Double-day-posting, yes, but because organizing all this in one would have been evil.

A while back I started looking into 21 Jumpstreet - which I missed out watching through no fault of my own (i.e. waaay to young). Peter DeLuise looks gorram familiar, yet his filmography rings no bells. Maybe its just his resemblance to Dave Coulier of Full House? (No, not the hot uncle (have mercy!).).

I’ve now seen a few clips (including this hilarious bit of slash-innuendo**).

However, I think I could forgive this show any number of shortcummings due to this most beautiful bit of writing:

Off. Judy Hoffs: How many times have you seen this?
Off. Tom Hanson: 122 times, but I don't watch the whole tape. I watch 3.3 seconds. 3.3 seconds that slipped through my fingers. 3.3 seconds where I could've done a thousand different things, but I didn't move. Do you know how many things you can do in 3.3 seconds? You can take off your shoes, pop a beer and shoot someone in 3.3 seconds.
Off. Judy Hoffs: Come on, Hanson.
Off. Tom Hanson: You can hold your finger down on the remote control and pass 17 stations in 3.3 seconds. You can open a can of tuna fish, shuffle and bridge a deck of cards, or twist the tops off six bottles of ginger ale in 3.3 seconds.
Off. Judy Hoffs: Hanson, please!
Off. Tom Hanson: You can ring a doorbell 22 times, lock and unlock a deadbolt four times, or sing the entire alphabet in 3.3 seconds.

I think I need to watch a clip of this because Tom Hanson’s played by JDepp and if the words bring me to tears, I can only imagine what his performance will bring me to.

Shocked sobbing, most likely.

Particularly since this really, really short music vid also brings me to near-tears. (And makes me really want to watch the ep. Which is, apparently, called "Swallowed Alive". Fanvid here.)

Incidently, JDepp has been in various music videos (as opposed to just fanvids), such as Tom Petty’s Into the Great Wide Open, Lemonheads’ It's A Shame About Ray and Shane MacGowan and the Pope’s That Woman's Got Me Drinking.

He and a whole boat-load of other celebrities appear in Johnny Cash’s God’s Gonna Cut You Down.

Careful when watching this vid. The first time I did, I sat still for a while in emotional shock. *hold me* If there’d been willing arms, I would have asked them to***. That is one harrowing song. (Except don’t read the comments, which descend into a cesspool of atheism vs religion. It’ll make you tear your hair out and scream, “Oh the humanity!”)

Having realized through all this that there’s more on YouTube than fanvids, I also looked up Daniel Belanger and Cowboys Fringants out of Montreal-yearning. There’s not much on Belanger, but I found the Cowboy Fringant's Toune d’Automne and have been listening to it non-stop. I’d forgotten how much I loved this song. *sings* Anyway, je suis content que tu r'viennes, t'arrives en meme temps que l'automne. I miss Quebec!

By the by, Wolf4life fanvid editor (she of “Shut Me Up”) is quite good. She has this brilliant vid mixing of the films “The Brave” and “Bennie and Joon” (which I know I’ve watched but can’t remember a whit of) where she also mixes Green Day’s “Boulevard of Broken Dreams” and Oasis’ “Wonderwall”. Beautiful music results. Her From Hell’s It’s Been a While by Staind is neat. Currently, though, I'm hooked on The Libertine's Bitches. I cannot get enough of this song. Mindless Self Indulgence is winning me over! (Click to their webpage. OMG the octopus! the bunny!)

*** If I ever watch The Brave, I think I'll need some willing arms as well, considering how the very idea**** of the film makes me quiver.

Johnny Depp.... yum!!

I watched POTC the other day, which was a nice remedy for the mental disturbance I suffered from watching Logan's run (a creepy 1970's movie... lol, don't ask :p)

Was Logan's Run any good? (You mention "mental disturbance", but that may be a good thing. Dunno.) I've just skimmed the summary and don't know whether to mock it or be intrigued...

It's... interesting. There are some major plot holes, and it's *quite* campy. It does have a strange allure to it though! I was up really late at night, and started watching it; my reaction was pretty much WTF for the whole thing, but I couldn't get myself to turn the channel!!

lol, I think the mental disturbance came from the creepiness of the cinematography rather than the actual plot.

Looks pretty neat, and it's always amusing to watch what "futuristic" meant in the 70's and 80's.

That said, "Logan and the woman who loves him"?!? So he doesn't care squat about her? Grr.
