Friday Recs: The Video Edition

I CANNOT COME TO THE KEYBOARD BECAUSE I HAVE DIED OF THE HOTASS. It's a good thing I mocked this up already. (Thank you [livejournal.com profile] the_grynne).

A Note from The Management: whomever is hotlinking from my photobucket, knock that shit off. Thanks to you I had to lock up all my photo albums and am one day away from being over my bandwidth. Thanks for ruining shit for everybody else. In short, thanks for nothing.

Moving onward.

This week we're focusing on vids, cause vids are awesome and should always get all the love (I learned proper appreciation from Her Holiness [livejournal.com profile] thefourthvine). Personally I'd love to vid, but I do not possess one iota of the required patience to go through all the footage required to make one palatable. I'd need some huge interactive grid where you can grab footage and reorder it. Like Minority Report. And then there is the music. I am very particular about my music (like you lot didn't know that) and there's nothing sadder to me than when I love the way someone edited their video, but the music just leaves me lacking. But there is none of that here.




Fic Recs: Sherlock

The Adventure of the Lover's Nasty Sister by [livejournal.com profile] nekomitsu - Dear Jim, please will you fix it for me to get rid of my lover's nasty sister? Dear Jim, please will you fix it for me to disappear to South America? -Sherlock, The Great Game <-- Oh my god, who knew Moriarty would take that shit seriously?! Priceless.


Unusual Symmetry by [livejournal.com profile] mresundance -- It is a great thing to find someone you can co-exist with on set terms. It's a rare thing to find someone with whom you can exist on your own terms.


And now to the vids...

Sherlock

Brokeback Baker Street by ImperviousAffinity. Yes, it's been done before, but not quite like this. And I admit I really like this and am totally partial and biased. A toast to ImperviousAffinity cause this is the business.




Goodbye Apathy by turkeyrolls. I confess I am partial to this video because of the song, which I was exposed to about five years back by [livejournal.com profile] slodwick when [livejournal.com profile] scrunchy wrote a little (mad awesome) story called Chasing Sheppard and Slod did the soundtrack. On it was this group called Republic, later renamed One Republic. You might've heard of them. They did this song called 'Apologize'. I got distracted, what I appreciate about the way this song ties into the video is the way it highlights the way John and Sherlock's lives change when they come together, so you know, goodbye apathy, hello something to give a shit a about.





I wish you would just be real with me by HeartPrism. Once upon a time Dr. John Watson fell in love with Sherlock Holmes. Except Sherlock's not even gay. What the hell is that about? He should just hang himself with his H&M scarf. And if you know what that lyric is from, and even if you don't, I guar-ran-fucking-tee you will love the shit out of this vid. Listen to the lyrics, watch how HeartPrism lines everything up beautifully. I have a whole new respect for [spoilers]'s writing team now.




Untitled 221 by Orangenin. It's a vid. A Sherlock vid. And because there are only three episodes there are only so many clips that can be edited so many ways (unless you draw from Benedict and Martin's other roles) but the right music -- the right music changes everything.






The Social Network

Sometimes people ask me, [livejournal.com profile] hackthis is The Social Network really as gay as you imply? To which I can only say, "YES." If you do not believe me I highly recommend you check out Fuck Yeah Mark and Eduardo, where even Andrew Garfield ships Mark/Eduardo (trufax) and the [livejournal.com profile] tsn_kinkmeme cause TSN is small enough that it won't eat you alive.


My only issue with TSN is the ending. Namely that the movie was over and there was no more of it for me to watch. I assume the pornographic reconciliation will be in the DVD deleted scenes. Thankfully hirusena911 came along and rectified that. And it's AWESOME.




This video was titled "Mom and Dad broke up! And it was so traumatizing." Okay, that's actually the subtitle. My subtitle. This is actually ...I was your only friend by RuslanaSlastena but it -- oh my god, break out the Kleenex. I'm telling you now.




You know that part above where I mentioned that Andrew Garfield ships Mark/Eduardo? Well I think he ships Andrew/Jesse too. Can You Feel All the Love by Turkeyrolls





Miscellanea

This is a picture gallery for Series 3 of Southland. Yeah, exactly. \o/

Like most people I think of commercials and/or adverts as the time best used doing something else, like, flossing. But the first time I saw this video was at the theatre and I was stunned by how moved I was. How beautiful I thought it was. This commercial is sort of how I think of writing. Of how I hope my writing comes across. I don't need a lot of words, it should just speak for itself. I didn't know Levi's had it in them; I give props to their ad company and the people of Braddock, Pennsylvania.





Music

1. A few weeks back I introduced some of you to the most fantastic Adele and her first single off her new album '21' -- Rolling in the Deep. Last week the proper video was released and oh my god do I love the fuck out of the imagery. This is how a video should be done.




