skygiantsI'm so pleased with my gift for this year's Festivids! I got The Journey, a really well-edited vid which gets at a ton of what I find so fascinating about the 1956 version of Anastasia - the dense atmosphere and deep psychological ambiguity of it.
So you should all take three minutes out of your life to watch that, and then if you have some more vid-watching time to spare here under the wire before reveals tomorrow are a few other things from the collection that I liked:
Goodbye, a gorgeously creepy vid for The Innocents (which is a 1961 movie based on The Turn of the Screw, for those unfamiliar)
Tail As Old As Time, My Cat From Hell, THEY'RE ALL GOOD CATS
Glass Coffins, a Carmen Sandiego Classic vid that is beautifully full of HIGH DRAMA and yet also somehow poignant??
All Star, The Good Place, an absolute standout featuring Manny Jacinto's absolutely standout face
Ninefox, a beautifully weird and wonderful book vid that does a stellar job capturing the beautifully weird and wonderful Machineries of Empire books
A whole slew of really delightful Ocean's 8 vids, but I'm going to call out (Don't See) Too Many Rivals Now for having the coolest arc and cutting, and Lift for making the visuals feel fresh after watching four other vids
In Another Life, a Ginger Snaps vid that fills me with jealousy for extremely successfully vidding the one Vienna Teng song I would never have been able to figure out how to vid to
Supernova, which is very much the kind of vid I hoped someone would make out of the Wrinkle in Time film
Little Bit More, just a really well-done vid that showcases all the things that one likes about Killing Eve if one likes Killing Eve
Prove It On Me, a paean to the most dapper lesbian in Miss Fisher's Murder Mysteries
Dance To Another Tune, which makes me want to watch the rest of the first season of The Runaways
smile (the worst is yet to come), which suffused me with fond Dead Like Me nostalgia
Sisters of the Moon, a love letter to the heroines of Hidden Figures
Miss Me With The Bullshit, which I have watched multiple times already despite the fact that I've never seen The Expanse because the character has such a good face
And relatedly, Soldier definitely depicts a perfect lesbian soldier/politician show that I tragically suspect is not quite what The Expanse actually is
However, I get the feeling that Crazy, Classic Life is very much what the actual show Pose is and I'm one thousand percent here for it -- this vid is just beautiful
And now I have to go fall over but there's a whole bunch of other great stuff in the collection as well that I didn't have time to shout out!
