I like girls who fart too!

This tall, skinny, big nosed French man has become a big influence on my own work in the last year that I get cranky every time he out does himself with a new music video.

This DVDography makes you jump in your seat when you discover he is the director of certain works you enjoyed many years ago.

Who knew he is the most awarded commercials and video director of all time? Check the smirnoff ad pre Matrix 'bullet time' days.

Besides, I like him cause he puts 'girlfriends' into 3 catergories; ones that hate farting, ones that don't mind farting and ones that fart back at you!

Come on Michael Jackson let Mr Gondry direct your last music video.. He is French you know!
