Ok, I've been avoiding it for a while, but I finally watched sisabet's Spike/Angel vid to Nine Inch Nails' Closer. Although I totally agree that if vamps were real they'd be bisexual, and if Buffyverse was real, Angel and Spike would so have a sex history, for the most part, I don't pay attention to slash. Except on occaision to affectionately mock Spike's manliness (see lj-icon).

But holy shit, is this video cool.

I watched it once, then had to go mop the kitchen. But as soon as I was done, I ran back and watched it again. And then I commented here.

Because it rocks.

Edited to add:

Watched it a third time, in full screen form.

I loved the swtiching back and forth between Angel and Spike while they had close-ups with looks of pain/anguish/estacy. And the flashy-soul parts with the words "You bring me closer to God". And the dialogue overlay was brilliant.

Damn me if those wooden stakes/spikes being shot out at the end wasn't a deliberately phallic image.

Let me just add a big me too!

I'm not much of a slasher either. But from the moment I started watching the video, I was so engrossed.

That was some hot stuff (not to mention some good editing... didn't you just love the zoom into Angel's eyes, out from Spike's chest?)

And regarding the phallic imagery: Rockets? Skyscrapers? Stakes? I do believe so.

Yep. :grin: bloodypoetry put it best: "Nos doesn't like slash. Nos loves this video."

So if you guys are hot and bothered, just imagine what a slasher, and an OTP S/A shipper like me feels.

I think it's time for another cold shower.

:g: I'm sure you're quite pleased with it. Did you love part with that sexy NLM shot of tortured!Spike's sexy eyes and the voice over "It's always got to be blood"? I loved that. And the chains shots of both of them.

I keep wanting to quote bloodypoetry on this topic:
"Nos doesn't like slash. Nos loves this vid."
