 Director Mark Romanek (qv) almost walked away from the production  of "El Scorcho". His treatment was rejected by Rivers Cuomo (qv)  in favor of one by Spike Jonze (qv). Further problems arose when  Cuomo demanded more screen time than the rest of the band, almost  leading to Weezer breaking up. But Romanek decided to stick with it,  although he states the video is "not what he intended".
