Preparatory Pushing of Festivids Fandoms!

[jetpack_monkey]

This is all trelkez's fault idea fault. In the month leading up to Festivids fandom nominations, we should list some of the fandoms/sources we're thinking about requesting, so we can all watch them ahead of time and go, "Hell yeah I could make a vid out of that" or "OMG THIS IS THE BEST, someone should make me a vid!" and then offer/request said fandoms.

Think of it as a festival of new fandoms. I will start off. You can leave your own potential requests in the comments here or make a post in your own journal. If you do post in your own journal, leave a link here. I will probably whip up some sort of masterlist if we have enough participants!

Fandoms/sources I am considering requesting:

After Hours (1985, film) -- Martin Scorsese (yup) directs a madcap everything-that-can-go-wrong-does comedy. It's awesome.
The Black Cat (1934, film) -- Boris Karloff and Bela Lugosi in a battle of wits fueled by vengeance.
Black Sunday (1960, film) -- Barbara Steele in a gorgeous Mario Bava movie.
Eyes without a Face (1960, film) -- French horror film that is both clinical and balletic at once.
The Howling (1981, film) -- Werewolves. Fuck yeah.
Kolchak: The Night Stalker (1974, TV) -- X-Files before there were X-Files.
Lisa and the Devil (1973, film) -- Another Bava film. Trippy as all hell (and just as problematic, admittedly). Gorgeous and macabre.
Modern Times (1936, film) -- Charlie Chaplin FTW.

Leave your own lists in the comments or in a post in your own journal (and leave me a link in the comments so I can track it)!

I should totally do this but I have no idea what I want to request yet besides No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency and maybe Minority Report!

[jetpack_monkey]

Both excellent and interesting choices! I'd love to see what a Festividder could do with either!

[rhivolution]

Now that I think about it, I've also been meaning to rewatch Children of Dune, and I do own the DVD. (Considering fandom's McAvoy love lately, maybe it'd be too welcome?)

[trelkez]

I'm still thinking about what I want to push on people before festivids! So many possibilities, I need to focus down. I'll comment with a link when I get something up.

Fantastic! This is all your fault, after all.

The only thing so far I know I'm going to nominate is Mark Reads / Watches. His flail should be vidded.

What is this Mark Reads/Watches thing? Link?

[fizzyblogic]

It is basically an adorable dude flailing bodily over things. Mark Reads (he's currently doing Good Omens), Mark Watches (currently Buffy and Angel), his video reviews are on youtube and vimeo. His reactions are precious *____*

I am going to nominate and request those PBS adaptations of Tony Hillerman's Chee/Leaphorn novels. Wes Studi is awesome, and Hillerman's endless passages about landscape and weather translated into gorgeous scenery. (And at ~6 hours, it's a manageable amount of footage while still having enough to be easily viddable.)

I'll probably also request my usual assortment of tv shows that people are not actually going to watch before signups (Miami Vice, Wiseguy, probably CSI: Miami).

And I have just acquired the first three seasons of Charlie's Angels, so I'll probably be nominating that.

Big Wolf On Campus. It is basically Teen Wolf, except campier, even more homoerotic (I KNOW), and it aired on Fox Family instead of MTV. And there are a few episodes starring Corey Haim and Corey Feldman.

Just to start... :)

(re: the village-destroying murderers and rapists] "On the flight all of us took a very democratic vote and we decided to return Ponce and Rumano to El Salvador. Or maybe it was Nicaragua. Hard to tell from ten thousand feet.")
