Let's be honest, it's a movie with owls fighting each other while wearing helmets. Sounds horrible? I agree. But, as it turns out, the movie deserves a chance. It may be a bit too scary for the really young ones and a bit too cute for older teenagers, everyone in between and adults young at heart should have a good time with this, though. The animation is breathtakingly beautiful, as are the landscapes that give this world a sense of depth and mythology. That works great for the film's fantastic atmosphere. The characters are likable enough, the story engaging and even offers a surprise or two. That makes for a really entertaining adventure that showcases what animated films can do in terms of photorealism. I stand corrected.

Zack Snyder has stooped very low to male a film like this but there are a few good cinematics.

This is a film based on some literature (man, I've been watching, reviewing, and re-reviewing a lot of these lately) about a young owlet who yearns for adventure and ends up being a part of a great one involving epic battles, action, and the need to save the world fro mtyrrany. Zack Snyder made an interesting career turn with this one, as it marked not only his first animated feature, but his first film to not be rated R.
Yes, it is about owls, and I'm sure the book are for a slightly younger crowd, but you know what? I liked this movie. It's cool. Granted, I've always liked owls and thought they were cool, but still. For an animated fantasy adventure type film, it could be a whole lot worse. The film does follow a standard formulaic plot of the domination, hero's quest, and good evrsus evil varieties, but what it lacks in original plotting and underdeveloped characters that more than just archetypes, it more than makes up for it with good direction, a great voice cast made up of a few Brits and a boatload of Aussies including Sam Neill, Geoffrey Rush, Helen Mirren, Ryan Kwanten, Jim Sturgess, and Hugo Weaving among others and, the real star of the show: an absolutely gorgeous look with some wonderfully detaied photorealistic visuals. These owls and other creatures truly come alive and look real down to the smallest details. I saw this in 2D, but I got the sense that some of the 3D probably looked great and worked well in places, but not in all of them. Also, being a Zack Snyder film, the action set pieces (complete with slow-mo) are really well done and look great.
Despite being a typical genre film, this is still quite entertaining and decent. If only the way it was executed and the story/characters could have been developed more and better, then this could have been like the owl version of Star Wars to a degree, and yes I'm serious, and will discuss it further if asked.
All in all, not bad. It's a little silly at times, but it doesn't insult the audience's intelligence a whole lot, so that's good. Give it a shot, you might like it.

Whilst the voice performances were brilliant and the visual effects were absolutely stunning, the story just doesn't take off. It's very simple, common and predictable. Nothing new was added to take the story of a young and inexperienced but talented boy that goes on a journey of courage and growth to become a hero into anything more than what we've seen countless times in children's and teens movies. Generic but beautiful.

Maybe I'm in the minority, but I loved this a lot. At the end of the day, you have to like cute little owls to find this interesting because this movie does nothing but showcase their beauty and elegance as creatures. That being said, Legend of The Guardians has it all in my opinion; Flawless animation, a great story, fun characters and a strikingly good voice cast. Who would've thought that you could make a fantasy story about owls so incredibly emotional and dynamic? Zack Snyder always does a great job in the visual department and this is no exception, except I think he works even better when he doesn't have to abide to laws of physics and a practical backdrop. He's got all of his gratuitous slow motion and action sequences, but it's so bizarre when it's being used with owls (in a good way though). I guess I can see why a lot of people simply can't get into the story, mainly because it's so odd, but I really liked it and it's totally original. I think it's got a similar vibe to The Secret of Nihm, only a better structure and visuals that are unmatched. Honestly, just from a visual standpoint this movie is incredible. The amount of detail put into every frame is something i've never quite seen before. I mean Pixar and ILM are about the best when it comes to CG animation, but this is just so much more realistic than anything those companies have done with their animated features. Now the voice casting to me was almost unbelievable. Headlined with british superstar Jim Sturgess as the angelic Soren, the entire cast of characters is chalk full of great performances. Geoffrey Rush as the crazy owl codger Ezylryb, Helen Mirren as an evil Owl and Hugo Weaving as a nurturing father owl. This was just an all around great animated movie in my opinion and has enough dark and serious tones to please more than just small children. In fact, there's enough owl violence in this movie to make it a little too scary for kids. That's what I kind've liked about it; it reminds me of an older animated movie from the 70s or 80s with a kooky fantasy plot and animals thrown in. I'd say if you enjoy those types of movies, this will definitely fill the void.

