Extra, Extra!  Ours Video on Myspace NOW!!!
#41
No prob, KTB.

My abbreviated two cents:  In this video we see a reiteration of the  "abandoned infant-hero" mythic archetype.  I like the video, overall.  I agree that the words might be a bit overdone, and the cheerleader is like straight out of the "Nevermind" video or something, but aside from those minor details, I'm really impressed!  (And really, the cheerleader is, as someone pointed out, a necessary marketing tie-in.)  The video really complements the dynamics of the song.  Can't wait to see God Only Wants You!!!

1818, March 18?

Wouldn't that make it 1803? ;-)

And anyway, what is this 19th century date doing in this medieval setting apropos of nothing??

Did this remind anyone of Lord of the Rings meets Pans Labyrinth?

Nearly all of Maxxis's videos are shot like this.  Look at pics on his site from other videos, and watch some of them.  They are done with these old-school camera's and they are all weird and have aspects of torture in them.  I think that Jimmy wanted this vibe.  After all, he said that he liked Maxxis' work and couldn't wait to shoot the video. I like it, but the Live Again! in the middle is pushing it. I like the text at the beginning and at the end, but none in the middle is really necessary. Plus, the Font they use for the writing isn't old school enough, its too times new roman

okay, i watched it again, and I love everything about it. Jimmy looks like Adrian Brody when he is lying on the table in the end. The camera work in this is fantastic

Medieval? I thought it was very Mary Shelly or Bram Stoker Victorian. Especially the funeral carriage with two black horses.

Well, I was kinda mocking my earlier posts there. And clearly doing a bad job at it. :-)

Well, he's about to be banished and killed! But you'd think he'd cheer up once he was in Jimmy's arms, y'know? Wink

I know I would have cheered up immensely.

Sorry about missing that - self parody obviously doesn't translate well when the reader doesn't take adequate notice of the whole thread. :wink2:

The Mystic stands on a street corner in old London town, proferring his wares from a folding table...

"Roll up, roll up... a dozen Lucifer matches guvnor? How about a dozen dolly pegs for your good wife? And while you're at it, how about a make poverty history bracelet for your little 'uns - guaranteed to wash clean after a long day cleaning chimneys and all profits go to help starving pikaninis on the dark continent."

Oh, Pirate Girl. You are amazingly wonderful.

Ok, they really, really, really need to correct the spelling of "foretold." Otherwise, they're going to look extremely stupid. Not as stupid as this:

But pretty damn stupid.
