This is kind of a random post but I like these two songs and their videos a lot. They make me miss being a teenager.
Smashing Pumpkins – 1979
Silversun Pickups – Lazy Eye

One of these moments was when The Doors performed “Light My Fire” on the Ed Sullivan Show.
Teen Witch

This probably takes the cake for most ridiculous scene ever. The acting, the concept, the outfits, the dialogue are all so over the top.
It also inspired a hilarious skit by Andy Samberg and the guys at “The Lonely Island” before they got picked up by SNL.
One Shot Music Videos
Posted in Music Videos with tags Comma, Continuous, Feist, Lucas, Music, One, Oxford, Shot, Single, Song, Spoon, Sweater, Underdog, Undone, Vampire, videos, Weekend, Weezer on December 12, 2008 by goodcrustThese music videos are filmed in one shot. The camera never cuts. This style has seemed to grow recently in popularity. These are a few of my favorites.
Lucas – Lucas With the Lid Off
Weezer – Undone (The Sweater Song)
Vampire Weekend – Oxford Comma
Feist – I Feel it All
Spoon – The Underdog

It’s crazy how your world can be flipped upside down.
Spike Jonze Adidas Commercial
Posted in Commercials with tags adidas, are, commerical, dream, Jonze, Movie, running, sneakers, Spike, the, Where, wildthings on December 11, 2008 by goodcrustSpike Jonze is a huge favorite of mine. His upcoming release for “Where the Wildthings Are” is definitely one of my most anticipated releases in recent memory.
I feel like this commercial he did for Adidas really showed where he could take a child-like fantasy.
Scorcese AT&T Ad
Posted in Commercials with tags Act, Acting, ATT, bedroom, commercial, Direct, Director, Martin, Scene, Scorsese on December 11, 2008 by goodcrustI always try to picture my favorite directors and actors at work. Wonder how they think, prep, execute, and deliver. I don’t know how much truth is in this performance by Scorcese, but it is phenomenal.

Gap – Pardon Our Dust
Posted in Commercials with tags commercial, Destruction, Gap, Spike Jonze on December 9, 2008 by goodcrustSpike Jonze directed this commercial for a local Gap’s renovation. That guy knows how to have fun.
Best Fight Scene
Posted in Movie Clips with tags Fight, Karate, Kung Fu, Movie, Protector, Scene, Stairs, Tony Jaa on December 9, 2008 by goodcrustThis scene is from 2005’s “The Protector”. Tony Jaa scales a giant flight of stairs, taking out anyone in his way. The amazing part is that the shot doesn’t cut once in 3 minutes and 55 seconds. The choreography, endurance, stunt work, and camera work are all phenomenal.
