Festivids recs

[dolorosa_12]

I didn't participate in the most recent iteration of Festivids (vidding, icons, and basically anything to do with visual content seem like utterly inaccessible wizardry to me), but I did watch my way through everything that looked like fun in the collection, and now I come bearing recs!

Omg, a Secret of Roan Inish vid?? I am SO excited.

[dolorosa_12]

It made me so happy to see that fandom in the collection!

[naye]

Thank you for the recs! I should check them out - I find vids easy to overload on, so it's lovely to have some curated here.

[dolorosa_12]

Not a problem! I agree with you about overloading on vids, so I'm glad to have been able to help.

THE SECRET OF ROAN INISH???? I LOVE THAT MOVIE! (I used to have an icon!) [Also: is it to a Joni Mitchell song????]

Also, I was forcibly hurled back in time just seeing Khorkina's name.

[dolorosa_12]

I love that movie so much, too! It was one of my childhood favourites!

Also, I was forcibly hurled back in time just seeing Khorkina's name.

I know, right?

When I was a gymnast, the uneven bars was my favourite apparatus, so I always find bars specialists like Khorkina a complete delight to watch.

[lirazel]

Uneven bars was definitely my favorite to watch as well. I remember thinking she was SO TALL because she was so skinny and taller than the other competitors, and I was always worried she was going to hit the mat with her feet. I just looked it up and she was only 5'5"!

[dolorosa_12]

Hahaha, wow, that was the same to me — I always thought she was so tall, with such long legs! But when I converted 5'5" to centimetres (imperial measurements make no sense to me) ... she's the same height as me! And I am not tall for a woman.

[lirazel]

Ooops! Sorry! I do try to include metric measurements online because obviously the entire rest of the world doesn't use our system, but sometimes I forget!

I am taller than her! By only about an inch, but I am! And I think of myself as very average in height.

[dolorosa_12]

Oh, don't worry about it, it's very easy to convert measurements online!
