The latest My Chemical Romance video is up on Youtube now and it’s stunning. If this video was a dude, I’d marry it. Visually, I love the blue tone and the way the light overwhelms the frame at times. On the performance side, the guys do some acting and it’s more like a short film, telling a real story, than a music video. I have loved everything with this new record and I can’t wait until it comes out on the 22nd.

Check out the video after the jump. (I’d recommend watching it in full screen.)

I snapped an iPhone pic, uploaded it to twitpic and thought nothing of it. Then today, I discovered this video of the weird Elvis robot, which makes it exponentially weirder and more creepy.

But before you scroll down or close this tab on your browser, let me just say that it is one of the most bizarre, fascinating and oddly entertaining things I’ve ever watched. It’s almost like the first time I saw “Trapped in the Closet” and couldn’t really think of a way to explain it to my friends. It’s really just something you have to see to understand.

Anyway, there’s all kinds of debate raging on Twitter and other sites as to weather Marbury’s just an out of work athlete who’s fueling some kind of ego-driven desire for attention or a completely insane person who’s having a mental breakdown live via webcam. I won’t weigh in either way because, honestly, I’m not really sure.

After checking out the “show” for about an hour today, the only way I could describe it was with a quote from Seinfeld. In the episode “The Letter” a snobby older couple analyzes the portrait of Kramer saying…

“I sense great vulnerability. A man-child crying out for love. An innocent orphan in the post-modern world.”
“I see a parasite. A sexually depraved miscreant who is seeking only to gratify his basest and most immediate urges.”
“His struggle is man’s struggle. He lifts my spirit.”
“He is a loathesome, offensive brute. Yet I can’t look away.”
“He transcends time and space.”
“He sickens me.”
“I love it.”
“Me too.”

Skip forward to 1:30 on this video:

Finally, enough is enough and he smacks the guy. I say, right on!

Can anyone explain what has happened to quality writing on tv these days?

Never could I imagine that the two things would meet in one place, but now they have… plus a little Michael Jackson, Karate Kid and Star Wars.

I had a moment exactly like this when I was about 11 years old. Thankfully, that was long before YouTube.
