make it happen

January 9th, 2009

sometimes I think about how fun it mus be to be Spike Jonze, have some crazy idea and then make it happen…but wait, I get that feeling sometimes (see that Charlie Kaufman promo)…there’s something so epic about this…taken via kottke’s best links of 2008 list which is worth a visit on its own…this is 6 minutes, so wait to watch until you can really drink in the slo-mo…(also maybe let it load the whole way and then skip in :44 past all the intro nonsense…I can’t get the seek pref to work with yt high quality embedding, anyone know why?)…

    Wow, that’s dreamy. But is the French Connection Guy OK?

    This is insane. I’ve shown this to everyone I’ve some across in the last 2 days an I love watching their reactions as the ‘splosions start up.

    I completely agree, when I read that I should check the link and I started watching I felt “sure this is nice but I’ve seen better stuff in super slo-mo” and then things started blowing up…so much fun…

    and yeah, I figure The French Conneciton is o.k., those guys injure themselves all the time…

    How does that saying go? “Flying chunks of wood in the eye are temporary but glory is forever?”

    Have you seen the film “Yeah Right” by Spike and others? A few years old, 2003, but it has this same feel. In one scene they key out the boards so it looks like they’re just sliding on their feet.
