Chris Cunningham - Rubber Johnny
What do you think of new Chris Cunninghams video with music by Aphex Twin ? IMO it's amazing and also spooky - just wached it in dark room at nighttime so it freaked me out a little

Yeah, I have to say that I was a bit miffed when the damn thing ended after about five minutes. All of the build up made it seem like it was more of a longer piece, but then again, I also figured there would be some more Aphex music in it as well. Nonetheless, it was pretty interesting, and I rather liked the credits with the train, for some reason that worked for me and my twisted mind.

I just watched this for the first time and it really did'nt do much for me.Aesthetics wrote:
Anyway, it's ok but nothing special imo.
I really don't know what the fuss is all about and why there is a DVD out of this short movie.
And as far as I know he worked on this video for quite a while...

I don't think the hype made any more promises than what was given. Non the less, it was tad on the short side and a bit unimaginative. The fast cuts and sync'ed imagery has been done too much in the electronic scene I think.
The book was nice too look at, except for the photoshopped cunningham-arse pics (yeah, thanks for the bonus arse-sticker, warp...).
