Don’t Play No Game that I Can’t Win

Continuing my pension for posting every single thing Spike Jonze ever touches…
In 1994 Spike Jonze Directed a Beastie Boys video for the song “Sabatoge,” which instantly became my favorite all-time music video and made me a lifetime fan of both Spike and the Beasties.
This short-film (or long-form music vid?) just released – with Spike making more awesome stuff with the Beastie Boys.
I know at least a couple dudes who are gonna flip out when they see this.

Look at what the Light Did Now
Posted by Troy | Filed under Film, Music
This documentary about the making of Feist’s The Reminder looks pretty cool. I’ve always wondered about the collaborations that went into that record.
Hope it comes to Netflix so I can see it.
Find out more on her site.

Idiot with a Tripod
Posted by Troy | Filed under Film
Roger Ebert says this short film shot & cut during the blizzard in NYC a couple weeks ago should win the Academy Award. I don’t know if that’s a real possibility, but it would definitely be more-than groundbreaking for a youtube video to be considered among the top industry films of the year. It should be so, though… and could inspire millions of solo filmakers to consider creating beautiful films just because they should be created. Here’s Ebert’s 3 reasons Idiot with a Tripod should win the award: Read the rest of this entry »

Girl Talk: All Day
Posted by Troy | Filed under Art/Design, Film
I’ve had perma-grin all week listening to this.
I’ve said before that I’m a sucker for collaborative music projects.
Mashups aren’t really collaboration, but combining all different genres of music into one track has the same kind of affect on me. Even though most mashups are pretty forgettable, they are almost always fun to begin with.
Girl Talk (aka Gregg Michael Gillis) however is anything but forgettable.

Saw this today on GOOD.
Each state represented by its most closely related movie. (Click for large version)
I wouldn’t agree with all the selections, but most of them made me smile.
I’d definitely put Tommy Boy in Ohio for example.
Which ones would you swap and for what?

Spike Jonze interprets Shel Silverstein with I’m Here
Posted by Troy | Filed under Film
I have no idea how this released in March and I just discovered it today.
While I and everyone else was flipping out about Where the Wild Things are this winter, Spike Jonze was busy creating his first ever love-story film.
Of course, leave it to Spike Jonze to do so in the form of a short film about robots.
I honestly just finished watching this film and there is so much I could say… but you’ve really got to just see it for yourself.
It’s based on Shel Silvestein’s magical and timeless story of The Giving Tree, so as you can imagine the film is sad and hopeful and heartbreaking and inspiring all at once.
If you have a lunch break today, gather everyone around a computer, dim the lights and enjoy this together.
Go watch I’m Here. (then come back and tell me what you think.)
P.S. The soundtrack is… well……….

Short Film on Aspergers: Q&A
Posted by Troy | Filed under Autism, Film
Joshua asks “Did I turn out to be the son you wanted when I was born? Like, did I meet your expectations?”
First of all I can’t watch those 10 seconds without totally losing it.
Second…
I honestly don’t know what I’d say if my son were to ask me the same question.
