Notes: Premiered at Vividcon Challenge 2012.

This had an amazing reaction at the show. I was so, so happy that people got what I was trying to do here (or, failing that, found it amusing). I could not have done it without the usual suspects of [personal profile] echan, [livejournal.com profile] diannelamerc, and [livejournal.com profile] lizbetann (and brand-new usual suspect [personal profile] anoel).

You can blame this whole vid on my co-workers, who would incessantly play this song until it wormed its way into my head and I thought, you know... you could use this. You could use it to say something about maybe, like, a director or something... And this happened.

Vid of the con for me - just. Yes.

Okay, so you had me at the "jack sparrow" and "Kiera knightly" inserts and then the Goodfella's reactions, all of that was just expertly done and timed and I appreciated the craftmanship in that.

But then Jesus was Forrest Gump and I just lose it. I start to gain it back and then suddenly this whole towns a pussy just waiting to get fucked and I'm gone again and then and then I think it is safe and nope. Shutter island. Just. Wow.

Totally brilliant. Tho I am glad I subjected various con-going people to the original Lonely Island vid as soon as I saw this on the program, in the hopes that you would make it pay off. And you did. Context is everything, and this made me laugh til I cried. *g*

Oooh, thanks for that! Between that and the Hugo vid in Premieres, I'm really glad that there was proper groundwork laid down!

I haven't seen a single one of these movies, but I've watched this several times now and it's still hilarious. Brilliant execution of a concept that I definitely wouldn't expect to work.

As I mentioned to someone above, I recommend everything but Age of Innocence (and I only sort of recommend Shutter Island).

I'm glad you liked it!
