		<description> &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stanley_Spencer&quot;&gt;Sir Stanley Spencer&lt;/a&gt; (1891-1959) was a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.stanleyspencer.org.uk/&quot;&gt;British&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.tate.org.uk/servlet/ArtistWorks?cgroupid=999999961&amp;artistid=1977&amp;page=1&amp;sole=y&amp;collab=y&amp;attr=y&amp;sort=default&amp;tabview=worklist&quot;&gt;painter&lt;/a&gt;. Spencer studied at &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slade_School_of_Art&quot;&gt;the Slade&lt;/a&gt; in London, but he spent most of his life in the village of his birth, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.kwantes.com/SSG%20website/cookham.html&quot;&gt;Cookham&lt;/a&gt; in Berkshire. Deeply religious and obsessed by resurrection, Spencer viewed Cookham as a &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.icons.org.uk/nom/nominations/the-paintings-of-stanley-spencer&quot;&gt;village in heaven&lt;/a&gt;&quot; where everything was invested with mystical significance. Inspired by his idol &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giotto&quot;&gt;Giotto&lt;/a&gt;, he took scenes from the Bible and restaged them in this tiny village by the Thames. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.tate.org.uk/servlet/ViewWork?cgroupid=999999961&amp;workid=13674&amp;searchid=10760&quot;&gt;Christ carries the cross&lt;/a&gt; through &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/carltonbrowne/2581783604/&quot;&gt;Spencer&apos;s front garden&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.tate.org.uk/servlet/ViewWork?cgroupid=999999961&amp;workid=13699&amp;searchid=10760&quot;&gt;Jesus heals in the attic of his house&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.siue.edu/~ejoy/The%20Betrayal.jpg&quot;&gt;Stanley and his brother watch from behind the shed as Christ is betrayed at the bottom of the garden&lt;/a&gt;. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.tendreams.org/spencer/TC.htm&quot;&gt;He is crucified on telegraph poles in the high street&lt;/a&gt;. In the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/pelegrino/212731693/&quot;&gt;village churchyard&lt;/a&gt;, the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.tate.org.uk/servlet/ViewWork?cgroupid=999999961&amp;workid=13675&amp;searchid=10760&quot;&gt;dead are rising&lt;/a&gt;.

Spencer served in Macedonia during the First World War and, deeply affected by the experience, spent 9 years from 1923 onwards decorating the specially commissioned &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/40134929@N05/sets/72157621190737658/&quot;&gt;Sandham Memorial Chapel&lt;/a&gt; (inspired by Giotto&apos;s &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cappella_degli_Scrovegni&quot;&gt;Scrovegni Chapel&lt;/a&gt;) with&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.aadip9.net/timeline/sandham-memorial-chapel-2.jpg&quot;&gt; intricate&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.cookham.com/about/images/convoyofwoundedsoldiers.htm&quot;&gt;murals&lt;/a&gt; documenting his experiences [&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nationaltrust.org.uk/main/w-vh/w-visits/w-findaplace/w-sandhammemorialchapel/w-sandhammemorialchapel-photo_gallery.htm&quot;&gt;photo gallery&lt;/a&gt;] [&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8paknUGh2rw&quot;&gt;video tour&lt;/a&gt;.] He was &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nationalgalleries.org/collection/online_az/4:322/result/0/60602?initial=M&amp;artistId=15079&amp;artistName=William%20MacQuitty&amp;submit=1&quot;&gt;officially commissioned&lt;/a&gt; as a war artist in the Second World War, and spent 7 years &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.culturewars.org.uk/2000-08/art/spencer.htm&quot;&gt;documenting the work at Lithgow&apos;s shipyard in Glasgow&lt;/a&gt; in a series of monumental canvasses.

