Quick Vid Recs

[sasha_feather]

This Chain of Days by beccatoria, Star Wars, set to the Neko Case song "At Last". About Shmi, Padme, and Leia. Short, but filled with a lot of emotion.

A Widow's Toast by chaila43, BSG, set to the Neko Case song of the same name. About Kara and grief.

I have been waiting for Neko Case music to be vidded! I am so happy to see these! Her music is so lyrical and haunting (but there are some upbeat numbers too), check it out if you aren't familiar.

I wish I was James Bond by kuwdora, ST: DS9. A super happy vid about Julian Bashir in all his adorable, awkward, dapper incarnations through DS9's run. I really identified with Julian when I was a geeky teenager, and it is wonderful to see a whole vid about him!

I loved it! This is the first film that I thought, "better than the book," but that's because I was ambivalent about the book. I loved the animation sequence particularly, very beautifully done! I loved the bit where they broke into the Ministry of Magic and Ron took his role *so* seriously, getting so very into character. That was my favorite. Good action scenes too. I really enjoyed this movie but thought that it's not really for kids, what with the scary snake leaping out at the screen, etc. Anyhow, recommended.



I also watched The Boondock Saints today and liked it, very over-the-top story about vigilante justice in Boston-- guns, mafia, violence, a strange sort of humor. It reminded me of a modern-day Western.

ROOMMATE AND I BOTH KNEW YOU WOULD LOVE THIS MOVIE!!

My favorite part was the near the beginning when the one brother threw the toilet off the building onto the one guy, and then JUMPED OFF the building. Oh yes I will be watching the sequel!

[laceblade]

THIS IS A MOVIE THAT I WATCHED CACKLING.

Unfortunately, I've heard that the sequel sucks; haven't seen it yet myself.

My favorite part was the cat, XD

[sasha_feather]

AHAHAAA THE CAT WAS AWESOME TOO. Also where they cauterize their wounds with the iron that Rock took from that apartment. And the rope! Oh, the movie definitely has re-watch potential.

As for the sequel, could always watch it to make fun of it.

[sasha_feather]

You should come over and we can all watch the sequel together!!!!

[laceblade]

I approve of this plan.

[the_andy]

Boondock Saints is a movie that I both recognize as horrible, yet will enjoy watching at any time.

[laceblade]

IF BY HORRIBLE, YOU MEAN BEAUTIFUL.

[chagrined]

I liked it better than the book, too.

[sasha_feather]

I have heard this from other people as well! I liked the visual spectacle of it all.

[marina]

AHAHAHA yes about HP7 and about Boondock Saints!

[sasha_feather]

Boondock Saints was so amazing!! And kind of Twincesty, come to think of it. There were so few women in it! The guys expressed no interest in women whatsoever. I sense a threesome with the Willem Dafoe character!!
