Y'all know about Lum's new Angel vid, right? For her ats_endofdays entry?? Cause if not, I feel sorry for you.

Go - Download - watch. Then feedback cause it is nice.

http://www.livejournal.com/users/sockkpuppett/

I don't actually know how many Smallville people are on my fList and how many of y'all are just humoring me, but I suspect some of you of leaning in that direction a bit. If so - it is okay. I have decided that shows are what you make of them and I am making a lot from this one, so there you have it.

So, if I was to say that linzeems has posted her Fucking Lex Video, then I suppose quite a few people would go and watch it based on the title alone and then be disappointed cause the vid does not quite match the title. Sorry - she had to make do with her source and anyway - y'all are a buncha perverts and should be ashamed of yourselves.

And now - for the life of me I can't recall this vid's actual name - "Falling from the Sky"?? The song is by Vast and it is a rather nifty look at ole Lex and his becoming, which is a very favorite vid topic of mine - but not really a fic topic I enjoy on a comfort level. Lex-Becoming fic - well I find it interesting, but then I am all disturbed and need chocolate. I much prefer Rift-What Rift? or Fix-The-Rift or Lex Ain't Evil, He's Misunderstood in fic. But for vids I want something else entirely. I don't think I get me all the time.

Did I just quote Pink?

The vid is here: http://www.livejournal.com/users/linzeems/513936.html

Now I am thinking about what I want from fic and what I want from vids and wow - those are two hugely different things.

Add to that, I will generally watch good vids in any fandom and the best way to pimp me to a fandom is to show me vids - but fanfic...

Well, I tend to need that quite differently. I mean - there are some writers I will read no matter what - valereix comes to mind, but generally I am at least serially monogamous when it comes to reading fanfic. I like it in one fandom at a time, please. Possibly because the areas of my brain that are stirred while reading prose are quite different from the area I use when watching a vid...

Don't even get me started with the comic books/graphic novels. I have decided that I just don't know how I process that - it is like this strange combo of vid watching and reading without a soundtrack - because I swear to you - just like when you are utterly engrossed in a novel - you *see* and hear shit from the book - but you don't and you know you don't - but you *do* - the interpretative center of your brain that tells you that you are reading gets shut off and you just - well y'all know- that same shit happens with a graphic novel when it is working - the damned panels start moving and there is that same disconnect... but it is different.

I'm thinking a lot about that right now and if that is what I find so interesting about Anime vids as well and none of it makes any sense yet... but I felt the need to share.

Okay - so caphricacorn was all sad and posting about how she needed more Smallville vids in her LJ and I remembered that there were a bunch of really good vids premiering at VVC and that are now posted online and hey - what are big sisters for?

I support the Clark/Lex love in a younger generation cause ya gotta have a firm basis in the classics, y'know?

So - for Cappy - and for any SV fan that is not my baby sister, here are links to some good shit. Links to the LJ posts where those vids were posted actually - because I expect you to leave at least a comment.

Emmanuel by Luminosity

--this is the auction vid she was working on where you were staying with me. You know - to that song with high pitched singer. Well - it is even prettier now and you can get the finished version here:

Drop Dead Gorgeous by Shalott

Holy freaking something that freaks out holy - this vid is hot. I like it. I like to sing it. I like to watch it. I think I may one day want to be this vid. God. I know my ex-boyfriend lies. He does it everytime. It's just his permanent disguise.

I Just Wanna Take You Home by Merry

It opened the Premiere show - it was perfect way to start the show and cracked my shit up. I especially like how Lex has to meet his parents. Sigh.

(Psst - remember - Merry wrote "Ice" - this is kinda like that in vid form. Without the freezing to death part - and the Clark being honest part. Also - there is no on camera sex. Hmmmm - but Poor-Put-Upon-Lex is definately in this vid. Oh, just go watch it).

http://www.livejournal.com/users/merryish/118161.html

permetaform has finished her vid and it is a doozy. I'm still all in shock of her mad skillz using Premiere (her previous vid "Why" for SV was made using WMM2) - let loose with an NLE, she pays attention to *everything* - watch the vid to see how she manipulates color to maintain mood - I'm all with the happy.


http://www.livejournal.com/users/permetaform/149567.html

I am unable to check my FL for fear that people will be talking about a show being almost over and I have decided that it is not almost over and will never be over because Angel is eternal dammit, so I am kinda just hanging out here in the corner. With my hand raised.