Cute little owls. This was a film that I really wanted to see, and sometimes my expectations are just too much. I expect this was one of those cases. I wanted to love this, but I ended up just saying, "that was pretty good". Bummer...

This is probably one of the most beautifully animated CG films I've ever seen. The director did a fantastic job at telling this story,which figures since he did Watchmen and 300, and if you've seen those movies you'll see some similarities to those movies in this, such as A LOT of slow-motion, especially during the fights. The cast all did a fantastic job and were all wisely chosen, such as Helen Mirren as the villains wife, Geoffrey Rush as the good, worn down old warrior, now story writer, and the best being Hugo Weaving as the villain (of course) Metal Beak. But the other actors do good jobs as well, Digger and Twilight both being the funniest. The conflict between the main two brothers is very well done and told, and the ending fight between the two is so satisfying to watch.

Flat and boring... I expected more from Zack Snyder. It did, however, "look" good. Owls are cute and all, but they tend to look the same. I didn't know who was who for a while. But maybe that's just me...

With fantastic computer animation, Zack Snyder delivers a film that is mesmerizing to watch. The voice cast is excellent. The biggest drawback comes with the story. Despite its daring dark tone, the film falls short on a story that leaves much to be desired. Overall, this is a pasable fantasy adventure.

"We need to find the Guardians. They're the only ones who can save us!"
When a young owl is abducted by an evil Owl army, he must escape with newfound friends to seek out the legendary Guardians to stop the menace.
The thing about well-loved series of books is that they often saddle you with batches of stuff, particularly terminology and names, which tickles aficionados of the source material and irritates everyone else. And it is just so here. So I must confess to being a touch irked by the chatter about gizzards, and some daft names, and the like. However, I didn't have any problem at all with the story - it could have fit just as well in a world populated by humans, but this world is populated by owls. No problem.
The battle sequences show the same approach director Zack Snyder took in both 300 and Watchmen, with intermittent bursts of slow motion. They are effective, if rather intense. But this isn't really a kids' film - the tone is dark and menacing, and there is little humour. The voice talent is mostly good, albeit distractingly antipodean. But the visuals are remarkable. This is one of the most gorgeous looking films I have ever seen, with stunning use of 3D, and it is worth watching just for that

This lushly animated tale about good owls, and bad owls, but mostly owls feels indebted to Don Bluth's The Secret of NIHM. There's a legendary story about the guardians who would save the... remaining owls? The plot doesn't ever really leap beyond the basic fantasy concepts of good and evil, heroic and manipulative. It's hard for the tale's drama to reach grandiose heights because, well, it's owls. Not anthropomorphic owls, pretty much plain old owls. Some characters were just hard to distinguish between. I can firmly say that some things work better on page than screen, and descriptions of grand owl societies and owl-on-owl combat are definitely items that, when fully realized in such a literal fashion, just come across as goofy. Being directed by Zack Snyder (300, Watchmen), the movie looks gorgeously rendered but fails to leave any emotional mark for anybody who has ever seen a scrappy band of misfits topple the mean bad guys. The action follows the Snyder fast-slow-fast visual motif, which allows the audience opportunities to drink in the visual effects work. The mostly Australian vocal cast, plus Helen Mirren, provides some levels of amusement, but it's the story that ultimately disappoints. Legends of the Guardians looks fantastic, but it's story is far from legendary. And they needed to have a pop song by Owl City because the man has "owl" in his name, apparently.

I couldn't wait to see this after watching the trailer in 3D on an imax screen! It looked amazing and seemed to take animation up to a new level and the 3D looked amazing and so detailed!! Unfortunately I only got to see the film on DVD and missed the 3D excitement. The story has been done several times before, but it's still enjoyable. One kids will surely love, try to catch it in 3D if you can!!

