Not Your Run-Of-The-Mill McMansion

Recently my dad made some offhand comment about how he likes to watch "Pimp My Ride" sometimes. I guess it's not really all that shocking but just the idea of my dad intentionally tuning into MTV to watch a show was about as improbable as me doing the same thing.

Let's just say it: MTV blows. We all know it and I am severely uninterested in watching tripe like "My Super Sweet 16" or "Cribs". Yet, one of my favorite directors has gone and done a sparkly "Cribs" spoof that is more enjoyable than any episode I have ever had the displeasure of watching. Michel Gondry can be counted on to make something decidedly different. Did you see The Science of Sleep? Not quite as mainstream as Eternal Sunshine but that extra freedom gave him a chance to really show his colors. So good. Please rent if you have not seen it yet.

Enjoy Gondry's Crib

I totally have this Netflix flick at home as I write this. No wonder we have 83% compatibility with our queues!!
