I'm so sorry about the spammage, but...

1) This here cracked me up more than words can say. Thanks for the helpful, er, diagram, girls. Very nice. I approve. Heh.

2) I forgot to say this, but it had me very excited a couple of days ago, so I had to share.

If they ever DID make an At Swim movie, I have come up with the trailer...

Well, sort of.

Ok, so here's what I have come up with: (probably cheesy, but it's cool in my head...)

We see a span shot of Ireland, and over it eerie beautiful Irish music, probably the air that Jim and Doyler play on their flutes in the beginning, which does actually exist.

Then the music gets more intense, and we see fighting - particularly, the rising. The scene slowly changes, and we see two boys sitting in the wind, on the rocks, from the back, and we hear Doyler's voice, saying: 'We'll have our swim together, Jim. Come Easter, sure.' (Paraphrasing, but that scene, end of Part I, you know the one.)

Then the scene changes again, we see them, separately, doing their 'thing', I suppose, and we also get a shot of MacEmm, smoking, looking out the window into the sea, some bits of dialogue here and there, and then, we hear Scrotes, as the scene changes to show them at Wolfe Tone's grave: 'Build them a nation. Ransack the histories for clues to their past.' You know, the shpiel. And then we hear more music, a few more shots that I haven't yet figured out, and then 'At Swim, Two Boys' and the date. (No voice announcing it or anything, because I hate that.)

Umm...that's all.


Ok, no more spam, I promise.

That IS the At Swim trailer. It just is. *nods*

Yay! I know you won't read this, as you're already gone, but still - yay! *loves*

well, you know i got all choked up at the image of the trailer. But I pray to God, or to Jamie, that there never is a movie. please, I couldn't deal with it. It would NEVER be good enough.

Love and MISS YOU,
Jo

Well, at least we could have a cool trailer. ;) Not that they'd ever want my input, but a girl can dream... But you're right. It never would. And that is sad. *sigh*

all the same back to you! And I have a great picture of you sitting on my bed. It's making me happy. I saw that picture and went to my mom: Look, mom, that's my Jo!

:-P

guh. That is so gorgeous. If that were made, I'd fall in love with it and watch it continously. I wouldn't even need the rest of the movie. ;P

I hope they never do a movie, but if they did, I'd want you to do it.

Ohh, cool! I have more ideas for it now. Like, shots of Jim walking home from the church, with his flute in hand, or MacMurrough sitting alone on his perch, talking to his, er, imaginary friend. Evelyn motoring up hills, Mr. Mack going about his business... Just seeing all these 'character' shots, you know? And over it all, bits of dialogue. The bits of dialogue would be things such as Jim and Doyler talking, MacEmm's 'I do not think it IS a flaw', Evelyn's tulip soliloquy, and then, yes, Scrotes at the end. I think it could be a beautiful movie, if done the right way. But the actors would never live up to my ideas of the characters, and that's what matters most...

That's really lovely, the way everything builds and builds...

Can I have a go? Don't take it at all personally, I just love to do this kind of stuff. I'll try and make it significantly different - maybe the Tarantino version? Ho ho.

...and a bottle of rum?

Hey, go for it! I love it, too. I do this for a lot of books - even movies, if I haven't seen their trailers. It's fun. Join the game. ;)
