I'm starting to finally rewatch the VVC DVDs, so I'm throwing out another round of recs. There will likely be even more as the weeks go on. I'm not doing these posts in any sort of order or with any real logic, which means tons more I haven't mentioned that are way worth it (again, be sure to go look at the playlists for the various shows this year, good stuff everywhere).
Try Not To Breathe by
gwyn_r(Torchwood). It's not always easy for me to connect to Jack Harkness on an emotional level, even harder for me to feel a lot of sympathy for him. This vid? I do. Big time. There is a melancholy sweetness here that just moves me, and lets me really feel the weight of Jack's immortality and what it is to live, watch others die, and try to reach out with that. I love her blurb for this vid "Who remembers the rememberer?" because, yes. That. Awwwwww, Jack. *sniffle*
Mortal Kombat by
bradcpu (BtVS). *chortlesporfleheeheheeHAHAAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHgiggleHEEEEE* Brad wins everything. That is all.
Use It by
sisabet and Cappy (Kiss Kiss, Bang Bang). I've never even seen this movie and now I really, REALLY, want to. I love how clearly the relationships are drawn and draw you in with such a sense of fun. The movement is incredible here, and I walked away with a ready made OT3, which, it's like they know me.
Scrapbook of My Life by
mamoru22 (SGA). Stick figure John/Rodney love FTW! I do not think I can emphasize enough how adorable this is. It's like...picture a really cute kitten. Now imagine it hugging a puppy. Then you will be close to the levels of adorable here.
King Of Spain by
kudwora (Little Mosque on the Prairie). What's that? You say you want more adorable? Here you go, piles upon piles of peppy and hilarious cuteness just for you! Another show I now need to get my hands on, because I just want to reach out and cuddle the main character here until he can't breathe and then ruffle his hair. So totally going on my 'I need to cheer up' feelgood playlists.
Black Black Heart by
astolat and
melymbrosia (The Revenger's Tragedy). Did you know there was a movie with Eddie Izzard and Christopher Eccleston smoldering at each other? With bonus Derek Jacobi! I didn't either. How I missed that, I'll never know, but thankfully that gap in my knowledge has now been filled with slick editing and what looks like a downright fascinating story. Seriously cool.
And now I must brunch so the typing must stop.
