Just a random collection of links to videos that I found to be good.
Gravity of Utena
The above is one of the few Utena videos I've seen on par with the Bachelorette video. Had the pleasure of finding it before last year's dragon*con and seeing it, then watching as the amv track's audience was collectively awed during d*con itself.
(If the download doesn't work, I can provide it to anyone interested, assuming you have AIM and so forth. contact me at chibipoe@RemoveTHISmindspring.com)

Pop-Up Excel
An Excel vid done Pop-Up video style. What more needs to be said?
I know there's more, but from skimming this part of the forum, I think they've been covered. Apologies if these have been recommended before.

Rubyeye Pictures
Anybody seen any of these? He produces some WONDERFUL videos. I especially recommend the Bastard!! video set to Kamelot - Karma. Wonderfully done video. The others are all excellent as well, but Dark Legacy(I think that's the title) has to be my favorite.
The Threshold - Phenomenon video to Princess Nine is his latest, and is superb as well.
Adding: That's an...interesting picture at the top of his bio. o.o

Hi, I'm chibipoe. Or Poe, or Alan, depending on where and who I'm talking to. Been lurking for a few days and finally got to read all of DW2 that is currently available. Screamed MORE! at the end of 14.
I am a fan of various anime, up to and including MKR, Sailor Moon, Read or Die, to name but a few(the full list is just way too big, I think).
I am also an avid reader of just about anything that strikes my fancy. This mostly seems to be well-written fanfiction and the odd fantasy novel of late, though.
Um. I watch genre tv from time to time. I think I know at least one person who posts here from other places, but that's about it.
I am also an aspiring writer, currently working on a piece of fanfiction related to Sailor Moon, having been inspired by recent rewatchings of the S season.
I think that about covers it all, except for one thing...
Bob, can I be a prereader? "This hand of mine glows with an awesome power. Its burning grip tells me to defeat you....

I would pay a lot to see "Fat" as an area-affect song. Mass breakout of obeisity...

Oh, hey! What's this here? Why, it appears that one of our fellow DW fans has written yet another DW fanfic ( www.eclipse.net/~rms/dw-scbd.html ). And, hmm, it seems to be having Doug crossing into the Slayers world.
Well, now. For such a short set-up chapter ( www.eclipse.net/~rms/dw-scbd.html ), it's not half bad. I mean, there's not much story here, and Doug's a bit off, but at least the story ( www.eclipse.net/~rms/dw-scbd.html ) is better than thirty, possibly even forty per cent of what's on Fanfiction.net. Or at the very least, spelled "scintillating" correctly and is vaguely familiar with grammar.

Who wonders if he should get pre-readers for this . . .

...appears to be dead again. In fact, it seems to have been out of commission for a while. Does anyone remember when last time they saw a rotating quote on the DW main page was?
Thanks.

And all the girlies say I'm pretty dry for a wet guy...

Many changes and revisions have been made to the site today; the most signficant is the inclusion of a section for GURPS Shapeshifters under "My Worlds". There's also a new DW fanfic by Murmur the Fallen: Slayers: Charm, Beauty, Destruction. As always, there's a summary on the top page of the site, which you can reach with the "Access Denied!" link at the bottom of the page.

SPOKEN: SUNG:Something in the moonlight catches my eyeThe shadow of a lover goes dancing byLooking for a little bit of love to grow,so give me love, give me heart and soul.You never let me cross to the other side nowI'm tied to the hope that you will somehowHard on the heels of something more,but I lost your love, heart and soul.The tear in my heart as you walk on by. More than an oceanI feel so low and your head is high.Everything you do convinces me more Keeps us apartPlease give me love, give me heart and soulLooking to the day when I saw your face I feel a tearingWasn't in the running, I wasn't in the race in half of my heartYou moved in a way that I'd known before,Now I want your love, heart and soulTired eyes, tears that dried Leaving you ain't easy now,on the bed on the pillow where you told your lies but loving you's the harder partA turn of the key, my blood runs cold You never want me for myselfDon't look back to hurt me more And I've needed you right from theEverything you said was to the point Very startOh won't you even try to... Oh won't you even try to...CHORUS (sung):Give a little bit of heart and soulGive a little bit of love to growGive a little bit of heart and soulAnd don't you make me beg for moreGive a sign I need to knowA little bit of heart and soulWalking on the water, walking on the air A walk on the water, ooh,That was the heart of the love we sharedDo you keep a secret left untold Is all that I need,So you can't give love heart and soul?I used to have a lover with the midas touch, But miracles are not happening.I turned to gold but he turned to dust.Left me for another, I turned to stone.Now give me love, heart and soul.Tired eyes, tears that dried Living in a fantasy,On the bed on the pillow where you told your lies There's never any room to breathe.A turn of the key through the door you go. Hoping every waking hourDon't look back to hurt me more. You'll turn around and say that we can startEverything you said just said it all.Can't you try to... Oh won't you even try to...CHORUS (sung):Give a little bit of heart and soulGive a little bit of love to growGive a little bit of heart and soulAnd don't you make me beg for moreGive a sign I need to knowA little bit of heart and soulSomehow, I lost my wayLooking to see something in your eyesBut love will never compromiseNow this is the politics of lies, yeahGive a little bit of heart and soulGive a little bit of love to growGive a little bit of heart and soulAnd don't you make me beg for moreGive a sign I need to knowA little bit A little bitGive a little bit of heart and soulGive a little bit of love to growGive a little bit of heart and soulAnd don't you make me beg for moreGive a sign I need to knowA little bit A little bit(Repeat and fade)

Then the horns kicked in...
...and my shoes began to squeak.

okay I know it might not be a good idea but...I had a very weird idea on my drive to college to take my exam finals.
What happens when doug uses his power from "lightning hand" in the MATRIX universe.
I mean... well the ability to hack the matrix directly? able to jump into the matrix without jacking in? all other assorted weird things? oh yeah also the ability to shoot down sentinels?

Obviously Doug would have to run across these during one of his steps -- they're too new otherwise. But one of them surely has to be sufficient to give him the ability to create duct tape out of thin air. Perhaps it's not the best song for superheroing, but it surely would have its uses.
We've already seen an application of Paul Simon's "Kodachrome." And if Doug found himself barefoot at one end of a blacktop parking lot in the summer, he might want to use Nancy Sinatra's "These Boots Are Made For Walking." Passage on trains, planes, etc. could probably be had -- for someone else -- via The Beatles' "Ticket to Ride." Should home renovations be in order, there's "I Am Downright Amazed What I Can Destroy with Just a Hammer" by Atom and His Package. Formal wear for a few minutes could be had with ZZ Top's "Sharp Dressed Man." (though that one will result in a lot of attention given the lyrics)
Unfortunately The Smith's "There is a Light That Never Goes Out," Coldplay's "Clocks," Pink Floyd's "Have a Cigar," and Paul Simon's "Slip Sliding Away" all have somewhat misleading titles, and probably wouldn't be very useful.
