I kept telling Milly to comment "YOU FUCKED OUR BRAINS and we'll be back to comment later" while we were at the con because I didn't want to impose on her computer time with three other people in our room and only one laptop that was prone to overheating, but I was all like OMG THIS VID MUST LET WHITNEY KNOW NOW THAT IT FUCKED MY BRAIN but it doesn't look like she got around to it, so now I have to do my own dirty work. So, uh, where was I?
All of us were sitting together at Challenge and right after this vid we all leaned across and said "Whitney?" to each other and nodded vigorously, and that was that as far as the double-blind went. NO ONE does the fucked-up the way you do. (And also we all punched the air in triumph when it was revealed that you in fact did it because Oh Hai, It Was Our Awesome Friend and we got to bask vicariously.)
The first time I watched this at the show I felt like I really got the Fuck You. Upon rewatch now I'm no longer sure that was your primary meaning, but I'll lay it down anyway and would love to hear your thoughts on it.
My initial reading revolves around the juxtaposition between the zombie whores and the Wincest. I keep seeing the zombie misogyny to the very heavy grinding beat, the blood, the Missing Reel, and among that you splice the graphic Wincest to the much softer, ballad-y stuff, and to me that's the equivalent of flipping off the SPN fangirls for enjoying "lalala the boys are hot when fucking each other" when there are much more sinister themes at play both in the show and in the vid. The first time I watched it, the vid wasn't so much about a linear narrative as it was a scream of frustration at SPN fandom. The more I watch it the more I pick out a narrative thread, but not having seen any of the zombie movies it's hard for me to piece out where it starts or ends. But that's enough wank for now. It's a fucking brilliant vid and probably the most graphically grotesque I've seen, not just for the con but probably anywhere ever, which - YAY. :D You twisted genius, you.
