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.

[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.

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.

[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!

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/

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.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Ahahaha, awesome.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Heh, yeah. It's weird.

[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!

[angelchildr.livejournal.com]

I always took the Gerard look as "STOP TALKING ABOUT DYING OMG YOU'RE MY BROTHER AND YOU'RE NEVER GOING TO DIE ASDLKFJLSF;!!" But, I tend toward the angsty thoughts. :-D

[fayemeadows.livejournal.com]

Hmmm. See I don't think I've ever seen any of Ray but I swear I've seen one or two of Mikey. Interesting. :)

[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.

[lovesongwriter.livejournal.com]

But dude there was the most AWKWARD PAUSE after he said it.

Like Gerard going "......."

That right there was a call to a therapist for a session.

[angelchildr.livejournal.com]

There's one I know of of Mikey. He's not *actively* smoking, but he's got it in his hand. And of course, I don't have it uploaded. I can when I get home from work if anyone wants to see and no one else uploads it before then.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

I would appreciate that!

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Awww, seriously. OH FRANK.

[belladonnalin.livejournal.com]

Dude, I totally started something in my head and then was like "NO, THIS IS NOT A 14valentines FIC, I DO NOT GET TO WRITE IT. NO."

But.

[angelchildr.livejournal.com]

Not a problem. I'm all about spreading the Mikey Love. :-D

[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]

Ahahahaha. Oh, WAAAAAYS.

[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.
