'The Terrys'

Tim and Eric are some of the strangest comedic writers I've ever encountered. I was recommended their show by a friend a couple years back and found it hard to reconcile my ambivalent feelings of humor, disgust and embarassment.

Last month we found out that their new film "Tim and Eric's Billion Dollar Movie" would feature Hollywood big names such as Will Farrell, Will Forte, and Zach Galifianakis, but before that news broke - we got a small dose of their comedic wonder- and I do mean wonder - at the 2011 Sundance Film Festival.

Tim and Eric's perverse short film 'The Terrys' has as The Film Stage says, "crackpipes, dry humping, saliva exchange, full vaginal birth, and abuse of every kind" and "if twisted humor is your thing, this is heaven."

A thoroughly bizarre clip, I wouldn't try watching at work.

Heres the Youtube link if this grabs your interest:

New York Indian Film Festival Aims to be Indian Counterpart to Sundance

The NYIFF started in 2001 has grown in size and attention consecutively the last 10 years - with its focus on Indian independent and diaspora  films.

The ceator of the festival, Shivdasani, said the following of the festival's aspirations: "We want to establish NYIFF as the Indian counterpart to Sundance, add a film bazaar, grow the festival to a whole week of screenings, panels, awards, special events, international interest," she said. "We want to make it THE festival for Independent and Diaspora films from the Indian subcontinent."

This years festival will feature Disney's first ever Hindi action film "Do Dooni Chaar"

The plot of "Do Dooni Chaar" is the following, courtesy of wikipedia :)

Life can be tough for a man (Rishi Kapoor) who teaches at a school for a living, lives in a DDA flat in Delhi and is coping with the double digit inflation rates and single digit increments in his salary. Add to that, a teenage daughter, a fast-track son and a wife (Neetu Kapoor) who loves the good life. The life of the Duggals is passing by in simply taking care of the basics. Until one day, they decide to dream. Their ticket to dreaming comes in the form of a wedding invitation. An innocent little wedding invitation. What follows is a journey of chaos, realizations, calculations, confrontations and bonding. This crazy Duggals will fight it out at home (and the neighborhood) for what they think is a ‘good buy’ for the family! This family bonds in the most unexpected and hilarious situations. And just when they think they are sorted out, comes one big, lurking temptation. Much like the apple in the Garden of Eden. And then, begins another journey that will drive them, and you, pretty much nuts.

The Paris theatre will host the red carpet event on May 4th.