The reputation of this &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.elsewhere.co.nz/culturalelsewhere/233/sir-stanley-spencer-essayed-2003-of-angels-and-dirt/&quot;&gt;divine fool of British art&lt;/a&gt;,&quot; who turned up for his &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.culture24.org.uk/art/painting+%2526+drawing/art64574&quot;&gt;knighthood&lt;/a&gt; with a carrier bag, sketched on &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.gettyimages.com/detail/3397819/Hulton-Archive&quot;&gt;toilet paper&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.kwantes.com/SSG%20website/photos.html&quot;&gt;pushed his easel around Cookham in a pram&lt;/a&gt;, has in recent decades been &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/artblog/2007/jun/06/ilovespencer&quot;&gt;radically&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.wsws.org/articles/2001/sep2001/stan-s20.shtml&quot;&gt;reappraised&lt;/a&gt;. The frank and intimate approach seen in his domestic works, often exposing his &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.slate.com/id/2917/&quot;&gt;turbulent personal life&lt;/a&gt;, influenced a generation of artists. His &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/21356513@N00/226456552/&quot;&gt;astonishing&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.flickr.com/photos/59276281@N00/2135156619/&quot;&gt;nudes&lt;/a&gt; of the &lt;a href=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_bq6_cE4BJJQ/SkI9jIg2uNI/AAAAAAAAQBk/6PCzNe8En6Q/s400/Stanley+Spencer+-+Nude+(Patricia+Preece)jpg.jpg&quot;&gt;1930&apos;s&lt;/a&gt; (nsfw - he was almost &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/arts/highlights/010713_stanley.shtml&quot;&gt;prosecuted for obscenity&lt;/a&gt; over these in the 1950&apos;s) provided the template for the work of &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucian_Freud&quot;&gt;Lucian Freud&lt;/a&gt;. He created an &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.timesonline.co.uk/tol/news/uk/article641783.ece&quot;&gt;invaluable record&lt;/a&gt; of two World Wars.

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.robertfulford.com/StanleySpencer.html&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;&quot;Half a century ago, Spencer seemed old-fashioned; today, art has caught up with him. It no longer seems outlandish to call him the most important British painter of the last century.&quot;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;

		<title>Eroge for All Seasons</title>
		<link>http://www.metafilter.com/85984/Eroge%2Dfor%2DAll%2DSeasons</link>
		<description> Japan has a flourishing market for video games featuring adult content, or &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eroge&quot;&gt;Eroge&lt;/a&gt;. Unfortunately, the sole exposure of some westerners to this wide genre may be through the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.slate.com/id/2213073/&quot;&gt;controversy&lt;/a&gt; surrounding the irredeemably disgusting &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.somethingawful.com/d/hentai-game-reviews/rapelay.php&quot;&gt;Rapelay&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.metafilter.com/84985/Edmund&quot;&gt;(previously)&lt;/a&gt;. That&apos;s a shame, because there is wide variation in content and gameplay focus in even the small subset of Eroge games translated and released for the western market by specialty publishers like &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.peachprincess.com/&quot;&gt; Peach Princess&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.g-collections.com/&quot;&gt;G-Collections&lt;/a&gt;. For every Rapelay or &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.somethingawful.com/d/hentai-game-reviews/water-closet.php&quot;&gt;Water Closet&lt;/a&gt; (which should only be played if you wish to subsequently gouge out your eyes with a dull spoon), there are games like &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.peachprincess.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&amp;Store_Code=PP&amp;Product_Code=GC032&amp;Category_Code=BG2&quot;&gt;Amorous Professor Cherry&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.peachprincess.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&amp;Store_Code=PP&amp;Product_Code=GC026&amp;Category_Code=BG2&quot;&gt;The Sagara Family&lt;/a&gt;, or &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.peachprincess.com/Merchant2/merchant.mv?Screen=PROD&amp;Store_Code=PP&amp;Product_Code=GC010&amp;Category_Code=BG2&quot;&gt;Come See Me Tonight&lt;/a&gt;, which at least attempt a coherent narrative love story and usually reward empathetic behavior.

Even these games are only more subtly misogynistic, unfortunately; the female characters are targets, first and foremost, as evidenced by the fact that the most difficult endings to obtain in each game feature unlikely sexual couplings of two or more of the female characters with the first-person narrator, which are known as &quot;harems&quot; in Eroge game parlance.