So, if there is anything I need to see (hint porn or vids - just saying these are just a few of my favorite things) email me the link. Please.

f1renze did and I am so grateful. If I had gone another second without knowing this vid existed, my life would be a sad and lonely place.

This is my favorite thing today. This is a thing of beauty. This vid brought joy into my heart. This vid was the perfect mix of cheese and sentiment - LIKE TED!!!!

Brian and Ted are the new blue. Seriously - B/J was fun - and I still adore Justin, but he is seriously fucked up right now. Not his fault, and he is still such a kid, but y'know - Brian should be with an adult. If Brian was my friend - I'd think he should probably break up with Justin. I mean, it sucks. You meet this guy and everything is going swimmingly and 3 years into the relationship Brian finds out his boyfriend has anger issues. If this happened to any of you, I would counsel you to run, not walk the other way.

And the last thing Justin needs right now is the stress of a relationship. He needs to find out who Justin is - first. And really - who sticks with the same boyfriend they have had since they were 17? I was a completely different person when I was 17. I thought Pearl Jam's "Black" was deep. I thought if a guy could play the guitar it meant he was probably smart, even if all other evidence pointed elsewhere. I did not realize there was a separate musical intelligence that could come into play there.

So now, come one and come all. Join me as I declare Brian/Ted = The *New* OTP!!!

Adulthood - it is not just for real-people anymore.

I'm MIA most of the time right now. Blame real life and real bills and a real need to get this month over with already.

I do want to say that Bob Dylan's "Silvio" is about Lindsey.

Silvio silver and gold
Won't buy back the beat of a heart grown cold
Silvio I gotta go
Find out something only dead men know.


Aside from the lyrics, the song sounds like his smile.


sockkpuppett has finished her "Kill Bill" vid - which makes me want to vid Kill Bill. And watch it again. And I keep thinking - damn she made this fast - but then I remember she has been thinking about this vid for a year now. So, KB is a violent movie - yeah - but pretty much Kung-Fu Cartoon violence, for the most part. Other than a few notable scenes, it was about as violent as a really intense episode of Buffy. If Buffy had featured spraying geysers of blood. Dude - Buffy *should* have featuered spraying geysers of blood. I would be so happy with that.

Okay - so if you are on the fence - don't know if you are gonna see the movie or not - don't watch this vid cause of spoilers - get off the fence, see the movie. Then watch the vid.

If you think there is no way you will ever see Kill Bill - check out the vid. I remember discussing the violence in caille's journal months and months ago - a long time before I ever saw the movie - and I kinda want to discuss it again.

ETA: Contains footage from both Kill Bill Vol 1 and Vol 2

permetaform asked me a question about a vid and, poor thing, I basically demanded she let me beta it. I couldn't help it - it was Lex Luthor pain and that is something really special right there, and she has really *thought* about it and each clip means something and then it means something else - the the thing is really meaty (hee - I said meaty).

So I'm becoming Bossy-Beta and I'm rattling off "do this, oh you can do this with the blah diddity blah blah" and then I find out she is using WMM. And she *still* managed to do all that stuff. I am very impressed. I'm also lobbying hard for her to switch to Premiere. Possibly because I am jealous of her WMM skills. None of my WMM vids ever looked like *that* /whine.

Go here to see her Smallville vid and then leave large amounts of feedback.

Dayum - this day has been tres strange. I think you can directly tell how stressed I am at work by the amount of times I will post to LJ...just a theory. I also clean when I have other work to do - which less face it - is a good thing, otherwise I would exist in *complete* squalor.

Now for something good: flrenze understands that emotionally, Brian Kinney is 12 fucking years old. I love it when people get this. I mean - I love Brian - but he is not a great standard of emotional maturity. There is a reason the love of his life is a teenager. Go see Flo's latest vid. Trust me - very very cute.

http://www.livejournal.com/users/f1renze/32946.html

Mmm - gave good Brian.

If you are reading this than you are either a Buffy fan or a QaF fan or you happen to know me and put up with all of my blatherings because you are indulgent and should probably be sainted. Oh! Or you like fan-vids.

In any case - you are the perfect audience for this - go see what kitkatbyte has cooked up - it is just adorable and funny and actually touching and you have to see it. She redid the season five BtVS credits QaF-Style and just the way she was able to match the clips and the movements and the lighting and effects... well, I am impressed.

