sisabetSo I just realized that three of the vids I was considering as replacements were all in the comedy show last year and man o man. It just ain't funny unless it is meta-funny.
I need a moment.
Someone suggested Lionel/Lex as a mindfuck pairing and here is where I have to admit my total Smallville ignorance: I've only seen one L/L vid, and it did not work for me due to sloppy editing. And I am hard-pressed to think of any truly meta looks at SV beyond "A Morality Tale" but again - I have not seen that many SV vids. Also - "A Morality Tale" was in the comedy show last year - right?? Or was it in Nearly New? Wait - there was the Lex vid to "I Can Change" in the Comedy Show - was AMT also there? A Hero's Tale was in it and that works on many a meta level for me, but I wanted another Lum vid more.
In other news, I am currently listening to my new mix from![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
heres_luck: The Exuberance Mix: Indie Pop with a Post-Disco Coda - I think that is the title. I'm bad with words and letters and remembering the order of things so bear with me. I can never spell certain words - like convience - wait that is not right - convinience - nope not right again. Okay - 10,000 Pyramid Rules Apply: "The word I can not spell wants to make things easy for you - it is a kind of store. 7/11 is a ____ store. I only want a boyfriend when it is a ______. If I was to marry a dude just to combine farmland and it was a total business arrangement, that would be a marriage of ______ "
Bingo. I cannot spell that word. I have like a block.tzikeh figured out why I could not spell Orinoco last night and now I think I can spell it. I suspect the reason I cannot spell the other word is probably "i before e" related. Also the "n" fucks me up all the time.
What was I saying? Oh yes - the new mix. Man - I have been listening to it for like 24 hours and already I am on repeat and obsessed with one song. This is probably a record. And just cause I know h.l. likes to know these kinds of things - it is "Baby" by Imperial Teen. I don't know - something about the song really appeals to me. It makes me think of High School and watching football games -only really sophisticated. And so I started thinking about what I could vid it to - natch. And I was all wondering if it would work as a Nicole vid for "Popular" with Mary Cherry accents cause I love her, and Popular comes out on DVD in October and then I decided it would not work for Freaks and Geeks, although - really - to be fair - I should probably *watch* Freaks and Geeks before I totally dismiss it. But I don't think it is slick enough. Neither is My So Called Life.
So I was getting nowhere, wondering what this song was about, but I was all wanting to have pom-poms somewhere in the vid - and not willing, thusly to give up the idea of high school as a setting. 90210 is out cause, just no. Not vidding that. BtVS doesn't want to be this vid, although it *could* work. I could make it fit although that would be a tight squeeze. And I know the reason I want pom-poms is cause of the "whoo"s in the song - but dude. That woo needs at least one pom -y'know? Also - the more I listen to the song while driving, the closer I come to wrecking my car cause I have to do a shoulder dip at the "whoo."
Naturally, by this point, I am actively considering a Torrance/Missy "Bring It On" vid and really, I need to call an end to the insanity.
Then I realized that Baby is Lana Lang. This is a Clark/Lana/Lex vid. And now I am happy cause I was really worried there for a minute that I'd have to vid Kirsten Dunst. This makes up for the SV fic I was reading the other day - it was really long and kinda flat (not poorly written, just flat), but I was excited cause I thought the author was dropping hints that Lex was a robot and really - I have this total thing for man-bots and androids that I like to blame on "Bionic Woman" (cause she battled them, yo) and then it turned out that no one was a robot - it was just me inferring it from the roboto-y foreshadowing that apparently did not exist. I was disappointed. I mean - how can you tell a story that has a total *need* for a Robotic Lex Luthor and just not go there? I ask you, how?
