Could we not just have human porn, but with carbon offset? posted by pompomtom at 8:44 PM on May 6 [1 favorite]
Bee and Snail are my favorites but they are all wonderful!! I hope this becomes an internet meme. posted by hecho de la basura at 8:54 PM on May 6
At least someone is taking the small digital screen seriously as a potential new format. I am so sick of film snobs screaming that the only way a movie should be seen is on the giant screen of an old movie palace. posted by Astro Zombie at 8:59 PM on May 6
...sorry but Green Porno is not available in your region (I live in Asia)...
...it will be released outside of the US in July...

This is essentially the best thing I have ever seen in my entire life. It encompasses nearly all my interests and ideas-- those I have, and those I have yet to acquire.
She is still the hottest woman on the planet after all these years, even wrapped up in an earthworm costume. posted by caddis at 9:31 PM on May 6 [3 favorites]

Oooo, edutainment! I had no idea that earthworms urinate FROM EVERY SINGLE SEGMENT OF THEIR BODIES! The gratuitous defecation was also a complete surprise.
As an aside, trying to find ascii art of a pile of excrement is more difficult than it ought to be. posted by numinous at 11:13 PM on May 6
I just watched the entire series, and yes, this truly is the best of the web. Isabella Rossellini is my theatrical heroine.
Also, I am astounded by the sadomasochistic nature of snail sex; is this consistent with all slug sex? If so, I'll finally be able to reconcile those students at Porter with our beloved bananaslug mascot. posted by numinous at 11:27 PM on May 6

Apples and oranges, man. All this film snob is saying is let's not stop making movies that are designed to be seen on those big ole screens as most shift towards being framed for an iPhone screen.
Beyond wonderful. I had no idea that the bands around earthworms are movable sex scrapers that babies come out of! posted by moxiedoll at 11:38 PM on May 6
These are really great, and I think better understand the whole David Lynch/Isabella Rossellini thing now. posted by tula at 11:45 PM on May 6 [5 favorites]
Sent to all my entomology major friends. Spider was amazing. posted by Solon and Thanks at 12:06 AM on May 7
I can NOT choose a favorite. They are all so luminous.
And I don't know any film snobs/academics worth a damn who carp about "maintaining the integrity of the apparatus" ie reserving media for big, dark theaters, much, what with all the phenomenal strides digital distribution of content has taken in enlarging the reach of the moving image. I call straw man. posted by Ambrosia Voyeur at 12:46 AM on May 7
any day now (tomorrow?) you will be able to find a podcast/interview of Isabella talking about these shorts here:
http://phobos.apple.com/WebObjects/MZStore.woa/wa/viewPodcast?id=202224986
(launches iTunes). In the mean time you can find some other interesting interviews of other filmmakers who took part of these Tribeca Film Fest podcasts at the SoHo Apple Store.

Apparently Canada is an alien nation, too. Oh well, it'll probably get here with the Zune. posted by Mike D at 6:53 AM on May 7

Dave Foley kinda messed with my aesthetic appreciation of Isabella Rossellini by pointing out how much he looks like her. posted by Mister_A at 7:21 AM on May 7 [3 favorites]
Oh, I knew--I didn't expect it would be her head, but I was waiting for what she would do with maggots the whole time.
She even skipped the whole egg-laying bit to get straight to the maggots. posted by eustatic at 7:23 AM on May 7

Unlike the Zune, it is actually worth having.
Anyway, earthworms, while sexually very hot, are not insects. They are annelids. posted by Mister_A at 7:28 AM on May 7
I've always wondered what that worm muff thing was. Ew. posted by cowbellemoo at 7:51 AM on May 7

The part that weirds me out most is she plays many of the porn roles cross-gender. Ie: she's the boy bug. Does that make it hotter? posted by Nelson at 8:44 AM on May 7
Spider Isabella will DIG her palpae in your epigyne...and run off! posted by horsewithnoname at 8:46 AM on May 7

Indeed, I am only sorry that slug sex was not featured. For anyone who wonders why, look up the word apophallation. It's my new favorite word, right up there with defenestration.
Careful, or I will apophallate you! posted by redbeard at 9:30 AM on May 7

Isabella is a goddess. She is. And a damn sexy one too, even as an earthworm. I would give up my fave pair of shoes (and I love my shoes) to have just an iota of her charisma. Woof. posted by dejah420 at 10:53 AM on May 7
This only proves my theory that David Lynch's madness is sexually transmitted.
See, I was thinking she caught this just by being in the same room with Guy Maddin. posted by Lentrohamsanin at 11:01 AM on May 7 [1 favorite]

Wait, hold the presses... I just watched it again, and is it me, or did she said a worm had a long, slimy body, "like a jew"??? posted by PigAlien at 8:03 PM on May 7
uh, "did she SAY a worm HAS..."
ah hell, that's what preview's for... posted by PigAlien at 8:05 PM on May 7
hahahahahaha, OMG, so I did a google search and someone else asked the same question and was met with the answer that she actually says, "like a tube", but with her accent, it comes out, "like a chube". Somehow, I must not be hearing the percussive 'b' at the end. posted by PigAlien at 8:11 PM on May 7
Of course you realize this is all just furry pr0n... I mean you start with insects and it's all cool and weird and that but soon you'll be into dressing in a giant fox costume (not that there's anything wrong with that.) posted by fearfulsymmetry at 12:57 AM on May 8
Isabella Rosellini is an obvious freak. And I hate to tell you, but she is not hot anymore. posted by tadellin at 8:37 PM on May 8

I hope I'm just as freaky as she is at her age. Also, she might not be hot, but I think she's just so beautiful. I like that she's still doing really experimental, creative things. She's awesome. posted by bluefly at 1:24 PM on May 9
