A Letter To Colleen

[bigcity1974]

I used 457,000 sheets of paper... all my work is done by hand

[TeoDopedSquirrel]

Great Work!!!!!what program did you use?

[CharlieDaChoralier]

i remember reading this in English but i don't know why

[XxMzCobain4evesxX]

this is really good

[KingoffKentucky]

So..GOOD

[MikeWilkinson100]

what the fuuuuuuuuuuuuuckk aha

[J55885522]

I AGREE WITH pvtmeives!

[colleenmariejohnson]

My names Colleen, haha

[TheNAVEDEVAN]

This automatically reminded me of Fight Club.

[AtheistTower]

this is completely fucked up.

[ciriahcallen]

I always read it 'letter to the colen' which makes me want to watch itxD

[GalooGameLady]

Loser teens. And rotoscopy.

[toystradamus]

FIGHT CLUB!!!

[collwf1]

woah its interesting this video is , hah my name is colleen

[JCDiversity]

parts were a bit off but loved the use of oxymorons

[lolalila55]

We are living in a world that is falling apart and our present historians have the nerve to call it modern."

[jensfuckinghansen]

I hate to think that I hated this for what I hate to think is the wrong reason

[samtucker100]

maaaaaaaaaaaate

[MyNameIsAlexDavidude]

wow, this is very nice.

[chelseamuse72]

the script of this could be legit poetry.

[AmberFVL]

beautifully disturbing. so honest. i know a lot of kids whose experiences are represented in this short.

[mrdee11091]

nice post

[LavaLoveNoise]

beautiful. 

[boomgal87]

Does this actually happen?

[TheMuffinist]

@boomgal87 of course.

society defines what's cool or not, what's pretty or not.

I'm a teen. I hate the way people at my school think fucking someone is great, smoking is for the cool ones and being drunk is awesome.

I hate what the world has done to all these generations.

[MisterDanLorth]

seriously what the fuck is this

[FierceRodents]

I don't understand whyeveryone goes: poor children, our fucked up generation, I hate teens today...

Nothing has really changed, every generation has its motto, we are the party generation.A time when we want everyone to have the freedom to do everything.I like this generation. The people either grow up or die in a car crash, and thats it.And the adults aren't that much better. I don't see the point in condemming them, just so you can feel better about yourselves.

[cel86]

Shit.

[lineartracker]

good feeling by the violent femms

[Alexandre1703]

Does anyone know the title of the song at the end?

[ben2sk8]

@Alexandre1703 it's "Good Feeling" performed by Violent Femmes :)

[Alexandre1703]

@ben2sk8 Tanks! :D

[serioussaad]

what is the name of the song in the beginning ???? plllz i need the name of the song .......

[owleyed]

@serioussaad The Pixes-Where is my mind

[Bonez0r]

@serioussaad The Pixies - "where is my mind" (i replied because the previous replier made a typo in the rtist name :)). It's the same song that's played in the last scene of Fight Club.

[serioussaad]

@Bonez0r

thx mate :)

[MeBeMindyB]

i don't think i'll EVER call my daughter Colleen after watching this.

[ParlorCake]

I liked the first part. Very true....

the second part, however...just, didn't belong in my opionion. Too weird, strange, creepy...ruined the flow of it and the deepness of the first part....

[TheMuffinist]

I have been watching this so much lately. At least 3 times,just in one week.

It makes me calm, but hating society too. But i love it anyway. It's disturbing, but beautiful.

[ShyWallflower]

...all so very true...i love how some people are like this is stupid or retarded. Funny how people with so little perspective fear what they dont get. Or perhaps..they just dont care like the rest.

[jasperisneat]

this is retarded

[missagaintrophy]

@jasperisneat fag

[F4rl30d]

ah future shots always make me think ........

[Rafhabass]

...Amazing

[mcronicr]

smells like a B.A.

[ionutreturns]

OMG

[akwlb2]

OMG! the video had started and then advertisements went on? Stop teasing me stupid youtube.

[gears142]

Really good. It's what I'd imagine an American version of Trainspotting to be like. It's very well crafted, sounds balance is a bit weird but my computer is a bit funky like that. Good though. This is of film festival standard!!

[oSpiTFiRe]

I didn't like the ending :/

[naturalbornstoner]

OMOSHIROI〜shocking and motivational

[purna16]

intense but amazing

[NeonBoneyard]

fuckin goose bumps

that was grand

[lizikakizil]

I'm trying to figure out this guy's faint accent.

