These online filmmakers just keep getting younger...
Much the same way some people are unnerved by ventriloqism or tiny-dogs-wearing-sweaters, I am unsettled by FUIKAMON's new video. I guess it has something to do with the kid opening his mouth too much when he lip-syncs. Or maybe it's the suspension of disbelief when the guy is shot by a household spray-bottle. Or maybe it speaks to the history of school shootings.
Whatever it is, this is a powerful, haunting "Garbage Day" remake.

Dateline: Ithaca
I never thought of Ithaca as a hotbed of irreverent comedy.
The following video could change all that.
Or not. I have to give a "sweep of the old Brooks broom" to these kids for doing more than just a re-enactment or an O.C. parody.
Though, I do think it's far-fetched that (SPOILER!) the girl accurately identifies the source material. I don't want to make crude generalizations, but in my limited experience with the fairer sex, I've found that chicks dislike the works of Stanley Kubrick, the 3 Stooges and the guy who made "Silent Night, Deadly Night 2". Okay, that's my Men-are-from-Mars, Women-don't-dig-Tom-Waits soapbox moment.
Here's the video:

Father's Day? No, Garbage Day.
I'll admit it: I was disappointed that nobody made a "Father's Day" video.
My only Father's Day tradition is watching the Father's Day segment of CREEPSHOW
Each year I'm reminded what a great dancer Ed Harris is...
Welcome to the party, Serabo!
Friends, please give a warm welcome to the newest super-star in “Garbage Day” inspired videos. He’s a self-described amateur actor-singer-wrestler and he likes making “goofy movies.” SERABO, you are just the kind of guy we’re looking for.
For starters, he delivered this “Garbage Day Spoof” -- he’s brought some nice elements to the mix, including Beethoven’s fifth, a cast of players and he begins the re-enactment not at the garbage but with Ricky’s confrontation with the law.
Enough of my yakking, see for yourself --
Days later he’s back with a virtual cocktail of B-movie genres, simply titled “Garbage Day? No, Payday”
Serabo’s next installment hits on a calendar holiday previously untapped by Garbage Day filmmakers. It’s “Garbage Day? No, President’s Day”
It would be easy to dismiss Serabo’s “Garbage Day? no, Christmas day!!!” as being too on-the-nose as a parody of “Silent Night, Deadly Night 2”
But consider this -- modern action movies are looking more like videogames, and Serabo offers a breath of fresh air by having the gunman take a long time with his homicidal act. It’s not too fast, it’s not too slow; it’s just right.
3 days later he’s made ANOTHER video. He’s keeping a brisk pace with his production schedule, he’s not making them on the weekends. Or maybe he’s shooting on the weekend and editing at night. I don’t know, who can say how Serabo’s mind works.
This Serabo guy brings it: the costumes, the music, the variety of firearms. He’s made 5 videos in less than a month and he really knows how to take a fall.
The videos might not be as clever as Somethingday’s, but this dude really believes in his art, and here at Garbagdays.blogspot.com, we salute him!
