If I Could Make a Movie That's All Mine...

"Monty, we need to have a talk. Is this why you were wandering around in a warehouse when Jessie found you? Oh, that's a naughty bunny... a naughty KILLER bunny!"

I found this trailer online for NIGHT OF THE LEPUS and I thought it was just a funny way of saying leopards, like "I'm gonna catch me some lepus" in a southern bayou accent. Like alligatuhs. Anyway, it's TOTALLY NOT! It's about mutant rabbits that attack people, instilling fear of rabbits in the quaint people-of-1970's-America.

Lepus = hare = rabbit = bun bun.

This is netflix's description of the movie: "Fed up with the bunnies hopping across their land, a group of ranchers (including Janet Leigh and DeForest Kelley) attempts to stunt the rabbits' growth with the aid of a cooked-up hormone. But instead of shrinking the bunny population, it only makes the animals larger -- 150 pounds larger, to be exact -- with a newfound appetite for human flesh. Are the ranchers any match for the rabid rabbits' reproductive skills?"

I don't think it's necessary to say that this movie is already in my netflix queue at the tippy top.

Ok, wait, I found more clips.

I'm actually in tears after this one, it's THAT good! I think I'm in love...

I especially like the effect of lower a rabbit down on top of the camera. After all, these are supposed to be the size of a house!

Contact

Ok, I'm going to admit that I really like contact juggling. If I knew how I would totally contact juggle every second of everyday. Go to class: contact juggle, answer the door when the missionaries come around: contact juggle while they talk about Jesus, take a shower: definitely contact juggling. However, once I watched a couple of videos on youtube, I realized that there's definitely a type who do contact juggling... and it's not pretty. Oh David Bowie, oh mostly bald middle-aged Moby-types, why do you have to make me feel icky for liking this? I feel a little sad now...

The Surrealist Compliment Generator is here to help!

Mmmmm... I like this one:

"I must demand your pleasing chin! How it passes there and back again like a leopard searching for its misplaced frontal lobes. "

Oh... and this too:

"You blink thrice warned that I can but think of the eyebrows of Richard Nixon covering a hostess of furry twinkies."

DId Someone Say "Next Stop Robot Eagles?" Well, They Should Have...

Beauty the Bald Eagle has been given a BIONIC BEAK to replace the part shot off by a hunter. How cool is that?
