Pound, the enjoyable but totally unnecessary short film


Here's a short film about two guys shaking hands (not a sexual euphemism in this case). I knew that guy Evan Bernard briefly back in the 90s, he did some videos for JSBX, I think. Nice guy. Once jumped up on stage at the Mercury Lounge with a Yoda mask on if I recall correctly. Beat is by Squeak E Clean, aka Sam Spiegal, aka Spike Jonze's brother, and is nice enough.

The thing I don't get is why or how this exists. Is this what it's like to be rich, you get to just make incredibly elaborate art projects for no reason? I kind of wish they'd built the world's biggest hoagie or something instead.

(Note, my plan had been to link directly to You Tube, but it's fucking up, so here's a picture of a hippo skeleton instead)

ahhh "pound." i spent half a day negotiating with folks to host this video on the website i work for. i agree: unnecessary. what the world needs is a short film on robert sietsema eating bull spleen.

p.s. to embed the youtube video, you need to put the code in the "Edit HTML" posting tab. and then you need to tweak the width and height tab so it'll fix in the Blogger margin [has to be adjusted in 2 places].

try: width="400" height="325" [change in 2 places]

You have become such the blogging expert, though I suppose that is only to be expected given your line of work.