Which brings me to my two final examples of Eroge, and the only two such games I&apos;ve played thus far that I would recommend to a wide (mature) audience: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.g-collections.com/kana-little-sister.html&quot;&gt;Kana: Little Sister&lt;/a&gt; (for those concerned, no &lt;em&gt;actual&lt;/em&gt; fictional blood relatives are banged in the course of gameplay), and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.g-collections.com/crescendo-1.html&quot;&gt;Crescendo&lt;/a&gt;. Both are visual novels, include only a few mature scenes in the course of several hours of gameplay, and attempt to evoke complex emotions and leave a lasting impression on the player. </description>

		<title>Rammstein is not a subtle band (NSFW)</title>
		<link>http://www.metafilter.com/85193/Rammstein%2Dis%2Dnot%2Da%2Dsubtle%2Dband%2DNSFW</link>
		<description>&lt;a href="http://www.visit-x.net/rammstein/"&gt;Rammstein&apos;s Pussy&lt;/a&gt; (video, really NSFW, SLnYT) gets right to the point. Youtube has taken down uploads. Facebook has taken down links (though not &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gX9GFIPjuD0&quot;&gt;Links&lt;/a&gt;).

Here&apos;s a fan-created &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UW4CItxGJT4&quot;&gt;censored&lt;/a&gt; version (NSFW lyrics). Contrast &lt;i&gt;Pussy&lt;/i&gt; with their earlier work, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_k-vPv-XEpg&quot;&gt;Keine Lust&lt;/a&gt;, in which they parody themselves as old, fat, and sexless (until they rock, of course). Are they intentionally following a route blazed by Spinal Tap?

&lt;i&gt;Pussy&lt;/i&gt; is not the band&apos;s first controversial video. &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wis9yvjb1BY&quot;&gt;Their cover&lt;/a&gt; of Depeche Mode&apos;s Stripped used footage from &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Leni_Riefenstahl&quot;&gt;Leni Riefenstahl&lt;/a&gt;&apos;s 1936 Olympics documentary, &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Olympia_(1938_film)&quot;&gt;Olympia&lt;/a&gt; (including the beautiful &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KwmYFz01MxA&quot;&gt;diving sequence&lt;/a&gt;). When asked whether it was wise to base their video on a film commissioned by Hitler, the band said that &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1433616/19981008/rammstein.jhtml&quot;&gt;they are not Nazis&lt;/a&gt;. </description>

		<title>Get your schadenfreude here</title>
		<link>http://www.metafilter.com/83639/Get%2Dyour%2Dschadenfreude%2Dhere</link>
		<description> Recently, there have been a host of websites that delight in exposing the inanity and stupidity of our society. There is the granddaddy, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.overheardinnewyork.com&quot;&gt;Overheard in New York&lt;/a&gt;, which recounts silly conversations heard in the Big Apple, as well as a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.overheardintheoffice.com&quot;&gt;host&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.overheardatthebeach.com&quot;&gt;of&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.overheardeverywhere.com&quot;&gt;similar&lt;/a&gt; sites.

There are now a variety of such websites, dedicated to different aspects of our society. First, there are the ones targeted at different groups: &lt;a href=&quot;http://stfumarrieds.tumblr.com&quot;&gt;STFU, Marrieds&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://stfuparents.tumblr.com&quot;&gt;STFU, Parents&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://stfubelievers.tumblr.com&quot;&gt;STFU, Believers&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://myroommateisadick.blogspot.com&quot;&gt;My Roommate is Such a Dick&lt;/a&gt;.

Then, there are the ones that expose the silliness and inanity in our communications: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.textsfromlastnight.com&quot;&gt;Texts From Last Night&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.mydrunktexts.com&quot;&gt;My Drunk Texts&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.passiveaggressivenotes.com&quot;&gt;Passive Aggressive Notes&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lamebook.com&quot;&gt;Lamebook&lt;/a&gt;.

Relationships and sex loom large as well: &lt;a href=&quot;http://disgustingmakeouts.tumblr.com&quot;&gt;Disgusting People I Have Made Out With&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.whymyexsucks.com&quot;&gt;Why My Ex Sucks&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://sorry-mom.com&quot;&gt;I Bang the Worst Dudes&lt;/a&gt;.

Finally, there is just plain bad luck or failure: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.fmylife.com&quot;&gt;F My Life&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://failblog.org&quot;&gt;FAIL Blog&lt;/a&gt;.

