Hmm, I wonder what's causing it to jitter, I have the same problem occassionally with large Mpeg files, but never with XviD. I would definitely grab that huge 4.5 gb file if I wasn't capped at 2gb on the newservers, damn comcast. <_<
-
If you can see the video, then you should already have XviD, it could be something else. You can pick up a codec pack Here, might help. Some players and computers have trouble playing large res videos, seeing as this one is large widescreen, you might cut it to 50% might fix the problem.
-
Might I inquire as to where you found that?
-
You need an AC3 filter to play the file, I'm using the current K-Lite codec pack and it runs fine in Windows Media Player. The slow playback could be caused by Winamps lack of the ability to play large res files properly, or the computers lack of memory, all kinds of things. You can get a standalone AC3 filter Here if you want.

Ana Beatriz A couple scans to help people get over the extreme lack of Ana in the VS Show. So, I think these were posted some pages back by Nadia, but I decided to scan my own. Don't remove the tags please Glamour Germany September 2005

Thanks, and welcome back Sakhmet,
-
Disappointing, yeah that's how I would put it. Mostly because there was a combined 6 seconds of Ana Beatriz. <_<
-
This Ricky Martin performance is near unbearable. :|
-
Their camera movement is too erratic.

I used to be able to pull those videos easy when I was running win2000, but since upgrading to XP it's become somewhat difficult.

Good Stuff, thanks impel, I guess Gisele was on the Early show on CBS this morning as well, there's a video of it Here, right on the front page, I can't seem to get the correct link to get the video out, but I might work on it some tomorrow, unless of course someone want's to pull it free first.

I think Nine has them all scanned over at her site, http://devine9.com/ Go register and take a look.
-
I believe they are from a C&A party during SPFW this past Summer. Or at least that's what I have them as. Not sure if the party had an official name or anything though.

Here are some scans I did for Valmount recently. They are from Flash Magazine No 109, not so sure about the month or year. The paper is a bit messy and I had some trouble getting the two pager to go together well because of color difference, but I think they are better than not getting to see them at all. Enjoy.

Then maybe we have hope yet.

Hmm.. I always assumed there were more pictures of Ana inside that Duran book. That's the quickest anyone has ever answered my question on ebay though. I wonder is that Wuerth calendar going to be anything like the Pirelli, in that only fat old business guys can get them? Lets hope not. <_<
-
Been looking for that for a while, Thanks for the link ampop, much appreciated. Just wish I had some cash to spend.
-
Umm.. Here is one of the Denimax pictures, I saw an advert once, though not sure where. And here is the only Urban Race Jeans advert I've ever seen, at least I think it's an advert. Thanks to avada for the scan.
-
I know for sure, Denimaxx, Louisa Cerano, Moussy, Sweet Years, Yamamay, Sais, Ermanno Scervino, Cia Maritima, and Blue Race all had ad pages in magazines. Not sure about Zeki, Agua de Coco, Baby Phat, they may end up just being catalogs. I have some old baby phat pictures, which I thought were ads, but I might have been wrong.
-
Denimaxx, Louisa Cerano, Zeki, Moussy, Sweet Years, Yamamay, Sais, Agua de Coco, Ermanno Scervino, Baby Phat, Cia Maritima, Urban Race Jeans. That's all I know of, that aren't on your list already.

