So, [personal profile] sinesofinsanity showed me the trailer for Sucker Punch Saturday morning. We said things like "A Series of Unfortunate Events" and "One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest" and "her face" and "video games" and "explosions" at each other and then [personal profile] sinesofinsanity looked it up on imdb and wiki and we gleefully repeated phrases like "female ensemble cast", "Alice in Wonderland", "1950s" and "baby dragon". So, essentially: young women, action-fantasy, explosions. I'm looking forward to it.

Kind of in response to some things that are being watched and the ridiculously good mood that [personal profile] sinesofinsanity sent me off in Saturday: vid recs.

Suddenly I See by [personal profile] kuwdora
Castle
One of the things that's great about Castle is that its lead is surrounded by awesome women. This is a vid about three women in Castle's life and his relationship with each of them. It is an exceptionally happy thing and wonderful. I really like the way city shots are used in the song's intro and the way the song is divvied up. There are very distinct sections that flow really well. I like the way each woman gets approximately equal billing time and the content itself is joyous and fun.

Doctor Who/Torchwood
This is a hilarious and wonderful tribute to new Who companions. It's another one of those vids that uses its song really well. [livejournal.com profile] obsessive24 uses a bootlegged version of the song that has all of these DJ voice-overs meant to prevent bootlegging, so there's a bit of potential inherent in the song for things to have gone rather pear-shaped in the vidding process. This is not so, instead the vid is made exponentially more awesome by the inclusion of all of these extraneous bits. The majority of the vid is a lovely tribute to the female companions and then there are these glorious bits with Jack that enhance it; it's a really fun piece.

Five Years' Time by [personal profile] such_heights
Doctor Who
So this is the part where I admit that I ship Amy/Rory something furious because they are both awesome and they are adorable together. This is a ship vid and it is amazing. It is gloriously happy-making and captures the pairing incredibly well. There's best friends, squabbling, laughing, fumbling, epicness, and love throughout along with this great scrapbook of time feel born out of the use of stills opening and closing. It's incredibly joyful.
(Song: Five Years' Time by Noah and the Whale)

So did you see this Sucker Punch/Disney princesses mash-up thing on YouTube? EPIC.