Bonus: &lt;a href=&quot;http://awkwardfamilyphotos.com&quot;&gt;Awkward Family Photos&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.hotchickswithdouchebags.com&quot;&gt;Hot Chicks With Douchebags&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/http&gt; </description>

		<description> &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dash_Snow&quot;&gt;Dash Snow&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.saatchi-gallery.co.uk/artists/artpages/dash_snow_police_close2.htm&quot;&gt;seminal artist&lt;/a&gt;, is &lt;a href=&quot;http://gawker.com/5314284/dash-snow-downtown-artist-said-to-be-dead-of-overdose&quot;&gt;dead of an overdose&lt;/a&gt;. Born into art world royalty, Dash was the great-grandson of prominent collector &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dominique_de_menil&quot;&gt;Dominique de M&amp;#0233;nil&lt;/a&gt;.

On the streets at 13, Dash gained &lt;a href=&quot;http://online.wsj.com/article/SB114497823829025801.html&quot;&gt;notoriety&lt;/a&gt; for his graffiti as &apos;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LUiJkS0Sbe8&quot;&gt;Sace&lt;/a&gt;&apos; and his antics with the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.irakny.com/&quot;&gt;Irak&lt;/a&gt; crew.  

Famously profiled in a &lt;a href=&quot;http://nymag.com/arts/art/profiles/26288/&quot;&gt;2007 NYMag article&lt;/a&gt;, his debauched &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.tinyvices.com/dash_snow_1&quot;&gt;art&lt;/a&gt; was a reflection of his &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/obituaries/culture-obituaries/art-obituaries/5837056/Dash-Snow.html&quot;&gt;rough existence&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://nymag.com/daily/entertainment/2009/07/dash_snow_seemed_happy_and_hea.html&quot;&gt;vitality&lt;/a&gt;.

While &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.woostercollective.com/2009/07/remembering_dash_snow.html&quot;&gt;contemporaries&lt;/a&gt; and dealers are quick to &lt;a href=&quot;http://gawker.com/5315151/dash-snows-basquiat+ization&quot;&gt;cement&lt;/a&gt; his status as an &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.guardian.co.uk/artanddesign/2009/jul/15/dash-snow-art-icon&quot;&gt;icon&lt;/a&gt;, others &lt;a href=&quot;http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/07/14/dash-snow-new-york-artist-dies-at-27/?apage=2#comment-104083&quot;&gt;reserve&lt;/a&gt; a far &lt;a href=&quot;http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/07/14/dash-snow-new-york-artist-dies-at-27/?apage=3#comment-104231&quot;&gt;harsher&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://artsbeat.blogs.nytimes.com/2009/07/14/dash-snow-new-york-artist-dies-at-27/?apage=5#comment-104517&quot;&gt;judgement&lt;/a&gt;.

He is survived by &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nytimes.com/2009/07/15/arts/15snow.html?hpw&quot;&gt;all of Manhattan&lt;/a&gt;.

		<title>Be Kind, Recycle (Film Footage)</title>
		<link>http://www.metafilter.com/82847/Be%2DKind%2DRecycle%2DFilm%2DFootage</link>
		<description> &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1198142/&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Sex Galaxy&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt; (&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZZ-ETu8T3MY&amp;fmt=18&quot;&gt;trailer 1&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMfXZYIdmHc&amp;fmt=18&quot;&gt;trailer 2&lt;/a&gt;, NSFW) is a new film that &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.myspace.com/sexgalaxy&quot;&gt;claims to be&lt;/a&gt; the first &quot;green film,&quot; as it is made of 100% recycled material. In an &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.wired.com/underwire/2009/06/sex-galaxy/&quot;&gt;Wired article&lt;/a&gt;, director/producer Mike Davis discloses his film sources. &quot;Boarded-up libraries, abandoned schools, decaying drive-in movie theaters&#8230;. These are the realms in which I unearth my wares,&quot; he said. &quot;And actually, many of these films are available on the internet. You can find amazing collections through the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.loc.gov/rr/mopic/pubdomain.html&quot;&gt;Library of Congress&lt;/a&gt;.&quot; The Wired article notes that the recycled material isn&apos;t itself wholly original, and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.badlit.com/?p=1781&quot;&gt;Bad Lit&lt;/a&gt; expands the history of film plunder further. &lt;em&gt;Sex Galaxy&lt;/em&gt;  is sourced from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0063790/&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Voyage to the Planet of Prehistoric Women&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, which relied on footage from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0059887/&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Voyage to the Prehistoric Planet&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, which in turn is sampled from the Russian film &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0056352/&quot;&gt;&lt;em&gt;Planeta Bur&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;. The history of film reuse is long and storied, and continues after the jump. &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roger_Corman&quot;&gt;Roger Corman&lt;/a&gt;, known for his &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.thehousenextdooronline.com/2006/04/recycling-roger-corman_05.html&quot;&gt;frugal use of props and footage&lt;/a&gt;, was the mentor to &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Bogdanovich&quot;&gt;Peter Bogdanovich&lt;/a&gt;, director of &lt;em&gt;Voyage to the Planet of Prehistoric Women&lt;/em&gt; (which Corman produced). Then there&apos;s &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sandy_Frank&quot;&gt;Sandy Frank&lt;/a&gt; possibly best known for bringing live-action Japanese film to the United States, but reworked through editing and dubbing. &lt;a href=&quot;http://mst3k.wikia.com/wiki/Sandy_Frank&quot;&gt;10 of his films&lt;/a&gt; received the MST3000 treatment. 

