Vid Idea Close Out! Everything Must Go! Prices Are Slashed (heh) to Nothing!

[sisabet]

tzikeh: who sings "The Song of the Itinerant Bible Salesman" that you put on my mix? I can't remember and I am at work and you know what? That song is about John Crichton.

I don't want to vid John right now. So of course I find a song for him. I found a Gilmore Girls song last night about how Logan is Rory's Christopher and how this Is Not A Good Thing. I have a new Lex song that is eating me alive.

And I don't want to either vid or have no source for any of these ideas right at the moment.

I'd like to start my Deadwood vid. I'd like to make an Aeryn vid. I'd like to finally vid "Ask DNA" to Connor. I've got stuff to say about Gunn.

I want control of my brain.

So the only answer is that other people need to make these vids for me. Yes - yes this will work. kitkatbyte if you don't adore and worship Akus' "The Lucky One" let me know cause it must be made.

Anyone want a John Crichton vid outline? Any one? Going fast - vid ideas free - come one come all!

The Lex vid... no, I need to make that. It is a logical progression from where I was emotionally in "Without You I'm Nothing" so I can wait on it. Also, I am really proud I found this song. I found it by accident. So yeah - gonna wait on that one. Keeping it.

Oh and btw - the Big Band Spiderman theme song that I was soooo stoked about and kinda even considering vidding to "Spiderman" (which would just be too much of a gimmee, ya know?) - well it is about Xander. And I have to make it. So I can't give that one away.

But other than that - it is a Liz-Idea Closeout! We got big vids, we got small vids - come and get it!

That is sung by Nickeltown, which is not to be confused with Nickelback.

And huh! I never thought of it as John, but I do believe you're right!

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah - it works for John. If you squint and look sideways it is like the song was *made* for him.

[pipsqueaky.livejournal.com]

If I had Farscape source, I would SO sign up for the John Crichton vidbunny. Although come to think of it, I already have at least 5 Crichton songs, so maybe adding a sixth is not the best idea.

Crichton is an Itinerant Bible Salesman? I must see this vid.

I hope you find people to buy all your Liz-Ideas for sale, because I really really want to see all the other stuff that is percolating in your brain (Deadwood and Aeryn and Connor and Gunn). Do Aeryn first. :)

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

Well I also have "Spike is an Itinerant Preacher and Seller of Fireworks" vid in line in my head and at some point I need to take a step back and wonder what it is about me that I see all of these characters as somehow being closely related to penniless wanna-be prophets.

A spiritual journey, where faith is tested and either survives or languishes... yeah - I love that kinda stuff.

What vid? Do I know about this Lex vid? Or is this new?

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

Totally new. In fact - I might have to sacrifice this vid at the altar of my Deadwood vid - it is just that good and worthy.

Hopefully it will end up being just an Abraham/Isaac fakeout.

[piper47.livejournal.com]

Care to share what the idea is or is it top seccret? ;)

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

No secret - just don't expect me to vid this right away or even... just don't expect this vid for awhile cause the Vidding Gods might demand a sacrifice and it would have to be a *worthy* sacrifice and so I would have to give them this:

The song is by The Cooper Temple Clause and it is very interesting if sonically hard to listen to in portions (but that works for Lex's state of mind as well).

Talking to a Brick Wall


I'm not quite how I should be
been finding tricks too hard

I'm thinking something must be broken
Coz it's wasn't like this before

Now everyone is ugly and everyone is stoned
Small things about you excite me
But then I'd hate to spoil the tone


All my little somethings just ran out of luck
Secret dates with strangers
Dirty words and fighting talk
I'm so scared it's killed me
Time and time again
I can't live with compromise
So maybe we could talk as friends?
If at first you dont succeed try again for me

Today is going to be fine
tomorrow will be fine too

I asked for things to better me
Even though they silenced my soul

I can taste is just for a second and then it disappears

The flowers look like glitter but then so do you my dear


It's in the way that you look
It's in the books that won't read
It comes and goes like a friend
It's with me right til the end
It's in the memories I've lost
It's concentrating too much
It's breaking down of relations
And it's the beat of the clock
It's not being able to be explain
Or get your feelings across
It's in the pain that won't leave you
It's coming straight back for us
It's in a new lease of life
And a search that ends well
It's in finding that change
It's being happy again

Wow...

Now I want to hear that, but probably shouldn't. Not until you start vidding it... otherwise I'm going to want it sooner.

I'll be patient though.

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

Yeah - I don't think you want to hear it any time soon cause there will be a looooong wait for this vid to ever exist. A looooonng wait.

And you might take it personally if "Waltz Across Texas, Tonight" requires a blood sacrifice.

[piper47.livejournal.com]

Yes I'm sure I would.

