CLAYMATION > CG

01.26.09 Written by Vince Mancini

This is the trailer for Mary and Max, which recently opened the Sundance Film Festival and has possibly my favorite line from a trailer since Black Dynamite:

“In America, babies are laid by Catholic nuns.  If you’re an atheist, they’re laid by dirty lonely prostitutes.”

What can I say, I’m a sucker for dirty lonely prostitutes.  The film’s about a lonely 8-year-old in Australian (voiced by Toni Collette) and her pen pal, a fat, 44-year-old Jew with Asperger’s living in New York City.  Believe it or not, that’s Philip Seymour Hoffman doing the voice.  Coincidentally, ass burgers are also what your mother eats.  *word association rimshot*

AUSTRALIAN FOR CLAY

12.29.08 Written by Vince Mancini

This is the trailer for Israeli filmmaker Tatia Rosenthal’s $9.99, which premiered at the Toronto Film Festival and opened in Los Angeles earlier this month.  It looks like your basic indie search-for-the-meaning-of-life film — oh, except the entire thing is shot in insanely realistic-looking claymation.  Looks pretty f’n trippy.  Although not casting Mickey Rourke seems like an almost criminal oversight.

ZOMBIE CLAYMATION: ‘CHAINSAW MAID’

07.01.08 Written by Vince Mancini

After the jump, I’ve got an awesome zombie claymation short called Chainsaw Maid.  If I need to tell you anything else about this to make you want to watch it, it’s probably not going to work out between us.  


Thanks to Robo for the tip
