I am experiencing doctor's appointment anxiety, and I am not ready for festivids to be over. Also, I was so overwhelmed by the whole festivids experience that I am just now getting to watch my vids made made for me obsessively. So we are going to discuss, in detail, why the vids I got for me are AWESOME. (more expansive rec list still in the works). Let us examine.
We have Die Die Die. Did you notice that this pairs Die Hard with Metallica? Right there we have achieved awesome right out of the gate before we even hit play, y'all. Also, see the credits. \o/ \o/ Second, we are using the vastly underappreciated second movie in the franchise. And festividder reminds us quite nicely that there was a whole lotta asskicking going on. If you didn't laugh out loud at the icicle in the eye on 'shut your pretty eyes'? I DO NOT WANT TO KNOW YOU, OKAY? See also, shut your pretty mouth. And then? A PLANE BLOWS UP. Complete with yippeekiyay motherfucker. And John McClane goes flying through the air. I keep finding myself going back and hitting play a LOT and then getting sad there is not more.
Next we have Live or Die (perhaps you are sensing a theme?). We have an entirely different, but also appropriate song choice here in which John McClane can't decide, so he'll just kill, blow shit up, and stalk Hans Gruber a lot until he does. Please note the best Angry Face ever at 1:29, because it will never not make me fall off my chair laughing. Lock the doors and close the blinds, kids...we're going for a ride.
And then, then we have the vid I didn't even dare hope for, and yet here it is. Don't Ask. A Facts of Life vid. A Jo/Blair Facts of Life vid. I'm still trying to be coherent. Blair totally checks Jo out when they first meet! There is snark and banter! Hair flipping! Hilarious faces! PRISON! Almost married dude who doesn't stand a chance when there is Blair coming to the rescue! I. Just. Baby's first femmslash brought back in all it's glory in vid form. FOR ME.
In conclusion, I win festivids.
