Cosplay Rap? Sure, Why Not!
Apparently self-made music videos featuring cosplayers at comic book conventions are the new thing.
Meet the rapper Kid Apocalypse, who wrote a very specific, very continuity-heavy rap song, then filmed it at the Emerald City Comic-Con. So the next time you visit a convention and go in costume, you may get grabbed for a music video, it seems.
Dance, My Pretties
The London Comic-Con loves its awesome cosplay videos. And I do too!
Was it just me, or was there an odd number girls making out in that video? I guess they just know their audience…
Star Wars Teaches Us the Power of Interjections
Thanks for an awesome Robin Week, everybody! My numbers went up and I think some new people even discovered the blog! But now it’s time to switch gears, so I bring you Star Wars meets Schoolhouse Rock in one of the greatest Internet videos of our generation.
We all have One Minute Galactica to thank for this sheer brilliance. He promises to make more in the comments, and I would definitely be in favor of that. This is the Internet done right.
Sometimes Love Needs to be Tested
I haven’t forgotten that today is Valentine’s Day!
Is there anything more romantic than love with a Companion Cube? We have the awesome people at Random Encounters to thank again for this one.
I Thought Les Miserables Was OK
In related news, somebody made a fun Les Mis song parody.
I love a good song parody, and this one is by Shrimp Burritos, I think. Directed by a guy named Tyler Hamman.
But while we’re on the subject, I thought the Les Miserables movie was OK. It wasn’t as good as the Liam Neeson, spoken-word version from a few years ago. I think the singing was my main problem with it. Everybody sang every single line, and at certain points that sounded ridiculous. I understand that the stage musical is completely sung as well, but it just sounded stupid when they sang simple lines of exposition that would have worked so much better if they were spoken.
Maybe what Les Mis really needs is a half-spoken, half-singing version. Sing the really good songs and then speak the various lines in between. Somebody start making that.
Plus the whole time I was watching the film, I just kept thinking of Les Miseranimals from Rita and Runt.
That’s just a better interpretation all around.
