VID REC: The X-Files - Kinda I Want To

Vidder: Thandie
Musical artist: Nine Inch Nails
Pairing: Mulder/Krycek

Why this vid kicks ass:

Thandie has made several wonderful X-Files vids, but Kinda I Want To is probably the one that thrills me most. It's a fast-paced, hard-hitting, gorgeously cut vid, and it captures the essence of the Mulder/Krycek pairing in a way that just floors me. There is an almost excessive use of zoom effects here, but they serve beautifully to bring across the extreme level of Fox and Alex's mutual obsession so that you not only understand it, but feel it in your gut. This is Mulder and Krycek as I've always seen them, mesmerized by each other in spite of knowing better, torn between conflicting impulses of loathing and need, governed by a compulsive desire to get under each other's skin any way they can. To paraphrase the song - it's not right, and it's not good, but it's what they can't help wanting. And Thandie shows us that want with delicious skill.

This way to the vid.

Just scroll down the page; Kinda I Want To is the last vid in the X-Files section. Do yourself a favour and download the stunning full-sized version rather than watch it on YouTube.

I'm not even sure what possessed me to download this vid, since I'm not at all a fan of Mulder/Krycek (though NIN probably had something to do with it), but it is indeed expertly cut and goes together with the music perfectly. One of the best fanvids I've ever seen. Thanks so much for the rec!

This is a great recommendation. The song is perfect for this pairing.
