some vid recs and some fandom things
I've been pretty down lately, that's why I haven't been around much. But anyway, since vids almost always cheer me up, I thought I'd share some recs. Hope you'll enjoy!
True Blood
Personal Jesus by
killabeez ~ You know where this road leads.
This is so so awesome!! Perfect editing and it has everything I love about the show. All the pretty, all the sexy violence, amazing vid!
Mad Max (old movies)
Burnt Heart by
balistik94 ~ Just as soon as I belong, then it's time I disappear
Brilliant Max character study. This vid was made before Fury Road and I feel that the sentiment of the vid can also be found in the new movie.
Hawaii Five-0
Breath of Life by
Tizixx ~ I was looking for a breath of life
Amazing Steve character study with focus on Steve/Danny. I really love the unique vidding style and the vid packs a real emotional punch.
Other things
I watched the first season of Riverdale and I really really like it a lot! I'm not familiar with the comics, I had only heard of them, so for me this was a completely new universe. I really love the visual style and that even though the show takes place now, it has a certain timeless look. The 1950s style diner, the neon lights and especially Betty's look, for example. And I felt that in some instances it is really apparent that the source material is a comic because of cerain unique visuals, like, for example, the Blossom mansion or anything related to them really. I also enjoyed the murder mystery and the mood of the show, a bit like Twin Peaks, but not quite as weird or weird in a different way. Plus the characters and their dynamics are interesting and in a refreshing way not cliched. And in one episode the Bechdel test is mentioned!
I also watched The Lego Batman Movie and I LOVE it so much!! The relationship between Batman and Joker is pure gold. This may be the first Batman movie ever to not disappoint me. It was consistent in tone, they knew what they were doing and they pulled it off. They focused on the central theme of Batman's trauma and his motivation without adding the nth unnecessary on screen parents-death scene. They dealt with Batman not being a bad guy, but not being a typical good guy either. And like I already mentioned: Batman and Joker. Such a brilliant take on the iconic hero/villain dynamic.
