rubber johnny

rubber johnny short movie and booklet are out on DVD. dieter said he spotted it at waterloo, but i haven't confirmed that. he's prone to over-excitement on the weird and creepy. it's a short film by Chris Cunningham - he's done videos with Bjork & Aphex Twins. here's the writeup:

Rubber Johnny documents a 16-year-old, inbred mutant's solitary existence, locked in a pitch-black basement by his ashamed parents. They are TV addict rednecks who occasionally feed Johnny and yell at him for making noise. Johnny's only company in the basement is his little dog. His dog's I.Q. far outstrips Johnny's, who is a completely insane, bi-polar imbecile.

it even made snopes as a urban legend. ha. so be sure to FW:FW:FW:FW:OHMYGOD. SEND THIS TO ALL YOUR FRIENDS! it around. ha. + here's the little movie. u might wet your pants and cry out for your mommy. + pixelsurgeon review
