The Art of Darkness

Blackety Sax

March 31st, 2014 by Cobwebs

When I originally saw this video I thought, “That’s cute. Some black metal guys clowning around between sets.” But no…this is infinitely more wonderful.

The video is by black metal group The Black Satans, for their song Satan of Hell.

A heroic YouTuber changed the music to Yakety Sax. The result is sublime.

Caption This

March 18th, 2014 by Cobwebs

I’m feeling silly today, so I’m going to resurrect a feature from the old SF site I used to maintain. Each month we posted a screen grab from a cheesy movie and invited readers to write their own captions. One of my favorites was this shot from Dark City:

Dark City

For which Shadow Jack submitted this:

As Freddy stumped wearily through the door after another fruitless day of job-searching, Jennifer couldn’t help wondering, once again, what her life might have been like if only she had married the Goblin King instead.

Get the idea? Want to play along? Submit your own caption in the comments!

Haunted by Drones

February 10th, 2014 by Cobwebs

(That was the BoingBoing headline for this; it’s actually a remote-controlled toy helicopter, but that doesn’t sound as funny.)

Anyway.

“Corporate Comedian” and prankster Tom Mabe uses a flying Grim Reaper to swoop down on unsuspecting passersby and scare the everliving hell out of them. It’s the sort of thing that’s hilarious happening to somebody else and would definitely make you want to punch the perpetrator if it happened to you.

There’s also a “behind the scenes” video:

When they discovered she was pregnant, Brandon Pitts and his wife made this clever video to announce the news to friends and family. I love the twist ending.

Danger: Humans

January 27th, 2014 by Cobwebs

The Insidious Bogleech recently asked why so much science fiction treats humans as the boring, weak, dumb ones.

I want to see a sci fi universe where we’re actually considered one of the more hideous and terrifying species.

How do we know our saliva and skin oils wouldn’t be ultra-corrosive to most other sapient races? What if we actually have the strongest vocal chords and can paralyze or kill the inhabitants of other worlds just by screaming at them? What if most sentient life in the universe turns out to be vegetable-like and lives in fear of us rare “animal” races who can move so quickly and chew shit up with our teeth?

Like that old story “they’re made of meat,” only we’re scarier.

Tom Scott took that idea and ran with it, producing this educational safety video for alien interstellar travelers:
