The Batman vs The Joker by Jim Lee


I follow a ton of people on Twitter (click here and follow us!), but recently I have become bored with the social media app. To many people are not really using the system for the purposes that it can be used for. But every once in a blue I see something great published by someone, and it restores my hope in the service. Jim Lee, artist extraordinaire  Dc Comics co-publisher, recently tweeted out a killer sketch of The Batman fighting his arch nemesis The Joker. It is captioned that it is a 'Christmas piece for a good cause' and I am pretty sure that lee did it himself, although since there is very little info on the post I can't be sure. I am also a huge sucker for black & white pieces, so there is that. I always liked the way Lee drew Batman, and it does seem to be in his style. Follow Lee on Twitter by clicking here. thanks for restoring the faith for me Jim! Enjoy the piece after the jump...

My Neighbor Totoro by Masse Hjetman


Wow, I love it when doing CCD brings cool new artists to my attention. As anyone who has a twitter account knows, every once and a blue you get an email saying you have a new follower. More often than not (at least on my end) it is some sort of spammer, but yesterday I got hit up by a Swedish graphic artist by the name of Masse Hjetman. I clicked the link to his page and came across some great minimalistic style movie posters... there were some popular movies (Titanic, Fight Club, Star Wars) & some others not so popular (High Fidelity, Almost Famous)... but it was his most obscure piece that I loved the most. His design for the Japanese animated film My Neighbor Totoro is excellent!!!! Totoro is one of my favorite animated films from my childhood (Hayao Miyazaki FTW!!! )and brings back great memories for me, as it was one of the first foreign films I seen and lead to my love of international cinema (Akira was a big part of that as well). Check out Hjetman's work by clicking here and here and see his amazing Totoro piece after the jump...

Adam Koford Re-designs The Twitter Logo To Be A Bit More Geek Friendly


Twitter is one of the most used social networking platforms on the Internet right now, and the logo is one of the most recognizable on the planet. That blue bird is known by everyone... but even something as iconic as this could use a bit of a sprucing up, geek style! Artist Adam Koford has created literally dozens of re-designs of the Twitter logo featuring a ton of geek icons, such as Star Wars, Marvel & DC Comics, and even Internet Memes like Keyboard Cat. These are great, and you can see all of them on Adam's Twitter page or a few in this gallery here. You can see my five favorite after the jump....

An Argument of Depravity Pt. 1: The Human Centipede 2 Vs. A Serbian Film

Yesterday I decided to push my already twisted perspective on what is to terrible to watch for normal people to an all time new low, even for me. You see, lets just say that I have a history of watching/exposing others to seriously demented movies. You want examples... OK. I'm the guy who was 7 years old and renting EVERY SINGLE HORROR title in the mom & pop video shop on 110 st & Liberty Avenue because the teens who worked there would rent anything to anybody as long as there were no adults around. I'm also the guy who took his very normal girlfriend on a date to see a midnight screening of 'Cannibal Holocaust',which resulted in her crying in the car and almost breaking up with me. I'm even the guy had his 2 year old son in a highchair watching rare Fulci & Argento DVD's because I figured he wouldn't remember them (he does... and now he is a horror fanatic like I was at his age). I am a deviant when it comes to watching films. Yet when I sat down yesterday for a double feature of The Human Centipede 2 & A Serbian Film, I had no way to take into account for what was about to happen to me. Let's just say I am changed... changed forever. And not in a good way... not at all.

Click after the jump to read more (spoilers & depravity ahead)...



Welcome to the Thunderdome, bitch!!!
Since I was going to be home and the Twitterverse/Facebook world was buzzing about Human Centipede 2 being on Video On Demand, I figured I would give it a shot. Once I saw that it was available on IFC On Demand, I made it happen... but first I fried up a lovely turkey & cheddar cheese omelet. As I sat down and started the film, I realized that I had clearly made a mistake. Scenes from the 1st Centipede jumped across the screen, and I felt my stomach turning as I caught my first glimpse of Martin (the new bad guy). I even tweeted the following:
"About to watch Human Centipede 2 on . Love my girl I know this is gonna be a tough 1right after breakfast! "
I knew my instincts were right when the action began, and from the very beginning Martin does not disappoint. This maniac hits people in the head with crow bars, shoots a few folks in the kneecaps (just to disable them, not to kill them), and duct tapes the shit out of them in preparation for his attempt at a real life Human Centipede. Yup, in this film (H.C.2) Martin exists in our world, and he has been driven crazy trying replicate the experiment the good Doctor executed in Human Centipede 1. He works in some dank underground garage which provides him with countless people no one will miss as he attempts to expand the Centipede from 3 people to 12. Good Fucking God.