That pic is from an editorial in Australian Marie Claire August 2000

Who is the first model who caught YOUR EYE?
Capt Snow replied to k_dub's topic in General Discussion
Ana is just that amazing, The first to catch my eye..hmm, I wish I could say it was Ana Beatriz, but I must admit that it was actually Laetitia Casta. Very pretty. -
They deviated too much from the book. I understand they had to leave things out due to time constraints, but simply changing things that they did leave in from the book, made it somewhat painful to watch. Anyone notice how angry this new actor portrays dumbledore, and how rash he seems? Richard Harris always portrayed Dumbledore as a very calm character, deep thinking. New Dumbledore (Michael Gambon) always seems tense, and too loud and that's not the way he ever was in the books. Case in point, after reading Harry's name from the Goblet, he says Harry's name twice, and then screams it angrily. Then once they got into the chamber behind the great hall, he nearly tackled Harry into the furniture, and was visibly shaking him. That's not how that scene should have unfolded, and for anyone who read the book, that sure didn't feel like that is how JK wanted that scene to be interpreted. Some people might say,"Oh times are getting more dangerous, and everyone is tense in the book" yet no matter what Dumbledore has been faced with in the 6 books he has never gotten crazed like that in any of them. Richard Harris could portray a dramatic scene without having to force it. More things that irked me, the fact that it felt like the first 30 minutes of the movie were on fast forward, or just hastily put together in chopped up pieces. I understand again that pieces needed to be removed, but they could have done a better job at putting the pieces they had to work with together in a way that doesn't make people feel like they missed something major. Quidditch World cup, great nice stadium and all, apparently there was no game played. I mean the closest anyone ever got to saying the Irish won the cup, was Fred or George, mentioned that the sounds they heard must be the Irish celebrating, turns out it was Deatheaters of course. We never got to see Krum's Wronski Feint, not a big deal in itself, but still something, along with the actual Quidditch game, which could have been included instead of a few other things which were also not as important. Now I watched a bootleg, and it felt like possibly something happened during that sequence and the recorder had to be hidden, possibly losing that piece in the movie. So if the Quidditch game was actually in the movie, just not in my version, disregard that above bit. Seriously thought the list goes on and on. Removing Dobby from the film entirely completely destroyed the whole Gillyweed sequence, and I don't feel they did a good job of pushing Neville in that scene to fill in for Dobby. I understand that the gillyweed itself is what mattered, but again, straying from the book proves to be an unwise decision. The band at the Yule Ball, if I'm not mistaken was supposed to be female if I remeber correctly, yet they replaced them with men, or at least a male frontman. I could be wrong about that, I can't remember that part too well even though I just recently re-read the book. First task, I didn't mind the fact that we never saw Harry waiting too much as the other champs went out for the trial, simply some music, and Harry sitting there, you get the idea without the 10 minutes it would have taken to do it the other way. When Harry faces the Horntail, this actually turned out better than the book, because, personally I never imagined they even left the stadium, yet they interpreted it differently and allowed free roam outside the stadium, which set up the dramatic dragon chase which makes things much more exciting than Harry just trying to dodge the dragon in the small confines of the stadium. Overall not too bad though, after reading all the books, I still have no idea, what exactly the dragon smashed into when chasing Harry, to fall to it's doom. And another bit in the same area, I don't remember the Owlery ever being where it is in this movie, and I believe in POA, you get a clear shot of that area, and there is no tower to be seen, in fact, I'm not sure the hill is even there. But who knows, I may have misread the books as to where the owlery is relative to the castle. Overall, I liked the Yule Ball sequence, I thought the tension between Hermione and Ron was pretty believable, better than I expected it to be at least. As I said I liked this scene, not much else to say about it. Although there was one spot of some interest I liked, Madeye, sitting off to the side of the dance floor, drinking his potion, you'll notice a feret asleep in a pouch around his waist, the Ferret being Malfoy I have no doubt. Again probably something I missed in the book, but maybe something the studio threw in. Hagrids hand on Madamme Maxine's ass, got a laugh out of that. Second task, Dumbledore is too loud again, Richard Harris why did you have to go? When he silences everyone, he sounds angry, wheras Richard Harris commanded the same kind of silence though in a much kinder tone. I thought they did a good job on the Grindylows, I could never quite imagine what they would look like, but I think they did a good job coming up with something unusual. They cut the part where Dumbledore speaks with the Mer-person, about Harry's heroism, Dumbledore just seems to magically know, what went on down there. They find Crouch while walking through the woods, Hermione, Hagrid, Ron and Harry, yet in the book, again if I remember correctly, it was Harry, and Krum who were there, and Krum ended up getting stunned, which