We Were Once A Fairytale.

A short film by Spike Jonze starring Kanye West (among others).


Though unsettling, I kinda like this piece. Kanye did a pretty good job of acting drunk (no jokes here, I'll take the high road). So what does it all mean? That's a ?uestion for Spike and Kanye, but I'll put a few thoughts out there. With the first portion of the film being dedicated to watching Kanye's drunken antics, it would seem the ending would have something to do with his drunkenness. In my humble opinion its because of who he is most that most of the comments I've seen on this clip suggest the creature at the end is West's ego. Perhaps. If so, shouldn't we have seen Kanye sober and acting crazy, as he tends to do? Anyone one could potentially act this way when they're drunk enough. And the creature seems rather mild-mannered to be Kanye's ego, right? What about the rose petals? I could go on, but I'll stop there.

Art is open to interpretation.

Tarantino, Then Jonze.

Quentin has had Inglorious Basterds in the works (I believe the writing stages) since the release of the Kill Bill volumes, thus I've been waiting for it that long.  August 21st I can stop waiting and allow my eyeballs to explode from what will hopefully be a glorious cinematic feat of amazingness. Huh? 


Then on October 16th I can finally let the 11 year old KiD in me be frightened by the huge monsters, yet let the adult in me be amazed by the imagination of Mr. Spike Jonze's highly anticipated Where The Wild Things Are.  The latest trailer does not disappoint.  Check the landscapes:
