Don't let the pic put you off if you haven't seen it. Watch the video link all the way through and let me know what you think.
Any other Rubber Johnny fan out there?
Mega old Video - If you like that you should check out the other Chris Cuningham videos "Window licker" "come to daddy"
More so than the video - I myself am a HUGE "RDJ/Aphex Twin/AFX/Richard James" (the many names of the guy who makes the music) fan.
Yes indeed it is an oldie but that's not the point
Glad to see another fan of his work! The milkman song cracks me up he he
"I would like some milk from the milkman's wife's tits!"
Neato, does this mean there are some Autechre fans here?
They are in the same genre (intelligent &/or abstract techno_eep_op).
(I'd be surprised if one person said yah.)
I dont get it? It totally creeps me out!! Whats the point?
Well, SOMEBODY wasn't a raver!Quote:

Although I do appreciate a very limited amount of jazzy D&B, I do not like much drum and bass, especially th@ spacedout stuff.Quote:

That's very odd.
Uh, if you partied like I partied (no people - not like it's fricken 1999), then you too would have seen plenty of JohnnyRubbers, on the dance.Quote:

Yup - I have a Mouse On Mars EP/discs, as well some 12's from Boards of Canada & Massive Attack <-- :thumbsup:
That is what I am told, quite often, however, I've never been a fan of them or punk.Quote:

"The idea evolved to the present film, in which Johnny (played by Cunningham) is an isolated mutant child with a huge overgrown cranium, strapped into a wheelchair and locked in a basement. Capable of morphing his body, he spends his life trying to amuse himself and his dog, a terrified chihuahua."
"The film starts out with a doctor trying to communicate with Johnny. Johnny seems rather unfocused, and answers "no" to every question. He then starts repeating something which sounds like "mama", to which the doctor asks whether he wants to see his mother. Johnny becomes nervous and violent and the doctor has to calm him down with a sedative injection."
"At this point the actual music video begins. After the introduction of a blinking neon light, a rat climbing over a text decal of "WARP FILMS [...] PRESENT", we see reversed footage of a condom with "Rubber Johnny" written on it being pulled off of a penis shaped balloon, or perhaps some sort of dildo. We then see the dog eating food from his dish and watching Johnny lying in his wheelchair with his huge head hanging out, moaning the word "Aphex". As soon as the music kicks in, Johnny starts to "dance" in his wheelchair, acting and morphing to the beat of the music, observed by the seemingly discomfited dog. At one scene he appears to insufflate a line of a white powder (presumably cocaine, although James has hinted it as being 'a ridiculous amount of methedrine'). The video is interrupted twice by someone (apparently the father of Johnny, according to the credits) opening the basement door and throwing various insults at Johnny. Although during both interruptions he is rather calm, the second time he's lying almost lifeless in his wheelchair, as he was in the beginning of the film. The second part of the video contains scenes of Johnny's face, hand, and foot rapidly hurtling towards the direction of the camera lens, but collides with by what appears to be a glass plate, and after each contact, leaving behind bits of his face, of which seems to have taken on a viscous consistency"
ha ha ha
damn good description! but still doesn't accurately the experience of watching the video late night with friends lol