they completely changed. When Harry was inside the Pensieve, need I say anything else, they strayed from how the book was written, since when was Barty Crouch Jr, just hanging out in the seats of the tribunal room, If I remember correctly he was brought in with three other people from where ever he had been kept. Yet they changed it into him being confrontational towards his father instead of screaming for his help, when he tried to escape, which is again astray from the book, also frustrating is that they melded the two sequences together into one. I mean that was one of the major pieces in the book, the diversion that Crouch JR, was innocent of being a DeathEater. JK makes you feel in the book that he is wrongly imprisoned, until of course he is unmasked later in the book. Dementors brought Karkaroff into the chamber and chained him to a chair, he was not brought in on an elevator inside a perforated iron maiden. When Karkaroff, gives them Snapes name in the chamber Dumbledore stands and in a tone which only conveys that he is annoyed with the fact that Karkaroff even said something like that, Dumbledore defends that Snape is no more a DeathEater than himself. Those of you who have seen the movie know what I'm talking about, the way he responds to Karkaroff, is not Dumbledore like. In fact in the book it states he said "Calmly" that Snape was vouched for, another misinterpretation of the book by the actor or the screen writer, you pick. The minor quirks they get wrong about Dumbledore irk the shit out of me, because to anyone who has read the book even once, these minor things are unbelievably noticable. In the end of the sequence, Harry just falls out of the Pensieve or whatever, in the book, Dumbledore came into the Pensieve to retrieve him. Third Task, If again I'm not mistaken they took good sized chunks out of the obstacles in the maze, though this falls under time magangement more so than butchering what they have left after time management. They completely left out Harry's use of the Four-Point Spell, as well as the obstacle of the world turning upside down as harry went through the mist after hearing Fleur scream. The Skrewts, another obstacle slashed from the maze. And the major change in this task, is that in the movie Harry comes across Krum and Cedric, sort of battling. Whereas in the book Krum had Cedric under the Cruciatus curse, and Harry Stupefied him to stop him attacking Cedric. I guess they decided it was better if Harry, just took a spill and Cedric knocked out Krum using Expelliarmus, which I thought was used to disarm but apparently in the last two movies, it actually throws you across rooms, and knocks you out. No Sphinx in Harry's way. And instead of facing a giant spider just before getting to the cup, they just threw in some nasty vines to attack Cedric. If you look at it the way I do, the only thing they really kept from the book in this task, was the maze, the cup and the champions, everything else was either discarded, or changed completely from the original book. I liked the Graveyard sequence, though it felt a bit short too, though that's understandable. I thought Wormtail cutting off his hand was a bit easy, must have been a damn sharp knife to cut that sucker off with no leverage, either that or his arm was made of butter. I thought they did a good job on Voldemort, a perfect mix of human and inhuman characteristics, and just about how I myself imagined him after reading the books. I liked his transformation from the cauldron to stable form, that was a nice added bonus of getting to see it transpire on film instead of having to imagine it happening. Malfoy seemed to have more of a hiss to his voice than Voldemort, which should have been the other way around. I thought the end battle between Voldemort and Harry was actually quite well done, I felt they should have shown James and Lily's faces with a little more detail, but that's trivial. I liked how in the center where the wands beams connected you could see, like chunks of magic or whatever falling to the ground. And then of course the bit with the unmasking of Crouch JR, in which none of the back plan, what happened to get Crouch JR to the point is ever mentioned, which is unfortunate, considering it's a rather important plot point in the book. No explanation of how Harry's name got into the cup in the first place, just that Crouch did it. I don't know exactly what the point of the next part was. Crouch pulls up his sleeve to reveal the Dark Mark, and says "I'll show you mine if you show me your's" at which point Dumbledore says, "Give me your arm Harry" then proceeds to show Crouch the nasty cut on Harry's arm. What was that supposed to symbolize? I understand Crouch was showing Voldemort was in fact back, but what did that have to do with Harry's arm being cut and showing it to crouch? A bargain, he got to check out Harry's arm in return for showing them his DarkMark? They could have just as easily just pulled up his sleeve, and not put Harry's arm on display for Crouch. Now the scene with Dumbledore and Harry in the Griffondor tower is more how I would expect Dumbledore to act at all times, and it was nice to see him not being completely irate and overly intense as he was through most scenes in the rest of the movie. Overall I thought the movie itself was quite good, I definitely liked it, though I really do hate the fact that they cut a lot of things. Most of all though the things which they changed drastically are the things which I hated most to see. A lot of the things they had no reason to change, time constraint is one thing, but changing major plot points for whatever reason is unacceptable.

Stop. That will be the only warning I'll give you.
