Radiohead And Troll 2: A Mashup Made In Heaven

There are three things that Internet People love: Radiohead (or The Subject Thereof), Troll 2, and Mashups (still? yes, still.) So it's a FREAKING MIRACLE that this video realization of Thom Yorke's "inspiration" for "Fake Plastic Trees" has existed quietly on YouTube for five whole months with only a few hundred views. Until today:

They had me at the watering can. Seriously, do you know how few views that is? It's suspiciously few. It's the exact number of views that a blank screen tagged "radiohead" OR "troll 2" would get in five months. It's almost like there was some sort of Big Event going on during the past five months that distracted Internet People from what was truly important. (Via Fey Friends.)

How the hell did they manage to make Troll 2 look beautiful?

Also, Bobo, stop crying. America was not built on pussies.

all i care about is that they found a use for the greatest moment in film history: "They're eating her! They're gonna eat me next! OH MY GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD!"

My "Lucky" vid from Lollapalooza (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ilukyupc2D0) only has 217 views after 3 months. Does that mean I suck?

that almost manages to make troll 2 look less like the abomination of celluloid that it is, and more like the masterpiece that its delusional italian director imagined it was. but not quite.