Additional fun: 
Internet Archive hosts &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.archive.org/details/VoyagetothePlanetofPrehistoricWomen&quot;&gt;Voyage to the Planet of Prehistoric Women&lt;/a&gt; (1967), &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.archive.org/details/VoyagetothePrehistoricPlanet&quot;&gt;Voyage to the Prehistoric Planet&lt;/a&gt; (1965), and Google Video hosts &lt;a href=&quot;http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-1230711934784567419&quot;&gt;Planeta Bur&lt;/a&gt; (1962) in it&apos;s original Russian form, without subtitles. 
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0128224/&quot;&gt;Fugitive Alien&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0131028/&quot;&gt;Star Force: Fugitive Alien II&lt;/a&gt;, Sandy Frank creations, were based on the 1978 Japanese series &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0202755/&quot;&gt;Sut&amp;#0226;urufu&lt;/a&gt; (often called Star Wolf in the US). You can watch 4 of the original episodes online: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.veoh.com/browse/videos/category/entertainment/watch/v1477094yzXk7dyk&quot;&gt;Ep 1&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.veoh.com/browse/videos/category/entertainment/watch/v14807982STtTNRc&quot;&gt;Ep 2&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.veoh.com/browse/videos/category/entertainment/watch/v1773101HPJJtNk9&quot;&gt;Ep 3&lt;/a&gt;, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.veoh.com/browse/videos/category/entertainment/watch/v1802959rdCeNDh2&quot;&gt;Ep 4&lt;/a&gt;
The group &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.theseunitedstates.net/&quot;&gt;These United States&lt;/a&gt; only used public domain footage for their video &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.wired.com/listening_post/2008/09/video-these-uni/&quot;&gt;Get Yourself Home&lt;/a&gt;.&quot; </description>

