doesn't work - i installed the aol player plugin in internet explorer, and it played the advert, but nothing after.


i'm sick and tired of these proprietary streaming video plugins

what the fuck is up with them?

You need to get the "Ampx plugin from AOL Inc." according to my browser. Ah -- O9scar, thanks, that worked much better.

For those who can't see it, and in vain hopes to actually begin a thread, it's a Chemical Brothers video concocted from a samurai-era chopsocky film, with CGI for lipsynching and anachronistic elements, after the fashion of What's Up, Tiger Lily? Pretty good.

This was awesome. Thanks to Peeg for linking to it, and thanks even more to O9scar for finding a version I would actually watch.

Apologies. I didn't need to download anything, probably because I have Winamp.

yeah, you can access this through the winamp media library as well. First saw it there a year or two ago, instant classic for sure.

Wow, the CGI was scary good. Aside from being inherently less annoying, it's light years beyond that Quizno's brat.

Weird, I have Winamp. Still doesn't work in FF1.04.
