...and i'm gonna chop that motherfucking desk in half!

The Science of Sleep -- Since you're probably not a huge dork and don't lurk on the Apple site for new trailers, you may not have seen this. Eternal Sunshine IS one of my most favorite movies of all time, but I'm not even assuming this is going to be the same -- it'll be uniquely and wonderfully different and amazing.

Other things (i.e. my personal favorites) by acclaimed director Michel Gondry that i wasn't aware he did until b-rad mentioned yesterday he's also done music videos:

"Mad World" (Donnie Darko soundtrack version) - Gary Jules (2004)
This song made that movie.

"Fell In Love With A Girl" - The White Stripes (2002)
(this was the lego video that everyone loved.)

"Knives Out" - Radiohead (2001)

"Music Sounds Better With You" - Stardust (1998)
If I had a nickel for everytime i listened to this on the drives to and from Myers Park junior year, I would've had a lot of nickels.

"Everlong" - Foo Fighters (1997)
(see, now the giant hands scene seems so familiar!)

"Around The World" - Daft Punk (1997)
(hannah and i went through a phase where this shit was the coolest thing we'd ever seen.*)

"Protection" - Massive Attack (1995)
I actually didn't get into MA until a few months ago, but i didn't really dig around that hard, apparently. I love this song, but i had no idea it came out 11 years ago. Video is alright, song is fantastic and depressing.

*Yet another reason that my family and i are cooler than you. My dad and I were really into "120 minutes" -- moreso me than him, and I'd set the VCR to tape it every sunday night from midnight to 2, and it was the highlight of my monday afternoons after coming home from school. I was fanatical about it (see also: obsessive love of "Six Feet Under") but it was a lot of fun seeing the new ALTERNATIVE ROCK VIDEOS and the occasional NIN or nirvana "classic" that they'd throw in there. It also showed videos LONG before they ever snuck into MTV's regular rotation, if at all. "Around the World" was one of those videos. It's infectiously catchy, and has skeleton suits. BYYYYYAH!
