In my prior coverage of Quentin Dupieux's Rubber, I've tried to explain that what we're dealing with is a movie about psychic, killer tire. However, I realize now that simply labeling a tire as "psychic" and "killer" does not entirely communicate in what way this tire is an extra-sensory murderer. My whoops. Thankfully, this red-band should make it abundantly clear. The answer? Exploding heads (and rabbits).
Rubber--that ridiculous movie about a psychic, killer tire--was just released on demand and on iTunes, will have a proper theatrical release in April, and now has this awesome Julie Bell/Boris Vallejo one-sheet. Mixed reviews still have me unsure about this premise as a film, but with the arrival of this poster, I'm completely confident in it as a prog-metal concept album.
This trailer for Rubber came out last week, and I totally forgot to post it. Whups! But, seeing that we're talking about that movie about a psychic, killer tire, I figured it's better late than never. This is the kind of thing you're supposed to know about for conversations that end with a forced chuckle and a "what will they think of next?"
Remember how there's inexplicably a movie about a rubber tire that uses its psychic powers to murder? Well, there is, and Twitch has a new clip from Quentin Dupieux's film, finally putting to bed the question, "What would it look like if Spike Jonze made a commercial for Firestone?"
We've taken the next logical step forward from Stephen King's Christine. A movie about a killer tire that's decent enough to admit there is absolutely no rationale for its premise:
Robert, a tire that has been abandoned in the desert, suddenly comes to life, for no reason. He learns how to get around, explores the desert and discovers in himself a passion for destroying insects and various lost items. Robert soon develops a telepathic gift, which gives him the ability to destroy anything he wants, without moving...
What really concerns me about this foe is that he can destroy anything he wants... without moving. How to stop a killer tire if not through physical restraint?
TwitchFilm has more photos from Rubber. At least one is not safe for work if your workplace doesn't allow you to view a woman's head that's been so pulverized it looks like an ad for Smucker's Jam 'n' Chunks of Hair.
(Thanks, Victor.)
