Vidshow:
Heavy MetalVJ: Destina
Timeslot: Saturday, 11 am
Description: Cars, guns, and robots: three delicious staples of the fannish diet.
1.
Pump It! by SDWolfpup. The Losers.
A burst of energy to start the show, and a perfect example of how to highlight the most kick-ass features of a movie that doesn't quite live up to its potential.
2
Around the Bend by Danegen. Multi.
A gorgeous tribute to and celebration of women and their cars, where cars, speed, and planes = freedom and opportunity.
3.
Dscs of Vlcty (Pts.OF.Athrty) by Mister Anderson. TRON.
Most people don't think of Tron as a robot movie, but I do. Tron takes place inside a machine, and the world is one of code and logic gone awry. This vid captures it well.
4.
Why Are You Here? (Living Dead Girl) by Prodigi. Wanted.
So you want to be an assassin? This vid captures how movies make a culture of forbidden violence both sexy and mesmerizing.
5.
Brick House by deirdre_c. Supernatural.
Dean Winchester is in love with his car. This is why.
6.
Radar by Greensilver. Die Hard.
Every action vid show needs a good dose of John McClane, the long-suffering, everyman badass.
7.
Thrown Away by Katheryn. I, Robot.
To become sentient is to risk feeling things. This is a poignant vid on that topic, with an unusual POV.
8
Super Bon Bon by gwyneth. Fast and Furious series.
Move aside and let the (men) go through in their fast cars.
9
狼 (Wolf) by Kay. 2002.
A great example of how a (mostly) unknown action movie source translates perfectly across language barriers.
10
Rock Star by Melanie. NCIS.
A fun vid in a fandom I don't usually think of as being packed with entertaining action vids. (
Vidder's website).
11 This Girl Is Taking Bets by Killa. Alias. (Link unavailable)
A hot woman with a gun who owns her sexuality - not as uncommon in media as it used to be, but still not as common as it should be.
12
Shock the Monkey by giandujakiss. Hawaii Five-0.
On the surface, this is a vid about Five-0 using full immunity and means, but when you look a bit more closely, it's about the way the show fetishizes and glamorizes violence. Because of the dual perspective, I couldn't resist including this vid.
13.
Running on the Ragged Edge (Elevation) by macchinainterna. Speed Racer (movie).
Sure, it's about cars, but it's also eye-popping and visually stunning.
14.
Unnatural Selection (Pussycats Gone To Heaven) by Charmax. BSG/Terminator/SCC.
The robots are coming, and they're going to wipe you out.
