Here’s an all too brief extract from Daniel Martinico’s 15-minute epic, Khaaaaaan! The film features the expressive genius of Mr William Shatner, suitably enhanced, and “the single most dramatic syllable in science fiction history.” Stay with it and watch closely. The suspense is unbearable.

Now wash your eyes. That’s distilled Shatner. Via Metrolander.

I think you’ll like this. Here’s the trailer for Jeanie Finlay’s Goth Cruise, a documentary following 150 Goths on a five day sea journey from New Jersey to Bermuda and back again. With 2,500 “Norms” for company. Brace yourselves for some coloured hair and collective non-conformism.

“I’m really not Goth. I enjoy the aspect of the music… and the dressing up. But when it comes down to it, I don’t think I fit the Goth template.”

If you possess black lipstick and a counter-cultural attitude, you’ll be thrilled to hear this year’s outing takes in Key West and Cozumel, Mexico.
