Why can't the montages on the actual Academy Awards show ever be this awesome?  BRB, have to watch this for like the fifth time this morning.

Awesome. That is going to help me when I have to think of my favorite movies this year, because I had a lot. Also, that song is on your mix CD, ha. :)

Ooh, that's a good one! And I love the Killers. :D

I saw this one the other day which you might like too:

Totally unrelated, but I just got your package, and it totally made my evening. "Oh, awesome, the card has a santa and--OH MY GOD" --> dies of laughter, etc. ♥ Thank you thank you thank you!

I had uploaded that mix CD not an hour before I found this video, and I may or may not have flailed a little bit at the coinkydink.

That was great! I love being able to just watch the awesome pretty parts of a bunch of movies.

You know, I sometimes wonder if part of film narrative anymore is just finding a framework to be able to showcase visuals like that. Sure, there are good movies out there that could have been shot Dogma 95, but I think the best movies are the ones that really harness the power of the film image. Why does seeing some actor I don't even recognize jumping through the air, arms outstretched, in a context I know nothing about, still manage to affect me so?
