Beastie Boys (Don't play no game i can't win)

The Beastie Boys have reunited with acclaimed film and music video director Spike Jonze for “Don’t Play No Game That I Can’t Win,” another future classic reminiscent of 1994′s “Sabotage” despite not actually featuring the Boys themselves. Both the group and special guest Santigold are portrayed by action figures, and spend their time being chased by a terrorist like group that won’t sleep until the group has ceased performing forever. (Because they don’t like goofy party music?) Most interesting is the lack of emphasis on the Hot Sauce Committee Part 2 track itself, which moves from being faint background noise to utterly nonexistent at times throughout the 11-minute clip. (There’s a shorter version if you don’t have the attention span.) Yes, it’s all about the action—and the violence—between the boys and their hunters. Just because they are made of plastic, doesn’t mean they don’t bleed (they’re dolls, not aliens.)
