2016 is coming to a close and you know what that means for us movie fans, we're going to start seeing everyone's end of the year list and video compilations. This video compilation comes from video editor Louis Plamondon, a.k.a. Sleepy Skunk. It features over 281 films in just a little over six minutes! The creator of the video says that he feels like it was the most challenging one for him to put together yet. 2016 was packed full of a ton of incredible movies, and this video does an awesome job reminding us of how great of a year it's been for movie geeks. ...

I thought the first trailer for Tom Cruise's The Mummy looked a lot like a Mission: Impossible film, only with a heavy supernatural element. It looks like it could have been a crazy storyline for Mission: Impossible 6! Well, video editor Louis Plamondon, a.k.a. Sleepy Skunk, thought the exact same thing and made a fantastically fun trailer mashup for Screen Crush using footage from The Mummy and Mission: Impossible - Ghost Protocol. He calls it "Mission: Impossible - Mummy Protocol," and you can enjoy the fruits of his labor below.

With the final film in The Hunger Games franchise coming out, Vulture released a video that shows us what the franchise would have been like if it was produced back in 1992. It has a very fun retro VHS look and feel to it, and the voiceover narration is perfection because it was done by “In a World” voiceover artist Don Lafontaine. You’ll definitely recognize the voice when you hear it! It was such a nice little touch to the video. It was created by Louis Plamondon, aka Sleepy Skunk, and if you grew up in the 90s, then you’re gonna enjoy it.

This week, moviegoers around the world will get their final glimpse of The Hunger Games' dystopian future. But first, we want you to enjoy The Hunger Games' dystopian ... past? In this week's Vulture Remix, we imagine what the megahit franchise would have looked like if it had been launched in the heady days of the early 1990s, when our visions about the dangers of technology and government were much more Day-Glo than they are today. Video artist Louis Plamondon (a.k.a. Sleepy Skunk) stepped up to the pixelated plate. Enjoy the static, and stick around for the twist. Speaking of the future, don't forget to come back every Monday for more Vulture Remixes! And regarding the past, you can always check out our Vulture Remix archive, featuring such videos as the one where Avengers: Age of Ultron came out in 1995 or the one where Miss Piggy sings Rihanna.

Can you name the first movie based on a Marvel Comics property? It wasn't anything to do with the current Marvel Cinematic Universe, nor was it 2000's X-Men or 1998's Blade. Before all of those big-screen, big-profit triumphs, Marvel made a wild bet that the character America wanted to watch at the cineplex was ... Howard the Duck. In 1986, George Lucas co-produced a film based on Marvel's bizarre cult-favorite character, who was an extraterrestrial, anthropomorphic, wisecracking duck-creature named Howard. The movie was, to put it mildly, a rotten egg. But now that Marvel properties are a big business, the company should reckon with its history and embrace its first movie hero. His tiny, jokey cameo last year was just the beginning. It's time for Howard to fully join the McU. Here, then, is an all-new "Vulture Remix" from video artist Louis Plamondon (a.k.a. Sleepy Skunk), in which we place...

Ah, to be a horny moviegoer in the 1970s. It was the era of high-end, widely watched pornographic features like Deep Throat, The Opening of Misty Beethoven, and Behind the Green Door. Sure, the flicks were obscene, but there was something so damn charming about them. Sadly, today's pornography is all gonzo nonsense, but the tradition of carefully crafted sex appeal lives on in the Magic Mike series, whose latest installment, Magic Mike Xxl, grinds into theaters this week. For the inaugural episode of our new "Vulture Remix" series (tune in every Monday!), video artist Louis Plamondon, a.k.a. Sleepy Skunk, has put together this loving reimagining of the Magic Mike Xxl trailer as though it were being released to a seedy theater near you in 1976 or so. It's technically Sfw, but be careful — you might blush.Footage sources: Russ Meyer's Fanny Hill; Vixen!; Eruption; Black Snake; La...

Mere days remain until Mad Men reaches its conclusion. But as you prepare to weep into your Scotch and get snot all over your bespoke mid-century handkerchief, just close your eyes and let the record player of your mind scratch out one of the show's most wonderful qualities: its musical numbers. Yes, almost from day one, Matthew Weiner has chocked his beloved series full of moments in which characters burst into song. Sure, it's usually for some in-show reason, but taken as a whole, the thing feels like a damn musical sometimes. So ... we decided to turn it into a musical. In honor of Mad Men's finale, we present our latest video remix from artist Louis Plamondon, a.k.a. Sleepy Skunk, in which we entice you to come see the Broadway smash Mad Men: The Musical! Buy your ludicrously overpriced tickets now.

In 1995, Marvel Comics had virtually no presence in Hollywood. Captain America, Iron Man, Black Widow, and the like were all exiled to print pages, far from the silver screen. But, we thought, what if they hadn't been? We asked remix artist Louis Plamondon, a.k.a. Sleepy Skunk, to give us a vision of that beautiful alternate universe, in which the biggest film of 1995 was Avengers: Age of Ultron, an explosion-filled popcorn flick in the vein of Independence Day and True Lies, movies whose extremely ’90s trailers had a certain magic that today's teasers lack. Revel in this vision of what a mid-'90s Age of Ultron trailer would've looked like (complete with "In a world"–esque voice-over), and then pick it up on VHS at your local Blockbuster.

