This fulfills my long-time dream of wanting to watch the two guys from Daft Punk - actually, it's not them (they use stand-ins!) - walk around a desert for an hour. Actually, I'm being inconsiderate: there's a sequence towards the beginning (in an idyllic neighborhood where everyone has robotic heads) in which the boys have fake human faces slapped on top of their robotic ones (regrettably, they melt). But after that little episode it gets right back to the juicy stuff: walking. Walking this way, walking that way. After getting bored with walking, they decide self-destruct. Who knew Gus Van Sant's Gerry could influence the guys who made "Homework?" Who knew that the guys who made "Homework" would fail to follow their own advice and work it harder and make it better?