Hot, no???
Director Tom Six uses black and white for most of the movie, and I have to say it makes everything even more fucked up. Creepy ass martin walks around in his undies with his over-sized belly sticking out and his lunatic mother nagging the shit out of him. He is stockpiling bodies for the experiment left and right... and then he has the best idea yet: He is going to invite the original actor & actresses from  Centipede 1 (Ashlynn Yennie, Ashley Williams, and Akihiro Kitamura) to his hometown under the guise of a  false audition with Quentin Tarantino so that he can include them in his 12 person Centipede!!! What a great fucking idea... wow, mad points to Tom Six! This is a great way to get the old gang back, because even though their CHARACTERS died in H.C. 1, they are alive in the real world, right? All in all, very meta...

So I am not going to get into full on specifics on each kidnapping/handicapping Martin gets into, but lets just say they are all very brutal and not very hygienic. Two scenes stick out to me the most. One involved a black couple with a baby... and that one even freaked me out. I even tweeted this afterward:

I don't know how this black 2 year old baby is going to factor into The Human Centipede 2, but I must admit that I am intrigued.
Lets just say it was bad. Thats that. Then there was the scene when Martin finally got tired of his mom's shit. First he lets his pet centipede (which is gigantic and gross as fuck) take a bite out of her face, then he caves in her skull with his trusty crow bar.

Disgusting... and well played!
All the way through... to the point where you can see out the back. Awesome. He then goads his Nazi skinhead neighbor down into the house and completes the hometown sweep by kneecapping him with a bullet and tying him up. A truly excellent scene, and so gross that I nearly vomited at one point. This is how you do torture flicks. Take notice...

The lovely Ashlynn Yennie. When she is not forced ass to mouth with her co-stars she cleans up nice!
Out of the original three, only the lovely Ashlynn Yennie shows for her proposed audition with Maestro Tarantino. She is psyched, but when Martin escorts her to the warehouse, turns on the lights and reveals the tied up victims... well, lets just say her attitude changes a bit. Martin cracks her one with the crow bar (this gets a bit repetitive throughout the movie, and Martin looks ridiculous doing it.) Guess who is going to be the head of the ass to mouth choo-choo train? Six must really like Yennie, because she gets an upgrade from the back of the bus to the front this time around. No shit shakes for her, thank you very much. But I digress....

Martin takes this guys plan...

... and adds a bit of his own artwork to the gig...
... and then implements these tools to do the job!
Martin begins his archaic attempt at duplicating Herr Doctor's insane experiment, and this begins with him knocking out every bodies teeth with a hammer and disconnecting their patella tendons so as they can't escape. These acts of "surgery" by Martin are extremely brutal to watch and I found myself flinching constantly.

Even when you look away, you can't escape the cruching sound each blow makes...
It was paining me to watch this. So I checked in on my Twitter. imagine my surprise when I saw this tweet from Ashlynn Yennie:
CCD_blog ohhhh! Have fun with that.... Eeek 
Yeah buddy!!! The head of the Centipede, Ashlynn Yennie herself, tweeted me back. Ashlynn, you are down 4 life over here at CCD!!! God I love the life of a low level blogger such as myself... anyways,while I am high on life because someone as lovely as Ashlynn herself decided to answer me back on Twitter, Martin is getting the gang together... but unlike the Doctor's sanitary lab that showed no blood and shit, Martin's place of work is covered in blood, feces and unsanitary stuff. It is fucking disgusting. Then the pregnant broad Martin didn't apply to the chain-o-humans gets up and runs out... yeah, I just typed that. He gives chase, she gets in a car, she births a baby... yup, I just typed that as well.

Yup, I just had a baby while on the run from Martin...
Then she jams on the accelerator to escape... crushing said newborns skull in the process. Remember when I said this was one of the worse movies I ever fucking seen? yup, this was the exact moment that this thought occurred to me. Baby head crushed by his birth mother stepping on an accelerator? Yup, Tom Six is officially the worse human being on the planet Earth...

Yennie at the front of the shit-train
I'm not gonna ruin the final climax of the movie, but all I will say is that it gets even sicker. Yup, sicker the baby death by gas pedal. The aforementioned Ms. Yennie gets her shot at redemption, there is some barbed wire rape play, a funnel filled with laxative, the 'Pede splits into two, we get another appearance of Martin's pet gargantuan real life centipede... all in all, it ends just as sick as it had been. I barely held down my omelet.

