Symbolism!









Just in case you missed the previous scene in which the title character has sex with a woman, kills her, splatters her blood all over her room and then chops off her fingers, director Richard Stanley underscores the character's evil nature by having him pose in front of a mounted animal skull. And just in case you miss this shot, the character goes back into the house and sets it on fire with gasoline turning it into a hellish inferno. From Dust Devil (1992).

Getting an earful


Barack Obama's ear seems to scream in terror at his own driving.

Only her hairdresser knows for sure...


You would think that a cinematographer would be especially sensitive to the old "tree coming out of the head" problem. You would think. From cinematographer Nicola Pecorini's website.

Prehistoric dragonfly vs. prehistoric crocodile


A dragonfly buzzes close by while a crocodile eats a fish in the distance? A huge, prehistoric dragonfly is engaged in a life and death struggle with the crocodile for a fish? Only the illustrator knows for sure. From Usborne's The Great Prehistoric Search (2004).

The astonishing deer woman


An eerie suburban Shishigami ponders Boggle in the King of the Hill episode "Peggy the Boggle Champ," 1997.

The incredible horned baby


Positioning of baby in relationship to the cow jumping over the moon results in a disturbing anomaly in this Disneyesque illustration. From Babies Love to Play Peek-a-Boo by Nancy Parent.

The amazing robot print model


Having a skull made from a buzz saw has apparently not diminished this model's career opportunities. Perhaps the film convention of reading images sequentially instead of simultaneously made the alignment problem of the two photos invisible to the art director. Another oddity: the Photoshopped Imagecare logo jumps from the rescuer's right lapel to his left. From American Cinematographer, April 2006.
