Sabotage by The Beastie Boys

and then Intergalactic

Take On Me because the rotoscoping work is amazing, and now more movies need to embrace it.

  • closest movie: Cool World, which is basically an avant-garde music video of its own, with people transitioning between the 2D and 3D worlds

Turbo Killer because it has fast cars, violence, and Satanism

  • closest movie: Rock and Rule, set in a furry cyberpunk dystopia "where magic and technology collide", featuring glowing pentagons and shiny (not as fast) cars
  • second closest movie: Nicolas Cage's Mandy. Just wait for it...

Dude, Turbo Killer DID get turned into a movie!! Carpenter Brut & Seth Ickerman did a ~30 min followup to Turbo Killer called Blood Machines. The plot and acting are awful. But the aesthetics are really good.

[โ€“] anarchost@lemm.ee 3 points 7 months ago

I love me a movie that can carry itself through aesthetics alone!

Both are good choices. Take On Me would be an iconic 80's movie and Turbo Killer would be B-movie gold.

I want Childish Gambino's "This is America" to be the RNA of a musical. Glover, with the right support, could make a legendary piece of American performance art.

[โ€“] GrappleHat@lemmy.ml 4 points 7 months ago

Interesting that you chose "RNA" for that phrase :)

Walken looks so powerful and wise, almost like an emperor.

I remember stumbling across this shortly after seeing watching Dune (the original) for the first time and thinking "hey wait a minute..."

Yep, and one more time, and digital love and.....

[โ€“] polarpear11@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

I've always thought of it as a movie, but yeah, longer with added dialogue and stuff. I have Stella tattooed on my arm, I'd LOVE to see some sort of remake/retelling of Interstella5555

Radioactive - Imagine Dragons

This is pure comedy gold and i could watch a full movie about underground stuffed animal/puppet/Muppet pit fighting.

The song is okay too but I much prefer the cover by Within Temptations.

I want at least a miniseries about the Starlight Brigade, from the music video Starlight Brigade - TWRP

Or a movie about the world/characters from Magnum Bullets - Night Runner

[โ€“] Chozo@fedia.io 4 points 7 months ago (1 children)

I was just reading something recently where either Dan or somebody from TWRP said that they actually tried to pitch Starlight Brigade as an animated series, but were never able to get it off the ground beyond just a music video.

Which is a real shame, because I love the design to Starlight Brigade. I would've loved to have seen what the fully-realized project could've looked like.

[โ€“] ObsidianZed@lemmy.world 3 points 7 months ago

100% agree. It's one of those songs that if I hear it or think of it, I HAVE to look up the video and watch it all over again.

Foo Fighters - Everlong

Alternatively: Foo Fighters - Lear to Fly

[โ€“] ReeferPirate@lemy.lol 3 points 7 months ago

I'd take a new tenacious d movie any day. My vote is for learn to fly as well

It's cheating since it's already been done, but Edgar Wright expanded Mint Royale - Blue Song into Baby Driver.

Aphex Twin - Come To Daddy. I felt even the directors cut was a bit rushed and left several unresolved themes.

Radioactive by Imagine Dragons. Ya know, the one with the underground fight club with little stuffed animal guys? That would make an awesome movie
