Oo-wee-oo, I Look Just Like Buddy Holly

I picked up my tickets last night for RES Magazine, a bi-monthly publication of film, music, and culture.  It’s coming to Toronto next week and will be playing at the Royal Cinema.

I got tickets to two screenings: Spike Jonze Rarities and a Michel Gondry Retrospective.  Both Jonze and Gondry are known for their innovative music videos for such bands as Björk, Daft Punk, Radiohead, Fatboy Slim, and Weezer, and both have directed off-kilter movies written by Charlie Kaufman. Both of them also seem to have DVDs of their favourite videos on the way courtesy of Palm Pictures’ new Directors Label.  Sputnik 7 even has trailers online.

I can’t wait to see Gondry’s videos for Daft Punk’s Around the World and Björk’s Human Behavior on the big screen.  But what I’m really excited about is seeing Spike Jonze’s Weapon of Choice video for Fatboy Slim with DVD-style commentary by Christopher Walken!  It should be a fun day.
