homage to surrealist cinema from The Vanished World of Gloves (1982) by Jirí Barta via frenchtwist via gifmovie:

Using an array of gloves in different styles and from different historical periods, the film is a short history of the cinema - from silent movies via pastiches of Buñuel and Fellini and Close Encounters of the Third Kind to a futurist junkyard where tin cans become animated police cars in a city of urban decay.

The great Christopher Lee as Duc de Richleau in The Devil Rides Out (1968), one of Lee’s favorite films. He has performed in more film roles than anyone in history: 275 since 1946. Including such classic film series as the Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, not to mention Police Academy. Oops. Did I mention it? He also played Dracula about a dozen times. He is the best.

My new laughingsquid post is about pioneering filmmaker Georges Méliès who is featured in the film “Hugo”. The post includes six of his films, including the most famous (“A Trip To The Moon”) in all its restored glory with a fab new soundtrack by Air.

Touch Of Evil
The New York Times Magazine has produced yet another , hopefully annual, set of video portraits of some of this year’s best actors (this time directed by Alex Prager). Last year it was a gallery of “classic film types” and this year it’s “cinematic villains,” featuring Brad Pitt as “The Madman,” Rooney Mara as “The Sociopath,” Gary Oldman as “The Menacing Dummy,” Mia Wasikowska (and this portrait is my favorite) as “The Home Wrecker,” Ryan Gosling as “The Invisible Man,” George Clooney as “The Tyrant,” Viola Davis as “The Vengeful Caretaker,” Kirsten Dunst as “The Siren,” Michael Shannon as “The Tycoon,” Jessica Chastain as “The Fire Starter,” Jean Dujardin as “The Hothead,” Adepero Oduye as “The Outlaw,” and Glenn Close as “The Vamp.”

Love it.

The stars of today as classic film villains. Awesome.

Freaks poster. Directed by Tod Browning, 1932. This is a film I cannot ever get enough of. I could watch it over and over- and it never ceases to amuse or amaze me.
