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.

I still have a very hard time separating this adult Ryan Gosling from the version I have of him in my head. I used to watch him every night on the MMC! It's just strange.

Yes, Social Network REALLY IS that gay. Bless you, Andrew Garfield, you magical unicorn of emotional overshare.

SOUTHLAND. \o/

I will provide verification who asks if The Social Network is really that gay.

YES IT IS.

These vids are awesome, and I will be rolling around in them for days!

That's okay, cause that just leaves more for me. And I? Well, I

Hah, comment twin. Also, you mind if I friend? I hope it's not weird, but I glanced at your journal, and I really like the whole "helping queer youth" thing.

oh hi! No problem. Friend away!

Bless you, Andrew Garfield, you magical unicorn of emotional overshare.


HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! *wheezes* He is so emo about Jesse. Actually they seem pretty emo about each other. I mean Jesse picked him up every day of shooting? I guess if you're already sleeping there for whatever purpose *ahem* then that's might convenient. *adjusts tin hat*

South. Land.

I had this horrible dream recently in which John Cooper wasn't gay. Hold me and tell me it ain't so.

I would just like to say that I firmly recommend Team [livejournal.com profile] jibrailis. She's incredibly smart, kind, thoughtful and a total pleasure to be around. She makes the fannish experience so damn enjoyable. And she didn't even have to pay me to say that.

Oh my god, I went over to YouTube to see one vid. ONE. Suddenly I'd watched like fifteen and had to stage an intervention on myself. Also, I see you wroted Yusuf-fic the other day. I'm done with Inception, but since you wrote it, it's totally in my to-read file cause I ♥ your writing. :D

[identity profile] wordsalone.livejournal.com 2010-12-17 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
LMAO.

That's cool. I feel the same way about Tom Hardy.

I thought I would never like that horrible Katy Perry song, but it is so perfect for a Sherlock/John vid.

Thanks for the recs!

*flails with love for you* ♥♥

I can only approach YouTube on a day when I have nothing else to do. It slays me otherwise.

[identity profile] hackthis.livejournal.com 2010-12-17 03:58 am (UTC)(link)
It's okay; it's totally true. Michael Cudlitz talks about it all the time. Well, not all the time, but you know, if anybody would know he would. And next season Ben's going to stage an intervention and John's going to rehab and there will be anger and trust issues and the end of John's skeezy dealer psuedo-boyfriend and then it will be a whole new day for John + Ben 4eva!

Kool-aid whut?

Also, Lydia is going to rule the entire world. I am so amped up for 4 January.

I just saw those Ryan pics earlier today. My god. Love him so.

The longest I'd ever spent on YouTube at any given time prior to last week was ten minutes. It just doesn't tend to hold my attention. Last week, however, it was like they put a spell on my brain.

Lydia's scepter would be the SHOTGUN OF GREAT JUSTICE. God, that was such a great action sequence. I love that she's this short little black lady, and she has such power as a character.

Also, you saw Jesse on Conan, right? At one point Conan was like, "Do you have a therapist?" And he was only half-kidding, srsly.

[identity profile] hackthis.livejournal.com 2010-12-17 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
Exactly.

[identity profile] hackthis.livejournal.com 2010-12-17 04:43 am (UTC)(link)
Is this the part where I climb in the middle of the sandwich? Excellent!

I have not seen this, but Jesse is most definitely a special boy. Most definitely.