[emzmurcko]

@lizikakizil new york

[RoserroterElefant]

@RavenWorldDesign Where is my mind- pixies

[RavenWorldDesign]

@Schokofresser93 thanks (:

[haribo687]

Sorry, but this is wank. Life's so hard for young americans!

[Makzim83]

@Sniperb0y008 devil IS. inside of us.

[RavenWorldDesign]

please whats the name of the music that started at 0:15 ...?

[Schokofresser93]

@RavenWorldDesign It's the Pixies- Where is my mind

[zestytoaster]

didnt like it, too my generalizations about people my age

[zestytoaster]

@zestytoaster many*

[maximilianC9]

wow that was a piece of art.

[jkjoker777]

Very poetic. this is beautiful.

[Gogeta421]

How awsomely HOT !!!!!!!!!` lol

[juandelacruz]

man... freaking Colleens, right?

[perpetualclass]

twin towers in the skyline

[maximylyanovich]

Heh, my friends gave me a 12. Happy Birthday, you desensitized bastard.

Now, see how self-centered that was. You can find thousands of these wretched posts from crying teens (yours truly), or you can go to a party and argue over music and sexual preference. The only upside to this video was the animation, cause, let's agree, it was awesome. *add another illogical statement*

[chevaova]

WOW!!!! it's AWESOME!!!!...

[ciriahcallen]

I watchedd this because i thought it said "Letter to the colen" :/ stupid me

[kattooMC]

Thankfully, the sick american no-longer-a-dream-but-a-nightm­are will soon be over as the ever growing foreign debt will cause briefest and most painful collapse of an empire in human history. RIP.

[TwistedBlueMind]

@kattooMC i agree partially with what you are saying......america is not well.. we are falling apart. looks like china already owns us... every single american is to blame for this.

i have teenage children, i hope this "letter to collen" never becomes a part of their social life. this is so sick. nice work on this short.

[AmyJayn]

freaking love this song.

[pvtmeives]

I don't know wether to like or dislike I liked the video itself, but it seems as time goes on generation after generation gets dumber and more rebellious. I'm 15 and I enjoy culture, Unlike my peers.

[MrKennethfelch]

PIXIESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Snaffer01]

Another nice video!

[DurexDurpaneu2]

Seen it coming, it happened in Surrey BC with a 15y old girl. Sick shit, brutal msg, very well done. 5/5

Also ,fuck the new generation. They don't even know what it means to be elegant. Bunch of dumb animals. This world is becoming more stupid by the minute...

[camciudat]

It's too... violent.

[lozzo11omg111]

Great video.

I personally look to the future. i always ask myself: what can i do to make a difference? something which fixes some of the finer details like uncouth youth? or help sort out some of the general ground work for most of society like the upcoming energy/food crisis? we tend to live in a rickety tower of culture, if something important falls off the rest of us will probably follow whether we want to or not.

[antnybeard]

this made me think about the way i live my life. it's not pretty.

[AngryKat10]

I hate my generation. Its only good side is the internet and even that is used for its bad. Everyone I find seems to agree with me but only for a day. Then they're gone. Wasted. I try to find others who'd rather do anything else. Anything that isn't drugs, or alcohol, or a party that everyone knows will end up with people having sex in the rooms. I try to find people like me. It never works.

[ZOBENGRAUZIS]

@AngryKat10

maybe you don't look in the right places.

btw i like my generation. at least in my country this brainless epidemic still hasn't got too many people. 

[fermerwuvu]

@AngryKat10 same here!

[FierceRodents]

@AngryKat10 awww, didn't you get invited? Is that why you are so bitter?

[Blah3156]

I am so glad my first time wasn't like this!

[EdwardNorton3]

The pixies - Where Is My Mind

[xMizzDollFacex]

what was the song in the beginning?

[mindlesslogic]

1/2 assed shock "art"

[invizabie]

favorite video ever.

[hamletrulzz]

That was exceptionally well done.

[attackblow]

when did getting drunk until you throw up become cool?

[zachariahthomaslewis]

@attackblow when cannabis became illeagal under prohibition, alcohol became romanticized and in most minds less dangerous.

[ben2sk8]

This was amazing. The story, the animation = perfect.

[serpentisma]

that was great. just a great story altogether. the pixies was a nice touch, too.

[schwyzerdrache]

I know how someone like this feels. I am just smart enough to get up again everytime something brought me down.

