Sesame Street: Old School
A mood-disordered green hairy homeless person hanging out with a gay worm, a bird who lives in a vacant lot in Harlem, hallucinating that his best friend is a woolly mammoth, children going home with a strange man named Bob for "milk and cookies". A monster smoking a pipe while hosting a TV show - then eating the pipe.
Official Festival Selections
Dragging one's ass out of bed might be necessary for the film festival, even if you do it Schembri-style in a pair of trackies and a matching snarl. But there is another option (not for you, Schembri, you've made your bed so, um, you know).
Our friends at Siren Visual released a little guide outlining their particularly bizarre and awesome porn-meets-samurai-meets-nerd catalogue.
Angela-A (2005)
Did you think that Amelie was good, but too girly? Or wish It's A Wonderful Life starred a supermodel? Were you curious about arthouse classic Wings Of Desire but always - and understandably - fell asleep fifteen minutes in? Meet Luc Besson's Angel-A.
Besson has said that he'll no longer be working as a director, and rewatching masterpieces like Leon and The Fifth Element highlights what a shame that is.
The Twilight Zone: Original Series (Season One)
Before The X-Files made conspiracy nerds into countercultural heroes in the 90s, you would whistle the doo-DOO-doo-DOO of The Twilight Zone theme for easy cultural shorthand that something was eerie, uncanny, or just too damn coincidental. From 1959 through to 1964 - before the show had even adopted that familiar theme - the so-called "fifth dimension" of The Twilight Zone was the best thing on TV.
Charles and Ray Eames DVD boxette
If you missed the brief Eames homage as part of the Design Festival earlier on this year, you can now own a copy of the six volume DVD boxette.
Husband and wife team Charles and Ray Eames were arguably the 20th century’s most powerful design partnerships and multitasking furniture designers, architects, artists and film makers.
Degrassi Junior High Series 1
"I used to work at this convenience store, and on Sunday mornings the only thing that kept me from gutting the customers in a sleepy rage was Degrassi Junior High." Kevin Smith (Clerks, Dogma).
When the man behind two of the world's best ever Indie flicks gives a TV series such a rap, you know it's a good body of work.
