Here, the crew from Mystery Science Theater 3000 take their genius to an old Chevrolet training film entitled “Hired.” While watching this, I couldn’t help wondering if the sad-sack protagonist would end up as a Republican candidate for something, since … Continue reading →

Mariel Clayton’s ‘Killer Barbies’

Posted on December 29, 2011 by admin

I’ve seen some staged ‘Barbie’ art, but none as good as photographer Mariel Clayton’s series ‘Killer Barbies.’ It’s disturbing and funny, as great art is supposed to be, although some might find the use and abuse of this plastic American … Continue reading →