2. If I were a rich man, Ya ha deedle deedle, bubba bubba deedle deedle dum... I mean if I were a vidder I would make a Sherlock video to Dark Matter by Andrew Bird, cause if anything ever said Sherlock fucking Holmes, it's this song.




3. And before I forget: for [livejournal.com profile] pyrimidine: Ben Lee's 'Nothing Much Happens'




And In Conclusion: Food for Thought


This week's A Softer World.

It's worth a view just because you can understand why Andrew gets all protective of Jesse. If you look closely--not that I've watched the interview multiple times or anything--but you can see his hands shake as he nervously rubs the chair.

Ugh, ugh. I am not going RPF in this fandom, dammit. I'm just gonna...subsume all of those traits into Mark. Yeah.

Oh hey, I'm actually over my bandwidth bc of hotlinking, methinks. Not cool, but I don't even post that many pictures? Eh.

"A lot goes on but nothing happens," HAHAHAHA THIS IS PERFECT. :D :D

(These rec posts make my fandom week. I just wanted you to know!)

Sherlock would like Andrew Bird I think. He might even be convinced to see him live - enveloped in the darkness of the hall, where he could watch each violin and guitar part layer up on top of the next. watch the sweep of the bow arm and deft way Mr Bird switches between it and the guitar. How he turns a series of effects pedals into an instrument in it's own right. he'd see each layer quite clearly I'm sure. but it would be interesting enough to keep his attention, as long as he stood at the back, with a good view of the stage, Watson stoicly tolerating whatever closest resembled an ale from the bar. Something that had to be refridgerated for it to be tolerable, probably.

I don't post a lot of photos -- but I do the occasional picspam. Apparently the whole save to your own desktop thing just escapes some people.

And I was listening to Ben's album and I heard that song and I was like, "dude, I know who would find that hysterical."

Yes. Exactly :)

I very much enjoy all the TSN linkage! And since I missed most of the press junkets for that movie, I might have to rectify that today. To Youtube!

Hi! Just delurking to ask if you had seen this vid on YouTube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y6Sa5yY0edw&feature=grec_browse

Its Tom Hardy and Benedict Cumberbatch basically acting like little boys. Yes both. Together! I hope that you've seen this!

*cough* I just thought you should know (like your other myriad sources haven't come through seconds after it was posted), the first trailer for Fast Five is up here:

http://www.imdb.com/rg/VIDEO_PLAY/LINK//video/imdb/vi2122422297/

Just. UNF.

Go YouTube!

[identity profile] hackthis.livejournal.com 2010-12-21 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
I have seen it, thanks!

[identity profile] hackthis.livejournal.com 2010-12-21 12:58 am (UTC)(link)
Thanks!

I found the interview where AGarfield talks about Jesse having to hide his sexiness. Mission accomplished! :D

Um, whut? Where does this exist? I must see this.

OH MY EFFING GOD. Look at how fidgety he is. Look at how tiny? Does he eat?
aurora: (Default)

[personal profile] aurora 2010-12-21 09:34 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm sure Andrew makes him eat when he's around!! He loves him, you see -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K3_6qmUAxaI (3/4th into this).

[identity profile] hackthis.livejournal.com 2010-12-22 05:25 am (UTC)(link)
Oh my god, Jesse is fragile. You know if a man said this about a woman I'd be livid, but Andrew really feels like he needs to protect his man. Wow, talk about strong feelings.

[personal profile] aurora 2010-12-22 11:09 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't I'll ever get tired of hearing Andrew gush about Jesse and his made love for him. (Btw, I rounded up a few of the epic Andrew interviews in the third item of this post. You've probably seen them now, but thought I'd mention it.)

YOU ARE TOTALLY MY FAVORITE PERSON TODAY. THANK YOU.

I'm not sure if you have this already, but as you introduced me to Adele in the first place, I feel it only fitting that I offer you '21'.

Thanks for the music and the fic (you also dragged me into The Social Network Fandom, so thanks for that, too!)

Re: Delurking and bearing gifts

What a lovely thing to do, thank you so very much! I cannot wait to listen to it :)

Re: Delurking and bearing gifts

[identity profile] mysweetbrick.livejournal.com 2011-01-24 11:23 am (UTC)(link)
You are most welcome. I hope you like it. It's very good. Different to 19, more Nashville than Motown.

[identity profile] inmyriadbits.livejournal.com 2011-01-28 08:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Hey, so, very much off-topic, but I saw this video and immediately thought of you, since you were the first person I ever saw mention the song in question. Hope you get a kick out of it! :)

Best college final EVER (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sv3tadz5Q3o).
