Banksy’s Meat
The Trembling Veil of Bones
I can't find any info on when the full-length version of this cartoon will debut, but the trailer sure looks weird enough to intrigue me!
Brandon Bird

Brandon Bird is an artist whose style might best be described as "pop culture Norman Rockwell." Pictured above is one of his most famous works, No One Wants to Play Sega with Harrison Ford. Head on over to his website to see more of his work, including a Law & Order themed coloring book, children's letters to Christopher Walken, and a version of The Last Supper featuring 12 James Woodses (and RoboCop).

16mm Theater #1
16mm Theater is my new series here on Weird Universe, in which I will share some of the stranger films in my 16mm collection. Today's feature: The Rainbow Bear, 1970The only way I can describe this film is "acid trip," and if you watch it I'm sure you will agree. Weirder still is the fact that this was apparently made for children, as it was produced by American Educational Films. And the weirdest fact about this short is that it was directed by Bill Meléndez, perhaps best known for A Charlie Brown Christmas.
Sorry about the poor quality, my projector doesn't have a telecine mode and I don't have a proper video camera.

Soft Machine
Soft Machine was certainly one of the weirder bands of a weird era.

Liquid Metal on a Checkerboard
I think this is someone experimenting with Chrome and what it can do, but I think it's just cool to watch. I especially like the collapse at the end -- very soothing.This might make a fun screensaver if it wouldn't burn squares into your screen!! Or does that still happen?
