Remix: ‘All the President’s Men’ vs. the Beastie Boys’ ‘Sabotage’
“I can’t stand it, I know you planned it, I’m gonna set it straight, this Watergate,” begins the Beastie Boys’ “Sabotage.” All the President’s Boys is one of those perfect remixes that works so well, you can’t believe you didn’t think of it first. Editor Jeff Yorkes “cinemashup” of footage from All the President’s Men nails it.
I’m completely agreed on what The Atlantic’s saying here. The best examples of transformative media are the ones where I sit back and think, “Oh, obviously,” and can just enjoy. “All the President’s Boys” is just cool.