Stunning animation just isn't enough to give this formulaic action/fantasy film wings. The voice work is betrayed by stilted dialogue such as "Just because you can't see something, doesn't mean it doesn't exist". If you're tired of that line, you'll be tired of this film. Snyder obviously excels in the action department, even if the in-flight battles become repetitive. Owls in slow-motion just aren't as fascinating as you'd expect. The plot borrows heavily from other stories. A pure race, traitors, the wise old soldier, the comedic duo, etc. Without any real emotional connection, I felt as though the film was too concerned with what was going on, as opposed to why. The relationship between the brothers could have been a major focus, and something that would have interested me a lot more.

Well, I'm pleased with the animation for this movie because it's quite amazing... Of course the team that brought HAPPY FEET wouldn't disappoint me because HAPPY FEET is an Oscar winner for Best Animated Feature Film... Even this movie only have owls as their main character, with some bats, a porcupine, and a snake, but the effects for every owls were very detail... So even they all owls, but each of them have a different characteristics and they can be easily to be differentiated, even so I had a little trouble in the beginning... The story which is based on 3 books pleased me, because they wrote it really well so nothing miss in my opinion... The 3D effects were great too, I thought I can feel each drop of water from the rain because it looks so real... The cast voice were particularly amazing because they have Helen Mirren, Geoffrey Rush, Sam Neill, Jim Sturgess, Ryan Kwanten, and another great voice cast... Even so many people don't rate it high and probably some of them don't like this movie, but I just wanna say that "I like it"

Much better than expected after the negative hype surrounding it. The animation is beautiful while the story is cliche'd while still managing to be entertaining. The opening moments are a bit on the boring side, but overall I enjoyed it. I'm just not crazy about it.

This movie should have been entitled Hedwig: Life Before Harry. The opening credits are extreamely similar to the opening of most Harry Potter films and I couldn't help thinking of most of these owls as compared to a certain snowy white owl and owl post of other such matters. Anyway, as for the film itself, I really liked it. I hadn't really expected to, but it was surprisingly good. Honestly, I cannot quite figure out why so many people are hating on this movie. It's not the best movie I've ever seen, but it's still better than most. Then again I've never been sure why everyone is in love with Toy Story 3 and How to Train Your Dragon. Everything here from the storyline, to the voices, to the animation itself is so much better here. Generally, I kind of hate most action/adventure/fantasy/lets-be-heroes-and-fight-evil-and-stuff kind of stories. Maybe it's just nostalgia shining through, but I liked Lasky's ''Ga'hoole' books many years ago and also enjoyed the film now.

