Comments on: Spike Jonze Directing Video For New Beastie Boys Single… With Action Figures https://staging2.theplaylist.net/spike-jonze-directing-video-for-new-beastie-boys-single-with-action-figures-20110701/ Fri, 13 May 2016 14:16:12 +0000 hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=6.7.2 By: DAE777 https://staging2.theplaylist.net/spike-jonze-directing-video-for-new-beastie-boys-single-with-action-figures-20110701/#comment-93688 Fri, 13 May 2016 14:16:12 +0000 http://www.indiewire.com/2011/more/uncategorized/spike-jonze-directing-video-for-new-beastie-boys-single-with-action-figures-117712/#comment-93688 I am pretty f*cking bummed out that one of my favorite directors and favorite bands is moving forward with releasing a video that is so clearly stealing from the work of outsider (not to mention disabled and broke!) artist Mark Hogancamp (not just a \”homage\”, but a blatant theft). Hogancamp is a supremely gifted artist who only reluctantly decided to share his very, very personal work with the world … only to have his thunder stolen and his distrust in the motives of \”the outside world\” confirmed. It may be true that \”this is how things happen\” in Hollywood but for f*cks sake couldn\’t the powers that be scrape up SOME morals when it comes to the life of a person as rare, vulnerable and deeply in need of funds as Hogancamp? Watch the documentary \”Marwencol\” and realize that his living & financial situation has not changed too significantly since. Very pissed off out to hear that this brave and unique soul, who continues to struggle in trusting others after the tragedy that befell him in 2000, is still getting stolen from. I truly hope Jonez & the Beasties give this man the credit and compensation he deserves for whatever watered-down Marwencol impersonation they eventually release. Would be pretty disappointing if they didn\’t.

To hear that he plans to do another film with Charlie makes me all warm and fuzzy inside.

@Timmy: Get over what?

And good lord, the comments are these parts sure have been bitchy lately.

Please tell me you were being ironic.
