The Sunday Watch (33): CHILLING IN NORTH CAROLINA...AGAIN...

 

The Sunday Watch is a meme for bloggers in general where you talk about what movies and TV shows you have watched for the week.  This is like a weekly wrap up post where you discuss about your week with other bloggers, with discussions about movies, TV shows and shorts being the main attractions of these posts.  The goal of this meme is to discuss the various movies and TV shows that bloggers have watched with other bloggers and discuss our opinions on each movie and TV show being talked about.  If you haven't watched any movies or TV shows for the week, but you still want to participate in this meme, then you can talk about other things that don't deal with movies and TV shows, like video games, books or whatever personal thing happened in your life.  This meme is hosted every Sunday, but you can make these posts anytime of the week and also, if you participate in this meme, please link your Sunday Watch post in the links down below!

#TheSundayWatch

Hey everyone!  Man, I keep on not posting here as often as I want to.  So much has been happening to me over the last few months and I'm still trying to get everything under control.

Meanwhile, I'm back in North Carolina, chilling with my family!

* So, I've been watching lots of Aardman Animation's earlier shorts that came out of the 1980s and the 1990s and I have to admit, that most of them were pretty...DISTURBING.  So, this short called "Pop" was a very interesting short and yet, it's a pretty CREEPY short.  You guys will definitely see a full review of this short on this blog soon!

* "Loves Me, Loves Me Not" is another BIZARRE AND CREEPY short from Aardman Animations and it's one that I actually ended up really enjoying!  I'm surprised that this short got as dark as it did and yet, the animation in this short was simply beautiful! 

(HULU)

* It's been awhile since I last seen a "Predator" movie.  So, when I heard about the latest Predator movie "Predator: Killer of Killers," I just had to check out this movie and man, was this one of the best movies I've seen all year!  I just loved the animation in this movie and I loved the anthology set up of this film!

NONE!

ATTENTION SPONSORS AND SCREENERS!

 

Sorry that I haven't been on this blog for awhile now, but a lot of changes are going on and I wanted to let you guys know what those changes are.

So, the major change is that I have a new business email that will be used to contact me for business affairs, like sponsorships and movie screeners.  I wanted to create a business email so that way, it would be much easier for me to separate my personal email from my business email and I would have better organization over the requests I get.

If you would like to offer me any sponsorships or you would like to send me a screener for an upcoming movie, then please feel free to use my business email down below:

Rabbitearsblogbusiness12@hotmail.com

Also, if you would like to make a request for a movie or TV show for me to review, then you can either use the business email above or you can go to the Surreal Request Hole page and request a movie or TV show for me to review there.

[SHORTS REVIEW] Unedited Footage of a Bear (2014)

 

OR

Title: Unedited Footage of a Bear

Genre: Horror / Surrealism / Fantasy / Drama

Company: Adult Swim

Directed by: Alan Resnick   

Year: 2014

MPAA Rating / TV Rating: TV MA

Buy on:  N/A

WATCH IT ON YOUTUBE!

The short starts off with some cameramen filming a bear out in the wild.  But then suddenly, the short switches to a commercial called "Claridryl" and the commercial shows a woman named Donna taking the prescription drug and saying that her life has been better ever since she took Claridryl.  But then, the short starts to become a bit dark as Donna starts to see an evil version of herself out in the streets and her evil self tries to attack the real Donna.  Once Evil Donna leaves the real Donna in the streets, things take a dark turn once Evil Donna takes over Donna's life.

So, after I watched Too Many Cooks, I wanted to check out more of Adult Swim's Informercial series and man, was "Unedited Footage of a Bear" a wild ride!  Unlike "Too Many Cooks," "Unedited Footage of a Bear" doesn't have that much humor in the story, as the story is about a woman dealing with the side effects of the Claridryl drug and how it has a negative impact on her life.  What I really loved about this short was how the story switched from being about a bear to being about a woman dealing with a drug addiction.  This sudden switch in the story really made this short so interesting to watch and I was actually shocked by how dark this short got once Donna's hallucinations got worse as the short goes on.  This was also one of the weirdest shorts I've seen, besides "Too Many Cooks," as we, the audience, can't really tell what's real and what's not real as Donna starts hallucinating everything going on and we can't tell if the actions that she has committed throughout this short was really Evil Donna's doing or her own doing.  I also loved the fact that this short shows the realistic side effects of drug addiction (albeit in a weird way) as it's rare to see a short that parodies commercials tackle such a tough subject in such a creepy and effective way.

My main issue with this short was that it was pretty confusing.  I understand that this short is probably looking into Donna's madness as she becomes addicted to Claridryl.  But at times, I can't tell what's really going on with the story.  Like, is Evil Donna real or is she a figment of Donna's imagination and Donna was the one who was committing the horrible acts throughout this short?

Overall, "Unedited Footage of a Bear" is one of the most intriguing and dark shorts ever created by Adult Swim.  I would recommend this short film if you were a fan of "Too Many Cooks" and you want to watch another Adult Swim informercial that has a dark twist to the story.

• Too Many Cooks

• Slow Bob in the Lower Dimensions

• Quasi at the Quackadero
