I read the headline and thought of this video.

MaxxLarge: I liked this better when Queen and David Bowie did it.


Neither Bowie nor Mercury inserted themselves in their video did they?  Not the same.

Clip art and stock footage are boring.

Maybe not make a video with those things.

Abe Vigoda's Ghost: One scene is kind of NSFW. Might want to mark it in the headline.

Kind of?

I enjoyed the video. Didn't care for the song.

That reminds me of one of the pre-movie things that I used to watch when I went to movies back when I lived in Boston 10 years ago.  It was clips of famous movie scenes set to "I need a hero".  I've tried to find it online recently, my kids have a strange fascination with that song, and I remember the clips worked nicely with the music.  Anyone know a place online where it might exist?

jonjr215: That should have a NSFW flag.  It's not too explicit but not exactly appropriate in a work environment either.

Yeah, it's pretty explicit. Naked people blatantly on top of each other and clearly rockin' it is pretty explicit, as opposed to implicit.

Technically doesn't show anything but yeah, that's more than a PG-13 image.

Damn. I've been working on this kind of thing on and off for months...

Is he a stalker? Or the invisible man? He stalks them for his entire life, gets into their houses and they don't notice him? No He's the invisible man, he's in their house and they aren't interacting with him, because they can't see him. He's accepted his lot in life to never be noticed, and he's going to live vicariously through these couples. Who eventually have children, hmm I wonder...

So which is more expensive - hiring actors and crew to film original scenes for a video, or buying stock footage and digitally inserting yourself into it? I guess we found the answer.

You may want to read that headline again. Slowly.

Not safe for Amish work houses.

Certainly a lot of attractive women in that video.

The last part was epic/the music on that part and somewhat the visuals reminded me of cyriak, the YouTuber who makes those psychedelic-looking computer animations.

That should become creatively common in the future..

zvoidx: Certainly a lot of attractive women in that video.

You know, I have this theory...
Barring any facial asymmetries or over-prominent facial features, all women are inherently attractive so long as they take care of their body weight and practice personal hygiene.  Am I right?  The women in this video really remind me of this.  None of them are necessarily drop-dead sexy (ok maybe a couple are), but overall they're just women who take care of themselves.

/must be the salad.

I liked it. Has a Beck vibe to it.

I tried hard not to like that song, but it won out at the end.  It's not sing-along material, but I'd put it in a playlist between a couple of heavier numbers.  Call it a palate cleanser, like a musical light sorbet.

MaxxLarge: I liked this better when Queen and David Bowie Woody Allen did it.

zvoidx: Certainly a lot of attractive women in that video.

I bet stock photos/videos of average and ugly people don't sell very well.

So here's music video made entirely from Cyriak

That guy totally rides a fixie

brilliant.
*taking notes*

Dr.Zom: I enjoyed the video. Didn't care for the song.

I hope it's meant to be a parody song, otherwise...
