...ever said to her, no matter how unsubstantiated ("Now, I have no absolute proof of this love affair with the Queen..." says a source in a not untypical passage). She certainly doesn't break a sweat trying to make sense of her narrative, most of which reads like a clip job, despite her vaunted doggedness--illustrating, perhaps, the difficulty of dishing a family so recently adept at dishing itself...
...number of children, including at least three of her own. And here is where the plot seems a bit askew. As in real life, Darrow is a passionate death-penalty opponent. If he loses, his thoroughly guilty client goes to the electric chair. Just deserts aside, the novel has clip-clopped along too jocularly for too many chapters for this to be an acceptable outcome. Well, can the child killer go free? Perish forbid. Therefore...
Several newcomers, most notably Williams (who did Mary J. Blige's lush clip Everything), Paul Hunter (Erykah Badu, Sean "Puffy" Combs), Jonathan Glazer (Radiohead, Jamiroquai) and Floria Sigismondi (Marilyn Manson, Tricky), have risen to the challenge. As a result, the directors themselves are becoming MTV stars. Williams and Hunter have almost become brand names; each has a colorful, highly recognizable style, and hip-hop stars--and even some alternative bands--are rushing to work with them. All four of these directors are up for multiple awards at next week's MTV Music Video Awards, and all four are starting...
...successfully, on Stevie Wonder for musical inspiration, is the only truly catchy song on the album. In the video we see Jamiroquai's singer, Jay Kay, standing alone in a mostly empty room. The floor seems to move as he dances, sings and poses; furniture appears and vanishes. The clip is somewhat dry, but it keeps us watching as we try to figure out the physics of this weird space. "If you're simple, you're effective," says Glazer, 31, who majored in theater arts at London's Middlesex Polytechnic College...
...shock, though she usually strikes a nerve: "I try and look for beauty in darkness, to make some kind of harmony in the images." In her video for shock-rocker Manson's Tourniquet, we are treated to the sight of Manson shaving his own armpit; in Sigismondi's clip for The Beautiful People, we see writhing worms, rows of stomping fascistic boots and Manson's mouth pushed open by some cruel dental device. The songs themselves are dumb and brutal, but the videos have a ghastly playfulness that evokes David Lynch and Federico Fellini...
