In the past twenty-four hours, I've watched two things I've been meaning to see for quite some time. First being Justice's "A Cross the Universe" dvd, which is a tour dvd, that has small amounts of concert footage, and a hilarious amount of shit they do(I'll get into that in a sec.). The other was Daft Punk's "Electroma", which is a 74 minute film without dialog and sparse noises.
A Cross the Universe is probably one of the most awkward yet hilarious things I've seen recently. It's basically a huge inside joke that I'm sure I only understood half of. It covers Justice's tour across America and Canada, focusing on things they did while not playing shows. A whole lot of gun ranges, drunk girls, and seeing eight million dollar houses. It's all around a good time, very entertaining. I'd say the best part of the entire dvd is seeing Xavier sing to Anthony Kiedis, but that's just my opinion.
Later I start watching Electroma...before I start this, let me say. I really do like Daft Punk, a lot. But this film can basically be summed up as "Robots driving, robots looking at other robots, robots walking, robots on fire". It was just kind of very sparse and boring. A lot of the cinematography is very well done, but at times it really has nothing going for it. The last 20 minutes of the film are pretty invoking, and I enjoyed many different types of people dressed up as robots, but asides from that the film was too much wandering in the desert. It was ok, I guess.
So basically... all I'm trying to say with this blog post, is that you french people have some pretty fucked up ideas. But atleast they're entertaining.
Woo.
