The short film “Pencil Face” has been around for a little while (including a showing at Sundance last January), but it was new to me. New and creepy as hell.
Luckily muttering “WTF” is a renewable resource, because that’s what I’ve been doing, oh, all day. Congrats, “Pencil Face”! Sometimes I think I can’t be surprised anymore, and then, miraculously, something wonderful and strange and new goes ahead and does it.
PopWatchers, I’ve watched this a few times now and it just keeps getting creepier and more interesting. But it’s definitely going to haunt my nightmares. How about yours?
I was going to say it was really trying to hard. Then i got the end. WTF?
Freaky, Trippy, and Awesome, all at the same time.
I think im going to have nightmares tonight…
Ahhh! What was that?!
I’m sorry, but what’s the point of this? What does it say about people, how is it interesting? Is there anything that could persuade a person to call it art? And I totally saw the vortex thing coming as soon as it envisioned a lollipop.
It’s a pretty perfect little vignette exemplifying “Be careful what you wish for…” and “Things aren’t always what they seem”, two pretty powerful themes in life and art.
Sir Andrew, you obviously haven’t earned your title.
