Two Very Different Superhero Trailers

Two completely different superhero movies. One, "no duh." The other, "what the?"

Both very cool.

Shaking Edward Bristol's Foundations


I just came across high praise for Tater Tots of Love.

The blogger who wrote seems to be an avant-garde performer in Bristol. Look at his blog.

That a traditional high school show hit him so hard seemed to surprise him as much as his blog post surprised me:

The highlight of my Edinburgh Fringe as an audience member was undoubtedly Tater Tots of Love, this is an American high school musical. Trust me I was as shocked as you might be to hear this.

Essentailly the experience shook me to the foundations of my artistic practice: you don't need experimentation and the attendant obscurity, what you need is show tunes, big smiles and the ability to hit the high notes. Even better the whole things was probably the best response to Faust that I've seen.

I have included an audio sample of the finale for your enjoyment.

Thanks to the lovely Chloƫ Courtney for sending me the link.
