Next week, we’ll be taking a look at Amos Gitai’s somewhat weird, but more tedious autobiographical film Carmel (2009); we’ll knock another one off our reader-suggested review queue with an elementary introduction to the incredibly complicated Primer (2004);  and to fill things out we’ll examine at the silly-as-it-sounds The Manster (1959).  Of course, Alfred will tackle more mad Mozart with coverage of Joachim Schlömer’s Odysseys, a pastiche trilogy created from fragments of the composer’s unfinished works.

It was a strange, grab-bag week for bizarre search terms, making it quite a challenge to pick a Weirdest Search Term of the Week.  First off, we have to encourage the “wierd lumpy movie short” search guy to keep trying: you’re fast becoming the unofficial mascot of 366 Weird Movies’ Weirdest Search Term of the Week contest.  Alas, once again your search for lumpy short movies rates no weirder than an honorable mention.  Speaking of honorable mentions, the query “mila kunis shave down there” scores bonus points  because we (oddly) turn up in the #1 spot for this search term on Google (you have to omit the quotation marks, though).  We also liked the weird challenge of trying to literally visualize “drop your mouth.”  But our weirdest search term of the week comes from the indecisive searcher who wasn’t too particular whether he received results relating to “italian movie or film tomato ‘jerk off’ or masturbate pregnant.”  Hey, “film tomato ‘jerk off'” alone would have been good enough for us to make it our Weirdest Search Term of the Week; the rest is just gravy.
