Rag & Gnome

In a round about sort of way, I found this gif today. It features Emma Roberts, niece of Julia Roberts, known for her work with Jason Sudeikis and Jennifer Aniston in Meet the Millers, and on the Scream Queens, and American Horror Story television shows.


She obviously gnome-naps.

This is from a film short, Time of Day, which also stars Jon Hamm, and Kate Mara; featuring music by Thom Yorke. It is produced by the clothing company Rag & Bone from New York. Apparently they use these short films as ads? They're directed by a variety of people, some professional, some amateur. Some make more sense than this one.

But this one is clearly the best.... because gnomes!

Watson! A Sequel is Afoot!



Our favorite characters from the best gnome movie ever made returned in March with a second film!

That's right, Gnomeo and Juliet meet the Greatest Gnome Detective!

In case you forgot, or want a refresher, the first movie is on this blog too. 

The plot, basically, is a gnome-napping case. The world building from the original is expanded to include other knick knacks, toys, and statues like maneki-nekos, dolls, teddy bears, and gargoyles. There are puns and references to classic Sherlock Holmes and gnomes, or course. Apparently it's also a musical, with Elton John highly represented.

The beginning of the movie throws out some great ideas for a bunch of sequels, including Games of Gnomes, the Gnome Ranger, Spiderman: Gnome Coming, Indiana Gnomes.... I want to see them all!
