When it reigns, it pours

antichrist-web

Two simple if nihilistic words uttered by one self-disemboweling fox in Lars von Trier’s ANTICHRIST have the cultural momentum to become THE catchphrase of the decade and, God willing, one hell of a self-fulfilling revelation.

Vulture, New York Magazine’s culture blog, picked up on the story, and once again our beloved Fantastic Fest and Mondo Tees have been inextricably tied to the phenomenon.

CHAOS REIGNS!!

Fantastic Fest rallying cry “Chaos Reigns” voted catch-phrase of the century by VARIETY

chaos-reigns-babyIf you were at Fantastic Fest this year, or even connected electronically to anyone who was at Fantastic Fest, you got a steady dose of “Chaos Reigns!” Everyone was yelling it, tweeting it, getting tattoos of it, wearing T-shirts with it emblazoned across their chests. Mondo Tees has sold over 80 million “Chaos Reigns” T-shirts already.

But what the hell does “Chaos Reigns” mean? I guess you’ll have to wait until Lars Von Trier’s devastating mind-whammy ANTICHRIST hits your screen – it hits ours on 11/20 - to find out. Suffice to say, you will not be disappointed in either the film or the bizarre context of the line itself.

What’s almost weirder than the movie is the fact that VARIETY, a fairly respected entertainment trade publication, has published a story about the “Chaos Reigns” phenomenon. It started at Fantastic Fest and it’s now projected to engulf the world like a super-tsunami – the perfect catch-phrase.

We’ve done our part. Now it’s up to you to do yours.

Japanese Videos from Fantastic Fest


One of my personal highlights of the festival this year was the squadron of Japanese guests from Robo Geisha and Vampire Girl vs. Frankenstein Girl. From judging Samurai Calls to shooting machine guns to improvising a Michael Jackson Dirty Diana Pole Dance (above) these guys really sunk their teeth into the festival, made the most of the week and heightened everyone’s experience with their contagious enthusiasm.

Special thanks to Marc Walkow from New York Asian Film Festival for both hosting the crew and posting the videos to youtube!
