What would happen if Franz Lanting photographed Franzl Lang?

As you may know Ive created a playlist of many of the dead videos on the sift. As its been there for awhile, and there have been quite a few views of it, very few vids have been fixed or discarded. I thought a list just of yours might be of some help. The list below are all your videos on my playlist. There may be a few errors, but I gave it my best shot.

they need to do "Cat's Cradle.....CGI would do it justice..oh and yessss, "Sirens of Titan"

Where are the Coen brothers when ya need em???

"release the beast" is great, but the other original songs here aren't really very good at all. nowhere near as good as the daft punk songs, anyway. that's because dance music is mostly to do with repetition and dynamics, not originality. people who overrate originality don't usually like dance music much anyway...

for the ultimate in daft punk "sample" technique, find their "remix" of take me out by franz ferdinand. it's just the entire original song with a massive blast of white noise that builds up on top of it. it's a big, big improvement...

They even play some Franz in the background. Nice.

This is the famous dancing sequence from Jean-Luc Godard's Bande à part, released in 1964 and known as 'Band Of Outsiders' to the west. The film is serves as a prime example of French new wave cinema, this particular sequence impressed Quentin Tarantino so much that he payed homage via similar scene in Pulp Fiction, and named his production company 'A Band Apart', Jean-Luc Godard himself said that he would have preferred if Quentin Tarantino simply paid him. I love Anna Karina and the scene's composition, cinematography, direction and the actors simply yet oddly hypnotic movements. The seemingly incidental expositionary dialogue and overall sound composition adds to the scene tremendously.

Arthur nervously watches his feet but thinks of Odile's mouth and her romantic kisses

Odile wonders if the boys notice her breasts moving as she dances

Franz thinks of everything and nothing... uncertain if reality is becoming dream, or dream reality...

Netflix's description of the movie:

When a middle-aged wife and mother (Angie Dickinson) begins to doubt her own attractiveness, she turns to her therapist (Michael Caine), who declines her advances. But after her mysterious murder in an elevator, the therapist is reluctant to help police. When the detective assigned to the case (Dennis Franz) is content to do little to solve it, a prostitute who witnessed the crime teams with the victim's only son to find out the truth.

Voting for the video not audio, Nick - not a fan of Franz Ferdinand; although this is probably one of their best songs. It's a good video: doubly so as they don't feature in it (synchronised in uniform again! At least they have great faces for radio). By the way, for those that don't notice: none of the above is a compliment - except the good animation part.

P.S. "Are you Scottish? No?! Well Done!" Let me shake your hand...Sorry: private joke, Sifters.

franz liszt's hungarian rhapsody #2...

Bootlegged from a video the X-Files crew made for Duchovny after hearing Bree Sharp's song. I know the quality's not great, but this is the first copy I've seen where the audio syncs up, so it could be worse.

You'll recognize the X-Files actors & Chris Carter, the creator - but here are the celebrity cameos, in order:
Janeane Garofalo, Charles Nelson Reilly, two "Baywatch" babes, Garofalo again, Jerry O'Connell, Alex Trebek, the women of "Frasier", Erik Estrada, Hector Elizondo, Kevin Nealon, Calista Flockhart, Rosie O'Donnell & Whoopi Goldberg, Melissa Etheridge, Jenna Elfman, Gary Shandling, Dennis Franz, Brad Pitt, David Spade, Sarah Michelle Gellar, George Clooney (in a wig), Pam Anderson, KISS, three porn stars (because Duchovny admitted in an interview he likes porn), and Jerry Springer.

In 1912 Austrian tailor Franz Reichelt leapt from the observation deck of the eiffel tower in a combination overcoat-parachute of his own design. He expected to fly. He did not.

aaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhwwwwww....
i´m still having nightmares of this.

but still i think germany gave the world a great event and a great time.
and the fans from all over the world who visited us gave germany the most incredible party ever!

Or in the words of Franz Beckenbauer, who brought the WC to germany, when asked about the > 1 million people fan party in berlin:
"people from all countries, of all cultures, of all religions celebrating peacefully together. This is how god has meant the earth to be!"

Maybe the greatest time of my life :-)

I respect your opinion, chrismear. And its true that he can be at times distractingly expressive with the rest of his body. However, this is Horowitz 'show-off' transcription of Franz Liszt's already virtuoso-level piece... a work that practically beats you over the head with its incredibly massive, exaggerated mood changes. Lang Lang was a technical perfectionist at age 15, and now the only direction for him to go is the direction that he feels the music speak.

When I saw him, he played a number of more subtle, less flashy pieces, but was sure to include pieces that the crowd knew and pieces like this that were full of virtuoso flourish. If you get the chance to see him, you have to have a pretty big stick up your ass not to enjoy yourself.

That said, one member of my group when I saw Lang Lang was a visiting scholar of Debussy, and he wondered when he'll stop exploring his own ideas enough to play Debussy and Rachmoninov like everyone else...
