I GET UP, YEAH BABE, AND NOTHING GETS ME DOWN: This eight-and-a-half minute video of
a guy running around and jumping over, on, through, into, out of, up, and down stuff is unbelievable. In a lot of ways, it's a great self-contained short film. The background -- presumably some part of Russia, given the cyrillic title shots -- is bleak and hardscrabble; the action is thrilling and bouyant, and, frankly, probably the most amazing amateur thing I've ever seen. So two thoughts: first, how is that guy not just broken right now; and second, isn't this the movie that Patrick Dempsey's
Run should have been?
