No points just discussion!

I mean I get where your coming from, but Spike Jonze, in my mind is mostly some kid with a camera and a few ideas. He's not cynical in my mind (unlike Kaufman) he just wants to play with weird toys.

Maybe I just get too attached to things when nostalgia is involved. I dunno.

Yeah, he just wants to play with weird toys. But I know those guys, too. The point of the weird toys is to present a compelling narrative to the audience. The "Weapon of Choice" video is awesome, but primarily because it's Christopher Walken tapdancing. Okay, great. But aside from Christopher Walken tapdancing, what are you really bringing to the narrative?
