making of ghost of you

[schmerica]

So this post by secrethappiness led directly to me having to rewatch the Ghost of You video, because HOW DID I NEVER NOTICE THAT BEFORE OMG.

So I just did that! And it was awesome! Only instead of taking me fifteen minutes to watch it took me, like, an hour and a half, because I kept stopping to take screencaps. Oops.

But look! Here! I will share with you! These are all actually pretty crappy quality-wise, but that doesn't stop them from being incredibly entertaining, so. (Even if I didn't actually get any shots of the shaving, alas.)

Not as awesome as shaving each other, no, but random wrestling IS ALSO GOOD. A++++++, Brian and Bob! I don't know what's going on, but I don't particularly care either.













And then there's the dorky boys shoving each other in the water when they're getting ready to torm the beach. I can't actually tell who's shoving Bob here -- it looks most like Gerard, I think, but I can't see it clearly.

Stage 1: Standing around innocent



Stage 2: ATTACK BOB!



Stage 3: Bob strikes back!



Stage 4: Almost fall down from force of Bob's retaliation. Reconsider wisdom of plan.



Yes, I totally did watch looking for any time Schechter shows up even a little, why do you ask?

I have no idea where Ray is in this picture, btu I think that one dude might be their creepy A&R guy.



HOT. HOT AND TINY. HI.



This is another place where I have no idea what's going on because someone else's narration is going on, but in this tiny bit, Brian turns and looks at his band and then turns back and shakes his head, with that weird smile on his face the whole time. It's kind of hilarious.



Next time they should do a video some place dry. Like the desert. (I coud not get any clearer of a cap than this. TRAGIC.)



Then I took caps of everybody smoking. SHUT UP IT'S HOT OKAY.

GEEEEEEEE. IN HIS LITTLE UNIFORM.



A WHOLE BUNCH OF BOB! *sighs dreamily*







Ray apparently only smokes on a tiny unsteady boat when the camera is really far away from him. WE CAN STILL TELL IT'S YOU TORO.



Frank isn't smoking. He's just pretty.



YES, Frank. I just said you were pretty. We get it.



Of course, sometimes Frank is just confused.



And sometimes he's laughing so hard I'm actually a little bit afraid for his health.



Sometimes he is stuffing his face while Gerard is EXCITED and Bob is CONFUSED.



Gerard is a big girly princess who likes to primp and preen. I don't know what Frank is doing in the background.



The medic can't swim! But that's okay, because Bob will save him. Awkward shoulder patting for all!



Ahahahahaha. MIKEY WAY YOU ARE STILL MY FAVORITE.



I love their group high fives, you guys. (This is another picture where I have no idea what's up in the background. Is that a wedding dress?)



And finally: "hahahaha, you got SHOT." *noises of things blowing up!*



Oh, boys.

DUDE BRIAN TOTALLY TOPS BOB. :D

I always wondered why we never saw pics of Ray smoking. He might as well - secondhand smoke from that band is going to kill everyone anyway.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

SERIOUSLY RIGHT. WHERE IS THE FIC.

There were some pictures of Ray smoking when they were in Australia just recently, I think. I think Mikey is the only one I've never seen any pictures of.

[jezrana.livejournal.com]

Ahaha the wedding dress--I think two extras/crew people/whatever, people who aren't in the band but were still on set got married on set? But I don't remember if I've actually seen that confirmed anywhere or just people speculating that that's what's up with wedding dress girl.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Ahahaha, awesome.

[bethac.livejournal.com]

I love how you pointed out their creepy A&R guy. That guy made me uncomfortable with his love all though LOTMS. And he is everywhere the band is. In their videos, hanging on the bus, buying every magazine they are featured in, sharing headphones with Gerard and gushing about the new songs. I sympathize with his love, but there is something off about him and his crush.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Heh, yeah. It's weird.

[angelchildr.livejournal.com]

Yes, that is Gerard trying to push Bob into the water.

But oh man, Mikeyway. "Suck it in..." How much you wanna bet that when he sucks his stomach in, he's about half as wide as he looks there. Get the skinniest guy to wear all the exploding gear, and he'll look like a normal weight guy. :-D

I heard about the wedding too. Somewhere out there is a photo of everyone lined up, looking like the wedding party, only in their war gear.

And that picture of Gerard? About two seconds after that, Mikey's all "My favorite part was dying! ^___^" and for a split second, the look on Gerard's face is awful awful and crushed and I want to give him cookies. And then he hides it. "That was your favorite part, huh?"

And finally...

BOB!

