So we have a new video up on the YouTube channel: What Makes Us Tick, a 1952 animated short about how the stock exchange works. It's a two part video, because YouTube sucks and even director's accounts can no longer post videos longer than ten minutes, and I don't wanna put the videos on Dailymotion because really, who goes to Dailymotion?

Anyway, this is a good one:

Check the videos section to the right to see two new Christmas themed videos that we've been pouring our heart and souls into:

The first is A Visit to Santa. After a several month hiatus, Very Incredible Movie Theater 4 is back and in the holiday spirit with A Visit to Santa Claus! This short was produced as a promo for a department store in the 1600s. Dick and Ann are kidnapped by a truly upsetting young elf and transported via Black Hawk to Santa's impenetrable North Korean stronghold. Can they make it out with their sanity, or will this hellish nightmare induce a lifelong battle with PTSD? Sit in your favorite chair, grab an egg nog, and gather the whole family, while Santa tries to destroy all you hold dear! Merry Christmas!

Up next is an animated version of Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer. Rudolph, it turns out, is a pathetic emo kid with a glowing red nose, who cries and listens to Hawthorne Heights and writes dopey poems about how no one can understand him. Luckily, Santa's there to save him and give his life purpose shortly before he swallows sixteen Amoxicillan pills in a misguided cry for help. 

Keep watching this space, as VIMT4 is starting to work on something a bit more...ambitious. Stay tuned!

If you're into punk rock, you owe it to yourself to check out www.shirtsforacure.com It's a website selling exclusive t-shirts from some awesome bands. The money goes...well, let's just copy & paste from their website for more info:

"The Syrentha J. Savio Endowment (SSE) was established by punk-rock photographer Mark Beemer in 2002. SSE provides financial assistance to underprivileged women who cannot afford expensive breast cancer medicine and therapy. The Shirts For A Cure Project (SFAC) was launched by SSE to give voice to the social concerns of punk bands and their many fans as well as to raise awareness about breast cancer prevention."

If you can support this awesome cause, please do. Fuck cancer.

Man, I've completely shit the bed on keeping this show updated. Sorry it's been so long, but I figured the two people who checked this site would be clamoring for SOMETHING.

Don't have a whole lot to add, we've sort of been on an unofficial hiatus, what with me working 19 days a week and Mike turning 25. But VIMT4 is still aroung, hopefully to have some stuff up soon.

In the meantime, I'd like to tease you with something: Einstein vs. Megaweapon. Coming soon!

You're still there? Okay, here's the deal: I was watching an episode of MST3K called Warrior of the Lost World, which featured, among other things, a supersonic computerized motorcycle named Einstein (highly annoying, BTW) and an awesome Killdozer ripoff called Megaweapon. I dozed off with the name Einstein vs. Megaweapon in my head and thought, what an awesome title for...something. I'm just not sure what. Sooooo....I thought I'd save it on the web for all to see, and maybe force myself to make something of it. I have the smallest germ of an idea as to what it would be, but I really want to hold myself to it. So watch this space, and hopefully by July I'll update the site again and have more info.
