This is a fan-made music video setting Jean-Luc Godard’s Pierrot le fou with The Pixies song “Wave of Mutilation.” Most fanvidders are busy with Harry Potter or Lost or some such, so it’s fun to find one working with Godard! And pretty well, too, though it definitely helps that the line “I drive my car into the ocean” happens to be extremely apropos. The video does spoil the ending of Pierrot le fou completely, just fyi. Also, this slowed-down version of the song? Way better than the regular version that kicks my ass in Rock Band.

This is on the beginning of the Speed Racer DVD, and I assume elsewhere. I watched it with my mouth gaping. Who at Warner Brothers thought this would be a good use of a classic film? And how about these values: “Making time with Victor’s girl - good; pirating DVDs - bad.” Yep, copying their precious intellectual property is definitely worse than, like, mere spousal infidelity. For reals, WB?

It wasn’t the movie of our dreams. It wasn’t that total film we carried inside ourselves. The film we would have liked to make or, more secretly, no doubt, the film we wanted to live.
