Every time I tell someone about my idea for this painting they say, "Who?", and then I show them the jpeg and they're like, "Oh yeaaaaaaa." Everyone knows the "The Most Infamous Girl in the History of the Internet", but nobody knows her. Basically shes like Warhol's "Marilyn", but the 21st Century "golden-age-of-the-Internet" version, and a mega babe. The above painting is being painted somewhere in Asia, probably China. I got a painting made through Ebay before and it came from Thailand. The painters in Asia are really good. Since this is the best idea I've probably ever had I'd like to try and make like 100 of these paintings by 100 different "custom oil painting" painters. If anyone wants a painting email me and I'll make one just for you. Special shout out to Dustin for taking this pic, and to Hannah for posing so good.

Nobuhiko Obayashi, Japan 1977, 87 min

How to describe Nobuhiko Obayahshi’s 1977 movie House? As a psychedelic ghost tale? A stream-of-consciousness bedtime story? An episode of Scooby Doo as directed by Dario Argento? Any of the above will do for this hallucinatory head trip about a schoolgirl who travels with six classmates to her ailing aunt’s creaky country home, only to come face to face with evil spirits, bloodthirsty pianos, and a demonic housecat. Too absurd to be genuinely terrifying, yet too nightmarish to be merely comic, HouseHouse is one of the most exciting genre discoveries in years. seems like it was beamed to Earth from another planet. Or perhaps the mind of a child: the director fashioned the script after the eccentric musings of his eleven-year-old daughter, then employed all the tricks in his analog arsenal (mattes, animation, and collage) to make them a visually astonishing, raucous reality. Never before released in the United States, and a bona fide cult classic in the making,

House (ハウス Hausu)
World's Weirdest Movie

opens in Salt Lake City this weekend.
First screening of all-new 35mm print!

Directed by Nobuhiko Obayashi

The film was the feature-length directing debut for Obayashi, who based the film on an idea from his 7-year-old daughter. Before House, Obaysashi primarily directed television commercials

A teenage girl named Oshare (nicknamed "Gorgeous" by her friends) discovers that her widowed father has begun dating again. Furthermore, Oshare's father states he intends to bring his new fiance on their yearly summer vacation. Furious, Oshare impulsively invites her friends to come with her to her aunt's house, despite not having seen the aunt in years.

Arriving, they find the aunt, a wheelchair user, and agree to fix up her run down estate located in the woods. However, unknown to anyone, the aunt is secretly a spirit who feeds off the flesh of "marriageable" young women who stumble upon her home. Possessing her niece, the aunt murders the girls one by one with help from her bewitched house. In the end, the aunt takes over Oshare's body so she can go on waiting for her long lost fiancee, who went missing in action during World War II.

Oshare (Gorgeous) is excited about spending summer vacation with her father, until she finds out that his beautiful, freakishly serene girlfriend Ryouko would be going as well. Oshare decides she will be going to her aunt's house in the country instead. She brings with her her friends from school - Fanta (who likes to take pictures, and daydreams a lot), KunFuu (who has very good reflexes), Gari/Prof (who is a major nerd), Sweet (who likes to clean), Mac (who eats a lot), and Melody (a musician). However, the girls are unaware that Oshare's aunt is actually dead and the house is actually haunted. When they arrive at the house, crazy events take place and the girls disappear one by one while slowly discovering the secret behind all the madness.

An update and reminder for our U.S. readers. Nobuhiko Obayashi's wonderfully insane 70's horror film House (or Hausu) is currently touring the Us with a new print. It's not just sticking to the big cities this time, either. Absolutely required viewing! Imagine Takashi Miike directing Evil Dead 2 in the 70's and you may start to get an idea of the experience you're in for.

Nickname
OB


Trade Mark

A student of piano, he features the instrument prominently in numerousfilms, particularly Hausu (1977) and Hyôryu kyôshitsu (1987).


Trivia

He was given his nickname in the 70s, when he was directing some commercials with Kirk Douglas and Charles Bronson. They had difficulty with his last name, so they shorted it to "OB."

After Ishiro Honda's death in 1993, Obayashi included his photograph in his film Samurai Kids, as the family's late grandfather.

Obayashi is well known as a "TV talent" (guest celebrity) on Japanese talk shows, game shows, and commercials.
