Put this on your Netflix queue NOW

I've been meaning to post this since I found out about this dvd weeks ago, and I got all excited after watching the Be Kind Rewind trailer. Before he turned out to be great with character work in his movies, Michel Gondry was slicking-up various musical artists with his unique visual genius. And I do mean genius. The combination of simple sight gags, sophisticated effects work, fun choreography and basic innovation will knock your socks off. I plan on owning this someday.

It's a double-sided dvd and covers a lot of territory. Since not all the stuff has the same level of punch, I recommend starting with these, in this order:

Star Guitar by Chemical Brothers
Come Into My World by Kylie Minogue
Everlong by Foo Fighters
Let Forever Be by Chemical Brothers

By that point you should be hooked.

And I mean done!

I always get the Chemical Brothers mixed up with Crystal Method.

I don't know about Kylie Monogue.. Isn't that hip hop? Sounds like music a bunny should listen to.

Kylie is techno-pop, and she's hot.

That reminds me of the time that JPX said:

"I'm with you, Jordan! I especially hate over-sized DVD boxes. I want the new Blade Runner set but I really don't need the HUGE suitcase it comes in - how the hell am I supposed to put that on my shelves?"

Now you've got me mad about oversized DVD boxes all over again! I mean, what's up with that? How the hell am I going to put that Blade Runner suitcase on my shelf? I'm choking on my own rage here!
