Hey, Guys! Festivids! Festivids, Guys!

Festivids—a fanvid equivalent of Yuletide, where people anonymously make vids of smaller fandoms as gifts—went online today. There is some seriously awesome stuff in here.

Full list of vids

Some of the ones I love so far:

I'm not really a fan of the Johnny Cash version of "Hurt," but pairing it with Bruce Wayne circa Batman Beyond is brilliant.

Blade Runner + GnR's "November Rain." I just watched it a seconf time showing it to a friend and I like it even more.

I am a sucker for "Tik Tok" vids: Back to the Future, Scott Pilgrim

I have many fans of Danny Kaye's The Court Jester on my reading list.

The fact that I am able to make specific recommendations has a lot to do with the fact that I've only seen a few.

!!!!!

BTW, I don't know if you follow the Nerdfighters, but they did a YouTube video about tongue twisters back in December that is, like most of their videos, composed almost entirely of joy.

Hee! I've never heard of them but that was cute - I loved the part about tongue twisters in languages other than English.

And now you will know what the hell they're talking about every time another movie or show starts doing the Who's on First Pellet with the Poison routine! :D The slapstick fights and the goblet routines in this movie have seriously been referenced a ridiculous number of times.
