'Sup, pogs!
Let's all go to the movies, and let's all see the same movie, and let's discuss it here.
Gabe loves fan fiction. You Can Make It Up features his own personal alternate adventures starring some of our favorite characters.
After watching Death Sentence, a terrible movie starring Kevin Bacon as a father in search of vigilante justice directed by Saw's James Wan, Gabe embarked on The Hunt For The Worst Movie of All Time. This is his sad journey.
Can I make a joke about how I saw all the garbage, but not as much as I HEARD all the garbage?
If lyrics and sound could be turned into garbage, we’d be needing a bigger Wall-E to clean it all up.
I really don’t get it Muse. Are you really upset that I like you? All the times I walked along the beach listening to “Stockholm Syndrome” in the moonlight…did they mean nothing to you!? Everything you’re doing is killing me! Stop doing everything and just start again. Square one. This is poo. We’re breaking up.
Okay, I’m a little hungover, and I just woke up. That didn’t make any sense. To clarify: GIJYUN is right, song is shit. Video is also shit. Bring back old Muse that rules. I’m going back to sleep.
You woke up from a 3 minute nap, hung over?
I definately don’t want to be whatever you were on.
Pubic lice.
I wish I could give you 1,000 upvotes.

Isn’t that the girl from the commercial where she practices her crunk moves in the mirror, and then takes them to the streetz where everyone cheers her on. I’m totally blanking on what the commercial is for but sometimes it’s just her, and sometimes it’s a montage.
Found it! It’s for that Blackberry commercial with the awful Beatles cover:

This girl is blowing up!
And by blowing up, obviously I mean being featured in videos with terrible music, obviously.
you missed a piece.
I think the director of this clip did a great job of putting my opinion of the song into pictures.
This means Muse is advanced right. Today is Klosterman day for me, apparently.
Punctuation failure!
I don’t care what the monitor reads, the dude just said “Your beauty’s not a mosque.” Let’s hope this video doesn’t get around or we might have major riots in the middle east.
I don’t get it, I didn’t see Shirley Manson once…
I was waiting for a Shirley Manson cameo, too, because I am old.

Someone here has a serious loose cord hoarding problem.
also, I don’t think he really needs that double microphone
I remember the days when I liked Muse.
Seriously, did Matt Bellamy just do massive amounts of cocaine once Absolution was done recording, or give himself some form of brain damage?
I think he developed a Queen addiction.
Not to go all stereogum here, but I was willing to forgive them for Blackholes and Revalations because a) all bands get to have a political album (I’m looking at you, Travis and Radiohead) (Though Thirteen Memories is pretty good) and b) it did have a song about using light speed to get away from a bad relationship. But this? THIS? They are totally no longer my boyfriend, and there will be no making up until they go back to Absolution.
Unless it’s dancing around on roller skates singing about Xanadu, I don’t give two shits about no Muse.
Glen Beck’s favorite band.
Again I love you monsters, because I’ve been asking “what the hell happened to them?” Ever since that song that sounded like Atlas and Blondie…you know the one.
I just don’t get all the praise about this band. Most of their songs are like a not-as-good Radiohead. I would rather listen to the original Radiohead.
1. Where is “all the praise”? Scrolling down the page I didn’t see one positive comment about the band.
2. They are nothing like Radiohead, other than the vocal similarities. Radiohead is for artsy-smartypants, Muse is big melodramatic arena rock.
3. (Open question) What is up everyone’s butt? This is a great song, it’s catchy and dark and slinks along with sweet synths and a skittering R&B rhythm. Muse are one of the last bastions of solid alternative music left. Would y’all rather listen to awful drivel like Black Eyed Peas, Sean Kingston, or Asher Roth? Or the bland, flavourless pap that is Volcano Choir (and/or Bon Iver), Grizzly Bear, and Dirty Projectors?
Addendum: I know I come off as angry and crass, but as I’ve mentioned before, I live in Toronto, Canada, and everyday I am drowning in a sea of hipsters who bash bands I like. So, I end up being in the minority here by enjoying alternative rock, and they’re the popular kids because they all follow Pitchfork trends. And they do it so blindly too. Like, EVERYONE loves Major Lazer. But if you even remotely enjoy something like Rise Against…BOO! Scorn!
No, really, have you heard The Resistance?
I could however feel your plight as I live in Los Angeles where there are more hipsters than cockroaches.

i’m pretty sure you’re in the majority along with everyone’s parents.
don’t drag toronto down with you.

I couldn’t down vote your comment harder if Randy “Macho Man” Savage was my index finger.
“Alternative rock” is a bs term made up by record labels in the 90s to market every bland new band as the next Nirvana or Radiohead. Like Muse. I can understand why you might find Grizzly Bear or Dirty Projectors to be boring, but the idea that a band like Muse is keeping alive some sort of cool punk rock attitude kind of boggles my mind. There are plenty of cool, not-vanilla rock bands out there. Muse is not really one of them.
Well, to be fair, when I started listening to Muse it was *because* they sounded like Radiohead, and I was tired of waiting for the next OK Computer. But that is because I am old, and have been listening to music since the last century. These days I don’t know why anyone uses that comparison anymore unless it’s something like “These guys used to sound like Radiohead, back when Radiohead sounded like Radiohead.”
Also, those lyrics!! Talk about garbage, amiright
Dear Muse,
Stop it, stop it now.
Put down the Depeche Mode synths and the Queen-like stadium rock prospects and stop breaking my heart.

Well, Muse did already make the Greatest Video of All Time (Knights of Cydonia), so I guess they decided to balance it out (zen!) with what amounts to a sort of Haneke-inspired shot-for-shot remake of a mediocre video from 1982 (except in this case their new video is both the remake and the original. Which is not a help. One hand clapping? Something).
The worst thing about Muse is that it gets us monsters talking about music when we should really be talking about cats and how much Jeff Dunham sucks.
At least we’re attempting discussion, which is the opposite of the most recent comment on that video from MySpace user AffRon: “gay like your dads hole”
It hurts to see what Muse has become. Meaning, the garbage.
I spotted one piece of non-garbage — the shoe-amp.
Actually, wait a minute, that’s garbage too. We’re going to need a bigger landfill.
Muse looks like they borrowed from Powerman 5000′s wardrobe.
