FilmDrunk’s very own video editor guy, Oliver Noble, put together this fine mash up of masturbation-hating, possible witch, Delaware Senatorial candidate Christine O’Donnell, and The Crucible.  It imagines what O’Donnell’s life would’ve been like had she been alive in the 1690s, and the only thing standing between her and a flaming witch pyre was Daniel Day-Lewis.  I always get the modern adaptation of Arthur Miller’s The Crucible starring Winona Ryder and Daniel Day-Lewis, mixed up with the Demi Moore/Gary Oldman Scarlett Letter. They both came out during 1995/1996′s witch fever, which also saw the release of The Craft and the subsequent, terrifying near-stardom of Fairuza Balk.  (The soundtrack to that included Our Lady Peace, Sponge, Elastica, AND Spacehog, incidentally).

More to the point, it seems like every show, Bill Maher has 10 new clips of Christine O’Donnell on his old show, Politically Incorrect, back when no one knew who she was.  He must have had her on 20 times.  Which makes me wonder: Is Bill Maher partially to blame for Christine O’Donnell being famous enough to run for Senate?  Discuss.

This is the first teaser trailer for Season of the Witch, from Gone in 60 Seconds director Dominic Sena, starring Nic Cage and Ron Perlman — that is, a guy whose face looks like a mask and a guy who’s usually wearing one, ha ch-cha cha cha.

14th-century knights transport a suspected witch to a monastery, where monks deduce her powers could be the source of the Black Plague.

I have to say, this trailer is a complete failure.  It chooses to focus solely on the spooky-Halloween-movie angle while ignoring the one aspect, which, above all else, is really going to sell this flick:  Nic Cage on a horse, motherf-cker!  POW!

Friday free for all is the time of the week when I post random videos, often involving kitties.  Send your tips to lance@filmdrunk.com.

Today’s Friday Free for All clip comes from Bestweekever, and involves “Twisty Cats”, which is a really cute name for HORRIBLY DEFORMED KITTENS PURPOSELY BRED THAT WAY BY AN EVIL WITCH!

“We thought, wull ifehckungittatwistycat [sic] they’re so cute.  What we didn’t realize was that the condition is not controllable.”

Well thanks, lady. Now we understand. You know, I think I speak for everyone here when I say, BURN HER!  BURN THE WITCH!  These unearthly demon spawn will haunt my nightmares for all eternity.  This is not what internet cat videos are supposed to be about.  Internet cat videos are supposed to be like this one: Read the rest of this entry »
