Ant Muzak [2002]

A short film by Ben Gregor and Tim Plester depicting what it could be like if Adam & the Ants circa early 1980s went shopping at their late-night co-op. Notice the store managers name tag reads 'Dirk' and he's wearing white socks. And he just so happens to be played by the real life Gary Tibbs (that's Mackenzie Crook's character for those of you who aren't Antfanatics...)

Hope you enjoy! I certainly do. Supermarket trips have never been the same since I saw this...

Absolutely NO COPYRIHT INFRINGEMENT INTENDED. I'm just posting what's already on the web on another website...Sorry for the pretty bad quality, this is the only version I could find. Of course, if you would like to keep a copy to view at your leisure, you should buy the DVD...

I was feeling like absolute shite today. Wondering if I should jump out the window or something. I saw this on a Mackenzie Crook Tumblr, (he always cheers me up), and now I am ecstatic. Thank you to all involved in this beautiful, bizarre thing. :)

@luciola70 I was thinking about taking this down the other day - now I'm really glad I left it so it could cheer you up. Funny how little things can turn your mood the right way up sometimes :) I'm glad you're feeling better.

I love Adam Ant, always have. To see Nick Moran portray him going shopping with the rest of the Ants, I think, is hilarious. Wonder what the real Adam Ant thinks of it?

[appleXinkling]

@stridgicals I seem to remember seeing it somewhere that he found it very funny, which is nice to know :)

supermarket announcer sounds like Mark Heap! Thanks for posting this, love it =D

[appleXinkling]

@ObsoleteLaika LOL Guess what I'd already done that! I "made" it multi-region with directions off the internet. Allegedly.

The 6 to 8 problem is pretty easy. Just buy four of one and three of the other. Granted, that's a lot of nothing but hotdogs and rolls for a while. :-/

"...have you tried the Pick 'n' Mix?"

Gets me crying with laughter everytime

[ObsoleteLaika]

@ethereel Single-region DVD-players can be easily hacked to be multi-region. It's much cheaper, and very, VERY easy. You could do a google search and find it instantly. I'm not encouraging this, because it's hella' illegal, I'm juuuuuust puttin' it out there.
