Heh, I kinda like it. It’s certainly not what I expected. Then again, I didn’t really know what to expect. Thanks! ---

That’s what happens if you don’t clip your nose hairs regularly. ---

That was… weird, and quite fun. There’s a significant wanker contingent amongst the people who leave comments on Youtube, isn’t there. ---

[QUOTE=Mangetout] BTW, the other video from the same person is weirdly fun too: [Will it DeBlend](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOxcT-BC8PA) [/QUOTE] It should be noted that the “person” in question is Michel Gondry, director of [my favorite music video of all time](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FMpsnDxNbqQ). And also the brain behind some crap [Jim Carrey movie](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0338013/). ---

I’m surprised and somewhat ashamed to say that this is the first time I’ve heard of him by name, which surprises me a bit, because his stuff is right up my street. How did I manage to be aware of Spike Jonze, but not Michel Gondry? ---

I don’t think that link goes where you intended. I will look out for the DVD though. ---

Am I the only person who came into this thread expecting something like Joe Piscopo and Rubik’s Teeth? 😃 ---

Well, until **Randy Seltzer** comes back, I think he might have been talking about the winderful film The Science of Sleep, an intriging plug for which may be seen [here.](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yOxcT-BC8PA) He also did [Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind](http://imdb.com/title/tt0338013/). He’s a fascinating man.
