Ever wanted to see Brad Pitt in Eraserhead hair, Rooney Mara as a hot girl's Clockwork Orange costume, or Gary Oldman as either an evil ventriloquist dummy or a lethargic drag king? Look no further! Videos of just such stars doing just such things--as well as videos of Ryan Gosling, George Clooney, Mia Wasikowska, Jessica Chastain, Michael Shannon, and others doing other, similar-such things--now exist as part of a shorts series the New York Times calls Touch of Evil, "A video gallery of cinematic villainy, inspired by nefarious icons and featuring the best performers from the year in film." Watch them here.

Sure, the Times dresses up A-list stars as movie villains, it's art. I dress up cats as movie villains for a 12-month calendar called Bad Kitties, it's pathetic? You elitist assholes.
