Ken Cope sent me this link to Pirate Baby's Cabana Battle Street Fight 2006.
He did not tell me to drop acid before watching it, and he could have at least warned me about the epileptic seizures I'd be having near the end (the ending itself, though, is beautiful).
And what's with all the hostility towards cephalopods?

Jerry Coyne has put together a list of his 20 most favorite movies, and invited us all to join in. I can't. I just don't believe in it. There is no such thing as a best movie, just movies that some of us like a lot. I also can't list 20, so you'll have to settle for an idiosyncratic 5 movies that…
Fyodor Dostoyevsky (1821-1881) is arguably the greatest novelist of all time. He cast a long shadow over world literature, and subsequently influenced many great writers, from Hermann Hesse, Marcel Proust and Franz Kafka, to Ernest Hemingway, Gabriel Garcia Marquez and Jack Kerouac.

I don't think Brian Alexander is a bad guy or a misogynist. He writes the Sexploration column for MSNBC, so sure, his job is all about selling sex stories to the public. He even wrote a book about American sexuality. But I don't personally think he has a…
When I first saw the headline, I just shook my head. Then I looked at the picture of the kid - and I really do mean kid. Look at him! He looks like he's 8! Heck, I know adults that don't seem to know the consequences of unprotected sex, but for a 13 yr old and a 15 yr old to have to deal with them…

That was deeply weird.
Thanks!

Yeah!
Good Lord, PZ, is this what grading papers does to you? I was constitutionally unable to watch it to the end. What's the point?
Sheesh, old style video games on speed.... I kept waiting for Ms. PacMan to make an appearance.
It just goes to show that while you can never trust an octopus, a squid is always cool.
Uhmmmmm... slightly political incorrect? I like the exploding pregnant women.
I believe that all the monsters are zombified, so it's not hostility towards cephalopods and pregnant women, it's hostility towards the undead.
And acid? Like the ending of 2001, it's weird enough without needing to deplete your stash, surely?
Wow. Just wow. A video-arcade fever dream, circa 1986. Would have been perfect if he'd used the garish color palette of the genre instead of the B/W of pre-WWII cartoons.
Actually, the first time I saw this, linked from boingboing.net, it was described as being in the style of an side-scroller video game for the early Macintosh. Which, as you recall, had a monochrome screen...
