Kanye West Is Just A Broken Down Piece Of Meat
We Were Once a Fairytale, the strange short film that Kanye West made with Spike Jonze, is finally here! For the most part, it depicts a typical night in the life of Kanye West: a boorish, blurry, endless evening in an anonymous night club. "This is my song! I made all the notes!" It's basically his The Wrestler. His entire life has led up to this one perfect role.
Supposedly, the shoot began as a music video shoot, but then I guess they got too much great footage of Kanye seeming really drunk and belligerent so they decided to turn it into a short film. Cue puppet magic! (That would also explain why the audio is kind of terrible on this thing.) Anyway, it's after the jump and it is mildly NSFW:
Art!
(Thanks for the tip, Ana.)

I realized about two minutes in that I actually stopped breathing while watching the beginning because it was that uncomfortable. There should really be some sort of warning--one creature already had to die for the making of this thing.

Everything moves fast fast fast these days...In my mind this was the year music caught up with the breakthrow movies Jonze did with Kaufman of a few year back...In other words Merriweather and Bitte Orca are the edge now even without the help of the best visual artists money can buy...

I was reading Roger Ebert's review of Where the Wild Things Are the other day and he wondered how the Wild Things procreate.
I think Spike Jonze just gave us the answer.

Ok, so let me get this straight...Kanye West is an alcoholic sofa fetishist who gave himself a C-Section with a prop from the Prince Of Persia movie set and then birthed a cat-shaped hairball which he then cut the imbilical cord to and forced to commit suicide with a plastic sword from a Jack Sparrow action figure...Did Richard Heene make them do this for the show??
