Although I probably wouldn't want to watch a video about it, day-to-day weather is just the sort of thing I like. What can I say? Cold and bright, dark and drizzly, thunder and lightning, hot sun and still air--the heavens can open up and give me anything they've got. Weather is wonderfully evocative, like an old song or a familiar smell. Hot, breezy sunshine transports me to my grandparents' house in southern California, and each clear, crackling autumn day calls up every back-to-school shopping trip I've ever taken...
...could be said that I am one of the earliest, and probably the earliest, music video producer/director in China. I didn't know anything about the industry at first, but at the time I was working with a musician friend, the composer and rock-star, Cui Jian, the Chinese counterpart of John Lennon. I was a huge fan of his music, and it was his wish that I help direct his video. I realized that the money that I made from these music videos could go toward funding my films, not a bad situation...
...Seth: "Factor in a pile of cameramen shooting footage of most of the concert in hopes of filming a new video for Barrel of a Gun, a few instances of ear-splitting feedback, problems with the mixing, and a restless crowd that punctuated the acoustic (read: no amplification) encore version of "Mona Lisa" with irreverent shouts, and you have a generally disappointing Guster show. This was my fifth live Guster concert, and I can easily say that it was the least enjoyable. The performance itself had its highs and lows. The setlist consisted of a solid...
...entertainment, but a multitude of flaws and a dearth of energy marred the show. What will come next for Guster? Will Keezer's sponsor the next tour? We weren't given any new songs on Saturday night; is Guster reaching its creative limit? Will the millennium finally render the video cameras useless and prevent the swarm of cameramen from attacking the band at the next show? Until their next return to town, we can only speculate...
...mean that it's incomprehensible--like Mission Impossible or The Thin Red Line. The movie is so deliberately logical and well thought out that you find yourself nodding with your mouth wide open in shock. (You gotta love Spike Jonzes. First came that prank he pulled on the MTV Video Music Awards as a slightly retarded "dance troupe" leader, then came the scene-stealing in Three Kings and now prancing Malkoviches! He might single-handedly move us out of the Adam Sandler/Farrelly Brothers gross-out comedy era.) Critics are comparing it to Alice in Wonderland, but that's misleading; Wonderland...
