A Surreal Breakfast

Here's the delightfully unsettling animated short Breakfast from the surrealist Czech animator Jan Svankmajer. The piece is one third of a trilogy, also including lunch, and dinner.

I've dug his work ever since I accidentally stumbled upon his creepy version of Alice in Wonderland on TV as a shorty.

Pet Store: A La Banksy

Banksy's October pop up Village PetStore & Charcoal Grill in NY

Since this is something that deserved to be well documented before it disappeared at the end of Oct, they commissioned filmmaker, Seth Brau, to capture the experience (especially the details!) for those of us too far to visit in the flesh.

R.I.P Rudy.

Rudy Ray Moore AKA Dolemite passed away on Friday (October 17) due to complications from diabetes.

Moore began his career as a stand-up comedian in the late 1960s, and first gained international notoriety after co-writing and starring in the 1975, signature blaxpoitation film Dolemite.

Through characters like Queen Bee and the fast-talking, street rapping Dolemite, the movie has gone on to achieve cult status and provided a blueprint to assist emcees like Snoop Dogg and Too $hort in the development of their stage personas.

The success of the film spawned a 1976 sequel, The Human Tornado AKA Dolemite II.

Moore recently completed a third film titled The Dolemite Expression, which is slated for release this spring.

While his over the top, raunchy content prevented him from having the mainstream success of contemporaries like Richard Pryor, Moore retained a loyal fanbase throughout his near 40 year career.

Aware that Hip-Hop was an extension of his rapid-fire street punchlines ("…rappin' and trappin' is my game!"), Moore embraced the culture and since the late 80's has collaborated with 2 Live Crew, Big Daddy Kane, Insane Clown Posse, and Snoop Dogg.

A prolific performer in his own right, Moore was known as "the king of party records" for his prodigious amount of comedy LPs released since the late 60's.

To date, Moore has a resume which includes 30 albums and 18 films.
