Many many moons ago, I put up a post wondering where I could get downloads, of any legality of The Middleman episodes. What's that you say? You don't know this "middleman" show? You haven't seen it? AH WELL, THAT IS ALL ABOUT TO CHANGE.

And with the great help of [livejournal.com profile] delgaserasca and a hilarious battle with iTunes and a time-limited clipping program later, I had all the elements to make the ideal Middleman vid. It would be awesome. It would be for great justice. It would encapsulate my joy about the series and also wag it's tongue about all the stuff that they let on ABC Family.

And then the files sat on my hard drive for 3 months.

But no more! The vid of great justice is here, and happily, it is as close to the platonic ideal as I conceived of it. I still hate iMovie, but I'm not dropping $70 to upgrade versions. If you have watched MM, you will (hopefully) love this. If you have not, you might still enjoy it, and if I've done my job correctly, you will go to your nearest internet source and seek out this show.

Woo. (Bonus points for figuring out what scene idea I started with.)

title: Gossip Folks, Dubbie!
music: Decepta-Freak On by AplusD (Missy Elliot/Le Tigre mashup)
disclaim: Music not mine, (video) certainly not mine, innuendo was there in the first place.

You inspire me to finish my half-heartedly started "Say Aha"-by-Santogold-as-Wendy-Watson-theme-song vid. YES. YES I DID. Once I realized that it required far less episodes to comb through than the Cylon one.

p.s., I'm currently reading Pride & Prejudice & Zombies, and it's... basically The Middleman in an Austen novel. SERIOUSLY.

THAT WAS 100% DELIGHTFUL AND I WISH I HAD MORE WORDS ABOUT IT, BUT I CANNOT FIGURE OUT HOW TO CONVEY "AM FLAILING AND CLAPPING HANDS"

The action of which you speak, I believe, is a silent expression, unique as the person to belongs too. Or just massive flapping of hands.

WOO, THANKS :)
