sadness in children's movies?
So I just started working on a "Lion King" vid because the muse struck. And it got me thinking. "The Lion King" is so sad. I can barely watch that scene with Simba realizing his dad is dead without tearing up a little. The same goes for "The Land Before Time" and "The Snowman."But the funny thing is, I watched these things all the time as a kid and ( Read more... ) -
my thoughts on yaoi and by that i mean charles/erik
I'm in a very X-Men mood tonight. Or really, a Charles/Erik mood, since that is my main interest in X-Men in the first place. Not that it's not a cool premise in general with lots of neat stuff going on, but those two, with their irreconcilable philosophies, their old friendship, their longstanding opposition of each other but continued respect, ( Read more... ) -

Meeting up with old friends -- best friends from times past -- is sort of like reading AU fanfic, in a way.

I know exactly what I want
A few months ago I declared the song "Helplessness Blues" by Fleet Foxes to be my theme song for this post-grad school... thing. And that's still true. But I came across what I think must be the antithesis of that song (which, also happens to be accompanied by a fricking amazing "Iron Man" fanvid):

X-Men First Class fan-vid recommendation
I watched the new X-Men movie about a week ago. I guess I feel kind of compelled to check out all the budding new fandoms popping up this summer. Not that the X-Men fandom is new by any means, but the slashy/angsty potential of a young Magneto and Professor X is pretty irresistible and has brought new blood to the fandom. There are quite a lot of ( Read more... ) -
