Current mood:

OMGWTF

Shine!
I know nothing about this; a friend of mine sent it to me and it promptly made my brain ache profoundly. Which meant I had to share it with you lot.

Fandom-ish insofar as the imagery will be instantly recognizable as having been drawn from Extruded Fantasy Product covers.

Behold, the video for "Shine" by Chris Dane Owens.

SFW, insofar as video is S for anyone's W.

	I kept expecting it to descend into a bad porn video... (Reply to this)

	I feel like I need an explanation as to why the entire Romance aisle of the bookstore just came alive and try to eat me. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	Hahaha. I did that too! (Reply to this)(Parent)

	... See, this confused me even more because I started this without sound. And the only song called "Shine" I could think of is by Ry Cooder. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	I thought of Shine by Mr. Big, AKA the ending theme of the Hellsing Gonzo anime. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I'm sorry, you appear to have linked to a trailer for tomorrow's Merlin episode by mistake. (And they appear to have replaced the principle cast, which is a shame because Bradley James is ADORABLE.) :D (Reply to this)

	I can just see this guy out in his backyard with his buddy holding the camera, combing through The Princess Bride for stage directions. Ouch. (The look-at-how-cool-this-is swordfight made me giggle. That would be doing it wrong, yes yes?) (Reply to this)

	tarash 2008-12-06 01:13 am UTC (link)
	Well, to be fair, it's not that much cheesier than Legend of the Seeker. (Reply to this)

	The guitar moments, I think, make it. (Reply to this)

	...when did they start making film versions of Labyrinth fanfic? (Reply to this)

	ingrid 2008-12-06 03:01 am UTC (link)
	Is that Richard Dryfuss stalking forward with him close to the end there? Or a Mickey Rooney look-a-like? His uber-blonde mullet is a whole lot more terrifying than those Halloween decorations, er, I mean award-winning FX dragons flying around. And that mustache ... dude, somewhere Cary Elwes is pointing and laughing, hard. (Reply to this)(Thread)

	_goblin_ 2008-12-06 03:35 am UTC (link)
	[S]omewhere Cary Elwes is pointing and laughing, hard. YES. THIS. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	kosaginolegion 2008-12-06 05:56 am UTC (link)
	For a brief moment I thought that WAS Cary Elwes. Then, as slow realization came that it was the singer.... I lost it. goes off to sleep, in hopes of finding it. Whatever 'it' is. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	miraba 2008-12-06 06:50 am UTC (link)
	Same here. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	The slow motion at the end added a special touch. I have to send this to my friends. (Reply to this)

	Ohmygod. I just watched that three times in a row. This is fabulous. I NEED A ROMANCE NOVEL BINGO CARD RIGHT THIS MINUTE. (Reply to this)

	OMG, it's the bad guy from Rock and Rule! (Reply to this)

	That video is the very definition of trainwreck syndrome. (Reply to this)

	Jesus Christ. Someone's been in a coma for the past twenty-five years and I do not think it was me. "IF WE MAKE EIGHTY PERCENT OF THE VIDEO CLOSE-UPS THEY WON'T BE ABLE TO TELL IT'S GREENSCREENED RIGHT?" And grabbing the sword... pah. (Reply to this)

	VICTOR VON DOOM DOES NOT APPROVE OF YOUR ROMANCE. (Reply to this)

	It bothers me SO MUCH that he's blond and his manstache is brunet. SO MUCH. It's like a romance novel got together with a fantasy novel and had an illegitimate uberchilde or something. Damn. (Reply to this)

	daisymay79 2008-12-13 06:51 pm UTC (link)
	I love the fact that the "hero" looks far more afraid of the woman he's supposed to be kissing than the dragons/exploding pirate ship/bitchiwitches in spandex... (Reply to this)
