Festivids

[kassidy62]

C and I went through quite a few vids last night. First, here's a link to the master list at LJ

Here's the ones we really enjoyed:

(RPF) Hugh Jackman - Gorgeous
Hugh Jackman is hard to resist (and why would you? We didn't). I was wincing a bit, like a tiny little embarrassment squick - but as the title of the vid says, he's gorgeous and charming. It's just, he *wiggles* (heh) and stuff. A quirky, cool little vid.

for Kiss Kiss Bang Bang - Tik Tik Tok Tok
Snappy, catchy, RDJ in all his glory

(RPF) Martin & Lewis - What I Like About You
Dean Martin and Jerry Lewis - nose to nose, licking, leaping, breathing each other's air. This is fucking cute, one of those vids that make you grin:)

The Losers - Cuz I Can
Is there anyone you can't ship in this movie? Pretty, charismatic people and lots of action

Interview With the Vampire - Trouble
Louis/Lestat - I was always pleasantly surprised by Tom Cruise's vampy, arrogant interpretation of Lestat (I thought he'd be just awful in the role). Now, these actors aren't who I imagine when I think of Louis and Lestat, admittedly, but nevertheless, Louis' angst and Lestat's predatory interest in him makes a nice case for the ship here. Really enjoyed it.

There are others I enjoyed as well, for various reasons - the Prince vid, the Bride of Chucky vid, Vikings vid, another of the Interview With the Vampire vids - and I haven't seen all the vids as of yet.

I love Festivids! And thank you, vidders and folks who've put this together, for a fest I look forward to every single year:)

P.S. - while I'm at it, a non-Festivids vid rec - Bagira's Vampire Party features clips from vampire movies and some awesomely suited music. Lots of gore, and if I can mention something really picky - the first part, to me, goes on a tad too long, but screw it. It's seriously excellent. I can only wish to make vids like this. The more I play it, the more I enjoy it.

And also I wanna check this one out: http://charmax.livejournal.com/49868.html
What ever will we do when we've gone all the way through the alphabet? Numbers? Double letters? Symbols?

I've downloaded the vid, baybee:)
Hmm, we should maybe just rename them all with numbers so they'll list correctly...

I've only watched a few so far. The Agents of Shield were good. The Hansel and Gretal was a favorite, too. It was certainly reminiscent of the Sam/Dean relationship. I think that's why it appealed to me so much.

I will make a point of watching more of these tonight when I get a chance.

Thanks for the recs!

you bet. I didn't try the Hansel and Gretel one, I still have more to go. And I meant to tell you that Cass wrote some Steve/Tony stuff at a03 that I really enjoyed at http://archiveofourown.org/series/27368
Sorry you're having troubles with the Inmates follow-up - I love that story.

I think I'll be able to iron out the issues with Inmates II. I really needed to take a break from it. Not only that, I'm really getting back into writing fanfic again. Thanks to my new luv/lust for all things ClintCoulson :)

I'm definitely going to check out the Interview vids. Oh, and I subscribed to those Steve/Tony stories. I want to get into that fic.

Thanks!
