Ow.

OW.

My head hurts.

[porphyre.livejournal.com]

but how is your heart?

[wileypeter]

THAT shrivelled up and blew away decades ago.

[drcuriosity]

Could we have that under a cut so that it doesn't reload itself each time I refresh my friends list, if you please..?

[porphyre.livejournal.com]

It's set to autoplay="false". I'm not sure why it would doing that on your computer.

[drcuriosity]

It's not playing, but it is loading. Anew, each time.

[foxgrrl]

Alternatively, you could go to: http://www.livejournal.com/manage/settings/ and set Replace videos embedded in journals with a placeholder icon — which is what I do.

[prince-du-ciel.livejournal.com]

Why did you do that to us? That was very, very cruel of you.

[prince-du-ciel.livejournal.com]

He has a sparkle jet guitar. I should have known.

[porphyre.livejournal.com]

That, satisfyingly, he doesn't even seem to know how to HOLD let alone play.

[wileypeter]

Is there such a thing as reverse endorsement? Can Gretch pay him NOT to play that guitar?

[foxgrrl]

This is like watching the cover of a romance novel.

[nicodemusreborn.livejournal.com]

That perfectly captures the essence of this video in one succinct phrase. Well done.

[porphyre.livejournal.com]

I've decided it's the Platonic Ideal of "Epic".

[serizawa3000.livejournal.com]

I... I... I...

I need to go watch some Lordi videos now, I think...

That was directed by Robert Short (the guy who did the makeup fx for Beetle Juice and won the Oscar for it)...?!

[porphyre.livejournal.com]

So they claim. I believe it. That was horrific in the same way where you need a really good actor to play a bad actor, you know?

[benpeek.livejournal.com]

wow.

it's as if every mills and boons romance cover came to life in a shitty song.

[porphyre.livejournal.com]

Or someone gave him an artistic license to kill.

[mjtheanarchist.livejournal.com]

Oh my god. That was so epicly amazing I wanted to watch it over and over, but I feared my heart couldn't handle the explosive, orgasmic rapture.

The best parts were the cgi-background action scenes, no wait! It was the alligator clip. OH, I can't decide! It was all so awesome!

[porphyre.livejournal.com]

I'm thinking this video would be a really excellent group Hallowe'en costume. We'd need to rig up a little fan onna stick to blow blondie's hair around, but oh man, the comedic possibilities of those matrix witches, not even mentioning the dragons.

[bonefinder.livejournal.com]

I'm... speachless.. I counter your strike with Bhangra!!!!!

[porphyre.livejournal.com]

Oh man. I'd forgotten about that video. Forgotten for good reason. Ouchmybrain.

[lafinjack.livejournal.com]

Does this mean I don't have to watch Twilight now?

[porphyre.livejournal.com]

Lung and I went to see Twilight in L.A. and it was one of the best things we ever did. Go, with my blessing, but make sure you go when it fill be full of teenage girls.

[lafinjack.livejournal.com]

Trust me, I will.

[radiodog.livejournal.com]

I'm reminded of walking into Andrew's old place the night everyone was watching "Rize". Finding a screen full of people talking very seriously about dressing up as clowns and "clowning" in L.A.

After about 20 minutes of waiting for the punch line, i had to ask the assembled audience if it was to be taken seriously or not.

Still can't figure this video out.

But I've found an interview with the Artist: http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/music_blog/2008/12/an-internet-sta.html

[porphyre.livejournal.com]

I'm sort of astounded it turns out he has a fully realized plot arc...

"My character is part of the witches kingdom, which is the second kingdom. I’m actually part of their army and an enforcer, a general, if you will. I meet that young lady Arra who is secretly being trained by the angels and they hand her a book. That book is the book of golden symbols which can only be understood by the spirit, by the living soul. She’s being trained secretly to be the queen of this realm, to overthrow the forces of darkness. My character actually meets her and falls in love with her and decides to leave the dark side, so he has an epiphany."

I will be watching this video in full w/ my wife when she gets home. I think it will nicely fit her profound appreciation for the awful.

[jasoncm.livejournal.com]

that was me.

[porphyre.livejournal.com]

Did it rock her world like it did ours?

[porphyre.livejournal.com]

There's an awful lot of an awful lot in there. I don't remember reading about matrix witches in lothlorian, though.

[jason0x21.livejournal.com]

This made my day. Several days in a row.

[porphyre.livejournal.com]

Ed found an interview.

[paesanobri.livejournal.com]

holy fucking shit.

[porphyre.livejournal.com]

Inspiring, no?
