The Viewfinder: A Bunch of Kids Re-Enact the Beastie Boys “Sabotage” Video
Trust me, you need this in your day. In tribute to the late Adam Yauch, a filmmaker by the name of James Winters got his kids and nephew to re-enact the Beastie Boys’ classic 1994 video “Sabotage.” Complete with fake mustaches, even worse wigs than the Beasties wore in the original video, and some pretty decent effects, this will be the best 4-minute rabbit hole you’ll fall down all week.
