{ xxx } Oh, dude. This one's such a cool vid - and it's got pretty funny beginning, too. Not many would have thought of it.
Okay, the fact the sound clips and the music seem to be fighting all the time through-out the whole vid, well, that gets a little annoying to listen to (at least my ears thought so), but I do love the general idea behind that. Plus, I LOVE the chosen sound clips like hell. They're yummie.
You know, this vid isn't really telling us a story either - it's more like a character study of Pyro through the three movies with a hint of RYRO in it and then leaves us with open ending... But.
I love the songs, I do. I LOVE how the lyrics really, really, really reflect the scenes - his emotions and actions. They're funny and sarcastic at the same time and just so *him* too. I don't think there was a single moment that I would've thought 'no, don't fit' but it was more like 'yes, exactly!!!' through and through.
I swear there's so many bits I like, but the one that always makes me giggle is around 1.00. Mwuahahahahah... fuuuuuuuck! How fitting was that? Yeah, go watch and you'll know what I mean ^^;
Another bit that I enjoyed? The double meaning in must be pretty cool to be you because well, Bobby *is* Iceman. I find it funny, is all.
Pyro is a melting pot of all sorts of emotions, a mix, and that's exactly what the vid gives us. Lots and lots and lots and lots of different emotions.
The only thing that I frown upon is the fact the songs switch sort of dramatically and it sometimes breaks the flow, BUT, that's cool too. I can live with that because honestly, I dunno how it could've been done better, so.
Oh, and:
"Am I who you think about in bed?
When the lights are dim and your hands are shaking as you're sliding off your dress?
Then think of what you did
And how I hope to God he was worth it.
When the lights are dim and your heart is racing as your fingers touch his skin.
I've got more wit, a better kiss, a hotter touch, a better fuck
Than any boy you'll ever meet, sweetie you had me
Girl I was it, look past the sweat, a better love deserving of
Exchanging body heat in the passenger seat?
No, no, no, you know it will always just be me
It's the RYRO shipper inside of me, giggling, chuckling, smiling... purring. Definitely purring.
Who am I kidding, really? I love ALL the bits. How could I not?
