Rian Johnson Made the Best Music Video this Year

[Deleted member 6730]

Yes that Rian Johnson. Save your hate for The Last Jedi elsewhere.



According to his twitter this was filmed over two days in a farm in Santa Clarita for LCD Soundsystem's new single.

I can't get over how brilliant the editing is, which Johnson also did. I never seen cuts this quick while staying coherent outside of Satoshi Kon movies. Even Sissy Spacek and David Strathairn give excellent performances. How often do you hear anyone praise acting in a music video?

If you want a quick reminder of how good a film maker Rian Johnson is look no further than this. Also listen to LCD Soundsystem.

Send me through the teleporter if old.

I approve this message

 

[Conciliator]

Underappreciated album, too

 

[Lifejumper]

Yeah saw this earlier. Great stuff.

 

[jviggy43]

This subverted my expectations

 

[Meg Cherry]

Great video, and the cuts are really excellent.

Also, it seems wild that this album came out a year ago. Hoping that this being pushed as a single means they're close to announcing a new tour.

 

[Bradbury]

Rian Johnson keeps delivering the goods.

 

[Midramble]

Another chance to shill for Brothers Bloom. Go watch it.

 

[signal]

What about this

 

[Einchy]

Like I said over in the Star Wars thread, this was really beautiful and could've made for a great full feature film. Very touching ending.

 

[SlothmanAllen]

Nevermind the music video, the album is fucking fantastic as well.

 

[Optional Objectives]

[Joyful]

hes a great director usually, everybody fucks up sometimes

 

[Mona]

pretty good, i like it alot more than some of his other recent stuff

 

[Tapeworm]

This is my favorite song off the album. Glad to see it get a great video.

 

[rsfour]

Would watch a movie with Spacek and Strathairn

Definitely. He thankfully hasn't yet.

 

[Lifejumper]

Lmao at the "jabs".

 

[Nappuccino]

Video is great and so is the album

 

[Surfinn]

That was cool. RJ is clearly a talented guy and I'm glad he's getting more SW movies.

 

[Madison]

Is it as good as TLJ?

 

[MMarston]

That Sissy Spacek smile though

 

[Einchy]

I love Steve Yedlin's color correction and lighting. It's so warm and fuzzy.

 

[Directed by Fulci]

Nice try.



(Rian's joint is good, too.)

Ha, Doja Cat was in town last week. I was tempted to go because I'm curious what she'd be like live, but I was already going to three other shows in a five day span and I have to work and maintain my sanity, so I missed it.

 

[Surfinn]

The shot from the inside of the house through the window is excellent.

 

[D i Z]

That was excellent.

 

[Waffles]

Holy shit it took me forever to recognize that was David Strathairn (I know you said it, but I just didn't recognize him). That was great.

For only being 5 minutes long, there were a lot of really cool camera movements.

If nobody told me anything about the video and I just watched it randomly, I would be 90% sure RJ directed. It's got his stamp all over.

The funny thing about him also doing this music video -- which is starring Spacek -- is that he was the cinematographer for that Carrie remake.

Now they're stuck in the jaunt forever

edit: wait, I don't know what I'm talking about.

 

[Fuchsia]

Good lord that was some stellar stuff! Nice work Rian Johnson.

 

[modoversus]

That was pretty good. All that camera movement looked good.

 

[BossAttack]

Why did he go with his wife into essentially a limbo state? Why not put her in there, get some help, pull her out? If he'd just told someone his plan none of this would've had to happen!

 

[Deleted member 46641]

This isn't Faceshopping.

But it's good. Rain Johnson has a good knack for visuals.

 

[Scrobbles]

Great video for a great song

Wow that was beautiful. Great song too.

 

[ggdeku]

That was killer. Great direction and song. RJ rules.

 

[Objektivity]

I'm conflicted. I love LCD Soundsystem but I vowed to never watch anything Rian Johnson. I didn't even watch his last film after hearing about what a travesty it was.

Why? If you can't even attribute it to TLJ hate, what's your problem with him?

 

[GiantEnemyGoomba]

Wow that was awesome. Perfect video for probably my favorite song on my favorite album of last year.

 

[g23]

Wow. That was damn good. Love me some LCD Soundsystem.

 

[Cocolina]

It helps that the music is great

I'd like to think it takes more than that to derail a thread, but who knows lmao.

Fuck that was a good video.

I saw this trailer and then this music video today and don't know how to feel.
