Aww thanks! :) Its for a job in my local V-shop....im thinking it wont be long before they find out my crazy obsession when working in a music shop! :lol: Oh well! Fingers crossed!

I'm rootin' for ya! :cool:

um...i don't like the video really at all. sorry but it got so hyped up with the director and all and i just finished it with a feeling like i was cheated. too weird, too scattered.and just because something is in black and white doesn't make it a good video in the end. sorry :/

 

i hope with the next one they have a better outing, i was a bit disappointed with this, if anything the single selection itself.

Crappies video since...well pretty much all coldplays videos are shoddy

 

 

of course except for the scientist

i hate to say it but they def hype dup corbijn too much...he is creative but i was expecting more

In my opinion The Scientist video looked cheap and poorly made. That and the fact that it was a little cliche. I think that Talk was definatley a step in the right direction for the band.

yeah talk was deffinetly not cliche :rolleyes:

Edit: I thought that you were agreeing with me, but saying that the Talk video was too not cliche. But if you're saying that Talk is a cliche video, the post below me should clear that all up.

cliche

 

n : a trite or obvious remark [syn: platitude, banality, commonplace, bromide]

 

Scientist Video:

"I'm going back to the start"-Chris walking backwards going back to the start.

 

Talk Video:

The band travels in a B movie style space ship, lands on a planet and finds a robot. They take one of his buttons. They walk around. Unless you just sit there and take it all literally and not look for the deeper meaning, no. It's not a cliche.

its an extreme cliche in america..you saw this stuff all the time in the days of late grunge...

Go on....

Coldplay is very far from a llate grunge band, and therefore doing a video that is typical of a late grunge group pretty much removes any cliche's that may come with it.

it really doesnt matter if its cliche or not even thought it is...what matters if its entertaining and the fact is its downright boring and makes absolutely not a speck of sense..its to dark and doesnt look good on television...the video will crash and burn

 

with some of the best talent in the world youd think theyd be able to create a more artistic and beautiful vision..not to mention one that isnt just playing the song with a big light panel behind them..

I really think that you have a very skewed interpretation of what a cliche is. And I've sort of given up explaining how the video makes sense to people, so you can happily go on bashing it. But I can assure you that it was a success, that it was meaningful, and that it made perfect sense. To understand it you have to think. That's where you use your brain to logically piece together information so that you can draw apropriate conclusions. It isn't like The Scientist where Chris says "Going back to the start." then you see things going backwards and say "Oh boy, this is deep."

Crius, don't even try. Some people you can talk to about things like this and some you can't.

 

A lot just don't want to look past the entertainment factor, which is pretty sad. It must be boring to live that way. :snore:

Alls I know is...

 

...The video rocks my socks. The end.

actually I have aspergers sydrome so I see everything different from everyone else...

Well that would explain a lot, yeah. Maybe before professing your opinion you may want to let people know that you see things in a bit of a different light.

*headdesk*

that was one of the funniest videos ever! i loooooooved it. so unpredictable!! i just love it. haha. did i mention that??

It is different, it is interesting... But emotionally - zilch. I dunno why, the thing that has bothered me about X&Y since the start is that it is nowhere near as moving as their earlier work. The song 'Talk' itself is probably as near moving as it has got for me. And I did hope (actually I was quite sure) that the band would latch on to that when making the video. How wrong I was.

 

I dunno, it's very artistic and all, and shows us a new perspective from which to view the band, but for me, it lacks that one thing that would have made it really special... It's the same complaint that has marred my enjoyment of X&Y since I first heard it. That is, where oh where has the heart gone?

totally unrelated.. but sweet marianne, i love ur avatar.. marvin is the cutest and most depressing robot ever.

i was just thinking, some people mentioned they didn't think the video went with the song.... :/ I think its actually the best coldplay video for suiting the song...if that makes sense! :lol:

'Do you feel like you're going where you've been before'.....then the robot goes back into the robot-shaped hole....genius! :lol: :lol:

:wink3:
