Just ignore us... we're being silly!
yokiem and I were being silly and came up with a new summary for my latest vid gethsemane... [Should be read in a pompous voice, a sour expression, much eyebrow action and head wobbling. Or read it as a gospel preacher...that cracks me up too.]
An intensely beautiful character study in which one man, Sam Winchester, struggles with his inner demons, his tragic past and future fate. Should he look to god for redemption or is he already in the sway of the darker forces? Why should he die? Must he end his life in order to save his brother, Dean? For surely if he doesn't, his brother may have to kill him and this would surely destroy his own soul in the process. Never has there been a vid with more angst, painful expression and the odd bit of wicked beat use. Don't miss this masterpiece!
*giggles and runs away*
Now with two new piss-take reviews:
Boys will be boys - vid by

Starrylizard is a virtuoso of vidding who seems to particularly excel in creating gut-wrenching, soul-aching masterpiece angst vids. "Boys Will Be Boys" is probably her crowning achivement in this field...
John Sheppard: Intergalactic man of mystery - vid by

Derry667 has a nack of pulling at my heartstrings and she's done it again with this masterful character study of Lt Col. John Sheppard...

Re: You realise this is vid war now...
Fave bit?
The voice-overs present in the musical material provide a running dialogue that is hard hitting and serves to hammer home the main themes of lost love, despair and the unending search for happiness in all the wrong places.
So true. So very, very true. I'm so glad that someone FINALLY gets the true meaning of this vid. Your insight is humbling. Really.
I'd love to start a journal on this. People could nominate their vids to have the piss taken out of them. We could call it not_the_reel! :P
OOOOOOH!!! So very, very tempting! We could be heroes! (if just for one day) But d'ya think it's just possible that we might offend the organisers of other vidding communities?
And yet the idea appeals to me so very much!
*grits teeth against temptation*

I say, if you think you're up for starting/running a comm like that, you should!

Get thee behind us with your vile temptation!

LOL!! Oh come on, you know you want to! That would be awesome! In fact, I volunteer all of my vids for you to poke fun at and be very snarky about. It would be fun. It would be kinda like the time a friend of mine did a Mystery Science Theater 3000 take on this (admitedly bad) fic I wrote back when I used to be really active in Highlander fandom. She was worried that I'd be offended when she asked me if she could do it, but it was hilarious.

I'm not sure if I've ever seen any of your vids before. Where do you have them stashed? :)
From:
Re: Personally, I think you should give in to temptation
You can find them there. They're all Stargate Atlantis, except for one Pirates of the Caribbean vid that I made last year.

I especially like Vertigo, with it's artfully retelling of how the Earther's managed to peacefully and happily integrate with their Pegasus Galaxy neighbours. Such a sweet and fluffy vid.

We're still making sure the people over at the_reel aren't offended by our sillyness, but otherwise I was going to post it as the next review at

Maybe if you have a post in your LJ, I could use that link and then people could leave you lovely feedback? :D

Oh and weirdly the link works here at work. Must be my home firewall chucking a wobbly again.
