Is it a music video, or...wait a minute...isn't that just the trailer? - The Barrow-Downs Discussion Forum

<A HREF="http://www.theonering.net/perl/newsview/1/1039455245" TARGET=_blank>Gollum's Song Music Video</A>...But wait, I hear you ask, isn't that just the trailer with the song laced onto it, with only 5 or so actual seconds of Gollum? Yes. But, I hear you tentatively enquire, isn't that a little pointless, especially as the battle scene is on the tragic bit? Yes.

It's been a long time since music videos have been anything but advertisements for albums and movies. I don't see why you should hold them to a higher standard then a Coke commercial.H.C.

I stopped watching music videos after I grew out of Sesame Street. You can't count how long that is on both hands.

I agree with your opinions on music videos (though some, by more creative singers, can be quite good), but Sesame Street? Next we'll be ripping Loony Tunes!

Music videos may be bad in general, but have you ever seen one from...oh, say Guatamala? Those things are great! You can't understand a word they're saying, but hey .
