Bit and Pieces

[DMt.]

Look forward to that, Dahls, nice work man.

Had a dip down the archive of our national broadcasting company...

Sounds like a great place to browse.
Great find Dahls.

...I can make a short translation for you tomorrow (at least of what Becca says).
She is adorable though. ...

Oh, yes please.
And yes she is.

[Ian]

That's FANTASTIC, dahls. I love that little bits like this still keep popping up here and there.

Has anyone been able to download it? I want it and I can't get it!

[Dahls]

I can't help you with that, but I'm sure someone is able enough, and then put it on youtube maybe?


Anyway, I'll try to translate it for you, so here it goes.

It starts with a short introduction of the movie, where they ask a sort of open question on "Why does this movie bring so much joy?" This is what rebecka answered:

I think that, first of all most people, almost everyone, can relate to the film in some way.
Also, if you take Agnes's situation for example, who has it quite hard, you can see that it can turn for the better eventually.
The same goes with the Elin character, who's unhappy with where she lives and her surroundings, but we see that there are possibilities, stuff can happen, situations changes and so forth. It's a film that gives you hope and courage, I belive.

Clip from the bridge scene apears.

(Back to Becca)
The film is homo political important, becouse young people at my age and younger, especially boys, can be very anti gay, from all the group pressure.
But with this film being as good as it is, they start thinking it's okay to be homosexual.
Most of them already belive that, but it's like your not alloud, or too scared, to say so.
Furthermore I hope this film can be helpfull for young gays, both boys and girls, finding the courage to come out.

Clip from Bingolotto scene.

After Rebecka's monolog, we hear from Brita, a famous norwegian lesbian film critic.
She praises the film, and makes some very good points on how down to earth this film is, while bringing up important issues.
She talks about how it "speaks the teenagers own language" in a unique way, how real and autentic it feels, like it's "some homevideo we randomly got our hands on".

She also praises the girls starring, and gives the film a full score (6 stars out of 6).

I seem to hear the distant murmur of the machineries of karma as they favourably recalibrate Dahls' service-to-others quotient.

[fish]

...Dahls' service-to-others quotient.

Excellent Dahls, thanks heaps.

[Ian]

Lovely stuff, dahls.

Can no one help with the download? Downloaded and tried about ten different video-grabbing/url sniffing software last night, and not one of them worked!

[Hermes3G]

Thanks so much and great job Dahls.
No luck with the downloading, Ian, sorry.

[Ian]

Bastards just wanna keep Bex all to themselves.

[Dahls]

Hmm, it's on the same page as the Åpen Post interview, in which Katka downloaded, and uploaded to youtube.
So it shouldn't really be a problem?

[Ian]

Well it certainly seems to be!

Unless kat can work her magical powers on this one...?

[katka]

wau wau, great finding!

immediately I going to capture frame of it

[Dahls]

Super, thanks Kat.

[Ian]

Hope you can manage it, kat.

So here's the story so far....
Yesterday my modem became uninstalled and I had no wireless internet access.
Don't know how it happened but I spent ages talking to call centres in the Philippines and India without great success.
Why the hell you can't talk to someone in Australia is beyond me.
At least the Indian guy identified the problem and helped me connect an ethernet cable so he could send instructions to re-install the modem.
That's when my problems really started.
I couldn't understand more than two words of it.

I rang my local PC guy who called around, did the re-installation for both the PC and the laptop, and then we chatted.
I told him about Dahls' Bex vid and asked him how to download it.
He looked, said that's an FLV file, found a link for a program called "GetFLV" which I could have on trial.
Then said "you don't want to pay them for that", found it on Piratebay, downloaded a torrent, then GetFLV.
All I have to do now is w*rk out how to get it to download the vid.

By the time I sort it all out I expect someone else will have it done and I can just dl it from Ytube or something.

Anyway, how was your day?
