they're taking the hobbits to isengard! to isengard! to isengard!

I don't spend a lot of time on youtube, but I see a few things.  Including this.  It's human tetris, but not the hilarious Japanese game show.  Instead this is a stop motion art project simply representing the video game.  As you're watching it, take a second to consider how much work this must have been--painstakingly moving each person to the next exact position.  Some people might ask what it's good for.

It's not like this art will inspire revolution or social change--it's hardly a commentary on the idea of video games (though I think it does have some things to say about how we view the digital world).  It's not really beautiful in a strict sense. 

But it is one thing: awesome.  Pure, unadulterated, home style, organically farmed awesome.  Go watch it again.  It's absolutely brilliant for no reason other than what it is.  

I don't like it when people question the point of art.  While subtext is vital to any artistic work, many things don't need a point or a movement.  They're just fantastic.  Spice of life, right there.    

This video really illustrates my point.  It's pretty stupid, I know.  But watch it tomorrow morning and then just try to have a bad day.
