Eerie proto-slacker eco-dropout paradoxical apocalyptic threnody of a grind/arthouse road movie.

download “Idaho Transfer” on archive.org.

I love it. I hate it. It’s a no nonsense time travel flick. Things get messy, but slowly. No disappearing hands ala Marty McFly.

It’s a rumination on the entropy of life on earth.

It’s still a fairly sound warning to “green” and “eco” types.

It’s even worth a remake perhaps! It’s public domain even.
There’s a group of fans on youtube making music videos from the footage.

Here’s the animated gif version (gotta love archive.org):

Idaho Transfer: The animated GIF edition

The ultimate re-gift.

H & M’s holiday commercials play around with size and proportion and what’s inside of their pastel gift boxes. Some of the boxes have jewelry, others have crowds of tiny party-goers.

One has a human head inside.

The 2 second pitch for this ad might have “Se7en meets Gulliver’s Travels in the Roaring 20′s .” (and throw in a little Michel Gondry for good measure.)

It’s a flash site, so no direct link to the clips …

It’s filed under FILM and I prefer the Version NR. 2, it’s a bit peppier.

Watching it now, pretty good so far.