		<description> Though film is not generally Andy Warhol&apos;s field of greatest fame, some see his &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_Warhol_filmography&quot;&gt;long&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.warholstars.org/filmch/filmchro.html&quot;&gt;storied&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0912238/&quot;&gt;history in film&lt;/a&gt; as &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.independent.co.uk/arts-entertainment/arts--factory-to-warehouse-when-you-think-of-it-andy-warhol-said-department-stores-are-kind-of-like-museums-now-he-has-a-museum-of-his-own-a-dollars-12m-warehouse-conversion-which-opened-last-monday-in-pittsburgh-his-home-town-its-a-fitting-showcase-for-his-repetitive-genius-1437679.html&quot;&gt;where Warhol&apos;s supreme achievement lies&lt;/a&gt;&quot;. And then there are the two horror films from 1973: &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Andy_Warhol%27s_Frankenstein&quot;&gt;Andy Warhol&apos;s Frankenstein&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt; (or &lt;em&gt;Flesh for Frankenstein&lt;/em&gt;) and &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_for_Dracula&quot;&gt;Andy Warhol&apos;s Dracula&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt; (or &lt;em&gt;Blood for Dracula&lt;/em&gt;). The two films were &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.warholstars.org/warhol/warhol1/warhol1f/links/frank.html&quot;&gt;filmed quickly and inexpensively in the Spring of 1973&lt;/a&gt;, using the &lt;a href=&quot;http://eric.b.olsen.tripod.com/corman.html&quot;&gt;Roger Corman method&lt;/a&gt; of filming two movies at one location using the same actors to decrease costs. &lt;em&gt;Frankenstein&lt;/em&gt; was filmed first, using &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/3-D_film#Revival_.281960-1979.29_in_single_strip_format&quot;&gt;Space-Vision 3-D&lt;/a&gt;. But filming 3D footage was &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.warholstars.org/filmch/drac73.html&quot;&gt;too expensive and time-consuming&lt;/a&gt;, so &lt;em&gt;Dracula&lt;/em&gt; was shot in standard 35mm film. The films are a mix of tribute to and parody of Italian horror films.  Both movies were shot in and around Rome, and edited at the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.romefile.com/culture/cinecitta.php&quot;&gt;Cinecitt&amp;#0224; studios&lt;/a&gt;,which were opened by Mussolini in April 1937, and later the location for &lt;em&gt;Roman Holiday&lt;/em&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Ben Hur&lt;/em&gt;, amongst others. Despite the pedigree of the location, the content of the films were not the of the same sort, with gory effects in &lt;em&gt;Frankenstein&lt;/em&gt; including &lt;a href=&quot;http://movies.nytimes.com/movie/review?res=9802E2DF123DE73ABC4E52DFB366838F669EDE&quot;&gt;innards [that] resemble lobster salad, an evocation that stresses the obvious expense of this production&lt;/a&gt; &lt;small&gt;(&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bugmenot.com/view/nytimes.com&quot;&gt;NYTimes.com Bugmenot&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/small&gt; and &lt;em&gt;Dracula&lt;/em&gt; receiving an X Rating from the MPAA due to its violent and sexual elements. Regardless, or because of this, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.warholstars.org/warhol/warhol1/andy/warhol/can/feld23.html&quot;&gt;Both films were commercial successes by Factory standards in the United States, Europe, and, for the first time, Japan&lt;/a&gt;. These films would be the last two Factory films that &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.warholstars.org/chron/paul65n14.html&quot;&gt;Paul Morrissey&lt;/a&gt; directed, and the last Factory films in which &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.warholstars.org/warhol/warhol1/andy/warhol/can/joe13.html&quot;&gt;Joe&lt;/a&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.warholstars.org/indfoto/ijoe.html&quot;&gt;Dallesandro&lt;/a&gt; starred. 

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.paulmorrissey.org/&quot;&gt;Morrissey&lt;/a&gt; first worked at &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Factory&quot;&gt;The Factory&lt;/a&gt; in &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.warholstars.org/warhol/warhol1/andy/warhol/can/paul12.html&quot;&gt;1965, sweeping the floor&lt;/a&gt;, a year prior to the making of &lt;em&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.warholstars.org/warhol/warhol1/warhol1f/chelsea.html&quot;&gt;The Chelsea Girls&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/em&gt;. Morrissey went on to take over the directing, pushing Warhol&apos;s films in more commercial directions. After these films, &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0607407/&quot;&gt;Morrissey continued to direct movies&lt;/a&gt;, though he stopped when it became harder to finance independent films. 

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.joedallesandro.com/&quot;&gt;Dallesandro&lt;/a&gt;, probably the guy(parts) on the cover of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.superseventies.com/ac2stickyfingers.html&quot;&gt;Rolling Stone&apos;s &lt;em&gt;Sticky Fingers&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/a&gt;, continued to have &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0198072/&quot;&gt;acting roles&lt;/a&gt;, though &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joe_Dallesandro&quot;&gt;he now manages a hotel in the heart of Hollywood, where he lives with his cat Booky&lt;/a&gt;. 

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.nytimes.com/1997/11/19/movies/warhol-films-and-videos-are-going-to-4-institutions.html&quot;&gt;The Andy Warhol Foundation for the Visual Arts has given these films&lt;/a&gt; to the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.warhol.org/collections/film_video.html&quot;&gt;Andy Warhol Museum&lt;/a&gt;.

