So in connection with the previous:

This is a cool thing of a steampunkular nature. And also--see this Star Trek parody--very cool.

And now we are set up for a Vixen Strangely Stream of Consciousness--The Star Trek parody seemed to me as if George Melies (who did the very awesome A Trip to The Moon ) met up with the makers of The Perils of Pauline , whose most notable scene was the reputed tying of our heroine to the railroad tracks--which railroad tracks in fact were--the New Hope-Ivyland Rail . Which is cool, since I've quaffed beer right off those same tracks--well, not exactly off the tracks, I don't know who'd pour perfectly good beer on train tracks anyway--but Triumph does overlook those tracks, as I've previously mentioned. So picture me, sipping beer, and watching a train on the track where some other train threatened to smash Pauline's pumpkin--

Which takes us to Smashing Pumpkins--who did a video which was strongly influenced by Melies: Tonight, Tonight .

But you want to know who else did a video very influenced by Melies? Queen: Heaven for Everyone . And what else was Queen known for? That's right: the soundtrack of the original, and best, Highlander movie. The best song: Princes of the Universe . If not this one: Who Wants To Live Forever --and yes, the original movie and these scenes do make me a little moist around the eyes every time. So there--I said it.

So, just so you understand--all my obsessions do fit together--and nicely, don't they?
