Pride and Prejudice, Thai food and Nsync files

[erilyn]

It totally counts as hunting and gathering if you're the one to go up to the new local thai restaurant and order the food, right? And its pretty good food, and damn good value (under $12 per person for the four of us, and oodles left over), so I'm patting myself on the back for that choice *g*. Though the leftovers might be partly because we went out to yum cha for mum's birthday and were still a bit full from that...

I saw the new movie of Pride and Prejudice last night with my parents. I adore the book, and love the 1995 BBC production with Jennifer Ehle and Colin Firth, but also enjoy the earlier BBC production and the terribly inaccurate Greer Garson/Laurence Olivier movie (which I grew up watching). So I'm open to other interpretations. And I enjoyed it. The casting and setting are very good, though Bingley is way more of a gormless twit than I see him as. It's probably the most...gritty, in terms of day to day life. My only real problems were the breakneck speed (including dialogue being a bit too rushed), particularly of the first half. While they had a lot to fit into under two hours, there was some very drawn out "contemplative" stuff in the second half that could have been shortened. And there was some terribly unsubtle direction/camera-work. But on the whole, while it's not the equal of the BBC version (and how could it - two hours vs five?), its very enjoyable :)

I haven't had a chance to comment in them all, but I've been enjoying all the Nsync anniversary posts so much (and getting moved nearly to tears by some of them). It's been great, so a global thank you to everyone who's posted or commented or celebrated.

And if you've got some spare cash, can I pimp on behalf of nsync_10? This is a fabulous fan campaign to organise an ad in Billboard magazine marking Nsync's 10th anniversary, on behalf of Nsync fans around the world. It's getting close to enough for a full page colour ad, which would be great. It's very easy to donate, and any amount helps, but the deadline is approaching :)

Here's some bribery inducements to donate if you can. And to carry on the celebrations another day *g*.

Nsync Live
+ Walmart Concert (1998?) - 19 meg
Babies! Performing in the hot hot Walmart parking lot, starting all over again in building up their fanbase in the US.
+ Tonight Show: Tearin Up My Heart - 42 meg
Such enormous coats and baggy pants - it looks like they stole a basketball teams clothes or something.
+ Top of the Pops: It's Gonna Be Me - 31 meg
They all look and sound so good.
+ TRL: complete rehearsal of Pop - 15 meg
God, Lance is so hot in this footage. And it's so interesting to see the rehearsal in the empty stadium, compared to how the full performance looks.
+ Clips from Pop Odyssey tour from Steve Fatone's company - 15 meg
Slightly different footage in most cases than what's on the dvd.

Please don't direct link to the files, or link to my journal on message boards or communities.

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

You're welcome, and that's great! :)

I saw the new P&P but kept getting sidetracked by Bingley's hair. It was so huge!

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

It really was!

[raynedanser.livejournal.com]

I stole footage. Thank you, as always. *misses them*

I've already done my part, but hope I can manage to do more, too.

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

I really hope we can get to a full page colour ad. Whatever it is, I'm gonna have to get my hands on a copy of the magazine! *g*

[raynedanser.livejournal.com]

*nods* Same here. REALLY wish I could see their faces when they saw the ad/heard about it. hee!

[truekat.livejournal.com]

Thank you for continuing the anniversary celebration in such a sparkly way! I snagged several vids. As much as I love watching all of these, it really makes me miss them! *HUGS* You're terrific! Thank you so much! :)

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

Footage can be a mixed blessing like that, and you're very welcome :)

[lucybass.livejournal.com]

I snagged some vids and plan on donating some of my birthday money to the cause later on. My family is helping donate to the ad! LOL.
Thanks! :)

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

Ha! But what a great birthday present for yourself :)

[lazydwarf.livejournal.com]

I'm grabbing all of these and plan on donating soon. Thanks sweetie!

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

Yay! And you're welcome :)

*eats footage for breakfast*

Re: wheeeeeeee

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

a) your icon is hypnotic.

b) do you put milk on the footage or eat it dry? Inquiring minds want to know.

[cyclogenesis.livejournal.com]

I don't drink milk, so I eat footage crunchy straight from the box! :D

*hypnotizes you*


you will keep posting excellent footage. you willlllll keep posting excellent footage...

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

Now I have a strange compulsion to lick the computer screen...are you trying to hypnotise me or something?

[turlough]

I'm snagging all the files, thank you so much! And thanks for reminding me to donate! I *must* send the money on Monday.

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

Yay for donating, and they are an interesting mix of performances, enjoy :)

[caitinlv.livejournal.com]

Cool! Footage and I'm not even awake yet. *squeezes you*

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

Heee, I hope you enjoy it, whether conscious or not yet ;)

[topaz119.livejournal.com]

Thanks for the alternate PopOd footage...I've never seen that before. Donated several times (Jessa got me with the sonnet bit; I was helpless to resist the iambic pentameter.)

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

Mwah, Jessa is evil and sneaky like that.

And it's interesting to watch - the dvd footage is so familiar, and this differs just a bit, that's there's weird cognitive dissonance (for me, anyway *g*).

Have you seen the other files from Steve's company? There's clips from Britney's tour, Christina's (which is a hoot, cause they play a trick on her *g*), Justin's and the Celebrity tour.

[turps33.livejournal.com]

I downloaded a few files, thank you :)

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

Always glad to be able to share footage with you :)

[go4it.livejournal.com]

I'm weak. I grabbed everything. Thank you so much for sharing!

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

That's not being weak, that's being sensible! *g*

[nopseud]

I grabbed a couple of the clips -- thank you :-)

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

Enjoy the performances - damn, they're such babies in the early ones :)

[masheek2.livejournal.com]

I grabbed a couple of the videos. Thank you!

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

I'm glad I could share them around - no one can have too many performances from the guys :)

[plastiqueallure.livejournal.com]

*snatches it all up greedily* Thank you!

[erilyn.livejournal.com]

Be as greedy as you like, that's what they're there for *g*.
