Vid Recs -- Recut movie trailers

  • Jul. 12th, 2007 at 1:46 PM

First, there's something I have to admit up front: I'm not a fan of tv vids.  Seriously, I see all these vid recs floating around for various fandoms and I check them out and I just don't get the appeal.  Clearly there's something I'm missing, but vids tend to leave me cold.  All of which boils down to this: you aren't going to see much in the way of vid recs here and when you do, it's probably not going to be in any of my fanfic fandoms.

That said, OMG, I've just discovered the coolest vids *ever*!  They're all based around the same conceit: movie trailers that are completely misleading.  For example, a well-known horror movie recut into a romantic comedy trailer.  Or a children's movie edited to look like it's actually a horror movie.  Gah.  I can't explain in such a way that truly encompasses the awesomeness of seeing a trailer of When Harry Met Sally as a psycho thriller, so I'm just going to give you the link and tell you to check it out.  Trust me, you'll get a laugh out of it.

All of the vids below are on YouTube.

When Harry Met Sally -- the Horror Remix

Shining (The Shining as a romantic comedy)

Scary Mary (Mary Poppins as you've never seen her before!)

Sleepless in Seattle (apparently romantic comedies are just rife with horror cliches...)

I don't think you got it from the same person's LJ where I saw them mentioned. Or do you read Mirabella? She's got nothing to do with any TV fandoms, she's heavy into anime just now.

BTW, the Scary Mary trailer reminded me that when I watched that movie as a little girl I was scared near to death by the scene where all the other nannies were blown away... :bibber:

Um, I don't think I've heard of Mirabella, but if she's heavily into anime, I might be interested. I'm desperate for some useful anime recs.

Well, I cannot really recomend her as a person because imo she's a queen bitch and royal pain in the ass - I just occasionally visit her LJ because I knew her in LOTR and tend to keep checking what the people I knew then are up to now. Anyhow her LJ's named mirabellawotr.