		<description> Since the mid 1990s, &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Don_Hertzfeldt&quot;&gt;Don Hertzfeldt&lt;/a&gt; has been making animated shorts by hand. To date, his 8 primary films have an apprioximate runtime of 75 minutes, and in total have won &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0381116/awards&quot;&gt;117 awards&lt;/a&gt;, all shot on 16 or 35 milimeter film. (There is another 8 minutes or so that was part of the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.animationshow.com/&quot;&gt;Animation Show&lt;/a&gt; (&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.metafilter.com/41112/Short-Animation&quot;&gt;previously&lt;/a&gt;).) His recent films have been shot on the same camera rig that recorded &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0060550/&quot;&gt;It&apos;s the Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown&lt;/a&gt; (1966), as he noted in a  &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-DKC36QmITs&quot;&gt;2007 interview&lt;/a&gt; (part of a &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sceneunseenpodcast.com/html/archive_2007.html&quot;&gt;Scene Unseen Podcast&lt;/a&gt; &lt;small&gt;(&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.sceneunseenpodcast.com/episodes/sus_20070301_DHertzfeldt.mp3&quot;&gt;direct link to the MP3&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/small&gt;). Hertzfeltd is currently two thirds of the way through his most ambitious project to date, a trilogy of films which have been called &quot;the closest thing on film yet to Kubrick&apos;s 2001: A Space Odyssey.&quot; (Video links inside) &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.atom.com/funny_videos/ah_lamour_hertzfeldt/&quot;&gt;Ah, L&apos;Amour&lt;/a&gt; (1995) - awarded Grand Prize Award for &quot;World&apos;s Funniest Cartoon&quot; in 1998 from the HBO U.S. Comedy Arts Festival (now known as &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.thecomedyfestival.com/&quot;&gt;The Comedy Festival&lt;/a&gt;). 

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.atom.com/funny_videos/genre_hertzfeldt/&quot;&gt;Genre&lt;/a&gt; (1996) mixes stop-motion and 2-D animation, and was shown on an episode of MTV&apos;s &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cartoon_Sushi&quot;&gt;Cartoon Sushi&lt;/a&gt; in 1997. 

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.atom.com/funny_videos/lily_jim_hertzfeldt/&quot;&gt;Lily and Jim&lt;/a&gt; (1997) - single-handedly animated from over 10,000 drawings, and was shown on an episode of MTV&apos;s Cartoon Sushi in 1998, and Hertzfeldt&apos;s first short with a vocal track. 

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.metacafe.com/watch/yt-Fpc5vgi9zbM/don_hertzfeldt_billys_balloon/&quot;&gt;Billy&apos;s Balloon&lt;/a&gt; (1998) - The film was invited into Official Competition at the 1999 Cannes Film Festival (where Don Hertzfeldt was the youngest director involved), and it won the Grand Jury Award at the 1999 Slamdance Film Festival; has also appeared on Adult Swim and MTV 

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.atom.com/funny_videos/rejected_hertzfeldt/&quot;&gt;Rejected&lt;/a&gt; (2000) toured North American theaters between 2000 and 2004, first as part of Spike &amp;amp; Mike&apos;s Sick and Twisted Festival of Animation, then with fellow animator Bill Plympton&apos;s films called &quot;The Don and Bill Show,&quot; and finally as part of Hertzfeldt&apos;s own the Animation Show tour.
 
&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.metacafe.com/watch/yt-x5h9c4Hu5As/welcome_to_the_animation_show_by_don_hertzfeldt/&quot;&gt;Welcome to the Show&lt;/a&gt;/&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.metacafe.com/watch/yt-Lzrmx6HhtyQ/intermission_in_the_3rd_dimension_by_don_hertzfeldt/&quot;&gt;Intermission in the Third Dimension&lt;/a&gt;/&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.metacafe.com/watch/yt-X2Xo_w7vE50/end_of_the_animation_show_by_don_hertzfeldt/&quot;&gt;The End of the Show&lt;/a&gt; - 3 shorts  created as an introduction, intermission, and end for the first &quot;Animation Show.&quot;

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bitterfilms.com/meaningoflife.html&quot;&gt;The Meaning of Life&lt;/a&gt; (2005) is the result of almost four years of production and tens of thousands of drawings, single-handedly animated and photographed by Hertzfeldt. 

