This weekend talk of The Smashing Pumpkins' lackluster EP American Gothic inspired a SP good-ole-days binge. The event has been documented on my newly created graffiti wall with the epitaph, "1/11/08. We hath listened to The Smashing Pumpkins, and we hath enjoyed them. Why oh why dost thou sucketh now?" To further commemorate what is all too clearly another nail in the Pumpkins' coffin, I am posting the eye-popping video for Mellon Collie single "Tonight, Tonight." I can remember watching this video and thinking, WOW. What a beautiful song. What a beautiful video.
After the jump I've posted Georges Melies' silent film A Trip to the Moon, which is widely considered to be the first science fiction film, and was the inspiration for the Pumpkins' video. Warning: the crew takes a good three minutes to build/launch the spaceship, but after that, it gets a heck of a lot more interesting. That moon at the 4:14-mark is absolutely stunning. Can someone make me a T-shirt with that image on it?
