Apparently Justin Timberlake released the extended director's super megamix video for "What Goes Around..." on iTunes and lots of people bought it. 50,000 during the first four days, at $2 a pop. Despite the fact that you can see it on YouTube.
Who are these people? If you're getting the video for Scarlett Johansson, here's a hint: go rent Match Point. It's a good film on its own merits, and has Scarlett making out in a rainy field. If you just enjoy the elusive "longform music video" format, well, more power to you.
As far as dramatic videos go though, nothing will ever touch Guns 'n' Roses' "November Rain" for me. Axl doing his best Elton John on the piano with an orchestra at his back? Slash going out into that empty field outside the church for a guitar solo?

Gives me chills every time.
