yah, in the article they said the video for "superchrist" was coming out on the 27th... a video for "the rose march" would have been cool, though, probably...

who's directing the video

Billy

Well this will be interesting....

Don't count on it.

IMO, the videos are the lamest thing about the Zeitgeist era.

Zeitgeist videos<any other SP video

AGREED

Zeitgeist videos>TEITBITE

i don't think that counts

it was for batman, did billy have any real control


maybe billy has too much control over everything these days

hahaha, yes, indeed. As lame as the Zeigeist videos have been, at leaste they're better then the Batman and Robing music video.

I thought the Tarantula video was kind of silly, didn't like it that much, but I absolutely LOVED the video for TTW.
And come to think of it, I liked the TEITBITE video. I just didn't like the stock footage of the movie in the background.

I didn't care for the "Tarantula" video but it was better than any of the videos Post-Pumpkins probably. It would have been better if it turned out like the Tarantula contest winner did.

But yeah "That's the Way" was light years better, even if it was a little weird. I really liked it for some reason but nothing can compare to the videos that Jonathan Dayton and Valerie Farris did.

I wish they could do another video for the Pumpkins, but I am guessing they will be focusing on features from now on, ever since Little Miss Sunshine If you are paying attention, there is a Pumpkins easter egg in that movie-the cost of the stuff that Steve Carell's character buys at the gas station is $19.79---1979 ) And in case you are wondering, I picked up on that the first time I saw the movie. I think I expected their might be some SP reference thrown in there.

Anyways, yeah it was kind of ridiculous that in the TEITBITE video, that they were basically playing in Batman's head. I think that was Joel Schumacher's doing. Wasn't it co-directed by Billy and Joel Schumacher? I remember seeing green screen video previews and Joel Schumacher was talking about it.

Other than that, I kind of thought the guitars were kind of strange and sort of cool, at least at the time in that video. And the black tunics and all that. It probably been a lot better without the Batman footage in the background

Oh also, what was worse than "Tarantula" was the "Walking Shade" video (not a good song either). That was HORRIBLE. And it may surprise you to know the Walking Shade, Tarantula, and That's the Way were all directed by the same guy (I forget his name, he is known for White Stripes videos I believe).

i made a thread about tht last year, i didnt think it was that big of a coincidence

anyways, i like TTW video- 3.5/5 for me and tarantula- 1.5/5

i liked the tarantula contest winner much better

Well I am not saying it's a big coincidence but I think it was intentional, as sort of nod to a video they did for a popular song. Doing a nod to "Tonight, Tonight" or any other video would be much more contrived and obvious. I am sure a lot of people noticed it. But in the words of a line from a Seinfeld episode, there is no really any big coincidences, or small coincidences, there are just coincidences .

It obviously doesn't have huge significance for the film, unlike say the Jules et Jim poster hanging up in David's (Tom Cruise) apartment in Vanilla Sky (perhaps that was also favorite film of Cameron Crowe).

Hey I looove TEITBITE's video!

I hate TTW's one.

And I don't mind about Tarantula, it kind of rocks.

billy kinda looks funny in spandex (i hope i spelled that right ) in the video for teitbite. But it was interesting and so what thats the way. (at least tarantula wasn't totally horrible. the song kicked ass) But what are valerie ferris and jonathan dayton doing these days. billy should give them a call for the next "real single" video considering superchrist isn't and i'm not expecting much from it.

Not sure. All that is says on IMDB above Little Miss Sunshine for Jonathan Dayton is "Jonathan Dayton has 1 in-development credit available on IMDbPro.com"
