Friday Afternoon Videos: My Banana Hands, Sweding Elm Street, and more

Here's some crap to brighten your day...

A Nightmare on Elm Street ... "sweded"
What used to be "affectionate recreation" has been dubbed "sweding", a term that will get a lot of play once Michel Gondry's Be Kind Rewind comes out in a few weeks. I think Gus van Sant technically brought the questionable art form in to the mainstream with his shot-by-shot Psycho remake, but the low-fi fan-created recreations are generally much more fun.

Check out A Nightmare on Elm Street in just five minutes, with all the major setpieces intact. Seriously, the woman who plays Ronnee Blakley is just about the best thing EVER.

Jane Fonda says "Cunt" on The Today Show
I really thought I couldn't love this woman any more, especially since her brilliant "Cooking with Feminists" segment on The Colbert Report. But the bitch went and upped her game.

My Hands Are Bananas
Why, you're right! They are!

Friday Afternoon Videos: My Bloody Valentine, The Kills, The Ronnie Horror Picture Show

You may have heard the announcement yesterday that they're officially remaking My Bloody Valentine, probably one of the best slashers out there. Patrick Lussier, who brought us such forgettable direct-to-video flicks as White Noise 2, Prophecy 3, and Dracula 2000 2 and 3 (he also did the abortion of a theatrical original, which I saw on Christmas Day and from which I emerged with my uncle to find a dead dog frozen solid stuck into the top of a snowbank in the parking lot), looks to continue his record here.

In memoriam, here's a 1981 television spot for the classic Canadian pick-fest.

I've been a big fan of The Kills for a while, but their new single, "Cheap and Cheerful" and its accompanying video are fucking awesome. "I want you to be crazy cause you're boring baby when you're straight." I dare you to not shake ass.

Interesting, this Ronnie Horror Picture Show parody of Ronald Reagan from 1980 (featuring Michael Richards and Larry David!) is just about as unfunny as the fact that the asshole was elected in the first place. (From the short-lived ABC sketch show Fridays.)

Friday Afternoon Videos: Looker, Gay Nightmare, and more!

Thought A Nightmare on Elm Street 2: Freddy's Revenge (The Gaypex of Horror Cinema) was as queer as it could possibly get? Think again!

She's a Lookaaaaaaaaaaaah!

Is it just me, or does this Gay Hulk MADTV character remind you of Perez Hilton?

Super-eerie video for equally-creepy song "What's a Girl to Do" by Bat for Lashes.
