Someone is INSIDE MY HEAD.

This is the video I've wanted since the very first time I heard the song "Viva la Vida". Okay, so it's obvious, what with "the sound of drums" lyrics and all, and I am not very original, but this video is almost EXACTLY what I imagined. Although possibly my version might have featured the Doctor a bit more...

Oooh. Interesting. Thanks for the rec.

I'm extremely fond of this vid of Viva la Vida - http://di-br.livejournal.com/232363.html. Almost entirely the Doctor, but it fits.

Oooh, thanks for the link!

Perfect! Love that song, and even without having caught up to the latest Who yet, that gave me chills. (Spoilers, eh, whatever!) I can see myself crushing on Simm if I'm not careful...

[travels_in_time]

I'm sorry, I totally forgot to warn for spoilers for EOT! I just assumed everyone who cared had seen it by now, and I really should know better than that...

If you go to watch it, be aware that it's a typical RTD finale--grandiose, overblown, massive drama, absolutely wonderful character moments but no sense of plot whatsoever. And there are some very WTF?! moments in the first part (for me, at least), but the second part improves tremendously.

I can see myself crushing on Simm if I'm not careful...

Oh, it's far too late for me. Life on Mars established him in my mind as a brilliant actor, and State of Play made me realize that he could play ridiculously sexy. And him being a giant woobie in both those shows didn't hurt, either.

Oh, that's okay--the spoiler remark was a comment upon my own attitude toward spoilers. I usually don't bother avoiding them. :) And with an RTD finale I fully expect him to haul every character out of the bag, alive or dead--and anyway, they've got time travel; it doesn't matter if someone was dead! Besides, the clips didn't tell me much out of context. Except that Simm is really beautiful. *happy sigh*

Will have to look up more of him. And I hope the gods hear your idea of casting him and Tennant as Crowley and Aziraphale! I noticed that in a breeze-through LJ read the other week, but didn't have time to comment. Awesome idea.

Will have to look up more of him.

Let me know if you need any help with that. I'm pretty sure I can provide *cough* a ton of stuff he's been in.

this was great. thanks for the link. the guy is so gorgeous!

[travels_in_time]

Tell me about it. *sigh*

[in_the_bottle]

Yeah... didn't quite hit the spot for me. Cuts were a bit too long for parts of the song, and there were a couple of places where the clip wasn't cut too cleanly and you can see a flash of a scene from before... um, yeah, I'll shut up now. :P

ETA: skipthedemon's rec above, now THAT'S how this song should be done in a vid! Shorter/faster and clean cuts! Quick, to the beat. :D

Umm... yeah, being a vidder has completely ruined my ability to enjoy a vid. *sigh*

[travels_in_time]

skipthedemon's rec is a good vid, and I do love the Doctor, but in terms of subject matter, it wasn't what I was looking for, as it's definitely a "Master" song for me. I guess it's like stories; I want basic structure and good spelling and grammar, but I don't mind if there are minor plot problems, as long as the character moments are there.

[in_the_bottle]

I wasn't talking about the subject matter either, just the way the vid was edited and put together. To me, the Master vid has a good plot and good character moments, but it's the spelling and grammar (editing) that I'm having trouble with. :P

Like I said, it's the vidder in me looking at it and going "this could've been done better by doing X!"

*stares*

Jeez, now I just want to sit around and watch Simm vids all day. I agree about Moar Doctor being necessary in that one, though.

[travels_in_time]

Jeez, now I just want to sit around and watch Simm vids all day.

Yes. *settles in*
