Vidder. VIDDER. I LOVE THE 90S SO MUCH. AND THERE IS SO MUCH 90S. I would never have thought of Semi-Charmed Life for The Craft on my own, but you are working it SO HARD here, magic-as-addiction spiraling out of control, and it's so good. AND DID I MENTION IT'S SO 90s, so much, I mean, if you asked me what the most 90s song I could think of was it would probably be this one, it's like you took the 90s and multiplied it by a magnitude of itself. My only regret is that I don't have any of my high school wine-black death goth lipstick to throw on right this minute. THAT'S IT. THAT'S MY ONLY REGRET. (I'm slightly excited, don't know if you could tell ... hee.)

[shati]

I too regret your lack of death lipstick. I regret my own, and I never even had any (but now I want some). I made this in a haze of ever-spiraling nostalgia, and I think I went back too far, because I wanted slap bracelets back by the end. Thank you for giving me an excuse to rewatch this movie.

[chagrined]

what an A++ song choice :D

[longwhitecoats]

This is GLORIOUS. The friendship and Wacky Hijinks in this movie are so great, and you captured them wonderfully! What a perfect song choice, too.

[leanwellback]

Oh my GOD this is PERFECT, I love it. I know I'll be watching this one many, many times :D

[giandujakiss]

You've captured exactly the cheesy appeal of this movie - and your summary is killing me.

[elipie]

This is absolutely wonderful! I haven't seen the source but I can tell how 90s and up my alley this would be, and the song choice definitely helped amplify that. :D

[walkthegale]

Ahhhhh, omg, this is so perfect for this film, and so beautifully put together and I love it! It really captures everything awesome and 90s about the film. Absolutely excellent! :D

[par_avion]

Hah, I didn't get the title pun until the credits. I really enjoyed this! I lived thru the 90s without knowing this song was about drug use ... and we all know magic=drugs!

[frayadjacent]

This is so great! Excellent song choice, and I love how your clips and editing changed pace and tone with the song and really brought out the feeling of the film. Yay!

[chaila]

Fabulous! Haha the 90s called indeed.

[skygiants]

I love so much how this is all fun peppy nineties sleepover DEATH. Thank you, The Craft. Thank you, Third Eye Blind.

[sanguinity]

I am completely unfamiliar with the source but here on Skygiants rec, and "all fun peppy nineties sleepover DEATH" is quite the summary! But as any fan of Buffy knows: magic = drugs, and what starts as woman-to-woman bonding and taking back of female power soon becomes EVERYTHING SPIRALING OUT OF CONTROL AND ALSO DEATH. :-D

[grammarwoman]

A+++, vidder, for capturing this excellent slice of the 90s. At the time, I so desperately wanted to be a witchy goth, due in no small part to this movie, and seeing it like this makes me smile.

[franzeska]

OH MY GOD, IT'S THE 90'S!!!

[were_duck]

SO 90S I SMILED SO MUCHHHHH WHAT A GREAT SONG CHOICE I love the focus on the women's relationships and the angst/hope they're working with in the film. So many feelingssssss wow the pacing is heady and lovely on this vid.

[rhoboat]

Ahhh, this is amazing and so, SO 90's.

[revolutionaryjo]

It's 1997 again! And this vid speaks to my angsty teenage soul who unironically adored this movie! Loved this vid. :)

[metonymy]

THIS IS SO PERFECT. Not least because that song is a lot more fucked up than any of the chaperones at our high school dances realized. Which makes it even more fitting.

[littleheaven]

Ha, this is brilliant! What a perfect song choice, and your editing was flawless. Creepy and hilarious all at once.

[deirdre_c]

Ouch! Hits me right in the nostalgia bone! So ridiculous and fun. Yay!