So go - guaranteed entertainment. I'd say money back - but this is fucking free, so quit your bitching.

Home stretch and then it is over and I will cry. And then I will go see if Wren has updated"Reaper Boy" cause that is the only thing that will make me feel better. Well,that and full frontal Angel. Someone needs to make me happy, okay? I have had a really hard day.

"Rope of Fire" - I had no idea Daniel saw other people. I thought his and Jack's love was pure and exclusive. Destina is learning me some wicked SG stuff. Teal'c is an exciting man, though, I can see the temptation. I'm a bit tempted myself. Oh, wait - Daniel - watch out. Something is up. Be careful. OMIGOD. Daniel and Teal'c's love ispureandtrueandovercomesdeadwives.

"All Along The Watchtower" - yep - Killa is vidcrack and she will keep you running toward crosses in dark halls. I totally knew this one was Killa cause it was so good. Also - I no longer fear the rhino. For the Rhino is my friend.

"Touch Me Fall" - well yeah - it is shalott. Hee - Indigo Girls and X-Men. Well - it isn't as if it was Angel/Wes and Jeff Buckley. I had no idea at the con. I am oblivious. I like this. Picard and that other guy should totally make out. Wait - I know X-Men Movieverse. I should be better. Okay - Prof X and Magneto should totally make out. And then make Wolverine take off his shirt. Hey! I blame the wine.

So Real - Okay - here is how oblivious I am. I had no freakin idea that a Jeff Buckley song to a Wes/Angel vid would easily be identifiable as a Lum vid. I was all on pins and needles. In retrospect that was probably good - but not smooth. I need to work on being smooth. Such as my audible gasp when Connor's face shows up in the blacked out sun. I had seen that vid multiple times - I knew it was coming. I still gasped. I have no self-control. You should see me on a rollercoaster. At least Lum comes through for me on the shirtless front! Whoo Hoo - Go Lum, it's your birthday.

"Come As You Are" - WTF? Jack is hot??!! Why didn't anyone tell me this? All these years spent wasted when all you had to do was show me the scene where he beats the shit out of the car with the hockey stick. That is all it took. Thank you Kathy and Jill for showing me the error of my ways. I repent now.

That's it? But no.. we were having such fun. Well I was having fun and I don't want to pass out just yet. Maybe I could blather about my Dead Like Me vid idea that is totally Wren's fault (and it really actually is this time) - wait, no - don't go away. There is still wine in the bottle. I'm an easy drunk. I have the tolerance of a flea. Ask Lum. Ask renenet or elke or tzikeh and doesn't anyone use capital letters anymore?? I feel like I'm gonna hang with ee cummings next.

I love how these discs come on. So cute. Also - I miss Vividcon. I really miss it. I love you guys.

Wow, typing is hard now.

"Kinda I Want To" - I think this vid may not work. Well, actually, that is what I thought at the con. It's working fine for me now. I think I had issue with the song choice and some cuts. I love the song though. I was really into it in high school. WTF? What was I doing getting into this when I was in high school? I was a bad kid. I should apologize to my mother.

Oh - Stargate. I'm not missing an SG vid this time. "Rite of Passage" - I like this song. This is a good song. I think I am learning SG here. Oh - there is Jack. I know Jack. When he hits a car with a hockey stick he is fucking hot as hell. He doesn't do that here - cause this vid is about these desert people. I really have no idea what is going on here. It is very pretty though, so that's okay. One day when I am not drinking I expect I will understand. Where is Daniel? I know Daniel. Did you know he died and then got kicked out of heaven? Like Buffy - except not ripped out, which I expect makes a huge difference. Okay - Destina did this vid and I'm gonna watch it again when focus is my friend cause there was a very strong narrative there and I totally fucked it up. Let's blame Wrenlet. I'm blaming everything on her lately. It is fun. She is all "Let's kill Justin and make him a reaper" and I'm all "Okay" and now I have a Dead Like Me vid bunny that won't die and makes me cry. I think I have PMS. This is a lot of crying for me, even while drunk.

And I am totally missing this next vid. I saw Skinner and then I saw Obi Wan Kenobi. Oh! Duncan and Methos! I love them. Oh - was that Daniel?? I know Daniel. I saw "Solsbury Hill" - Dawn got obsessed with that vid recently. SAMMMM!! I love Sam. What was that masked vid? And where did I put the remote?

