This vid probably doesn't merit discussion, after all, it's just a dance vid for a dance-to-vids show at a con, but I have things to say about it! In fact, I may even try out the Critical Commons space with it, since it has big underlying themes and stuff. This final version differs quite a bit from the vid shown at Club Vivid and on the VVC discs because I didn't have access to the stuff I needed before the deadline. I also had to fix a bunch of clips from Twin Peaks and Kids in the Hall.

Thinky thoughts )

It takes a village: Many people loaned me media or helped on this, but I especially want to shout out to [profile] montana_harper for the amazing volume of stuff she loaned me, and [personal profile] mrs_laugh_track and [personal profile] belmanoir for the clips that went way above and beyond the call of duty; and once again, I have to thank [personal profile] marycrawford for her heroism in helping me navigate the waters of Hercules.

It's a drag

I have this vid idea I keep noodling with, for much farther down the line, that involves drag queens and kings. I want to make it multimedia, and I've compiled a list in my head on movies I want to include. Can you think of more? They should ideally have more than just a quick one-off scene of someone in drag, and it would be super bonus points if it involved a straight person having some kind of attachment or personal interactions to the person in drag.

So far I've got:
Priscilla, Queen of the Desert
To Wong Foo...
Flawless
Sweet November (though that really is only one scene, so it's iffy)
The Birdcage (even though I really hate this movie)
Some Like It Hot
Tootsie
Just One of the Guys
Shakespeare in Love
Twelfth Night (not sure which version)
Yentl (I can barely stand the thought of it, but... there aren't that many movies of women in drag)

It seems like, sadly for my purposes, most of the women in drag movies are period or costume drama, and I wish it weren't so. I realize I can also include Rocky Horror, though I'm not sure I want to. And I'd love to have *good* movies rather than some Z-grade thing that no one knows about -- the more familiar to a wide fannish audience, the better. And please don't say Mrs. Doubtfire. I will have to kill you.