Canada Liberals face two-way challenge
Tuesday 29 April 1997
The governing Liberals called the election for 2 June because there were indications that the strong lead they have maintained in the polls since the last election was starting to fray. They wanted to nip in the bud the first indications of a Conservative Party revival.
Another major reason for the early call was to take advantage of confusion within the separatist Bloc Quebecois. Since Lucien Bouchard, its founder, became premier of Quebec last year, the Bloc has no one at the federal level tocan match his charisma.
But Prime Minister Chretien has already come under criticism because he was able to offer no reason other than political opportunism for calling the election at this time. Callers on radio talk shows were overwhelmingly negative yesterday. The criticism was particularly strong in Western Canada where attention is focusing on the worst flooding in 50 years in Manitoba, and electioneering has been put on hold until the spring runoff subsides.
If the support levels registered in pre-election polls were to be maintained, the Liberals would have no trouble returning to Parliament with a strong majority, since there is no obvious alternative. The two strongest opposition parties are the Bloc, which stands only in Quebec, and Reform, which draws most of its support from the two most western provinces.
The only national opposition parties are the Conservatives - driven from power in 1993 and reduced to two seats in the House of Commons - and the centre-left New Democrats who also lost their official party status (requiring a minimum of 12 seats) in the last election.
But signs of a Conservative recovery have started to appear, mostly because of the Tories' dynamic young leader, Jean Charest. At 38 - compared with Mr Chretien's 63 - he portrays himself as the leader for the 21st Century.
Although recent polls are showing modest increases for the Conservative Party as a whole, Mr Charest is outscoring the prime minister on leadership ratings, especially in Mr Chretien's home province of Quebec.
In the first poll since the election call, the Liberals' strategy for fighting off the Bloc Quebecois seems to be working with the party moving into almost a tie in the popular vote. But with Liberal support concentrated heavily among English -speaking Canadians and immigrants, the Bloc would still win more seats.
Another reason for the early election is the need for time to prepare for what could be the final battle with the separatists in an another referendum expected next year. The Liberals will have to offer additional concessions to offset the powerful appeal of Premier Bouchard. But those are likely to be unpopular in many parts of English-speaking Canada so Mr Chretien will downplay them to run on his economic record.
Budget-cutting has reduced the deficit and helped bring intererest rates to their lowest levels in 35 years. The Liberals have also reduced unemployment although it still remains at 9.5 per cent of the labour force.
The Liberals' major disappointment, however, has been their failure to reduce separatist support in Quebec. They have not recovered from the shock of the 1995 referendum in which the separatists came within one percentage point of winning.
The separatists have convinced the French-speaking majority in Quebec that Mr Chretien is to blame for Quebec's failure to win a special constitutional status.
Mr Charest is unlikely to gain many seats in Quebec because the vote is so polarised - federalists will concentrate their support for the Liberals. But in the rest of the country, he is making a strong case that he is a more modern, foward-looking leader than Mr Chretien.
"The choice is whether old, complacent leaders stay the course, or we set the course," Mr. Charest said in his election launch.
The Liberals are almost certain to retain power. But they will have to win a series of regional battles as well as counter Mr Charest's revival. The New Democrats will attempt to challenge the Liberals throughout the country but they have not been able to counter the rightward drift of Canadian politics over the past decade.

Ashton Kutcher
While studying biochemical engineering at the University of Iowa and working at a General Mills factory, Ashton Kutcher won a trip to NY in a modeling contest. He secured an agency contract within three days and booked campaigns with Calvin Klein jeans and Abercrombie & Fitch, where he met fellow model/future girlfriend of three years January Jones. His shaggy hair was perfect for That '70s Show, on which he plays hunky airhead Kelso for seven seasons. His good looks, sense of humor and growing fame with the teen set helped him land People's 50 Most Beautiful People list twice and numerous films like Dude, Where's My Car?, Just Married and The Butterfly Effect. He's wears all three trucker hats (creator, host, producer) on the celebrity hidden-camera prank series, Punk'd. The show's such a huge hit that when he starts stepping out with Demi Moore, 15 years his senior, people wait for the punchline. It never comes as the duo got hitched in 2005, her daughters referred to him as "My Other Dad" and years of TMI tweets follow. He produced the matchmaking contest Beauty and The Geek for the CW and continued to bank mostly mediocre comedies (Valentine's Day, No Strings Attached). In 2011, he replaced Charlie Sheen on Two and a Half Men for a reported $650,000 an episode, but got divorced amid infidelity rumors. Things were looking up in 2012 when he started dating his '70s girlfriend Mila Kunis and is playing Steve Jobs in a biopic.

They're excited in San Antonio about a new video installation in their town called The Saga by a French artist named Xavier de Richemont. (How do I know? The Visit San Antonio website calls it a "world class video art installation.") I thought I'd write briefly about it here because the piece is cast onto the facade of the 18th century San Fernando Cathedral, which is the seat of the archdiocese of San Antonio and a working church. The Saga has nothing to do with religion, though -- it's about the city's history, "the historical … [Read more...]