I don't know about you, but I personally can't wait for the post-apocalyptic world to get here. I've seen so many movies set in this dystopian future that I think I'm ready to survive it, so bring it on! I'd like to film all my adventures on a GoPro, but I imagine there will be no electricity or internet to share it, so that sucks. Anyway, here a nicely cut movie supercut featuring several sci-fi films that take place in a post-apocalyptic world. Thanks to Movies.com and Louis Plamondon, a.k.a. sleepyskunk, who cut the video together. ...

Everyone likes to watch the world on the brink of extinction. We may not ever want it to happen, but oh how we love watching movies about it. The future as depicted in movies is often beautiful and horrific at the same time, and so we've created this little supercut that helps celebrate the fantastical fictional futures we love to look at, but never ever want to experience first hand. There are over three dozen films in the mix, covering everything from Blade Runner to Hardware to Cloud Atlas, and while they're not all strictly dystopias, they do all represent some alternate-reality, sci-fi landscapes we love. We hope you enjoy what our buddy Louis Plamondon (aka @sleepyskunk) cooked up below. Movies in order of appearance...

Here's a new video from Screen Junkies that features several scenes from films in which superheroes introduce themselves. If you think about it, it's got to be a little weird for superheroes to introduce themselves the way they do. How do they know people are actually going to take them seriously? I would think in real life, they would get laughed at a lot.
Here's the superhero roll call, which was edited together by Louis Plamondon.

At some point in 2010, I stumbled across a film site start-up called The Sleepy Skunk. All I remember in the beginning was a bunch of photoshopped pictures involving a rather stocky skunk and various members of the Hollywood elite. I eventually made the acquaintance of its founder, Louis Plamondon, and after talking to him I found that he had an ambition to start a website dedicated to his views on how Hollywood should be running the show. As the surrogate for his (and also, the public’s) views on film production and marketing progressed, his anthropomorphic avatar of filmic justice would come to remember June 2012 as a hell of a month.
With about a week to go until The Amazing-Spider Man’s release, Sony had up to that point released about 25 minutes of the film’s contents online. It isn’t uncommon for a film that needs some serious buzz...

Prima Parte - The Pruitt-Igoe Myth: Pruitt-Igoe was a large urban housing project that became infamous for symbolizing the shattered dreams of many and was subject to a great documentary this year. By the late 1960's, it had gone from a promise of a better future for thousands of families to a place of desolation, poverty and crime. Not unlike the fate of its inhabitants, many characters in this year's motion pictures have had to endure a vision of the future that demanded their hopes to make room for despair. From the...

Here's a fun video created by Louis Plamondon a.k.a @sleepyskunk that re-imagines the classic horror film The Exorcist as a 1980's style sitcom. It surprisingly works very well. It's amazing what a little light music and a laugh track can do. I also like that he threw in some vintage '80s commercials. It's kind of like the The Shining sitcom that we posted last month.

Welcome to the weekend. I am the new Fsr editor specifically covering Saturday and Sunday, and I’m kicking off, as I will each Saturday morning, with a recap of the site’s coverage from the previous seven days. I’ll start by getting the formality over with in linking to my own “Better Know a Reject” introductory profile. I’m actually not full of myself, but that post didn’t really fit anywhere else in this roundup. Now, let’s play catch up. Tiff Begins First of all, this week saw the start of the 2012 Toronto International Film Festival, and our man Andrew Robinson is on the beat. Ahead of the opening, he offered a list of 12 Most Anticipated Movies playing the event, including new works from the Wachowskis, Terrence Malick and Joss Whedon. First up from Andrew’s onsite coverage is a review of the “interesting” but “a bit uneven” documentary Far Out Isn’t...

"In order to ensure that its various plot elements and surprises remain unrevealed, this trailer is only based on the first half of the film." It's a statement you could be seeing before U.S. trailers — if American companies start taking France's lead, that is. Our friends at Film School Rejects spotted this statement on website Sleepy Skunk (from site master Louis Plamondon) who has been vocal about his distaste for movie marketers and their onslaught of previews that usually reveal far too much information. Hollywood's focus on a movie's success being measured in gross ticket sales and nothing more is certainly part of the problem, reflected in these nonchalant advertisers that treat film ads in the same manner that they would...

For the past few days a comical and depressing mash-up of the marketing materials for The Amazing (and pretty good) Spider-Man has taken the internet by storm. Louis Plamondon – who was today’s Reject Radio’s fine guest – made a short film out of all the footage Sony has released, nearly nailing the film down beat by beat. Speaking to the film’s director Marc Webb today, his response was simple: just don’t watch it. If you care about the movie, then why delve more into spoiler territory? When asked if he had seen it yet, Webb responded, “I have not seen it, but, listen, I think most movies reveal as much stuff. That’s a marketing department thing, so I wasn’t necessarily involved in that. If you don’t want to watch it, don’t watch it. Is it really that hard?” As for why all this spoiler-y footage is out in the world...

How much movie advertising is too much? What’s the number? When 25% of the movie is online in ads before it comes out? 10%? 2%? Are you ready to go back to a world where the magic and mystery happens when you’re in the theater instead of at your laptop? Louis Plamondon’s (aka Sleepy Skunk) “Amazing Spider-Man in 25 Minutes” is an awesome look at the movie, but it’s also a critical middle finger to movie marketers for stealing that magic. We spoke with the mash-up editor about finding 20% of a blockbuster online before it hit theaters, what that means for piracy and how that’s deeply unfair to the people who worked on the movie. Download Episode #139 On This Week’s Show: We Don’t Drink Cocoa Anymore [The Beginning - The End]: The terrible feeling that we’re drowning in movie marketing has been proven. The joke is no longer funny. Sleepy Skunk talks about the viral video that...
