This one is for Bear who loves watching Lego stop motion. And since he's been making his own Lego movies, why not inspire him with Michel Gondry's handiwork? Gondry, may I just say, makes brilliant music videos. Like some of his masterpieces for Chemical Brothers, Radiohead, and Bjork. His movie-making may be spotty--Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind was great because he worked with a Charlie Kaufmann script, Green Hornet was all style and... not much else. His music videos though? Just brilliant. Simple but highly conceptual and always tediously put-together, sometimes as if algorithms were involved. Anyhow, here goes today's Gondry highlight for Bear, created more than 10 years ago...
Bear liked it by the way, both the music and the film-making. The boy does love Lego and rocking out. Though I think it's beyond him how truly awesome it is to put together The White Stripes, Michel Gondry and Lego.

I LOVE Michel Gondry's work! My faves: "The Science of Sleep" and "Be Kind Rewind"
It's Eternal Sunshine for me, as far as his movies go. But his music videos are generally awesome : )

His music vids are awesome too! "ESOTSM" was fun , i love the way he brings out the quirks and nuances in the popular actors he casts. I classify his coolness though as "euro-cool" .
Euro cool, indeed. Viva le France! haha!
