Vid Recs!

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World to "Teenage Dirtbag".

I actually haven't seen the movie, because some of the ads made me a little leery about a couple things, but I've now added it to my To Watch list based on this vid. Fun.

Hot Fuzz to "Blue Orchid".

SO. MUCH. AWESOME.

The Secret Garden to "Vintervalsen".

Oh, it gave me chills and then had me tearing up by the end. (Also, I would love any fic recs where they get to have a happy, wonderful threesome as teens or adults.)

Jurassic Park to "I Want More".

OMG MOST AWESOME VID EVER. I just *flailed* with joy while watching it. Also, I'm obviously due a trilogy marathon SOON.

Back to the Future to "Tik-Tok".

This is an awesome vid that captures all of the fun of the trilogy. Also, Sister K hates this song and so I laugh madly every time I listen to it. That's what it's like to be my sister, yo. I torment you with songs you hate and then laugh madly when I think about it.

Point Break to "Knockin' on Heaven's Door".

God, I love this movie SO MUCH and this vid captures all of it. The only reason I'm not fannishly involved in Point Break the way I am in the Fast and the Furious series (since Fast and the Furious is basically Point Break with cars instead of surfing) is that as fun as Lori Petty's character is, there isn't a Mia character for her to play off. Until I really started analyzing Mia and Letty as reflections of each other, I wasn't fannishly involved in Fast and the Furious, either. (And without Mia and Letty, I have little interest in the other movies, though as long as I a) refuse to believe Letty is dead and b) look at all of the movies as a connected story in which I can write about Mia and Letty even when they aren't appearing on screen, I can fannishly connect to the series as a whole. However, I just saw a one sheet for the fifth movie which completely leaves out Mia, too, and my interest waned significantly in that moment.) (Also, I really should be more fannishly involved in Point Break than Fast and the Furious considering how big a role Brian plays in the latter and how much I can't stand him. At least in Point Break, I'm a fan of both guys.)

Life After People to "End of the World".

I so need to watch Life After People the next time I visit J and his home theater. I think it will make me feel better about how much I hate people right now. Awesome vid.

Book of Eli to "O Death".

CHILLS I HAVE CHILLS.

Dead Like Me to "There is a Boy Who Never Goes Out".

Aww, Mason. I need to have a marathon of this show soon too. (Alas, I really dislike Daisy and so don't rewatch much.)

Dirty Dancing to "You Can't Sit Down".

Captures all of the fun of the movie.

Dirty Dancing to "You Are Everything".

The fact that it took this vid for me to realize how much I want the story of Baby/Penny/Johnny would be sad, except the vid is so very awesome.

Lilo and Stitch to "Beat Control".

FAVORITE MOVIE EVER. And this vid captures it so well, all the charm and heart ache and joy.

Primeval to "Don't Stop Movin'".

NO WORDS. JUST AWESOME.

Other Recs

Ana Lucia love thread at halfamoon. (Dude, halfamoon is one of my favorite times of the year.) My love for Ana Lucia was so great I quit watching Lost when they killed her and have not looked back since. I haven't even rewatched season one or season two. I should probably get rid of my season one set, for that matter. Ana Lucia Cortez, totally the best part of Lost. (Michelle Rodriguez, totally the best part of everything she's in, ever.)

First Edition of Potluck. "It is intended to be a carnival for multicultural and intersectional discussions of food, including but not limited to food discussions intersecting with disability, gender, sexuality, fat, animal rights, and cultural and racial issues. This is not to say that we have or will cover all of these intersections in a single carnival; Potluck is simply a room in which we can talk about them...."

Supernatural Art, Dean, work safe "Dosimetry". A pretty awesome look at the shapeshifter psychic link and Dean. In three panels, like A Softer World. Despite the fact I've broken up with Supernatural, this is awesome.

On "political correctness bullshit" in fandom and microaggressions.

So much this.

"Betty White's Nude Photos are Frankly Adorable.

She's so gorgeous.

Anti-Rec

Anti-rec of Trio of Sorcery by Mercedes Lackey for some really anti-transgender shit. I was so excited when I learned earlier today there was a new Diana Tregarde and then I read this. Fail, Lackey. Total fail.
