Wow. This is a video of a dancing gorilla taken at the Dallas Zoo. So beautiful, so full of life. It doesn't matter whether you say that human animals are like gorillas or that gorillas are like human animals.
If you are ever feeling down in the dumps, just do what this gorilla is doing to celebrate life.
For many years, I was under the impression that the 1959 film, "Plan 9 from Outer Space," was the worst movie of all time. It is very good at being bad: But I was just introduced to "Turkish Star Wars," a move with Spanish subtitles. I don't know anything about whether this movie ever hit the big screen anywhere, but it is quite entertaining for its many failures. It's difficult to think of any aspect of film-making that this movie doesn't fail at. From Wikipedia:
Dünyayı Kurtaran Adam (The Man Who Saved the World) is a 1982 Turkish science fantasy adventure film also known as Turkish Star Warsbecause of its notorious use of unauthorized footage from Star Wars and other movies worked into the film.
Upon its initial release, the film was panned by critics for its incoherent storyline, poor performances, and use of stock footage and music from other films.
Despite this (or possibly due to this), the film has gained a significant cult following over the years. Louis Proyect of Rec Arts Movie Reviews called the film "classic midnight movie fun."[2] Phil Hall of Film Threat gave the film a perfect 5 stars, calling it "jaw-droppingly insane ... a film that makes criticism moot."
Here is "Turkish Star Wars" in its entirety: https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=4441&v=arpH88Mx3z4The Bechdel Test, applied to some of the highest grossing films. The results are categorized by whether the film was written or co-written by women. To pass the test, #1 - Film has at least two women in it. #2 - Who talk to each other, about and #3 - Something besides a man. Yep, it's a pretty low bar. This study shows that when women are more involved as writers, the female characters are more active and interactive.
I just stumbled across Zach the King. Delightful video editing and fun vignettes.
