YOUR INPUT SOUGHT: Potential multifandom "we love spaceships" vid

[bironic]

Supposing a person were crazy and just came up with a multifandom space show/movie Club Vivid vid idea set to Nicki Minaj's "Starships," heard on the radio for the first time this week. Supposing this person wanted to compile a list of canons to put in this theoretical vid, choose key scenes from said canons, and find a few friends who own certain

Old school: Close Encounters of the Third Kind

X-Files

SGA has shots with beer in it (mentioned in the one verse)

[bironic]

Heh, I have a copy of Close Encounters ... in NY. But the main characters aren't flying the ship, so that's OK.

Do you know X-Files well? What scene(s)/episode(s) would be good to try to watch? I didn't know they flew ships in that.

[deelaundry]

If you want wistful as well, there are some shots of Buzz Lightyear from Toy Story and Toy Story 2 (which we have) that could work. There’s also the alien ship from Lilo & Stitch (which we also have).

X-Files and Close Encounters both, I was thinking about shots from the ground where the main characters are staring up at the ship (or the collection of lights meant to indicate the ship).

[bironic]

Cartoons! WALL-E! Touching the sky, trailing his hand through the nebula. Oh, must find. Wouldn't it be sweet to have cartoon shots in one sequence?

[deelaundry]

We have WALL-E too - I think. If not, we can acquire for you.

[bironic]

Life. Saver.

[bironic]

Found WALL-E in the library catalog, but I will definitely be taking you up on Toy Story, Lilo and SG-1, and will need to unlend Firefly for a bit. You don't happen to have The Fifth Element, Spaceballs or Hitchhiker's Guide?

[deelaundry]

Nope, none of those : (

Do you want me to do a watch-through of Toy Story and Lilo for scene times for you?

[bironic]

Not necessary, unless you're really bored - I have to shrough it to clip it anyway.

No worries on the others - Netflix to the rescue on one or two.

[cincodemaygirl]

You know, we should ask Heather and Bree--they have a ton of movies, lots of kids' stuff. Want me to call them? Just give me a list of what you still need!

[bironic]

*wide eyes of hope*

I am still looking for -- in order of importance --

Battlestar Galactica
Farscape
The Fifth Element
Community episode with the ship-that's-a-van
Spaceballs - found clip on YouTube
Any TNG ep that has ships firing at each other and stuff
Oh, didn't Muppet Babies do an episode in space? If we're talking about kids' stuff

Oh, man, if they do have something, I will totally go to their place and get it, wherever they are, unless they're planning on being nearby in the next few days.

[cincodemaygirl]

They have a lot more movies than TV, although they do have the first season of the Muppet Show, which I believe would include Pigs In Space, if you're interested in that? I have most of Community and likely the ship-van ep (since I remember seeing it). I don't have any of the rest, though. I looked on my comms and did find some BSG on Mediafire, but we'd want to figure out which eps have happy flying scenes (I remember enough that what we want is Starbuck and the other pilots testing new ships or a successful rescue mission, but I don't remember details of where we'd find those! Do you have any BSG superfans on your flist?). I will look for the others tomorrow!

Did you find the rest of the kid movies (Wall-E and stuff like that)? Because B&E are likely to have that kind of thing, and probably the Fifth Element--I will call Heather tomorrow!

[bironic]

I did find a bunch of stuff at the library and at deelaundry's, heh - I made another LJ post last evening, not sure if you saw it, with the missing stuff starred. Still interested in Community-with-not-spaceship (and if you know how to find the one from a few weeks ago where Abed was in a ship in the Dreamatorium, that'd be swell) and Fifth Element, so whatever H&B have, or whatever you have, would be so marvelous I cannot even express.

I've got the BSG pilot coming via Netflix. Other episodes I'd particularly like are:

2.9 Flight of the Phoenix (crew building the ship)
1.4 Act of Contrition (Starbuck crash)
2.8 Final Cut (Adama going "yes" on bridge, etc)
2.4 Resistance (Starbuck playing basketball)
1.10 Hand of God (pilots firing on Cylons)
1.12 Kobol's Last Gleaming, pt 1 (Starbuck in raider, crew crashing)

But I will take what I can get. :)

ETA: Any luck? Can/should I drop by tomorrow sometime for the Community disc?

[cincodemaygirl]

Hitchhiker's Guide, or did you find that one?

[bironic]

Ah, I did not find that, but it is low priority. So if it turns up, great, but if not, not a disaster.

[bironic]

Uh, scan through, not shrough. Stupid phone interface.
