The Killers- “Mr. Brightside” and “Miss Atomic Bomb”

It may not seem obvious but “Miss Atomic Bomb” is intentionally a sequel. The music video even tells a story that is a continuation of the “Mr. Brightside” video, with Izabella Miko and Eric Roberts reprising their roles.

“The Beginning Is the End Is the Beginning” is an alternate version.

EDIT: The tracks on the single for “The End Is the Beginning Is the End” are all alternate versions.

The Smashing Pumpkins- “1979” and “Perfect”.

People said “Perfect” sounded so much like “1979” that the music video was intentionally made to be a sequel to the latter.

EDIT: The Smashing Pumpkins are my favorite band. If you can find a copy of Greatest Hits Video Collection (1991–2000) (a DVD collection of music videos and other goodies; acted as a companion to Rotten Apples), I recommend it. There is extensive audio commentary on the videos. For example, Stéphane Sednaoui who directed “Today”, claimed to had never listen to the song before the first day of filming. “1979” in particular had master tapes got destroyed after someone left them on the roof of their car, so the entire video had to be re-shot. “Perfect” commentary, Corgan makes the connection to the similarities with “1979”; all but one of the original teenage actors from the first video returned. There is a short film version of “Try” that featured a different ending to “Try, Try, Try”. A few live recordings are included, among them “Fuck You (An Ode to No One)” from the final Metro show when they broke up and “Geek USA” (a special mix that utilized maximum volume on the audio system).

Yes, DankPods.

So watching a Australian man review mp3 players will mean what?

The bigger problem is trying to get the mainstream that would read an article like that to understand the technical difference between hacking and accessing unsecured data.

I wonder how many people watched The Colbert Report and had no idea it was satire.

So now being French and liking the French and anything French by extension is going to be made illegal in places.

I can’t recall the name but I recall a European movie (I saw it on cable television) where celebrities sell their skin to be grown in labs to be sold as meat for people to eat. The main character would go around finding sick celebrities, stealing their DNA and infecting themselves with the same illness.

Remember when Xbox required a Live subscription to use the any streaming entertainment app?

This was early 2000s.

Back in my day, we just discussed what wrote in The Jungle. They didn’t have us read it.

The Matrix

So the universe is a trans allegory?

E Pluribus Anus?

I didn’t know about this before now. A quick Google search reveals this image has shown up multiple times as a Easter egg in Silicon Valley episodes.

We don’t know that they developed space travel and left Earth either.

When I was introduced to Google, my relatives were using it to look up video game cheat codes. I think we even looked up walk through for Driver. That tutorial was absurdly fucking difficult. A group of like 10 people couldn’t complete it for hours.

I can’t even do that. Sometimes it will get back to normal size but I can’t dismiss the image.

One analog stick? That just looks weird with that layout.
