Allow me to geek out for a moment.

I know, I'm horrible about keeping this up to date. Sue me.

I really have no reason for posting this other than I watched it, thought it kicked ass and wanted to share it: A music video for U2's "Hold Me, Thrill Me, Kiss Me, Kill Me" (already one of my favorites by them) set to scenes from Shahrukh Khan's revamp of the 1978 film Don. As the Beastie Boys said, ch-ch-check it out.



First of all, this is just friggin' sweet in its own right. In fact I'd say it does a better job of selling the movie than the actual theatrical trailers. But what's even cooler to me is that was done by YouTuber 'lallilly84,' a twenty-four year old woman living in Germany who's a big SRK fan herself.

Earlier today, I read some remark from a jackass on Ain't It Cool News asking if anyone even watched Bollywood -- "who do they think their target demographic is?" Well, besides one-sixth of the world's population right off the bat, here you've got a guy in Wisconsin commenting on a video made by a woman in Germany enamored with one of Bollywood's biggest stars. So yeah, I think you can safely say they've got a global market. Nice to have some real affirmation that this champ has his head firmly up his ass.


Edit, 8/27/08: God I hate YouTube sometimes. Updated with fixed links. Now watch Shahrukh and Aishwarya Rai tear it up to some Elvis. I have both these on my iPod now so I can watch them whenever. Yep. I'm that big a nerd for this stuff.
