Italian filmmaker Simon Rovellini has launched a Tumblr page dedicated to exploding the heads of actresses in classic Hollywood and Disney animated movies.
While Rovellini ‘s videos and GIFs on Exploding Actresses may offend cinephiles, anger feminists and titillate those with harboring a female decapitation fetish, they’re what we at Clatto define as romantic comedies.
Enjoy:
A trailer for Bobcat Goldthwait’s Willow Creek has gone online. The found-footage thriller follows Jim (Bryce Johnson) and his girlfriend Kelly (Alexie Gilmore) as they set out to find the missing link in a small California town known for its Big Foot sightings.
The Willow Creek trailer looks very Blair Witch, but with Goldthwait directing from his own script, you can bet your Police Academy box set that this is going to be something special. After all, this is the guy that gave us two of the most twisted and hilarious dark comedies ever: World’s Greatest Dad and Sleeping Dogs Lie.
