dude, you all know that Saul Bass was the fcuking man, herspecially when it came to movie posters, title sequences, and logo design, but did you know that he alsoÂ dabbled in filmmaking??? Â he released one full length feature that bombed, and 5 shorts, one an Oscar winner – Why Man Creates [WATCH!], and two others that were nominated by the Academy as well!

I was lucky enuff to catch a rare screening ofÂ 4 of them shorts, thanks to Lincoln Center, and inÂ particularÂ his little seen/known short from 1984 -Â QuestÂ (it doesn’t even have a wiki page!). Â Shiz was based off of a Ray Bradbury short story, and was about a society of people stuck on some planet where they live their entire life over a span of 8 days, but are trying to live longer than that(!!!). Â Shiz was truly incredible, both visually and emotionally! Â It was like watching The Neverending StoryÂ meetsÂ Tron meeting Return of The Jedi meets that 1984 Apple commercial meets like a zillion of those creepy cool 70s/80s sci-fi book covers!!

SAUL FCUKING BASS + BAD FUTURE = MY TOTAL JAMMY JAM, YO!!!

Un-Unsolved Mysteries

15. Apr, 2013 2 Comments

love itz when the internets solve my unsolved mysteries. in the 7th grade – me saw some short movie in Mrs Katz’ English class that blew my mind, but as time passed, could never figure out what it was called, and yet the stark imagery of this short movie of mind blowedness never left my blown mind. all I remembered about the story was that it was about a girl who grew up on earth but now lives on a planet where it rains all the time, and every once in forever, the sun shines for like 2 seconds on this rainy planet. her classmates had never seen the sun, and they tease her and stuff. JERKS!! won’t reveal what happens, but based on that tiny bit of plotness, I decided to goooooogle it the other day and BAM – unsolved mystery no mo!! it was a 1982 PBS TV production of Ray Bradbury’s short story All Summer in a Day, and after watching it again, it STILL blows my mind (which is no sirprise, since I live for reliving sh!t from my childhood). it co-stars Keith Coogan (Uncle Fester’s grandsonÂ /Â babysitting movie alumnus) and gots cinematography by There Will Be Blood‘s Oscar Winner Robert Elswit!!!
