putting the j in jjosh

This is an animated film, done in the style of old 8-bit video-game animation. If you ever went to an arcade or played Nintendo, you’ll recognize the style. It also tweaks the conventions of those old games, coming from Japan and full of "what-the-sh*t?!?!" moments that might have made sense in Japan but make no sense in our culture.

It’s done by Paul Robertson, downloaded from his Livejournal page — he did an earlier film that was like Street Fighter but I didn’t like it nearly as much as this one. Even though this one feels like it gets in my head and dances like a bumblebee telling where the honey is.

All this is a way of saying that this film is completely messed up. Especially by the time you get to the end. There’s this pig, and Buddha gets involved, and then these Violence Kings appear and so on.

It’s called Kings of Power 4 Billion %

I was going to suggest getting intoxicated in some way before watching it, but having watched the whole 12 and a half minutes I don’t think you’d make it.

So stay in your right mind for this one, ‘cuz it’s going to make you feel like you drank a gallon of anti-freeze or something…good luck…
