i thought the music selection was great for this, what was it?

[gosupermarche]

thanks suckonthis86. the music is part of Neil Young's score for Jim Jarmusch's "Dead Man".

Pretentious and completely beside the point. Sorry, man... I had to be an asshole for the sake of truth. I hate that it came to this, I really do. We are both the same.

RIP JD Salinger

I do love this video... The music sounds like a Radiohead's song, "Motion Picture Soundtrack".

Were you just lacking an actor, or was Sybil being imaginary your interpretation of story?

I really like how this was filmed. It's better than a lot of Banana Fish videos I've seen on here. Nice!

[StarfishJupiter]

ha ha ha ha ha. "Why Sybal was invisible". Hahahhahahhahhahaha.

[StarfishJupiter]

How is it pretentious? Explain and justify yourself you cock slurping bitch.

[GetMeThere1]

Cool.

I'd like to see Seymour's "life story." Starting out as his days on "It's a Wise Child," then as "Teddy" on the cruise ship, writing home from camp, defending Walt for giving away his new bike (was it Walt?), leaving Muriel at the altar (then eloping)...with this video as the ending...

We could leave out the part where he throws the rock at Charlotte...

If only Buddy would direct it...

i never saw him sighing, maybe it says he did..

but es, all tv should be stop-frame. niceity-nice

[ChelsR61090]

Very nice video, brought back memories of the story, good job.

There were alot of holes in this. For instance we never find out why Sybal was invisible. This wasn't the case in the story, and the reasons for this change arnen't made clear. Also, why was the gun between two folded shirts on the bed. Also, I thought you left out an important part in your omission of Muriel.
