If they're planning on reinacting the group orgy from near the end of Gravity's Rainbow, then they *might* be onto something.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 13:59 (twenty years ago)

$200 to make out? I'm there w/ pasties on!

― David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 13:59 (twenty years ago)

― Fritz Wollner (Fritz), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 14:00 (twenty years ago)

"plain and innocent - can have braces"

― Tom (Groke), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 14:01 (twenty years ago)

CAB DRIVER: Male, Caucasian

Well, there goes realism.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 14:03 (twenty years ago)

only the gay couple and the graffitti artist can be "any ethnicity".

― Fritz Wollner (Fritz), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 14:04 (twenty years ago)

"tag-banging"

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 14:06 (twenty years ago)

"any ethnicity" - but they are filtering out jews by holding audition on yom kippur!

― joseph cotten (joseph cotten), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 14:08 (twenty years ago)

me & my girlfriend are going to apply to be the HOT COUPLE.

also, don't the strokes know how to spell heroin?

― Special Agent Dale Koopa (orion), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 14:11 (twenty years ago)

only the lesbians are not making out agressively.
this video will feature almost too much aggressive make out.

― carly (carly), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 14:15 (twenty years ago)

Why don't they just get Lauren Bacall herself to be the socialite?

― jaymc (jaymc), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 14:19 (twenty years ago)

"agressive making-out" = they should punch and kick each other while locking lips; maybe pull hair, too.

― David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 14:20 (twenty years ago)

hot, sexy, rock n’ roll, downtown hipster

my middle names

― N_RQ, Tuesday, 18 October 2005 14:23 (twenty years ago)

― jhoshea (scoopsnoodle), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 14:37 (twenty years ago)

what do you expect from a casting call

― s1ocki (slutsky), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 14:38 (twenty years ago)

If they want HEROINE CHIC HIPSTER MALE, they should've listed Brad Renfro as the reference. Or Bijou Phillips.

I'm icing my nipples.

― David R. (popshots75`), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 14:42 (twenty years ago)

Heroine chic! U GUYS TEY WANT A TRANNY

― The Ghost of Black Elegance (Dan Perry), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 14:42 (twenty years ago)

Do you think they've met any actual lesbians?

― Drew Daniel (Drew Daniel), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 15:41 (twenty years ago)

Are you doubting their knowledge of strip bars?

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 15:55 (twenty years ago)

"Heroine Chic?" Is this like someone thinking it's cool to dress up like Wonder Woman?

― Josh in Chicago (Josh in Chicago), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 19:29 (twenty years ago)

heroin chic was one of the best thing about the 90s

― Lovelace (Lovelace), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 19:51 (twenty years ago)

An ex-model friend of mine used to describe how she'd arrive at photo sessions drunk and bombed out of her mind and the photographer would go, 'Fabulous!' *snap* 'I love it!' *snap* as she crawled around on the floor. She misses those days.

― moley, Tuesday, 18 October 2005 20:00 (twenty years ago)

goddamnit i hate the strokes

― buyabiznatch (buyabiznatch), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 20:05 (twenty years ago)

Are they recreating Xtina's "Beautiful" video?

― Curt1s St3ph3ns, Tuesday, 18 October 2005 20:07 (twenty years ago)

I was waiting for a reference to that.

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 20:15 (twenty years ago)

Is Eric Roberts gonna be in this one too?

― Old School (sexyDancer), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 20:25 (twenty years ago)

I can't wait for this video now! I wanna know how it turns out.

― M@tt He1geson (Matt Helgeson), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 20:30 (twenty years ago)

― Christopher Costello (CGC), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 21:50 (twenty years ago)

"Prefer Caucasian"? Fuck a Stroke

― Morley Timmons (Donna Brown), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 22:07 (twenty years ago)

IMPORTANT: The video is cutting edge

― miccio (miccio), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 22:10 (twenty years ago)

Like Third Eye Blind's "Jumper"!

― miccio (miccio), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 22:11 (twenty years ago)

I think these kind of video treatments are desperately needed by anyone on Channel U.

― Dom Passantino (Dom Passantino), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 22:14 (twenty years ago)

"Prefer Caucasian"? Fuck a Stroke

I kinda don't have a problem with that. My guess is the video is supposed to arouse your hatred for the overprivileged elite, and it's a lot easier to do that using crackers.

― Lukas (lukas), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 22:42 (twenty years ago)

I stand by my previous assertion

― Morley Timmons (Donna Brown), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 22:56 (twenty years ago)

...cracker

― Morley Timmons (Donna Brown), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 22:56 (twenty years ago)

My guess is the video is supposed to arouse your hatred for the overprivileged elite

You know how the Strokes try to speak for the proletariat and all.

― miccio (miccio), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 23:06 (twenty years ago)

My treatment was documentary footage of Fab and Drew Barrymore rescuing homeless people from the floods with information about government expenditure scrolling across the screen, but they want their charity work to remain secret.

― miccio (miccio), Tuesday, 18 October 2005 23:08 (twenty years ago)

You know how the Strokes try to speak for the proletariat and all.

fer fuck's sake, you know the strokes stand for "this lifestyle of drugs+money is shallow and eeeevil, but we love it", it's the same bullshit every downtown band has been pulling for 30 years. the video prospectus fits square into that.