Oh shit. I had no idea this would be on the disc. Wow. "Crucify" - This vid killed me at the con. Wait... this isn't the Homicide vid. Oh - I haven't seen this one before. It is Witchblade. Hang on - I have to rewind. Or whatever it is called when you restart a DVD. Where the fuck is the remote? Shit. I am totally missing this. Who did this vid? This Witchblade show I think I would like. She reminds me of Aeryn Sun. I miss Aeryn. This is weird cause I turned to the TV all expecting Timmy and I got, um - Sarah? Is that her name? Or am I mixing her up with Sarah Connor? I do that sometimes. Did I tell ya'll why Dawn is going to spin class at 5am every day? She says she is in training. If you ask her "What are you in training for?" she will tell you, "The Apocolypse." Yes. That is my sister. Why, yes, I am the normal one, thanks for asking. Okay - Dianne DeSha did this vid. Found the remote. Apocolypse averted. This is a very moving song, although I suspect even Celine Dion could move me right now. Her heart will go on, ya'll. I am totally doing disservice to this vid right now. I'll come back to it - remind me, 'kay?

Oh - Moya!! Farscape!! Rock Music! Worm Holes! And fuck - john is hot. Aeryn is pretty hot herself. No wonder they are my het couple of choice. There love is so pure and true that even I acknowledge it. But that has nothing to do with this vid. Hell - I can't even concentrate. Did that vid have credits?? Shit I suck.

Oh! Oh! I LOVE THIS VID. "Man of Constant Sorrow" shalott kicks such serious ass. Indy!!! And she made him from Kentucky in this vid! Shout-out!! I'm claiming shout-out!! Me and Indy, we are from the ole KY. Sniff. Like the jelly. This vid is so perfect, and I thought that sober. Ask Eunice, I was going on about it the other day on AIM. I was. I have to show this to my dad. If shalott had been in charge, "Temple of Doom" Would not have sucked.

"Cowboy"!!! Hee. That's me. Hee. I broke the "y." What I did - I tried to channel Lum in this vid and I went into my very best sustained vid farr ever. That was so much fun. I never would have made this vid without "I'm Not A Virgin Anymore." - "Kid Rock, you can call me Tex" is my favorite part tonight. "Radio Edit" - heee - he says "Suck My Dick" there and I could not find a version that actually had him saying it other than live. I suck. I suck for not making Wes suck Angel's dick.

"Atropine" - well I think it is a conspiracy. All my friends want to make me sad. Cause it is all about me right now. Here's luck and Eunice are evil. As is Myrtle. What was I saying? Fuck. Tara is in the ground. Fuck.

"So It Goes" Carol S and Destina - I don't think Jack hits the car with the hockey stick in this vid. He is really hot when he does that. He is sad and loves Daniel here. Oh God, Daniel is the only one who knows. They are like Brian and Justin only at a secret military facilty or something. And not as naked.

I LOVE THIS FUCKING VID. "Razzle Dazzle" - oh Kirk, ya big fucking slut. T. Jonesy and Killa are geniuses and I totally thought that sober and I made them show me this vid multiple times and now I own it. It is in my home!!

::does razzle dazzle Kirk dance::

Aww, poor Spock. I love old Kirk. Khaaaaannnnn!!!!!

And another vid I have loved forever "Teenage Dirtbag" - I die when the Millenium Falcon is an Iroc. I just die. Crazygrrl is really cool. I should send feedback. "ohhhhohhhh" This vid is so cool. All of these vids are so cool. And I have them now. At my house. Wheeeee.

I am in good vid shock right now. Just so ya know. I can not believe that I have all of these vids at my house to watch whenever I want. Hee.

"Gansta's Paradise" is on this disc? Well, obviously, since I am watching it on my TV. Wow. Superstar and Gangsta's Paradise in my house. I think Faith made me gay. Morgaine or here's luck get the complimentary toaster for a new recruit. They should figure out how to divvy it up. Meanwhile, I will be trying to seduce Faith. Except I'm kinda scared of her. Maybe that is it. I'm scared of Angel and Brian and Dr Dre.

"I'm Looking Through You" - hee, T. Jonesy's vid is the only reason I watched "Catch Me If You Can" and it was a good movie. I liked this vid better. I'm glad she went with the Wallflowers remake. The new/old song style works really well with the source. I think I am sobering up. This needs to be corrected.

This is the Sports Night vid. It makes me sad. I can't handle it right now.

I'm gonna take another break.