Delaware Deaccession Strategy: Sell Just Two Works?
The London auction offering William Holman Hunt's Isabella and the Pot of Basil from the Delaware Art Museum is a month away (June 17) but the catalogue is set to be released only on Monday. It's pretty clear why: the museum wanted to sell it privately, but Christie's couldn't come up with a buyer who would pay the required price. The painting carries an estimate of £5 to £8 million, or $8.4 to $13.4 million at today's exchange rates, according to an article in the Wilmington News Journal. It adds that the catalogue for the Victorian, … [Read more...]
Keep The Pre-Raphaelite, Sell Contemporary Art, Expert Says
While inveighing against the Delaware Art Museum's planned deacccession of William Holman Hunt's Isabella and the Pot of Basil at Christie's in London next month, Pre-Raphaelite expert Mark Samuels Lasner (below) brought up a very touchy subject: why not sell undistingished contemporary artworks instead? Lasner, who according to USA Today is "a senior research fellow at the University of Delaware Library and an expert on Victorian literature and art," called the planned sale "sacrilege." "Isabella and the Pot of Basil is "an … [Read more...]
The Word Is Out From Delaware Art Museum
The first painting that Delaware Art Museum trustees have chosen to deaccession is not, as many expected, Winslow Homer's Milking Time. Rather, they've chosen a pre-Raphaelite painting by William Holman Hunt, Isabella and the Pot of Basil. Christie's has placed it in its June 17 London sale of Victorian, Pre-Raphaelite & British Impressionist Art. But the catalogue is not yet online and the estimate has not been disclosed. Going against traditional museum ethics rules -- and some say without exploring all other options -- the museum … [Read more...]

Among the artworks: Jean-Auguste Dominique Ingres' Odalisque (below right); contemporary works by Roni Horn, Chinese artist Feng Mengbo and Iranian artist Mitra Tabrizian; an 18th-century Virgin of Guadalupe by Antonio de Torres; a pair of 9th century Japanese lions (below left) and a print -- Taureau et … [Read more...]
Can You Discern What Is A Caravaggio And What Isn't?
If experts can't agree, I probably can't tell (though I might have an opinion). Nonetheless, in this age of crowd-sourcing virtually everything that can be crowd-sourced, the Museum of Fine Arts in Boston is asking its visitors to answer that question. Since Apr. 12, the museum has presented a small exhibit of four paintings by the artist in Visiting Masterpieces: Caravaggio and Connoisseurship. Two, Fortune Teller (c 1594–95) and Fra Antonio Martelli, Knight Grand Cross of the Order of Malta (c 1608), are accepted as by the master -- though … [Read more...]

At least in the view of Rembrandt scholar Ernst van de Wetering, who says the work is "Portrait of Dirck van Os." No date was given in the Omaha World-Herald, which published the news today. Here's the backstory: In 1942 the museum purchased "Portrait … [Read more...]

We couldn't shake off the hawkers though, on the way back. The steps to the falls were lined with small shops selling all kinds of tacky bric-a-brac . Annoyingly , some of the more aggressive vendors literally forced us to enter their stalls. We checked out fake Breitlings and Omegas (for research purposes!) and found that prices varied from $5 to whatever they thought someone could pay. On the way to Lovina beach, a signboard caught our attention. It promised photo-ops with a "pet" bat and iguana.

Human element the decisive one
December 2, 2009
Vithal C Nadkarni
James Cameron obviously had the blue-skinned God Vishnu in his mind while making his latest film. The movie is called Avatar, or reincarnation, something for which Vishnu is celebrated in the Indian mythical tradition. The complexion of the protagonists, a humanoid race known as Na'vi, is an electrifying shade as blue as the sky-coloured God's skin. But the divine symbolism is more than skin-deep. The hero of Avatar is a paraplegic ex-marine who lies in a casket-like space vessel, while his consciousness is projected into an avatar: "Vishnu-blue and nine-feet-tall", like the native extra-terrestrials.

New coastal norms could find houses, businesses at sea
May 24, 2007
Neha Kohli , TNN
NEW DELHI: Be it housing or building a factory on the shore, tighter coastal norms could be on the way. The ministry of environment and forests has prepared a draft notification that draws new hazard lines on the seaward side of which only a few entities will be allowed to set up shop on shore. The entities listed in the draft notification include only those that require regular access to the shore such as ports, harbours and fishing jetties. "However, this holds only for coastal zones that will be declared by the ministry as not being eco-sensitive," said a government official.

