“The Forrester Dynasty” by Sketchman

Only in their nightmares are Joel, Mike, and Jonah haunted by the thought of having the Forrester Dynasty win over their souls and claim the world through the worst movies ever made. Luckily, this shocking image of the mads will never come to light. We can only hope that our boys up in the Satellite of Love will fight another day while facing the terrible odds against them.

******Major William Gart****** “I DON’T KNOW ED HARRINGTON. I NEVER HEARD OF HIM BEFORE. I THINK HE MUST BE AN ILLUSION OR SOMETHING.”

*****Col. Clegg Forbes***** “OH, I KNOW HE’S NOT AN ILLUSION. I KNOW. HE’S BEEN YANKED OUT OF HERE. HE’S BEEN TAKEN AWAY. HE TOLD ME, REMEMBER? HE TOLD ME MAYBE, MAYBE SOMEBODY OR SOMETHING – MADE A MISTAKE – LET US GET THROUGH WHEN WE SHOULDN’T HAVE GOTTEN THROUGH. THEY’VE GOT TO COME BACK TO GET US – SOMEBODY UP THERE.”

“AW, BILL THIS IS WEIRD, JUST PLAIN WEIRD. LIKE I JUST DON’T BELONG JUST LIKE I, I DON’T BELONG. AW, NO! I DON’T WANT THIS TO HAPPEN! BILL, I DON’T WANT IT TO HAPPEN! I DON’T WANT IT TO HAPPEN!”

‘And When the Sky Was Opened’ - The Twilight Zone 1959

my favorite scene from my favorite episode 😎

Jospeh Tate's compelling essay 'Radiohead's Antivideos: Works of Art in the Age of Electronic Reproduction' explores the aesthetics of 'test specimens' in computer animated videos titled 'antivideos', 10-30 second videos released on the internet along with Radiohead's Kid A. The test specimens, wide-eyed bears with murderous grins punctuated the art of Radiohead from CD packaging to website images and promotional stickers. Although reminiscent of character-mascots that establish a product's brand identity the bears are read as protagonists in a self-referential aesthetic that parodies the band's commodification and the operation of capitol at large.