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bitterfilms.com/ok.html&quot;&gt;Everything Will Be OK&lt;/a&gt; (&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aWUJw7Dq5uo&quot;&gt;trailer&lt;/a&gt;) (2006) won the 2007 Sundance Film Festival Jury Award in Short Filmmaking, a prize rarely bestowed on an animated film.

&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.ifc.com/news/2008/10/interview-don-hertzfeldt-on-i.php&quot;&gt;I am so proud of you&lt;/a&gt; (2008) Hertzfeldt traveled with the film on a sold-out special theatrical tour of his work in 2008 and part of 2009. </description>

		<title>Like cult films, but without all that filming</title>
		<link>http://www.metafilter.com/81389/Like%2Dcult%2Dfilms%2Dbut%2Dwithout%2Dall%2Dthat%2Dfilming</link>
		<description> &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bizarro_fiction&quot;&gt;Bizarro fiction&lt;/a&gt; isn&apos;t really a &lt;em&gt;new&lt;/em&gt; genre. &lt;a href=&quot;http://mondobizarro.yuku.com/topic/362&quot;&gt;Just a new term&lt;/a&gt;. The current crop of &lt;a href=&quot;http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_bizarro_authors&quot;&gt;bizarro authors&lt;/a&gt; are generally young and new to being published, with &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bizarrocentral.com/article_detail.asp?articleID=12&quot;&gt;Carlton Mellick III&lt;/a&gt; as &quot;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bizarrocentral.com/article_detail.asp?articleID=8&quot;&gt;both the Johnny Appleseed and the Johnny Rotten&lt;/a&gt;&quot; of the newly dubbed genre, who started printing his stories under the header of &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.eraserheadpress.com/&quot;&gt;Eraserhead Press&lt;/a&gt;. But what is Bizarro Fiction? &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bizarrocentral.com/book_detail.asp?bookID=97&quot;&gt;A battle between the real William Shatner vs all the film versions of himself&lt;/a&gt;, resulting from a failed terrorist attack by Campbellians; &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bizarrocentral.com/book_detail.asp?bookID=96&quot;&gt;bizarro-noir novellas&lt;/a&gt;, set in a world of murderers, drugs made from squid parts, deformed war
veterans, and a mischievous apocalyptic donkey; or just &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.amazon.com/gp/blog/A1LTNPL5JQN85U&quot;&gt;a nice children&apos;s book&lt;/a&gt; about &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bizarrocentral.com/book_detail.asp?bookID=100&quot;&gt;two Vampires who compete in a mustache competition&lt;/a&gt; to prove who is the faggiest of all. &lt;small&gt;(&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.newtimesslo.com/&quot;&gt;via a local paper&lt;/a&gt;, though I didn&apos;t see the article isn&apos;t online)&lt;/small&gt; The first version of Eraserhead Press started as a bet that Mellick couldn&apos;t publish books without spending a single cent. He was able to make &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.pw.org/content/diy_how_make_saddlestitched_chapbook&quot;&gt;saddle-stitched chapbooks&lt;/a&gt; for free, selling the end product for $2.25 with free shipping, by befriending Kinkos employees or posing as a student to get access to university printing equipment.  The organization had various stages before &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.carltonmellick.com/id87.html&quot;&gt;Satan Burger&lt;/a&gt; became a success on it&apos;s own in 2003. From this small start, the genre/scene has grown with two more independent publishing companies (&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.afterbirthbooks.com/&quot;&gt;Afterbirth Books&lt;/a&gt; and &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.rawdogscreaming.com/&quot;&gt;Raw Dog Screaming Press&lt;/a&gt;) , with &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.bizarrocentral.com/&quot;&gt;Bizarro Central&lt;/a&gt; as a major hub, generating it&apos;s own &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.myspace.com/bizarromagazine&quot;&gt;Bizarro Magazine&lt;/a&gt;. (&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.metafilter.com/77045/Help-a-bear-is-still-eating-me&quot;&gt;Semi-previously&lt;/a&gt;) </description>
