Tl;dr: Stuff and things
May. 23rd, 2016 07:57 pm☆ TO TOP EVERYTHING OFF, I've come down with a headcold. Ugh, fml. This is just peachy. And by peachy I mean jfc, why.
☆ I am seriously considering writing fic of Dami Im's "Gladiator" music video. Or like, adding it to my list of stuff to potentially request for Yuletide or something. ...I mean hey, that song + that video is basically begging for fantasy knight/princess femslash to be written, far's I'm concerned. ;p Ehhh we will see what comes of this. (And noooo it's not too early to be thinking about Yuletide, what are you talking about, if I don't write a list down then by the time it's actually time to think about it, I'll be sitting there stunned and unable to remember anything that I want!)
☆ I can not brain, so I've been doing very little except sitting here knitting and watching old horror movies that I downloaded from archive.org. Not gonna lie, Grave of the Vampire certainly is... interesting... in a very "1970s B-rate horror movie" sort of way. Vampire pregnancy? Ooookay. Pretty cracktacular. But there were some things that were interesting in concept, if not execution. (Reluctant to go into detail there because hella' spoilers, but yeah.) Another film that I watched was the 1910 short of Frankenstein. Silent era films are always pretty fascinating for me - there's this sensation of, holy shit, this film is over 100 years old, and here I am, watching it. Anyway, this film - it's worth watching for the creation scene alone; the way they did it is pretty cool. And in some other parts, there were some really neat filming/composition/framing choices. But mostly, this just reminded me that I should totally watch more silent film. I just find early cinema so fascinating.
☆ Speaking of horror movies, I managed to catch VVitch this past Friday with the horror movie gang. It's pretty good, I thought; I liked it a lot, anyway. It's more of a quiet, atmospheric kind of story about a family dealing with loss and getting drawn in by a supernatural evil, rather than in-your-face horror. Normally I'm not crazy about films that deal with witchcraft (of the "worshipping Satan and dancing around a fire while naked" sort) but I found this one pretty interesting in spite of that. It's well worth a watch, I think.
And in fire news....
