PIZZA & ORANGE JUICE

- This video is so so amazing. Nevermind that it’s a music video for a band called “Is Tropical,” this is a realization of every gun fight you ever had when you were a kid except taken to the extreme. Here’s a summary from the directors, a group of Parisian artists called “Megaforce”: “Part Rumblefish, part Die Hard, part Akira, we wanted to work together to create something both visually appealing and aesthetically relevant to the band. We like kids, we like gangs, we really like daydreaming and imagination; the video straddles the line between nostalgia and the visual death-porn of our generation – the action film. Don’t get carried away by politics – this is a straight-up kid brawl the way it played out in your head when you were stealing your mums mascara to be like Arnie in Predator. It isn’t a shocking rebuke to our drama queen, populist news culture either – just naive, blissful shoot-yr-mate until he’s definitely dead war-games – the way you wish it still could be.”