Seeing as I'm still bitter about "All Your Might" and I wasn't even emotionally involved in that. I could see a lot of emotion in this one you've got now and it'd be a good long wait... and I really don't like hearing about sacrifices and...

Yes... it is better for me to cut ties with it now before things get worse. ;)

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

All Your Might is just on Hiatus. It'll be finished. Someday.

But yeah - don't get attached to this vid idea. It could get ugly. I have a feeling the DW vid is going to kill me.

[piper47.livejournal.com]

I have a feeling the DW vid is going to kill me.

I surely hope not.

Should we be casting voodoo spells to ensure that this vid is successfully done and does not bring upon your demise? I could light incents and burn candles and chant... yes chant. And we could sacrifice a virgin.

Eh... maybe I'm getting a bit carried away. ;)

[f1renze.livejournal.com]

Do you think I would like Deadwood? It's sitting nicely On Demand...

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

I adore Deadwood - but I love Westerns.

DW, actually, is very different from your typical Western - but everyone is kinda dusty all the time and the language is (as it should be) quite blue... but there are rich characters and story arcs that pay off and Seth and Sol have the potential to touch your soul...so try it out. Yeah. Deadwood.

::sigh::

See...I have all these surplus fic ideas

[rabid1st.livejournal.com]

...maybe we can work out some kind of trade. Seriously, you need to vid Crichton...because I am in love with your last one and I need more Sis vids with Crichton.

In 1999 a French exchange student in Birmingham whom I visited for a weekend was telling me about how her best friend's father insisted that Nicholas Brendon was the perfect casting choice for Peter Parker in the then-upcoming Spider-Man movie. So I won't argue that song/subject choice at all.

For the past two days, I have gotten bored late afternoon and looked around for my Sisabet fix, and it was not there. It was like you had a job or a life or some reason your life didn't revolve around amusing me. It was extremely disconcerting.

Thank God the nightmare is over.

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

I'm working out a compromise on how to continue working and also post and renenet is in charge of it all.

I think the key is in smaller posts or preserving longer posts in chunks until ready to go. Something like that.

[linzeestyle.livejournal.com]

OH! You must vid Lex. I don't even know what your idea is, but you must do it. If you vid Lex, I will...umm...collage something for you. Or do a little tapdance. Or stand on my head. Or watch I-Man. One of those. Yes.

Linzee

[piper47.livejournal.com]

Offer to collage her I-Man... she likes things that are pretty and shiney. ;)

[linzeestyle.livejournal.com]

I would, but there are no pictures of I-Man like, anywhere. I tried for her birthday, then gave up and went with Angel. *g*

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

Mmmmm, Angel.

I have been thinking about it a lot. I need to find out more about Christopher first (is he really "the lucky one"? Everyone in the fandom is apparently sorry for him all the time.) But I do have access to decent source so it's just a matter of fitting GG and vidding into my schedule..

[sisabet.livejournal.com]

Yeah - see my disgust over Christopher is completely my own and not related to any fannish thing (I know nothing about GG fandom).

I think Christopher is weak. I think he has a consistent pattern of doing what people told him - of only doing what he has to do to get by -- and always flaking/bailing on the important things.

IE - he gets a ton of credit because he was going to marry Lorelei when she got pregnant - but that reaction was not the brave reaction, that was the *expected* reaction.

Lorelei - she did the brave thing -- she didn't cave to pressure by entering a marriage she was not ready for and when her parent's proved too stifling she took her child and *left* -- she left so she could raise her daughter the way she deserved to be raised. That was incredibly scary and brave.

Christopher - he drifts in and out of Rory's life as a cherished and yet distant figure of fun and love and whoo hoo! Dad's here! But he NEVER does the hard stuff -- he does not PARENT her or share in the responsibility with Lorelei. And Lorelei is incredibly understanding of this (and I think part of this is because she is the one who made the choice, not Christopher, to turn her back on that kind of life). But from the time he shows up to visit up and until he leaves Lorelei to marry Gigi's mother --- He Never Impresses Me.

I feel he gets away with SOOO much and yeah - he is the lucky one -- nothing really sticks to him, and the fact that everyone in the fandom is sorry for him? Perfect. That is the lucky one Loved by many, hated by none - I'd say you're lucky 'cause I know what you've done -- abandoned his daughter multiple times, never coming thru for Lorelei and not being emotionally available for his wife, and not being able to cope with his daughter -- he automatically calls Lorelei.

I have Christopher Issues. That Bastard.

::cuddles Luke::

Luke is the AntiLucky One.

[kitkatbyte.livejournal.com]

OMG. Yes! That is the lucky one Loved by many, hated by none - I'd say you're lucky 'cause I know what you've done

So perfect. I kinda was thinking that but again, I have no visuals since I only know pieces of the show. This is interesting... people feel sorry for him, but I can bring this side of it out. :D!!
