Have You Seen This Couple: Justin Timberlake "Not A Bad Thing" (Dennis, Liu, dir.)

The new Justin Timberlake music video isn't really a music video. And it isn't quite a documentary as much as it's the start of a social stunt with a real world component.

The story starts on January 12 when a mystery couple got engaged on the Long Island Railroad with a Justin Timberlake song as the soundtrack (played on a Beats Pill, of course). And now the search is on for this couple, with a hashtag — #haveyouseenthiscouple — posters, appearances and this video, which also features lots of interviews with families and couples about the mysterious ways of love. Know the couple? You email [email protected], or even call a tipline.

Is this couple truly out there? Is it all just a stunt? Do they exist? Am I cynic? Does it matter?

Johnny Cash "She Used To Love Me A Lot" (John Hillcoat, dir.)

Nickajack Cave holds a special place in Johnny Cash lore. It's where he went, in 1967, with a plan to die. Instead, he had a spiritual awakening, walking out with faith in a higher power and a resolve to get clean.  Fittingly, Nickajack Cave is where director John Hillocoat begins and ends his video for the "found" Johnny Cash track "She Used To Love Me A Lot," off Out Among the Stars, a collection of previously unheard recordings by the music legend.

John Hillcoat, director: 'She Used to Love Me A Lot' contains all the hallmark brilliance of Cash. The honest simplicity and deep conviction of his delivery shines through. The lyrics seemed to speak to America as it is now, to the nation that loved him and to the great divide he fought so hard against. This divide has only grown exponentially since he died, so we wanted to show America under this stark light and as a homage to the very reason Cash always wore black: to the shameful increase of the disenfranchised and outsiders. At the same time, we wanted to reference the great man's own struggle and journey from the love of his life to the burnt out ruins of his infamous lake house home, personal photographs, the cave where he tried to take his life but then turned it all around, the place he last recorded in and his last photo before his passing."
