question, does anyone actually LIKE music videos for songs where the first like minute and a half is some artsy fartsy bull ass shit about the band members waking up in black and white or some shit. gimme the song already you jackasses
and dont even get me STARTED on music videos where the narrative INTERRUPTS the song. as in, halfway through its just the guy saying a sentence not in the actual song, ruining the flow entirely. fuck that
when the lyric video is 2:49 but the official music video is 6:45…… fuck that
So I’ve watched a bunch of Very Good Videos today.
Lindsay Ellis has been doing an examination/critique of The Hobbit films and her team’s finally finished the last one:
They are Excellent(u_u), Perfec(u_u u_u), and Majestic(u_u u_u u_u).
Lastly, through a VERY Circuitous route which began with searching for obituaries for the late lamented Harry Anderson(Here is Markie Post. Here is John Larroquette. Here is an Obit By David Hill at The Ringer which I very much liked), is this talk on Consciousness by Dan Dennett(TED 2003; somewhat dated; don’t want to bother trying to embed it) that, incidentally, has some pretty fun perception games in it :>
i will say the funniest thing i’ve ever fucking seen on a tv soap is when my mum was watching holby city (british medical drama) many many years ago and there was this one really arrogant anaesthetist and he was bragging about something or other while holding a charged defibrillator pad in each hand and triumphantly clapped them together and just straight up electrocuted himself and fucking died. it was supposed to be like a serious scene but nothing i’ve ever watched since has surpassed that level of comedy
just moving along like everyone else
