Ready...set...imagine!

I just found this over on Deviant Art. If you haven't subscribed to this particular poster, you really, really should. Right now.

Ohh, the fantasies I can build around this image!

Heat and chills

This is a post that grew in the telling (ten points to anyone who gets that reference). I had originally intended to post the first video, and only the first video, two weeks ago. Then I found something better for that weekend; and then last weekend I was as nauseated and terrified as most of the world at certain election results. But let's not talk about that. Here we go with the original video, which is just a fun, hot piece of fluff; and then I'll give you something new and creepy that I just found yesterday.

First up is - warning: controversial opinion ahead - the only scene worth watching in what's supposed to be a camp classic. I tried to watch Barbarella in full. Honestly, I did. But it felt like a Saturday morning kid's TV show with overt sex thrown in, so I kept feeling weirder and more uncomfortable until I had to turn it off. But I did like this scene, where one of the villains tries to torture Barbarella to death with unexpected results. I especially love her exclamation of dismay at the end:



Now here's the creepy second video. Some of you know about a SF anthology series called Black Mirror, which until now was made in the UK (I only saw one episode and loved it, but reviewers everywhere rave about it). Now it's being made in the US and coming to Netflix, so Netflix designed this very...counter-intuitive...promotion for itself: "Hey, you! Forget the rest of the world and be Netflix's zombie slave! You'll love it!" Well, I love it, anyway. Especially that last little bit at the dinner table. Plus, the ad gives me so many, many ideas for corrupting this imaginary technology. I'm sure it will do the same for you:

Holy. Shit. Watch. This. Now.

two words: eye roll

Here's another case where I went to YouTube to get a video I'd already planned to share with you, but I found something much, much better.

First, I stumbled across this one:



Then, as you know, one thing leads to another:



And all the best hypo videos always lead you back to the glorious Agnes Zee:



All three of these videos will link you more hypno-goodness than you can sit still for, and I was sooo tempted to keep following those links! But I couldn't go on without leaving you a few gifts, so here are three of the best I've seen so far. Enjoy!
