VIDEO: Chimpanzee-Edited Surf Movie Like Terrence Malick on Sugar Rush

· You never know what you might stumble upon on the Internet. Case in point: The Surfer's Journal has unearthed a 2009 video purported to be the handiwork of JT, a chimpanzee from Modesto, CA.

    Breaking news> JT the Chimp was the screenwriter on SUCKER PUNCH until he removed his name after a dispute with Zack Snyder. Snyder went on to take FULL credit as writer. Expect a lawsuit, soon.
