"Man [has] always assumed that he was more intelligent than dolphins because he had achieved so much-the wheel, New York, wars and so on-while all the dolphins had ever done was muck about in the water having a good time. But conversely, the dolphins had always believed that they were far more intelligent than man-for precisely the same reason." – Douglas Adams

Vids that make me gasp, holler, sob, grin insanely or extract other miscellaneous emotion of note.


Now all the criminals in their coats and their ties
Are free to drink martinis and watch the sun rise
While Rubin sits like buddha in a ten-foot cell
An innocent man in a living hell.

TONGUE: Milo Ventimiglia's. (Why are you still even here?)

Sexyback: by dayln03. QaF. Hot, dirty, sexy vid of Brian Kinney. Had a bad day? Be you gay, straight or anything in between, this’ll make it better. I promise.


Battlestar Inferno: by SuperKC.
You think we watch Battlestar Galactica for the tangled web of politics, the apocalyptic vision of the human race, the philosphical exploration of what it means to be human or the life-threatening, bleak vision of the future and the human condition?
Pffffft. Nah. This is why.


Care to stay. By [livejournal.com profile] tearful_eye
Elegiac, heartrenching, with stunning editing. Multi-fandom vid dealing with depression and suicide that is mesmerizing and strangely beautiful considering its subject matter.


The Melodicatrix The infamous scene from The Matrix rescored with a melodica. Suprisingly and deviously FANTASTIC.


Kate Hewlett: singing for her brother.


Climbing Up The Walls: By [livejournal.com profile] obsessive24
Dark, disturbing examination of older/younger sibling relationships and incest in Supernatural, Heroes and Firefly. Totally suckerpunched me, not to mention fandom in general.


Heroes: Sin City
Heroes S1 trailer done in the form of the Sin City trailer. There was a Watchmen one up that was similarly chilling and generally hardcore awesome, but it seems to have disappeared.


Babyskin Tattoo, by Astandra Lay.
Brilliant multi-fandom look at male slash and homoerotic subtext. Both touching and violent by turns.


Brad Pitt’s Heineken Commercial.
Self-indulgent fun, with (I kid you not!) a moment of Brad/George-ness.

Serious Business. No, really.



Oh, father of the four winds, fill my sails, across the sea of years
With no provision but an open face, along the straits of fear
When I'm on, when I'm on my way, yeah

Dean Winchester Facts. By [livejournal.com profile] madam_rosmerta
He will mess your shit up. Seriously. A parody of the Chuck Norris facts, adapted to fit Dean Winchester. The two go together alarmingly and hilariously well.


Vice Guide to the Apocalypse: Helpful, insightful advice for the impending apocalypse(s).


The Ninja Logs: by [livejournal.com profile] of_evangeline.
SGA. Ninjas. Need I say more?


Illegal Zombie-Actor Cage Fighting: by [livejournal.com profile] jennyo.
BSG (among others) RPF. I just don’t even know how I’ve only just discovered this. I just … I can’t. I just can’t even describe it. Pure, maniacal genius.


How Rose Tyler took over the Universe. by [livejournal.com profile] irishlullaby.
Exactly what it sounds like. In macros.


The Dark Side: By [livejournal.com profile] astolatA Star Wars/SGA crossover in which John Sheppard is a laconic Sith Lord and Rodney McKay is an irascible Jedi.


Winchester Chibis! at[livejournal.com profile] the_dean_show.
Adorable, laugh-out-loud chibi comic strips of the Winchester Brothers. If you like Supernatural at all, your life will not be complete without having seen these.


Quote: Tony Stark:
“So there're six billion of us equipped with brains that evolved for small-tribe politics and skirmishes fought with sticks and stones. We keep outsmarting ourselves with our own technologies--social, political, scientific, whatever. We can't anticipate the future worth shit because our simulations always fail to take into account the wetware and the wetware doesn't have the connectivity or processing power to do the job.
The Fullest Possible Use: by [livejournal.com profile] samdonne. Iron Man (Tony Stark/Jim Rhodes)


Supernatural Secrets by [livejournal.com profile] stateofsin.
A secrets post done from the point of view of various characters from Supernatural. Some cute, some sexy, some gutwrenching.


Quote: “After sorting out the crisis in Darfur, creating peace in the Middle East, finding an alternative oil source in vegetable oil, and financing a cure for cancer, the President laughed off suggestions that he might need a vacation. "I'll sleep when Anderson says I can," the President joked of the First Gentleman. "Apparently, I still need to get global warming under control or I have to sleep on the sofa tonight."

David Mack: Sometimes harsh, heady vibrant images, sometimes dreamy and gorgeous. Potraits of fierce women and comic book characters, among other things.


Michael Gaydos
Dark, striking style that reminds me of Sandman, be it for the style, or the sense the style evokes. Gorgeous.

Kubicki’s DeviantArt.
Gorgeous, mind-breaking digital art. Haunting and not for the faint of heart.


The Angriest Dog in the World. By David Lynch.
A comic strip, but holy hell, what a comic strip.

Random and silly thoughts/moments that have occurred to me when exploring the crazy, crazy lands of Fandom.

The city's aflood
And our love turns to rust
We're beaten and blown by the wind
Trampled in dust
I'll show you a place
High on a desert plain
Where the streets have no name

Q&A:
What on earth do The Tenth Doctor's spectacles really do?

( If you could touch the alien sand or hear the cries of strange birds and watch them wheel in another sky...would that satisfy you? – Doctor Who.)

Best fictional meeting, ever, no?

PEPPER POTTS & BLAIR WALDORF (By god, think of the shoes!)

(+POSH SPICE.)

Icons everyone should have: For they represent iconic, earth-shattering, highly political, mind-breakingly intellectual, revolutionary moments in pop-culture. Ha. You think I’m kidding. Let's wait 900 years, and then we'll see who was right.


1) 'THIS IS SPARTA!' (Leonidas, 300)

2) "Also, I can kill you with my brain.' (River Tam, Firefly)

(I found the following on a sticky buried deep on my desktop, and cannot even remember writing it. May very well have been a drunken moment of sheer stupidity. Or was it genius?)


“VID IDEA:
WINCHESTERS BROTHERS TO "PRETTY FLY FOR A WHITE GUY" !!!*&@*%#^*&@*!&!!! FITS PERFECTLY!!!!ELEVENTY!”

Does this monstrosity/sublimely-ironic-piece-of-media exist anywhere?

QUOTE:

GQ: Have you met Obama? What do you make of him?

Aaron Sorkin:
The first time I met Barack Obama—I should say the only time I’ve met Barack Obama—was a year ago, when he was doing fifty-person-cocktail-party fund-raisers. He flattered me by saying, “My intention is to steal a lot of your lines.” My prediction is he’s just going to blow the doors off the place in Denver. This is a man who—the Jeremiah Wright of it all aside—was clearly paying attention in church. I don’t need to tell you that I’m a big fan of oratory. A big part of leadership is the goose-bump experience. We’ve been missing that.

There is some sort of internet thing I should say here, something about liking your ideas and wanting your newsletter. But anyway. I like these links

And here is Dean as Indiana Jones. It is fantastic: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ivZLB4F9Ta8.
