It's probably not fair or appropriate…

<p> to suggest that it&#39;s ridiculous to learn to play &#34;Flight of the Bumblebee&#34; at 600bpm. And yet, I cannot escape the sense that it is just that.</p> <p> <div style="position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden;"> <iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share; fullscreen" loading="eager" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" src="https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/6cGTsX3O-2E?autoplay=0&amp;controls=1&amp;end=0&amp;loop=0&amp;mute=0&amp;start=0" style="position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; border:0;" title="YouTube video"></iframe> </div> </p> <p> The payoff, such as it is, is at 5:23.</p>

Axe Cop: The Movie - Part 1

<p>

<div style="position: relative; padding-bottom: 56.25%; height: 0; overflow: hidden;"> <iframe src="https://player.vimeo.com/video/19119108?dnt=1" style="position: absolute; top: 0; left: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; border:0;" allow="fullscreen"> </iframe> </div> </p> <p> Ummmm…yeah.</p> <p> The <a href="http://axecop.com/">Axe Cop</a> comic strip is deeply, deeply weird–as you might expect given the author is 5. The movie is astonishingly good at capturing that weirdness–that sense of things just happening one after another with no actual, err, plot–and even a lot of the visual style of the original.</p> <p> Look at it this way, it couldn&#39;t possibly be worse than the upcoming <em>Green Lantern</em> film is likely to be.</p>
