VOL.01
No American road trip would be complete without a stop at a trailer park palace! So for those with a ‘kitsch itch’ to scratch (note to self: google and see if I just coined ‘kitsch itch’), Nessy has picked out three hotels in the great ol’ US of A for the ultimate vintage (and dare [...]
Long before today’s design festivals were exhibiting the latest prototypes for modern family homes featuring mechanised floors and furniture that emerge from walls and ceilings at the touch of a button, Mickey, Daffy and Goofy were already a step ahead. Mickey’s Trailer is a 1938 animated short film produced by Walt Disney featuring Mickey’s highly [...]
Vintage-lover Erin Sutherland found an old-beat up British double decker bus on Craigslist. When she went to look at the 1965 Bristol Lodekka on a used car lot in Springfield, Oregon, it was love at first sight and she bought it then and there. She followed her purchase up with a margarita and several months of [...]
Okay, okay, so unfortunately there is no guy’s spin off for HBO’s Girls, but this fake trailer is the first parody of the hit show that’s actually funny and successfully tackles that elephant in the room: why is the main character of the show (Hannah) always naked? “Put some pants on!” Jeez. Oh and it’s [...]
A movie made in social media heaven, Craigslist Joe is all too relevant to our generation. In a sort of coming-of-age, adventure story documentary, our hero travels America depending entirely on the help of the Craigslist network. Find out just how helpful or unhelpful social networks can be to us when this film hits cinemas [...]
Nominated at both the Venice and Toronto film festivals, this new documentary by Australian filmmaker Michael Glowagger has no narration throughout the entire film. It takes place in three countries; Thailand, where women wait for clients behind glass panes, staring at reflections of themselves, in Bangladesh, where men go to a ghetto of love to satisfy their [...]
It’s both awesome and terrifying at the same time. JavidPower.com recuts the trailer of a 90s classic… How did we not see it? Of course Robin William’s alter ego Mrs. Doubtfire was hugely creepy and the perfect persona to star in a serial killer movie. My childhood will never be the same again. ::: YOU [...]
Beautiful man creature, Joaquin Phoenix is enough reason for me to see any film, even after he went through that whole crazy “I’m quitting acting to become a rapper” phase. This brand new trailer for The Master is a head-scratching one, as you’re basically left still wondering what the hell the film is actually about… [...]
When most of us think of a trailer, what often comes to mind is … well, trash! But when I saw this amazing 1969 trailer, re-designed by interior designer Rachel Horn, quite frankly, I was thinking more luxury yacht (on wheels) than trailer trash. Rachel’s husband found the original Airstreamer on Craigslist for just 5000 bucks and [...]
Here is some footage I stumbled upon from a 1969 film “Slogan,” starring Serge Gainsbourg and Jane Birkin. For the first time, I start to understand Gainsbourg’s sex appeal … Looks pretty spicy, downloading it tonight. Music by Superhumanoids – Geri. Video by David Dean Burkhart.
