Watch: Uber Trippy, Mind-Melting Animated Short 'Eating in The Dark'

Eating in The Dark Short Film

"Having this would make you fully independent." I love stumbling across incredible animated shorts and this is another one that will melt your mind. In a good way… if that's possible. Eating in The Dark is an experimental animated short made by a Finnish animation filmmaker named Inari Sirola. The film follows a woman named Siro on her "quest for self discovery" as she's tormented by a yellow demon reminding her about all her mistakes. She wanted to make a film about identity. "I realised how fragile a person's identity can be and how easily we can get lost. Personally, when I'm feeling vulnerable, other people’s opinions and comments weigh more than they should." Featuring the voices of Inari Sirola, Susie Scott, and Ruanth Chrisley Thyssen. There is some clever storytelling in here in addition to all the mesmerizing animation.

‘Terminator: Dark Fate’ Trailer: Welcome to the Day After Judgement Day

Image
A new  Terminator: Dark Fate trailer is here, and one thing’s for sure: it’s a lot better than the first trailer we got. There’s plenty of dark, violent action in every frame of this trailer. There’s also plenty of  Linda Hamilton ‘s Sarah Connor being pretty badass. Will that be enough to draw in audiences? Can the lopsided  Terminator franchise be redeemed? Watch the latest  Terminator: Dark Fate trailer below and decide for yourself. Terminator: Dark Fate Trailer The  Terminator franchise has had some problems, to say the least. After  Terminator 2: Judgement , the series went off the rails.  Terminator 3 was  kind of watchable, but nowhere near as good as  T2 . And then everything that came after was a complete mess. The sane thing to do would be to let the franchise die. But like the terminators themselves, this series just keeps coming. It can’t be reasoned with. It doesn’t feel pity, or remorse, or fear. And it absolutely wi...

We’re only a handful of months away from the opening of Star Wars Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland Resort, and we are beginning to learn more specific details of what park guests can expect when visiting Batuu this Summer. Hit the jump to get a round-up of all of the new information and to see some new photos and concept art of what’s in store when you visit a galaxy far far away. Here is a round-up of new information about Galaxy’s Edge, which I’ve been able to compile thanks to the reports from  Gizmodo , Laughing Place ,  Nerdist , EW , and  OC Register . Please check out their stories for in-depth accounts of actually visiting the land under construction and interviewing creatives at WDI. For some reason, Disneyland doesn’t invite us to press events… even though we are one of the only big movie websites that write about their theme parks from a place of genuine love and excitement on a weekly basis. Reading these reports makes me jealous of all my colleagues who were i...
