All we're missing are the suits.

I wish somebody would say, "Hey, you know, the video for Hoobastank's 'The Reason' really sucks. I mean, it totally doesn't go with the song, 'cos the song's all sweet and stuff but in the video, they're pulling off a jewel heist? WTF, mate

Seen the Beastie Boys' new video?

Please tell me it's a sad and awkward homage and not, uh, a sad and awkward ripoff.

I have not. What sad and awkward things happen in it?

It's exactly like the Sabotage video, except with no coherent theme. They run around in bad wigs and fight crime and fires and robots or whatever, which I'm generally in favor of, except this time it's a bad unsexy rehash. There's none of the dirty-sly style Spike Jonze brought to it. I was thinking at the beginning that maybe it's an attempt at a composite of Beastie Boys videos past, what with the inclusion of the robot, but if that's what it's going for then it's not doing a very good job at it.
