0016 | link-dump, mostly frozen-related, with a bit of gatsby & zeiva

► So, about a month ago, I went to see Frozen in theaters with a friend of mine. In short, I really, really loved it, and have been listening to a million different versions of "Let It Go" ever since. (There were other songs I really liked too, but it doesn't seem as though they caught on in the same way, so "Let It Go" it is.)

Some of my favorites include this male cover (if you want a direct youtube link, that's here, but I liked the pretty art associated with the tumblr link), the German version, the Danish version, and this ASL video (which, while not being different vocally, still is pretty awesome to look at), to name a few.

► Keeping with the Frozen semi-theme of this post... most of the articles about it that I've run into I've been irritated by, but I did like this analysis of the film, and wanted to link to it. It just hit a lot of points I felt strongly about, and articulated why I felt that way much better than I ever could have done.

Oh, and I just ran across The Frozen Girl: Visual Cues and Evil Femininity, which is another article about the movie that I liked.

► Speaking of music, I am kind of really in love with this (apparently) 1920's version of Lana del Ray's "Young and Beautiful". I have mixed feelings about the 2013 film version of The Great Gatsby, but I did really love both this song and the scene it was in, and now it's gotten even better.

► I think I make it clear that I fangirl Zeiva really, really hard. So when I found out that they decided to do a Kickstarter for their next game... well, I'm feeling so-so about what we know about the plot, and I'm still super-tempted to throw thirty dollars down, because Zeiva. They've never let me down. Besides, the second and third stretch goals sound absolutely AMAZING.