Utes 28, Air Force 23
Player of the game
Brian Blechen
Utes' freshman safety had a team-high nine tackles, and he also intercepted a pass and recovered a fumble.
X factor
Utah's season-best five takeaways proved pivotal. The Utes recovered three fumbles and picked off a pair of passes in improving to 8-0 on the season.
By the numbers
Utah's 19 first downs led to a final time-of-possession advantage of more than 12-1/2 minutes. It offset a 411-327 deficit in total offensive yardage.
"Air Force is a tough team. We knew coming in it would take all four quarters."

A British-Iranian woman who had been arrested in Iran for trying to watch a volleyball match has been released on bail, her relieved relatives have said.
Ghoncheh Ghavami was taken into custody by Iranian authorities in June, and kept behind bars despite going on hunger strike twice and an international outcry. The 25-year-old was found guilty last month of "propagating against the ruling system" and received a custodial sentence.
Iranian authorities released her on bail after she had served five months because Ghoncheh has been suffering from "intestinal problems". Her brother Iman Ghavami told ITV News she had been released to stay with her parents until the Court of Appeal decides if she has to serve the remainder of her sentence.

Liquidators report phoenix company allegations
Relevant offers
A Bay of Plenty property developer who owes the late Allan Hubbard's Aorangi Securities $2.5 million has been reported to authorities over allegations he set up a phoenix company to dodge debts.
The referral by liquidators Kenneth Brown and Paul Maning of RHB marks the latest twist in a bitter and drawn-out dispute over an unfinished Papamoa residential development. Aorangi financed the development.
The latest liquidators' report for Peter Cameron's company, Emerald Shores, said concerns over possible Companies Act breaches relating to phoenix companies had been referred to the National Enforcement Unit, which policies the Act on behalf on the Registrar of Companies.
Phoenix companies refer to companies established, often with similar names, directors and shareholders to that of a failing business, in order to strip assets.
A spokesman for the National Enforcement Unit said it was waiting on further documents from the liquidators. "The Office of the Registrar will then investigate the allegations and information supplied and act appropriately," he said.
It was reported last year Cameron had incorporated a new company, Emerald Shores (2011), and transferred 13 sections of property into the new entity in the months leading up to the July liquidation.
Cameron described the arrangement at the time as "very credible, very kosher".
But when appointing liquidators to the company, a judge in the High Court in Timaru criticised the property transfers, describing them as "hiving off".
Brown and Manning's report said caveats had been placed over the 13 properties.
The receivership has been further complicated by Cameron appointing receiver Kim Scott Thompson to Emerald Shores to recover costs - including those for a failed challenge to the appointment of Brown and Manning - advanced by another of his companies, Cameron International (NZ).
Brown and Manning said they challenged the validity of the debt owed to Cameron International, and were seeking to have the appointment of Thompson terminated at a hearing at the High Court in Timaru on February 20.

