Fan-a-rama

Just listing the videos I showed yesterday, if you guys want to follow up:

The Twilight "Rifftrax" (www.rifftrax.com)
FYI: rifftrax are audio commentaries on usually cult films, led by American comedian Michael J Nelson



These are all done by ItsJustSomeRandomGuy on YouTube. You can see how passionate and informed the guy is about both the Marvel and DC-verses (And I do envy his action figure collection). Do watch all his videos!





My favourite is actually this one:



I forgot to show a clip yesterday—it's the second episode from series 3 of Doctor Who, called The Shakespeare Code. Bit of background info: The Doctor and his companion Martha arrive in Elizabethan England, where the Carrionites (essentially witches) use Shakespeare's plays as a device to open up a portal to let more witches in. It's up to Shakespeare to save the world from a wart-infested plague with his "words of power". There's a great pop culture reference slid in by the writer/s, and it just highlights my point re: a fandom informing and enriching other fandoms. (FYI David Tennant has now been replaced by Matt Smith who looks very promising. New series out in the UK in April!)



And some Big Bang Theory :D

Episode 2.20 — "The Hofstadter Isotope"

(makes you wonder how many takes they had to have to get this scene right)



Episode 2.11 – "The Bath Item Gift Hypothesis"



Episode 1.06 – "The Middle Earth Paradigm"
