[RevolutionaryActs]

They bill at as, "the creepy video everyone is talking about."

So yeah, I don't want to watch it(yes, I am a wuss), but I want to know what it is. Because I know nothing about it.

So what is it?

:D

[ghostsofgiants]

23. My synopsis is in post # 19, haha

[Minstrel Boy]

17. Thanks, I didn't need to see that.

Here's a review (I don't know if it's appropriate for this one, but spoilers ahead):

The video begins with a doctor reassuring a visably disturbed Johnny, who seems to be asking for his mummy. When he gets violent, the doctor is forced to inject him with a calming sedative. The film then flips to the familiar Drukqs introduction and then proceeds to go crazy with Johnny dancing in his wheelchair, doing wheelies and tricks for the amusement of his dog, and transforming into a variety of nightmarish shapes, like a someone tipping a wheelbarrow full of butcher's shop scrapings, entrails and brains onto a window.

The film is stunning, harrowing and disturbing in equal measure. The visuals match the frantic pace of the music and the experience is quite exhausting, leaving you breathless by the end. I had to sit through the preview screening twice to take it all in. It's like David Lynch's Lost Highway compressed to a black hole-like density, where no light escapes. I absolutely loved it.

The film comes with a 40 page booklet containing self-portraits, sketches and photographs of Johnny that are equally bizarre and strange, and pushes Cunningham's fixation and obsession with body parts to the absolute extreme.

Certainly not for the faint of heart, Rubber Johnny cannot come recommended highly enough for those with the constitution to take it.

[ghostsofgiants]

20. That's a Chris Cunningham video?

Awesome! I love Cunningham's work. No wonder it's so weird and creepy.

[RevolutionaryActs]

21. I didn't make you click the link

:P



Ok, that picture on your link was creepy!!!!!!!!! :scared:

[TBreeze]

41. omg

I clicked on the link in your post and had to close the window really quick. I dunno what kinda messed up pic that was because I didn't leave it up very long, but my heart is jumping. If the video is anything like that picture, I don't think I should watch it. :scared: :blush:

[ghostsofgiants]

19. Okay, it appears to be a music video/short film that is...

One part Paris Hilton sex tape, one part David Lynch short, one part X-Files and one part rave.

The music/dancing part kinda ruins it for me, otherwise it's really weird and creepy, which I love.

And apparently it's directed by Chris Cunningham, who is one of my favourite video directors, so that makes it even cooler.

[RevolutionaryActs]

27. But is it scary?

I don't like scary. :scared:

[ghostsofgiants]

31. It's a bit creepy, yeah

But worth watching in my opinion. Mind you I'm obsessed with horror films and weird shit like that.

[Lilyhoney]

22. WOW. That was freaky in an interesting sort of way.

Really you should watch it. It is soooo bizarre.

[RevolutionaryActs]

30. Yeah, but I tired to watch it then I got all creeped out

and I closed the window really fast. I'm a wuss. :(

[Historic NY]

26. Weird, but I don't get its point.......

dog & kung fu fighting alien? :wtf:

[ghostsofgiants]

29. If you ever feel the need to say "I don't get its point"...

There probably is no point to be gotten. It's just weird for the sake of weird.

[Dastard Stepchild]

35. That was some strange shit....

But unbelievably creative.
It might give some people nightmares. :)

[giant_robot]

36. I soooo want to see all of this now!

But the combination of a dial-up connection and sluggish processor just doesn't allow me to do it.

By the way, I L-O-O-O-O-V-E surrealistic, disturbing, creepy shit. Don't listen to the other DUers, Rubber Johnny! You let your creep flag fly! :patriot:

[ghostsofgiants]

37. Fuck yeah!

There's actually a dvd available, accompanied by a 40-page book of drawings and photos. http://www.rubberjohnny.tv

Chris Cunningham needs to start making feature films.

[giant_robot]

39. Thanks for the link!

I still need to see what happens when the music starts, tho. Damn my prehistoric technology! :banghead:

[ghostsofgiants]

40. Haha, yes

Actually the parts with the music are the weakest parts in my opinion. Still cool though.

[texas1928]

38. It is a bit disturbing.

I mean even the dog kind of freaks me out.