Did you like my movie... see you in your dreams!!!
It was official... Human Centipede 2 was the sickest, most revolting movie I had ever fucking seen. Shit, it was the sickest thing I had ever even heard of. When the word about the shit that goes on in this movie starts to spread around, I am sure that I will hear many a story about people having a "2 girls - 1 cup" type reactions to the mayhem. Martin may be one of the most revolting leads in the history of horror films... and I am sure I will be seeing his fat, naked belly in my fucking nightmares for years to come. The images in this sick as fuck film would be etched in my head forever... surely nothing was going to top this one on the gross-out scale for a long fucking time.

My ratings for The Human Centipede 2: As a regular movie 5/10... as a sick gross-out piece of cinematic gold that should be watched as a badge of honor: 25/10


When I finished this movie, I tweeted the following:

No shower in the world can clean me after but I'm not even trying cause I have A Serbian Film up next. Torture Films FTW!!
I meant it. I felt unclean and unpure. So naturally I did what any other normal person would do: I put on what has been called the bleakest, dankest, most disturbing film ever recorded and distributed to the world. A Serbian Film is the stuff of legends... but would it be bad enough to knock off the current gross-out champ, Human Centipede 2 from my sickest movie ever list? Tune back in to CCD tomorrow for Pt. 2 of this article and find out!!!

Meet Milos... star of A Serbian Film and nightmares everywhere!
See You Manana!

Damon Lindelof Tells George R.R. Martin To Eat A Dick...


I love when famous people get mad at each other... the pettiness comes out between them and it usually makes for some good laughs. In a recent interview with The New Yorker, 'Game of Thrones' author George RR Martin claimed he didn't want to "Pull a Lost" and mess up the ending of his 'Songs of Fire & Ice' book series. This lead 'Lost' showrunner and CCD fave Damon Lindelof  to go off on Martin via Twitter, calling out the author for talking shit. Now before you get all mad at Damon for being sensitive, he clarified his beef with Martin... he is not upset that Martin didn't like the ending of 'Lost', he is just mad that Martin tried to equate "Pulling a Lost" with a shitty ending. I agree with Damon... how are you going to bash a show that ruled the airwaves for six years when your show hasn't even begun to air yet?


Here are a few of Lindelof's tweets:
"I don't take issue with his opinion, I take issue with the fact that he coined 'Pulling a Lost' as empirically 'f--king up the ending,'"
"Not to mention, he agreed to say nice things if I sent him Mr. Friendly's beard, which I did"

"I've just been informed George is working on his feud response. I'll have it in FIVE YEARS! #NOYOUDINT"


Martin apparently heard that Lindelof was abusing him, so he fired back in another interview yesterday. Here are some of the highlights:
"When I reached the end and they hadn't pulled it altogether, in fact, they left a big turd on my doorstep," says the author bluntly, "I was pretty upset...it was about the second episode of Lost, I said, 'Oh, they're all dead.' They're all dead. That's what it would be in a half-hour Rod Sterling Twilight Zone, in 1958. And they took what? How many seasons to get to the point where they were all dead?"
This sent Lindelof over the edge, and he ended the arugument with these Tweets:
First: "They weren't dead the whole time." And second? "1997 called. It wants its web design back."
Hahahahahaha.... in Lindelof's defense, Martin's website is pretty terrible (see for yourself). I love this argument, especially that he attacks Martin's ridiculous beard and inability to finish & publish a book in a reasonable period of time. But I am looking forward to 'Game of Thrones'... keep the humor coming Damon. Don't let this bearded fuck talk shit about our favorite show!!!! And if he does, tweet this pic of him to teach him a lesson!!!

Tarantino/Coen Brothers Awesomeness Courtesy Of Elizabeth Banks

If you don't know who Elizabeth Banks is, then you must live under a f'n rock... or maybe you are stuck in some Avatar body on Pandora... either way, you better make sure you know who this chick is. She starred in Zack and Miri Make A Porno, but has lots of memorable small roles like the book store clerk in The 40 Year Old Virgin and JJ Jameson's secretary in Spiderman . But that's not why she is gracing our presence over here at CCD today. Yesterday, on her twitter account, Ms. Banks posted this amazing link and absolutely made my day. Quentin Tarantino is my favorite director that is still alive (Kubrick is King!!!) and The Coen Brothers are in my top ten filmmakers of all time as well. Both of them have had some great flicks, memorable characters, and awesome soundtracks to accompany their films. So why not mash it up and see what you end up with. Well... this is what you come up with, and it is FUCKING AWESOME!!! Thank you, Ms. Banks, for showing your inner geek to the world and being cool as shit on top of smoking hot. If you want to follow her on Twitter, click here. Enjoy the video, cause we sure did!!!
