Thanks to everyone who has been posting such excellent Vividcon recs and con reports! It's definitely another bumper crop this year, with lots of innovative, ambitious, self-reflexive, and just plain fun vids.

For the moment, I'm just going to rec one vid: bananainpyjamas aka dragonchic's stunning Wanted vid, Break Teen Spirit in Four Minutes. The editing is just fantastic -- some of dragonchic's best work, and that's saying a lot. I haven't seen the movie, and now I'm really tempted to, but I doubt that it can live up to the vid.

I should tell you that this vid is incredibly addictive -- I've watched it at least twenty times* already, and it's gotten so I can't leave home in the mornings without another fix viewing (luckily my boss is on vacation, so I don't have to explain why I keep arriving late to work). So don't say I didn't warn you!

* Er, come to think of it, it's actually more like thirty or forty....

That vid is awesome--much more awesome than the actual movie, which had its moments but fell apart for me.

Yeah, I figured that I would've heard if the movie had been really good. (By the way, I appreciate all the vid recs that you've been posting.)

It really really wasn't:) And no problem! There's more coming eventually.

Thanks for that rec - holy crap, it's like a hot-violence-and-fudge-sundae. Did she do the mashup too?

Ha, I know!

She mentioned in the comments that she thought she got the mashup from Titus Jones, who I'll definitely be checking out.