Director's Cut
Free Energy: "Bang Pop"
Director Josh Nussbaum on his giddy retro high school throwdown
By Tom Breihan , May 26, 2010
From Elastica's "Stutter" to Dirty's "Hit Da Floe", great music videos are bursts of sound and vision that leave an indelible impression. Director's Cut is a Pitchfork News feature in which we chat with music video directors about their creations. The men and women behind the camera are often overlooked in today's YouTube era, but this feature aims to highlight their hard work while showcasing the best videos currently linking around the internet. A little behind-the-scenes dirt couldn't hurt, too.
Director Josh Nussbaum's video for Free Energy's dizzy power-pop jam "Bang Pop" works as a glorious pile-up of 70s and 80s horny-teenager movies: The girls-locker-room strip-down, the fire-alarm prank, the dancing gorilla. There's an innocent sense of fun to the clip's debauched hijinks, with the band reveling in playing up the classic hesher archetype and taking over the school. Like the classic 80s MTV videos it references, the "Bang Pop" video delights in its own cartoonish primary-color fakeness. When the members of the band stagger out of a bathroom stall, a cloud of smoke surrounding them and goofy grins on their faces, you can tell this is either how they spent their high-school years or how they wish they had.
Pitchfork spoke with Nussbaum about Rock 'n' Roll High School, wheelchair pyrotechnics, and the best place to find girls willing to get naked in music videos:
Free Energy: "Bang Pop" [director: Josh Nussbaum]
Pitchfork: This is obviously a super fun video. Was it fun to make? Or was it hard to wrangle all those people to look like they were having fun?
JN: I kept promising myself that I was going to have fun making the video. This was the mantra that I would repeat every morning. By nighttime, I needed to remind myself that I should be having fun with it. It was a huge challenge. The casting was left until two or three days before the shoot. At a certain point, I just had to put the casting into God's hands. We shot on the week of the ash cloud, so I lost a couple key members of my crew, and I ended up taking a lot of that responsibility on myself. The creative process of making the video was incredibly fun, but my personal expectations that are so high that I'm constantly having to remind myself to have a good time.
Pitchfork: Was it your idea to make the video an homage to the late 70s and early 80s high school comedies?
JN: This idea came directly from Paul [Sprangers], the leader singer. He was really inspired by the Ramones' Rock 'n' Roll High School. This was sort of his fantasy to play out, and everyone involved sort of adopted this fantasy because it's pretty much similar to something we had all dreamed of. We're all about the same age, 30 years old, and it's really reminiscent of all the things we wanted to do as kids.
Pitchfork: What other movies are in there? There seems to be a little bit of Fast Times at Ridgemont High.
JN: A lot of the references came from John Hughes movies. And there's definitely a little bit of "Hot For Teacher" in there, a little bit of Twisted Sister, and Rock 'n' Roll High School. All the creative development work on the video was done between rural Africa and Philadelphia because the producer and I were actually traveling on another project. We were just in this world with no internet, no phone, no electricity, no nothing-- just dreaming about this teenage fantasy. And I think that some of that is reflected in the final product, just being so far from it.
Pitchfork: The performances in the video-- really, just faces people make-- are great: The shifty face the drummer makes when he's taking out his drumsticks at the beginning, the singer when he's coming out of the bathroom stall. How did you get those out of everyone?
JN: There's a fine line in the video between campy humor and a genuine reality. Each one of the characters was created around the casting, and we had a really good sense of who characters would be, of what type of archetypes we were looking for. When we got to the casting, I just approached it with a really open mind. There was a Mexican exchange student who showed up, and so I just decided that this is the shy Mexican girl who is there that day for Cultural Day. She's going to be dressed in her native wear and giving a demonstration in her second period class. And so she became that girl and motivated all of the direction to her. Everybody was typecast and very comfortable in their skin. I would say the same is true for the band. This is not really far from the sentiments by which they live.
Pitchfork: Why are there so many bubbles in the video?
JN: The bubbles were a momentary inspiration in my first meeting with the production designer. I was just trying to intimidate him by creating an impossible list of requests. I probably said, "Oh, and of course there's gotta be bubbles the whole time". So I was very pleased when I showed up and there were bubbles the whole time.
Pitchfork: In the hallway scene, Evan Wells, the band's bass player, is doing all these wheelchair tricks. How many times did he fall down?
JN: Evan is just really good. In fact, he didn't fall once. Half of my directions in that scene were to him because he was at the front of the scene. I really wanted him to fall; I thought that would be great for the video. Unfortunately, that didn't happen. He did give it his all, he just didn't fall. The wheelchair was supposed to have fireworks shooting off it, but there were a lot of small to large pyrotechnics-- as well as all sorts of nudity and drug references-- that were at some point slated for the script, but fell by the wayside.
Pitchfork: Well, you did get some nudity in there. How did you find the girls who stripped in the locker room?
JN: If you're looking for girls to appear naked in your music videos, you can do casting sessions at Urban Outfitters. For some reason, those girls love to get naked. And they're also really nice people.
Pitchfork: How uncomfortable was it to shoot that? Or was it not an issue?
JN: It wasn't an issue. We filmed with a closed set, and I always make the offer to get naked. Unfortunately, nobody ever takes me up on it. I don't ask anybody to do anything they're not comfortable with, and I just had such a good rapport with everybody on set and didn't really hear too many nos. I went home wondering what else I could've gotten away with.
