his followup to "Get Yourself High" ?

well it's ALMOST an excellent video; I wish he wouldn't have done things so broad. Still; it's IMO the best thing he's done in years and light years above the last Muse video (which might be one of the worst of the year - all the worst 90s cliches in one lame ass video).

Heh, amusing video.

QT will love it.

Uhm that was bad ass! I have to say that I wrote a treatment very simular. Of course he did it way better than I could.

...And the time will come when they will become Queen!

BRILLIANT. I want to see a full length movie of Knights Of Cydonia. Excellent.

Most excellent on every level.

movie? hell, i'd buy a tv just to watch this if it were a series, one of those never-ending ones.

(just one thing: i'd recast the hero. too slight/comical, this guy.)

kevathens, July 18, 2006 at 12:27:54 PM CEST

Excellent!! So glad I didn't see that first on YouTube..

It's been a while, so I'll remind everyone: Put your best-format link first, so podcasters can (hopefully) d/l them. Don't know if they can get the streamos, though..

progosk, July 18, 2006 at 1:00:31 PM CEST

best QT links first (the feed ignores utoob & flash links); qt streams usually work (strangely enough the apple trailer for science of sleep won't download when podcasted...)

Wow i really enjoyed that :) a nice fun video

otc, July 18, 2006 at 4:45:05 PM CEST

Excellent video. It manages to jam quite a bit of story in there, then again I guess it's a 6 minute video.

najork, July 18, 2006 at 6:54:49 PM CEST

This and Muscle Museum are Kahn's best IMO, though completely dissimilar. I like Muse more for making an almost-instrumental track like this a single.

hakai, July 18, 2006 at 6:57:16 PM CEST

HELP! I can't stop watching it!!!!

familiar, July 18, 2006 at 6:57:56 PM CEST

Wow. Amazing.

hakai, July 18, 2006 at 7:04:41 PM CEST

Go to his website. There's a different version. I noticed an extra shot im calling "Shaolin Doggy Style"

jdub, July 19, 2006 at 2:15:06 AM CEST

expensive fx and shiny costumes, a dope look, dope sets, dope genre hybrids...and yet...somehow...it falls flat.

bclikesyou, July 19, 2006 at 7:30:07 AM CEST

yeah they really hold out on those vocals. but it's perfect!

kevathens, July 19, 2006 at 1:06:13 PM CEST

Just incredible.. These are the kinds of vids Kahn was born to make, really. (see also Wu-Tang which I covered a bit). His movie/comic book videos really are most often his best.

langdonallger, July 19, 2006 at 4:40:03 PM CEST

i guess i don't get it

mainchara, July 19, 2006 at 5:41:06 PM CEST

this is the first muse song i hear, definitely not the first Kahn vid i see. I always hated his work, but this is just excellent.

moonman, July 19, 2006 at 5:48:13 PM CEST

killer/corbijn collaboration + kill bill + barbarella + kahn + really good song = one of the best videos of the year