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Gerard being the one randomly shoving Bob around is somehow even cuter than if it was anyone else. I don't know how!

and for a split second, the look on Gerard's face is awful awful and crushed and I want to give him cookies.

Awwww! I totally just intepreted the look as a fond "Oh, MIKEY" but I like your way a lot.

BOB! \o/

[blondiusmaximus.livejournal.com]

All of the caps of Frank made me CRACK UP. What a FACE.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

I can't decide if my favorite is the bulging chipmunk cheeks or whatever he's doing in the one where Gerard's make-up is getting done.

[belladonnalin.livejournal.com]

Dude. BOB. BRIAN SHAVING BOB, I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH MYSELF, JESUS.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

If it's not going to be writing porn, I think flailing is the next best option!

[vic-ramsey.livejournal.com]

Frank's face as he talks about how he wasn't scared until his BALLS got wet is the best. I love his tiny, pretty, stupid faces.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Awww, seriously. OH FRANK.

[carleton97.livejournal.com]

As I have not yet managed to see LOTMS yet, all this talk of Brian shaving Bob's face IS NOT HELPING MY RESOLVE TO NO, NEVER WRITE THE EPIC STORY OF BRIAN SCHECHTER AND BOB BRYAR FOR bigbangbandom.

For reals, people.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Are you SURE?

[sinsense.livejournal.com]

Someone else has to write me Brian/Bob with Brian topping, because a) that is my happy place, no lie, and b) if I try to write it in the middle it will devolve into a Brian picspam and then just random letters.

I told Nic that if I ever met MCR, it would be like "hey guys, what's up, I like your music and your stagegay... OMG IS THAT BRIAN SCHECHTER? DID YOU KNOW HE MANAGES THE BLED? CAN I HAVE YOUR AUTOGRAPHoh god [bright red] hiiiii ♥ ♥

Um. Tell no one about this comment. Thank you.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

b) if I try to write it in the middle it will devolve into a Brian picspam and then just random letters.

Ahahahaha, oh god, I feel for you so acutely. BRIIIIIIIIAN.

I will keep this comment our little secret, I swear.

[xsnarkasaurus.livejournal.com]

far left in that one pic, with the A&R guy, that's Ray! ~tongue in cheek~

i...need to watch those again.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

I think I need to watch other makings of now.

[secrethappiness.livejournal.com]

I LOVE THE SCENE OF THEM WRESTLING. I RE-WATCH EVERY TIME.

Sorry, I keep commenting in caps on your LJ. In my defense, you keep talking about Bob and Brian and they make me caps.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Dude, I barely manage to keep from posting solely in caps in my entries -- it's totally cool.

[restless-jedi.livejournal.com]

Completely not ogling (or turned on by) the picture of Mikey wearing his glasses and playing with the costume glasses.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

MIKEYWAY.

[besquared.livejournal.com]

i am so not coherent right now, for many reasons, but mostly because of brian/bob. how so in love, you guys? why aren't there 10,000X stories about them being schmoopily in luuuuuv?

[mercymydarling.livejournal.com]

Did you know that Frank quit smoking? THIS SHATTERS MY WORLD.

BRIAN! WHY SO ADORABLE, BRIAN?

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Yeah! It was just in that random question interview scan that's going around. Blows my mind!

[speshope.livejournal.com]

I want to frolic with Bob in the surf. He can push me over anytime.

*pathetic hair*

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

BOB!

[mercurybard.livejournal.com]

Their A&R guy scares me! I hide behind my fingers every time he comes on during LOTMS.

Can you imagine having your wedding in front of the ocean in California (or wherever they were) and looking down the beach and seeing My Chemical Romance trying to recreate the storming of the beach at Normandy? BEST WEDDING EVER!

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Ahahahha. IT WOULD CERTAINLY BE MEMORABLE.

[exsequar.livejournal.com]

I'm crying with laughter and love. THEM.

Also, that's definitely Gee foolishly pushing Bob and getting BOBATTACKED! back. You can see him in a later shot when they start filming the running, I think. Whoops! Silly Geeface! <3333

[idle-graffito.livejournal.com]

LOL BOBATTACKED. It's so true. That's my favourite part besides the bit where Gerard butts in front of the camera with his big stupid adorable face being all "Can you flip the viewscreen around? I think I've got some saltwater in my eye..."

[idle-graffito.livejournal.com]

Yay thanks for this! Schechter! Mikeyway! Everyone! Smoking! Exclamation point!

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

I CANNOT CONTAIN MY LOVE.
