Since Mr. Jackson, undoubtedly one of the major musical and entertainment talents, tried to win an academy award with this video, that it should be treated as a movie, not a video. Star Wars, an excellent film, got boring after the first six times, but at least it didn't take up 15 minutes of my precious MTV time... Also, I can't seem to take a person who I watched on Saturday morning cartoons in my youth seriously as a musician. The whole bit about flying around the world to give concerts in a cartoon airplane is a bit too much to swallow. Marc Salomon
