Vids! Mandara (Dune) and Black Black Heart (The Revenger's Tragedy)

[astolat]

I am very gratefully home! at last, and after successfully staving it off for six weeks, the traveling has finally laid me low and I have what is trying to be a cold, argh. But I am fighting it off with fluids and vitamins, and have gotten the Vividcon vids up. :D

OMG! I sooooooooo have to watch Revengers Tragedy now! I didn't know it existed (though, I've seen an icon made from it and hadn't known where it was from). Anything with Christopher Eccleston and Eddie Izzard in it must. Be. Seen! \o/

And, I'm with you on Lynch's Dune (though I guess he was only actually involved in it for about 5 minutes, but it does bear his surreal, disjointed mark). I love it 'cause it's been part of my memories since I was wee and tiny, but it is deeply, deeply flawed. I have seen the scarily long rough cut and it's brilliant. It actually takes some of the flawed out of it for me.

I've only been reading the books relatively recently. They're so interesting and the way Herbert will toss out a sentence that changes/warps everything you've presumed up 'til that if you're not reallly paining attention you'll miss is brilliant. It's like he did if so that you could have the core reading, but, if you're clever, there's even more about the subtly of things. And, I'm not articulating this well.

\o/ for both vids! They are happiness and joy!

No, I get what you're saying. The books really are subtle, and complicated, and I like his voice a lot. I loathe the recent sequels, which leach out all the subtlety and don't even have the eye candy of the movie. :/

And yes yes, see Revenger's Tragedy! It's a trip and a half, seriously.
