Death and the Captain
Bet you expected NEDM. ;-) And yes, the angel does like quite a bit like de Lancie, doesn't he? But in the spirit of "we're artists now," this is indeed a serious work of art . . .

I really wanted NEDM. :(

I expect Q to grab Picard at the moment of his death, and have tea with him forever. Riker as a Q? That's itiotic. Picard as a Q? Cool.

you should use the adagio for strings vocal by Samuel Barber. The one from the homeworld soundtrack

August 3rd, 2006

Anyone who downvoted due to no-nedm is really just..come on, nedm is going too far. it doesn't have to be in every ytmnd. a ytmnd isn't bad because it's longer than usual and doesn't end in a stupid non-sensical fashion. Yeah I think NEDM is great but it's not necessary and shouldn't result in downvoting because of its absence.
August 3rd, 2006

I vote a third ytmnd site be made. We have the original. We have the nsfw site. Now we need ytand. You're the artist now, dog. Or something to that extent. Because this lacked serious funny, but it was nice.

August 3rd, 2006
(0)
-1 because this YTMND makes no mention of the possibility that death may just be an outmoded way to keep a species from overpopulating via natural aging, and at some point a sufficiently advanced species is expected to vanquish death altogether in order to advance as a society.

My favorite moment in Star Trek. Patrick Stewart is a genious at performing monologues. Now calling yourself an artist for this is kinda far fetched, in all seriousness.

I think the music (both choice and level) is a little overbearing. I'd at least mix it down while Picard is speaking, so the final wordless part hits harder. Otherwise nice.

A very thought provoking segment of TNG. The addition of the strings, along with the scene from Tepestry earned this a 5 and a Fav.

Everyone who 5-starred this site, thanks so much, it's awesome that a "serious" YTMND can have this kind of impact on so many. :-) Everyone who 1-starred it and left a comment why -- usually because there was no NEDM -- thanks anyway just for weighing in. Maybe I'll make an alternate version just for you guys. Everyone who downvoted WITHOUT commenting as to why, DYFWM!!
August 3rd, 2006
(0)
CatAstrophe, yes, I stole from the JWs -- and I feel strangely un-guilty about it. ;-) TacoGeddon, you have a point, but it should be said that Picard's views (in TNG or in this YTMND) don't necessarily coincide with my own... Taffin, believe it or not, I DID mix it down while Picard was speaking, or at least I thought I did...
August 3rd, 2006
(0)
cowofdoom7: that's probably the first time I've heard the Adagio described as "happy" O.o Aberu, I don't know whether DotC makes me an artist or not, but I think I'm an artist to the extent that YTMND is an art medium -- and one of my purposes in creating DotC was to prove that it CAN be. *shrug* Choronzon, that's an aptly Tangerine Dream-like sentiment. ;-)
August 3rd, 2006
(0)
ronin137, that's actually a very good idea! maybe we should petition Max to create YTAND! Goneja, I'd be so incredibly f*cking honored!! :-D Everyone who mentioned Q at the end: I actually tried to blur Q out more, but couldn't without making it look sh*tty. I didn't intend DotC that way, but if you want to see it that way, that's fine with me!

"this is indeed a serious work of art" I rarely downvote, but honestly, if you're enough of a pretentious *sshole to call clips of star trek you pasted together "art" without sarcasm, you deserve a 1.
August 4th, 2006
(0)
In my defense, a wise man once said that even *WRITING* was simply the art of taking pre-existing words, and arranging them in a cunning order . . .
August 4th, 2006

If you weren't pretentious about the whole thing, this would be worthy of a 5.
August 4th, 2006
(0)
In response to what you said: it's not that it's star trek, it's that you're calling your own work art. I don't care if you post something that's not funny on ytmnd, just don't announce how awesome it is to the world. That's the reason most people hate indie films.
August 4th, 2006
(0)
LOL... I guess I don't know what you mean by pretentious. Do you mean that I'm making exaggerated claims, about this being art? If so, I refer you to the dozens of people who called this YTMND "beautiful." When was the last time you produced a work of beauty? If you mean the secondary definition of "making demands on one's skill," then you have a point...
August 4th, 2006
(0)
Allow me to explain it a little better. I suck at explaining things. I'm saying that you shouldn't call your own works "art" or it will end up sounding like you think the world of yourself. I wouldn't exactly call this art, but I admit that it is beautiful, so I'll overlook the extremely pretentious description and give it a 4, what it deserves. You're not making exaggerated claims.... You're just being high and mighty, and I loathe that.

And Pretention < everything. The music is a beautiful peice of art, which you didn't create, the words are good (although against my beliefs) but they were written and performed by someone else, so totally what you created was a slideshow of space images.

I fail to understand why everyone thinks this is genius. I don't think it's horrible, but I shall abstain from voting and keep my opinion to myself.

I remember that episode, it was kinda dull actually with them just sitting there in chairs talking. This works better as far as I'm concerned.

This was gorgeous. Although NEDM would have been funny, it would have ruined the YTMND. +10 for use of adagio