[Nielsen700]

Disturbing

[indigestive]

Sounds like one hell of a party

[SuckMyDave]

That was deeeep.

[Tolstoievsky]

intense..tough you can replace alcohol with a moderate amount of ecstasy for some pretty interesting effects

[CrystalCuteCuddly]

"Does this signify anything to you? Who wants to live in a world filled with pre-adults who hate themselves so much that when they see their faces in the mirror they rip them off?"

[CorvidTabard]

excellent

[PowerhouseTom]

just before i watched this i watched 'U cant touch this' by MC hammer and wen he went stop, i thought he was gonna go HAMMER TIME and dance

[NoclueeR]

wow

[otheraccount130]

someone please give me the name of the song that plays in the begining, its on the tip of my tounge and its killing me

[AzulVG]

@otheraccount130 pixies - where is my mind

[mjljthekings]

A disturbing real life portrait of growing up in "modern" society.

[mallybee1]

That was horrifying but beautiful all at the same time. I hate what this world has done to children.

[Mauser2012]

lofty

[AnotherExperience37]

It's just about having the right people to party with.

[SunshineInWoods]

Alienating... but given that I passed all the day reading about catharsis and the dreadful things Janov has done I didn't appreciate the refer to the Primal Scream. Really good the shift to the black memories...

[smeagle9999]

sex in front of a bunch of drunk teens and small girls.... yet people cant accept the fact that humans are animals

[fermerwuvu]

@smeagle9999 Yes! I am against those sex things and whatnot..but if we are animals then just let us be animals..If you do that then dont drive a car,then dont go to work,then dont eat on the table,then dont obey the laws..Lets just tear each other apart and live like beasts..atleast then we won't be harming the planet as much as we do now..

[ThatOpinionater]

Well I feel slightly depressed now.

[jeebersjumpincryst]

wow! that brings back memories. I was late teen-21 when this music was really popular - i loved VF and pixies, and had a few experiences similiar to this. Crazy insane at the time, but looking back now, just rarely accessed memories. I wonder where those girls are now, maybe dead, but gotten better i hope. I hope. They probably thinkin same about me, if they ever think back to then...

ps - pixies live in old trafford manchester 2003? rocked!!!

;) from nz

[virgillevinger]

Stories like this are the reason that I will not have any children.

[ecuador78]

so frikkin depressing

[favoritedeadpeople]

How sad :(

[penguin28269]

Thats amazing.

[aivyelisa]

i'm a teenager. i love parties, i enjoy them much, i could be 'banged' so often, i've also kissed so many guys, i love to rock my feelings out just like many teenagers .. unhandled feelings. anyway, this is shoking. i'm a proud virgin. sex is not everything. education is what i desire the most.

[123spasser123]

whats the name of the last song?

[Sebssw]

@123spasser123 good feeling (original album) by violent femmes :)

[TheDeathHallow]

What's the name of the song in the begining?

[sikoo31]

@TheDeathHallow where is my mind by the pixies

[hdruktenis]

powerful story. well done.

[DavidEdwardSchnell]

The information age is now the IDENTITY AGE!

[HamishClayton]

STOP.

[Lioneltristan]

intense



[pbldiaz28]

Its sad that this is reality now. its sad because i know people like this. its sad because people like this live the room over. its sad because they haven't realized the problem with their behavior. its sad because nobody will say a word.

[OwnagePwnage23]

@pbldiaz28 speak up then

[ZacsShow]

Holly shit the pixies, just literally thinking about them for the last couple of days i am so shaken.

[HarrisonSmith1]

this was awesome

[A7AL0N]

what is this guy on? tho it had it's moments

[fermerwuvu]

I agree with everything he said..and its so sad that most teenagers are like that nowadays..im a teenager too and because of most of them being so i feel like i dont fit in..Just because a hug from the girl i love or to hold her hand is wayyy more important than fucking and/or getting drunk..Just because I dont go to parties cause i hate the stupid talentless songs they play there and the poison called "boose" they drink..Just because i am not cool..

[slolo420]

If this is cool .. then let me be square :)

[BiowareNut]

@fermerwuvu Being "cool" is just a label people use to manipulate others. Way to think for yourself. Wish everyone did that.

[OwnagePwnage23]

@fermerwuvu fag stfu

[KingKael00]

@fermerwuvu so your a loser then ...

[meddeyc]

@fermerwuvu Herpa derp 'boo hoo I'm unpopular'. Go suck a duck fagget.

