how exactly does putting a sad sounding song over a sad scene prove skill. If that’s proof of skill, then the people making ‘One Tree Hill’ must be geniuses. his use of ‘needle in the hay’ in no way improves that scene, he could have used a million other songs and gotten the same effect.
I can’t speak to Will Oldham’s pretentiousness or to his similarity to female hygiene products, but the notion that he takes himself way too seriously is kind of silly. I mean the man appeared in ‘Trapped In The Closet’, a Kanye video, and on the Wondershowzen Hee-Haw parody ‘Horse Apples’. These aren’t really signs of someone who is devoid of a sense of humor.
1. Wes Anderson is the Dane Cook of indie film makers.
2. Mr. Oldham merely stated an opinion about the way he feels music should be used in film.
3. There is no such thing as “don’t watch something just so you can bitch about how….” Films are made to be watched, the people who watch said films are supposed to have a reaction, and while most filmmakers would probably like for everyone to have a positive reaction, you can’t please everybody.
Everybody knows the ten greatest indie rock albums of all time are:
Please Stop Biting Gravity-The Icicle Firetoads
The Journey Is Greater Than The Arrival- Minnie Pearl Price Tag
This Album Will Give You Cancer- Robocop Dance Party
Flustered- Crystal Horse Girls
Indie Rock Is Dead(Let’s Buy A Boathouse)- Habichuelas Rosadas
The Cost Of It All- The Pretentious Sailors
Tin Beef- Sally Makes A House Call
Ninjas Ate My Baby- Musicale Top Hat
Learn To Drive The Armenian Way- Soup Is For Slurping
The Square Root Of Your Hands In My Mouth Equals Birthmark- Our Name Is Beth
I believe that it’s because when we watch the rich people making out to “Ruby Tuesday” we are supposed to go ‘Wow! I love that song! If I were making out with rich people that is totally the song that would be playing in my head,” and that banal connection is “excellent”
