I've already watched it about 10 times. I love it.
**** that noise. rivers is playing his fans like fools. the last two weezer albums have been almost inconceivably awful. and yet his recently released solo tapes are mostly great. he's just using weezer to pay for his wife and child. he's not even trying anymore. compare: beverly hills to pink triangle. a) retarded awful successful pop song. b) insanely clever not so successful pop song.
coincidence? i think not.

Wow, you subscribed to the widely accepted and inevitably idiotic idea that Weezer have somehow declined in form. I applaud your cool and one day maybe I can be as cool. Maybe I can even add that element of "They're not making music I like, so I have to overcompensate by saying everything since has been utter shit.", maybe. Because obviously, that's so smart.
Weezer have done nothing but remain a consistently great rock band who possess one of the single most gifted songwriters in the entire world in Rivers Cuomo.
The people who agree that Weezer have gone downhill are matched in sheer foolish idiocy only by those who feel the same about Radiohead. As much as it annoys me to see such rabidly misinformed opinions accepted as fact because they are repeated enough, I am glad, because the thought of sharing tastes with people like you kind of makes me want to vomit. The delusional sense of entitlement you feel you have is the only retarded thing here.
So Weezer have stopped making music you like, whoopty doo. Cry one and get over it. You just sound bitter that Weezer have gone in a direction that has left you behind, not unlike the people who said the same about Kid A by Radiohead. That's your problem, not mine, not Weezer's. They make music they enjoy, like any band should, and it will either appeal to people or it won't. I've never been disappointed with Weezer, you obviously have. Stop assuming this is factually down to something being wrong with Weezer or their fans and just accept the fact that you dislike the music they're currently making.
