I am sorry, I am still being all intermittent, but life, stuff, you know. But I have watched some

festivids offerings already and must share, even though I haven't nearly finished.

So, far, I have loved:

You Might Think - completely adorable Pushing Daisies Ned/Chuck vid of not touching (because death, you know how it is), which instantly just made me want to rewatch PD all over again.

That Don't Impress Me Much - C.J. being very unimpressed at all her male colleagues, really great fun.

Our House - a Ghosts vid! I really enjoyed the series last year, and this definitely captures the madness.

Victorious, for Moulin Rouge. I was so curious when I saw it about what someone would do with MR, given the nature of it, and this was just great, shifting the tone with the choice of music, but simultaneously staying really true, and v dramatically edited.

Body Talks, Fred Astaire & Ginger Rogers, just delightful.

Plus, I have now accidentally done

snowflake_challenge Day 8 (rec at least three fanworks you didn't create). \o/

And I haven't by any means finished yet with

festivids yet, but I can't watch too many things in a row.

The CJ and Astaire&Rogers ones made my day! Thanks!

Nice Fred and Ginger vid:D

There were two! I just haven't watched the other one yet, but given

festivids, it is probably also awesome.

Aw, my pleasure! And there were actually 2 Fred & Ginger vids, but i've only watched the one yet. Knowing

festivids, they're probably both excellent.

Given my love of OG Horrible Histories, I really want to see Ghosts, but the likelihood of this happening legally seems pretty slim. 😩

I have investigated, and somebody has made a "Xanadu" vid. I am in awe. I haven't watched it, though I probably will, but "Xanadu" of all things! I don't know whether to be impressed or terrified. Although it's given me an Olivia Neutron-Bomb earworm, so I'm currently slightly annoyed as well.

The obligatory "Newsies" too, I see. The film that nobody outside of the internet is even aware exists, and yet half of the internet adores it like a first born child. I have no idea why!

Festivids is great at showing the sheer diversity of fandom. It's one of the things I like about it.

Yay for vid recs! I'll have to check these out when I'm not in a public place (my earphones aren't plugging in properly for some reason *sad face*).

Woe, I need a password.

For the Ginger/Fred vid, anyway, but the others came through. I MUST SEE GHOSTS! That looks like so much fun.

The vid will have the password in the post - otherwise I wouldn't have been able to watch it! (Vimeo-posted vids usually do.)

Duh, there it is, thank you. Now I have to watch my Fred & Ginger movies!

Aw, shame. I know the feeling from the other way around!

festivids is just always so awesome. I'm glad you found the Simon & Simon one because I thought of you instantly when I saw it!

Ha, yes, that won't really help.

Hee, have fun! <3

As it turns out, the "Xanadu" one is worth watching. It's a fraction of the length of the film, obviously, which makes it infinitely easier to watch! Also it skips out all the plot, and mostly focuses on Gene Kelly being unexpectedly gay. Minimal dancing though, sadly.

I should imagine it would! :-D

I watched the Untitled Goose Game one, which was cute and funny and now I at least know what everyone is on about in exchanges without having to go play a random goose game.

Ta, I shall have to nosy at the other one:)