[jeebersjumpincryst]

@meddeyc dont worry - if hes studying, making good life decisions and just being himself (?her), you may have the opportunity,in a surprisingly short time, to wave to him from yr digger as he flys by to a sweet well paid interesting job in his new mercedes - if yr even luckier, he might give you menial cleaning and 'landscaping' work on his big property.... dont yuk it up too much just yet, Biff. (yes ladies n gents - the world is actually like this, if u dont win the fame lottery...)

[meddeyc]

@jeebersjumpincryst hahahaha your an idiot. I go to one of the top ten schools in England, have good GCSE grades and good university prospects. You wish.

[JRayMalcolm]

@meddeyc I pity the person who settles an argument with insult. makes you wonder if you really know anything or if you just dismiss others without reason? maybe your the one who's unpopular but you dont realize it because you tell off anyone who says otherwise? check your self bro.

[JRayMalcolm]

@meddeyc I pity the person who settles an argument with insult. makes you wonder if you really know anything or if you just dismiss others without reason? maybe your the one who's unpopular but you dont realize it because you tell off anyone who says otherwise? check your self bro.

[fermerwuvu]

@meddeyc Popular? That's the least of my concerns..pfff you clearly dont understand what im saying..And why instulting? Cause im telling the truth? I rather be alone than selling my soul to be popular..fuck this..

[JRayMalcolm]

@fermerwuvu I've come to realize most people are too caught up in the physical expressions of things. fun means getting drunk, love means sex, happiness means money and "things." I dont even dislike them for all that superficiality any more, I pity them, and not in a cruel vindictive way. I sincerely wish that people could be happy all the time, for no reason! Im 18 and I've never tasted alcohol in my life and Im the happiest person out of all my friends, I wish I wasn't.

[fermerwuvu]

@JRayMalcolm Same here! I only got drunk twice and i didnt like it..you puke..your body doesnt like it..its shit..I can be wayyyy more happy without that piss..Sex is not love..To be honest i only kissed a girl when i was 10..im 16 now, there's a girl i love and we are not together for a complicated reason (but soon we might be and i hope on that) anyways..I never had sex..and i only kissed once but I am sure I know what love is..Oh and im not even going to talk about materialism..

[ElementAndrew99]

@fermerwuvu lol

[fermerwuvu]

@ElementAndrew99 yea lol..why?

[invaderpink]

@fermerwuvu  amen

[serpentisma]

@fermerwuvu little secret: NOBODY fits in. they try to fake it, but in the end, they're on the outside looking in. you were just smart enough to see it before them. as for "booze," i quote: "if someone suffers from alcohol abuse, it is not from the use of a bad thing. it is from the overuse and abuse of a good thing." - abraham lincoln.

[zachariahthomaslewis]

@fermerwuvu Fu*k booze, smoke weed! It enchances romance, and (unlike alcohol) won't kill you. If you want a connection that lasts; there is nothing like Barry White, lit candles, a comfortable sofa, and a doobie for two.

;)

[ApertureJanitor]

@zachariahthomaslewis Its for people who try and fool themselves into thinking they are having a good time but are just sitting in a room laughing.

Incredibly lame

[fermerwuvu]

@zachariahthomaslewis i agree :)

[ApertureJanitor]

@fermerwuvu I'm exactly the same as you, dude

[TheGamerUH8]

@fermerwuvu I know exactly what you mean, and I hate my generation. I've expressed it before, and am not afraid to say it. All the shit the people I know stands for is down right disgusting. I still like the people I know, and don't hate anybody, it's just hard to really connect with someone who's only got booze and drugs on the brain.

[TheGamerUH8]

@fermerwuvu And about the hug and hand holding, I was so comfortable with doing just that in my old relationship, that the girl asked me what was wrong and why I wasn't trying anything on her, all because I just wanted to hold her hand or hug her. That relationship didn't last long after that. I have a lot of respect for you, I do.

[Cheedillow]

@fermerwuvu Don't let the thumbs up fool you you're still a boring loser.

[fermerwuvu]

@Cheedillow ok thanks for the info.

[Lloydswonderworld]

Ouch!

[usamimiproductions]

damn, i really don't know what to say, i love this and yet it makes me say damn.

[0ner0ckb0y]

I ♥ THE PIXIES

[Requiredtobitch10]

WoW...... just WoW i really liked this it really shows what simple things like that can do to a person.....

[czownzor]

0:01 fucktheadd

[badhumus]

hey guys, what about the ending song?
