A Jimmy Buffett-parodying horror movie called 'Murdaritaville' exists now

the parrot man from the movie Murdaritaville

What would it be like if the dearly departed singer and laid-back lifestyle guru Jimmy Buffett were a murderous monster? I'm going to guess that after watching Murdaritaville, a new horror movie from a distributor called Haddonfield Horror, you still won't know the answer to that question.

In the days of grindhouse cinema, making marketable movies on a tight budget often meant choosing subject matter so sensational that the posters caused moviegoers to say, "Good lord! There's a movie about that?" and then pony up for a ticket. The results of this marketing-first approach were known as "exploitation" films, and while some were cynical trash heaps, others were works of secret genius.

For whatever reason, hitting people right in their sense of propriety and good taste seems to be harder these days, but if the fervor around last year's Winnie-the-Pooh: Blood and Honey is any indication — along with the recent streak of irreverent Steamboat Willie adaptations — it seems you can still rattle people by hitting them right in their economic assumptions. Like the Pooh-centric public domain-exploitation film that may or may not have inspired it, Murdaritaville appears to target a loophole in copyright law — the carve-out for parody, in this case — causing potential viewers to go, "Surely someone is going to be sued for this."

Moreover, Buffett only passed away last September.

Murdaritaville, if you're really curious, "follows a group of friends on their way to a concert when they start getting attacked by a parrot man," according to the Haddonfield Horror website. That site refers to the film as a "send up of your Dad’s favorite margarita sipping beach crooner," and although the trailer includes referential snippets of dialogue like "it's my own damn fault," the film doesn't appear to use the terms "Margaritaville" or "Jimmy Buffett," and is almost certainly on the safe side of things in terms of intellectual property law. And since "too soon" is not a strong basis for a lawsuit either, no one will probably be suing Haddonfield Horror for this.

Murdaritaville was directed by Paul Dale and written by Dale and Dylan McGovern. It stars Jenna-Francis Duvic and will be available "via Amazon," according to the Haddonfield Horror site, probably meaning Blu-ray and VHS copies can be bought there on March 1.

Meta Connect 2024: What to expect, including Quest 3S and new AR smart glasses

Meta Connect 2024 is so close, you can almost taste it. Launching during the week of Sept. 23, the social media giant is expected to rollout hardware and software goodies that will intrigue VR gamer enthusiasts, AI aficionados, and smart glasses devotees. But what, specifically, does Meta have up its sleeves? We have a few guesses based on credible reports. What to expect at Meta Connect 2024 Last year, the Meta Quest 3 was announced in early June, but it got its full reveal at Meta Connect 2023. The headset boasted a sleeker, more comfortable design, as well as new AR capabilities, that made it more appealing than its predecessor. Once again, for Meta Connect 2024, the social media giant is expected to drop a new VR headset, but it's not necessarily an upgrade over the Quest 3. Meta Quest 3S Rumor has it that Meta is planning on revealing a cheaper, more budget-friendly version of the Quest 3 called "Quest 3S." Tweet may have been deleted Whether it was intent...

When the clocks change for Daylight Saving Time, and why we do it at all

The clocks on our smartphones do something bizarre twice a year: One day in the spring, they jump ahead an hour, and our alarms go off an hour sooner. We wake up bleary-eyed and confused until we remember what just happened. Afterward, "Daylight Saving Time" becomes the norm for about eight months (And yes, it's called "Daylight Saving" not "Daylight Savings." I don't make the rules). Then, in the fall, the opposite happens. Our clocks set themselves back an hour, and we wake up refreshed, if a little uneasy. Mild chaos ensues at both annual clock changes. What feels like an abrupt and drastic lengthening or shortening of the day causes time itself to seem fictional. Babies and dogs demand that their old sleep and feeding habits remain unchanged. And more consequential effects — for better or worse — may be involved as well (more on which in a minute). Changing our clocks is an all-out attack on our perception of time as an immutable law of ...
