really? well it was just 1998, am i that old? haha. anyway, i'm glad you got your first glimpse at this classic vid right here. it truly boggled my mind the first time i saw it, and it looks like it had the same effect on you too.
again, i'm ignorant of this fact cuz' i don't watch the show at all! i just heard it on my girlfriend's ipod and remembered 'hey, this song had an effin' cool video back in the day!'. but that's nice, i hear it's a popular show and the dude who plays house got an emmy nomination.
yeah! those little planktons really added to the realism of being inside a womb. as for it being CGI... i really have no idea. pero galing noh'? it looks animatronic to me, then probably enhanced with CG. i dunno. whatever they did, it looks cool, cute, and creepy!
really? well, i wouldn't be surprised. it's just so unique, it was bound to be noticed. sigur ros is also AWESOME. even if i don't understand what the hell their songs are about, lolz.
bwahaha, oh c'mon now, don't let suspension of disbelief hinder you from great art! your observation is very true though. that's one mighty spacious womb! haha
romanek, jones, gondry, cunningham, etc. so many good music vid directors out there these days. i do like sigur ros' vidrar vel til loftarasa which begins with innocence and ends with a lot of things that will leave you pondering. it was won some kind of critics choice award two years after it aired. sadness, choice, freedom, horrors of war, etc, all in one subtle 3-minute audio visual feast.
sadly, it has also been used as an intellectual material by most pseudo-intellectuals, by way of referring to highbrow vagueness. lollers.
wow, that's one disturbingly powerful vid. sigur ros = awesomeness. i love Njosnavelin (Nothing Song) from the Vanilla Sky soundtrack and Flugufrelsarinn. btw, i count that you're one of those pseudo-intellectuals you speak of? haha
nyahahahaha. you got me on the snob (for a lack of a better word but it sounds like you're making me non-pedestrian. bleh) thing (i prefer eclectic/eccentric tastes. bwahahaha) but hey, i like outkast's heya. it was refreshing when it came out, unlike the other hippity-hoppity "artists" out there who made videos bigging themselves at that time.
here's another from gondry that's an absolute genius vid that separates the academic tools from the rest. nyahahaha. in the repetition (actually it isn't) there is a vague storyline told by an entity keeping up with the beats. chem. bros.' star guitar.

hahaha, no offense, that's what i meant, eclectic/eccentric. snob is just easier to type, lolz. wouldn't have ya' any other way brotha'...^_^
outkast is pretty cool, definitely more refreshing than the usual self-centered and shallow hiphop. but c'mon, there has to be a guiltier pleasure of yours! out with it already! n'sync? spice girls? linkin park? i swear, i won't think of you any less 'cool'. hahahaha!
sweet vid btw, wicked concept with the beat flow! you're just a fountain of artistic snobbery! haha
my elementary school teacher made us dance to some backstreet boys tune that still gives me cold sweating nightmares. here's a guilty pleasure that borders to the girly.
but if you want my excuse, here goes. lollers. ethan hawke directed what seems to a very definitive song just made for itself. it used tracking shots of lisa in a lifeless but hopeful, barren but not entirely empty, dismal but not that desolate urban apartment. the pet cat was a girly accessory that gave us that "alone in a crowd" empathy for the singer, etc. add that to the fact that the song is "done huffingly" chasing a breath without a pause.
but that's saying too much. we shouldn't do such on works of art. actually, it's the glasses.
haha a lot. justin timberlake, kanye west, shakira, fall out boy. though i don't claim to be a music connousieur/snob so it's no biggie. oh, does new wave count? if so, put in pet shop boys, depeche mode, and tears for fears in there too, lolz.
bwahahaha! new guilty pleasure! old jim carrey shtick rocks. i miss 'in living color'. another guilty pleasure is his cover of jefferson airplane's 'somebody to love' from the cable guy. old stuff rules.
oh snap, i'd love if they played reruns of it on tv. there isn't even a dvd for it i think! considering it was the home of many stars like jamie foxx, jennifer lopez (just a dancer though), jim carrey, the wayans brothers... you'd think they'd wanna cash in on that with a dvd collection or something.
