Minor musicwank on YouTube: Nouvelle Vague and Godard
(Wasn't sure if this belonged in FW or OTFW; posted it here to be on the safe side.)

Someone posts a video on YouTube that pairs Nouvelle Vague's cover of "Dance With Me" with the dance sequence from Jean-Luc Godard's movie Bande à part (from which the latest NV album takes its title). (As far as I can tell, it's a fan mashup.)

The comments start out blandly enough, but it's not long before people start getting into it.

My film-peen is bigger than yours:

petev1975: While Godard did bring the human/intimate side back to films. There is a price you pay for the unpolish Non-Studio productions. HIS FILMS ARE BORING!

Like the VBlog on youtube. While it is certainly "real" is also really boring.

I'll never understand film students' facination with French New Wave. Since it began in the 1950s is it still NEW?

chastash: Perhaps you will be surprised to learn that there are those of us who find standard filmmaking BORING, and people like Godard still refreshingly iconoclastic forty plus years later.</i>

This sucks and you are all stupid:

seattlegoods: Moron. Way to ruin another great scene by reediting your own music to it. And that goes to all you idiots. They are never as good as the original. Get a life and do you own shit.

Suertsje: Well, all the new "shit" and all the original "shit" is based on other "shit", so get your act together, stop hating, start appreciating :D

seattlegoods: This is garbage. You reedited the Audio and then posted it hoping people would like your point personal touch. You didn't ruin this scene because you're incapable of doing that. You just look like every narcissistic moron who does this in hopes of people saying " oh whoa what movie is this?" "you're cool" And when they pop the original in they will see how you ruined it and get a bad taste in their mouth every time they think of what you did to that clip.

(This one goes back and forth for quite a few comments.)

Short and to the point:

bustersword24: This is gayer then michael jackson at the kids gap

Fappery aside, I now want a plaid skirt and hat like the one worn by the actress in the film. Except since I'm not French, I'd never look anywhere near as good as she does.
