Short films have become a pretty standard propaganda tool in modern American presidential campaigns. When Al Gore set out to make his 2000 campaign film, there was only one guy he wanted for the job -- Spike Jonze.

That still from the movie makes Gore look like some sort of porn star whose head is about to explode. posted by benbrown at 12:12 PM on August 17, 2000
Does anyone know if this movie can be seen anywhere? Is there a URL for a downloadable version?
Hmm. A porn star, whose head is about to explode, decides to run for President. Now there's a Spike Jonze flick for which the script would write itself.
Maybe he is taking the piss out of Little Al after all. posted by chicobangs at 1:38 PM on August 17, 2000
Spike Jonze is doing Gore's film, but the puppets are outside the convention?? How did THAT happen? posted by wendell at 2:38 PM on August 17, 2000
Some people might argue that Spike Jonze, heir to a vast fortune, urban hipster and celebrity husband, is an ideal poster child for the modern Democratic Party. But they'd be awful cynics, wouldn't they? posted by holgate at 2:43 PM on August 17, 2000
