yeah i just totally creamed.

good call on leaving gondry last, he does hav more fun images.. i was thinking in actual video terms, where he woulda been second.

u coulda added Monkey Drummer and Fifi the playstation girl.. which brings me to the only dissapointment in the series, and the cunningham disc in particular, that his short film Flex was not included in its entirety..

tho u still get to see this


u DON'T get to see this,

which everyone needs to see now that at least 3 videos are ripping it off.

i was pretty disappointed they didn't let me see this one either:



and that they flash so many other things in the main menu that are nowhere to be found. even though half of them are commercials.. why did they leave out those ten-odd videos?

There are so many gorgeous, perfect shots in loads and loads of movies: the tree-top fight in Croughing Tiger; the sky-scapes as the car drives along in Fargo; loads of American Beauty... so many to list.

One I noticed as I was re-watching Do The Right Thing was where Da Mayor was walking up the browstone steps with the vase of flowers. The shot seems so effortless, but all the colours just work wonderfully together.

But like I said, there's 'perfect' shots in loads of movies.
He held on. The dolphin and all the rest of its pod turned and swam out to sea, and still he held on. This is it, he thought. Then he remembered that they were air-breathers too. It was going to be all right.
