The Big Charade. Sounds like it's coming soon... from Jesse McKeown.

One word. Three syllables. Fantastic!

I guess maybe masquerading as preview for an actual film is all part of The Big Charade, but since it was screened as a short film on in its own, I feel obligated to point out that this is not a preview for a real movie, but a self-contained send up of genre films. It won awards too! It swept the The Leos!

The idea of charading Ulysses is The. Greatest. Thing.

I don't know what this is or is supposed to be, but I laughed like a stoned 15 year old.

I love basically every single thing about this, even the slightly tonally disjoint Wes Anderson riff with the uke background music.

Boy, the next season of The Magicians is really getting away from the books.

It's hard when your audience is a bit dense Charade.

That was amazingly well done

It was, but I hate when they give the whole movie away in the preview!
