With some brilliant directorial works from Michel Gondry, Spike Jonze, and Chris Cunningham. It’s fucking unreal how good we had it in the 90s.

Alton Brown (yes the cooking guy) directed REM's "The One I Love"

I didn’t know that! That’s the one with the firework overlays throughout the video, right?

I was surprised by this too. It looks like he was the director of photography, not the director. Robert Longo directed the video, and he directed the film Johnny Mnemonic.

But it's still pretty cool that Alton was the DP on that video.

Thanks a lot for that. Those are all really cool and this is a wonderful trip down memory lane

No problem. I still have the Directors Series DVD boxed set from these three. It was a great medium for creativity and some directors really took it to a new level. I really wish it still existed.
