Expletives Will Follow
Yesterday, Yen sent me an e-mail containing a link to the trailer for a movie called After Last Season. For all I can tell, it's a real movie, shot on 35mm, approved by the MPAA and poised for release sometime this year. Go watch it.
It seems that the response is unanimous. Very few words suitably describe this thing. The subject heading of Yen's e-mail was 'Holy Fuck' - and similar responses were yielded after I sent the link to various friends. A sampling:
"Oh my God, dude! What the fucking fuck!???" - Bryan Poyser"HOLY MOTHERFUCK." - Michael Tully (who's since written about it himself)
"I am so confused by it?!*#^$%#& What could this movie be?!!!!!!" - Amy Seimetz
I've watched the trailer about ten times now, and have yet to tire of it. It is so beyond logic in its construction that it essentially reinvents itself anew upon each viewing. The sad thing, of course, is that the brilliance likely ends here: either this is an entirely intentional joke which I am doing my part in turning into a viral phenomenon, or it's just a happy accident in service of something truly unwatchable. Either way, it made my day.

NOTES
While some scenes required no elaborate settings, other scenes required good coopearation amng the actors and film crew. After the actors and film crew completed their work, a team of special effects technicians and a group of computer animators along with other talented people in post production worked over several months to solve technical problems and bring "After Last Season" to life.
