VID RECS:
balistik94's Easy Money (Lock, Stock & Two Smoking Barrels; Revolver; RocknRolla; Snatch) - These are some of my favorite movies and they are blend nicely with great clip choice in this vid. I love how commonalities in the movies are drawn out.

beccatoria's Howl (Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles) - Very cool overlays and I love the editing style of fits and starts. It's a fantistic look at Jesse in relation to Derek, Riley, and her mission.

chaila43's Suicide Future (Rewind) (Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles) - Derek is an intensely interesting character and I love the music. The use of light and clips have great interactions with each other. I like how the visual similiarities are drawn out without dwelling on them.
chaila43's Suicide Future (Fast Forward) (Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles) - Great tension creation and exploration of John's character. I saw blown back by some of the lyrical interpretations. Powerful stuff, like "instead of killin', I spare the raccoon / And start fillin' sand bags as I stare at the moon," "we let the thoughts flood, we remind ourselves it's all right, it's all good / It's all love, it's not though," "a pot hole I'm sinkin' in, sharing a drink with my father."

charmax's Mr. Blue Sky (Wall-E) - This vid fills me with unabashed glee and happiness. I love it to pieces and think it's practically perfect in every way.

cherryice's Gasoline and Matches (Bones) - I love how cute and fun this is. The clip selection and organization is awesome with so many great uses.

obsessive24's Wicked Game (Battlestar Galactica) - It still hurts a bit, this vid is that good. I love the devastation of the world and the character of Dee. There's not much I can say that probably hasn't been said already about how amazing this vid is in all it's depressing glory.
obsessive24's I want to destroy something beautiful (Misfits) - It's a vid about a rapey-eyed tit-pissing cookie-munching corpse-watcher that can't tell the difference between romance and violence. What's not to love?
obsessive24's The Scream (Torchwood) - I could almost say that I'm sick of Nicky being so darn awesome and amazing at making vids, but I love them so much. This one is a freaky little exploration of Children of Earth with eyeball murderingly awesomeness.

thuviaparth's Etheric Messages (Fringe) - Wow, I am enthralled with this vid and all it's brillance. The feeling, clip choice, editing, colors, motion, and everything are amazing. It's part of the reason I started watching Fringe.

tearful_eye's Needs (Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon; Hero; House of Flying Daggers; Memoirs of a Geisha) - This is a fantastic vid that I want to live in. The colors are lush and blend together to the point of it being difficult to pick out the different movies. The motion is breathtaking and the whole vid is EPIC AS HELL. The clip connections and interactions are startling in their perfection.
tearful_eye's Never Be (Criminal Minds) - It's disturbing and haunting, which I gather was the intent because the vid is extremely well focused. I don't watch the show, but I was right there with the vid without a second thought because I was immediately locked in by the emotion and editing. There are so creepy moments that sent chills up my spine and made me want to take a shower, but in a good way that let's me know how awesome the vid is.
tearful_eye's The Survivor (Band of Brothers) - The editing is quiet, yet effective. The pacing is great and the instrumental lends itself well to the vid. It's a sleek and well created.

Having a snow day is so great. I get so much done.

VID RECS:
giandujakiss's Origin Stories (Buffy and Angel) - Commissioned by untrue_accounts, this vid hurts my brain with how amazingly intricate it is. I downloaded and watched it the first time seeing the Slayer/Vampire/It's Nikki Wood's fucking coat layer. I watched it the second time seeing the gender/It's Nikki Wood's fucking coat layer, then I refreshed my flist to find many recs and commentaries pointing out the race issues. Because I am dense sometimes, I watched again to see the race/It's Nikki Wood's fucking coat aspect. Everytime I watch it I see something else and that is the mark of a truly amazing vid.

Nicky's Piece of Me (RPS) - Well meshed sources, editing, and thought. I can't get over how well she was able to take Britney Spears' collection/life/videos and produce this incredibly telling, thought provoking vid that comes to a startling and plausible conclusion.

Last week I posted Sarah Silverman's song I'm F*cking Matt Damon and now Jimmy Kimmel's response - I'm F*cking Ben Affleck, along with Elizabeth Banks' parody - I’m Fucking Seth Rogen (NSFW).

It's interesting because a lot of people have been going back and forth with vid responses lately, including greensilver, who thinks Ianto won't dance, fan_eunice, who believes Ianto got his groove back, and kuwdora, who thinks Ianto dances with Weevils.

From now on all arguements will be settled in vid form.

Changed my layout (kiki_miserychic) to the closest thing I will ever get to a Christmas-y layout. Also, new userpic, which is funny because it’s true.

I turned in my Introduction to Mythology final this morning. It was supposed to a simple 3 page report on Gilgamesh, but it turned into an 8 page report with the last 5 about Spike from Buffy the Vampire Slayer. Oops. I also took my Math for Elementary School Teachers’ final today, so I only have Biology and Art History finals left.

I also succumbed and got an imeem account, so be my friend. :)

I just clicked a link to Jewel Staite’s blog thingy to read something about the Flanvention and freaking spoiled myself for something in the latter half of this season of Stargate: Atlantis.
