Who Is This? [9.27.06]

The bulge looks like it has a pretty defined edge. By that I mean it looks quite 'boxy' I wouldn't say it is the right shape for a phone.

Secondly about the house, it is a pretty picture perfect isn't it. I think it is Bree's house, it certainly fits the vision of the family that I had in mind.

I'll bet my left nut on the following 3 propositions:

1) the jeans are American Eagle. I own the same pair.
2) It's a cell phone. A really normal cell phone.
3) His jeans, his phone and the lady's car are not clues.

But what if I don't want the left one?!?!?! ;D

[fight4urit]

I agree with you on the car and the house, just creative choices. But the "cell phone" seems strange in the picture it looks like it is the size of his whole hand including fingers! Now, as a girl my cell phone, which isn't a flip, sits in my hand, but certainly isn't any where near as large.

So the size jsut bothers me, but also why bother with a clue we have no way of finding anythign about.

So, I am torn!

If they had wanted to add some ‘game’ elements to the story, this vid would have been the perfect time. They should have added a very obscure tag (or two) that when you google image searched it, it would bring up a picture of Blondie. Then when you went to that website it would be a mysterious one, which people could hunt through for clues.

Ok, A little more on topic. I found this vid a major disappointment, the fact that a lot of people are just talking about the bulge in Yousef’s pants helps to prove that. I think vlog style opening and closing shots to frame the scene would have helped a lot, like how Bree did when she had the fight onscreen. I also thought the ending was just terrible, it didn’t make any sense, unless Daniel was caught and if that is the case then how did he upload the vid.

This video seemed like a real teaser for clues, it looks like there are lots of them, but really there is no true substance. I think M&M need to learn how to find a mix between giving us overly obvious clues (like putting them in the tags when no one can make out what is said in the video) and giving us clues that mean nothing at all. I also think if Daniel is going to be the only one making vids anymore, then they really need to expand his character, maybe make him do a vlog that isn’t just about Bree. As mysterious as LG is, we know even less about DB.

Well, I fell off topic again. In a final ditch effort to save this post, I will add, it does not look like Bree knew Blondie very well. She walked behind her and in general the body language was not that of two people that are overly comfortable with each other. It seems likely that Bree could have known Blondie before, but this is their first time alone together.

I do think the bulge in Daniel's pocket could be overblown - it may just as well have been a bulge in Yousef's pocket and incidential. That said, if it's a cell phone, it's a PDA cellphone if it's that wide - a Treo or something. But I like the idea that it's pocket binoculars, and the shape would be right.

I guess people have very different definitions of sporty. That car looks like any of a dozen moderately priced American cars to me and not sporty at all. And I doubt it has anything to do with anything, it's just a car they had available to them.

It's possible Daniel was caught. It's perfectly feasible that a couple seconds after the vid cuts off, Bree spots him, he turns the camera off, they fight, he goes home and edits and uploads the video. They only thing to explain is why he didn't record an ending saying, "She caught me, I'm on my way home..." or something, which could be for many reasons, including he just didn't feel like it.

[fight4urit]

Sometimes you just get wrapped up in the Breeniverse and you want there to be somethign more, instead of accepting an average untelling video. Sadness, I hate waiting for new videos.

[wixy15]

As I said before. He has never had an 'ending' to his video's. It would be totally wrong in my opinion for him to have recorded a vlog ending, something along the lines of stated above. I don't really think it is any worse an ending than any others. If it had a proper ending then there wouldn't be a mystery would there? We wouldn't be debating it now would we? I think it is done to keep the us viewing and maintain the suspense.

"I fully expect to people start posting vblogs while doing more and more odd activities without explanation - like shoveling snow or raking leaves, washing dishes, trimming their nose hair, etc., the possibilities are endless."

Noasinger fans herself and mutters under her breath about bulges in Yousef's pockets not being "incidental," but rather "appreciated."

[lesbrent]

OK my 2 and a half cents ....bulges in pockets. I think it's all about the camera angle. People can make all *sorts* of things look BIGGER, depending on the angle the camera is at. So it's a phone or a pack of smokes.

The new character....Definately showing Bree how to REMOVE a ROBE and practicing moves. I think she was sent there to prepare her for the ceremony moves and that they were not overly familiar.

But poor Daniel...this really is pretty stalkerish. This video was to move the plot along and I think they've almost given up on the whole vblog thing, right? Let's pretend Bree and Daniel are real - why would someone put up a video that could be used as a sign of harassment and/or stalking someone else? The directors are really kinda making this up and really need to be more careful with continuity issues such as the bedroom window, and the lack of a big tree.

**oh and riana if you read this, sorry about your tire! That sucks!

[jayhenry]

Well, according to the story line, Bree's window faced to the backyard where she watched turtles in the little pond. So we wouldn't see it from the street anyways.

But honestly, this is overanalyzing things. We can't expect them to drop a million dollars on a house in LA that matches the description, just to preserve a minor point of continuity.

[lesbrent]

no, but things do have to be thought out and planned in advance or it will all crumble to pieces. Like why is Daniel even posting this stalker video?

[enigmaticangel]

hah, i was so right...stalker daniel & movies from him featuring bree

i think the lady is affiliated with the religion, helping her prep for the ceremony.

[curiousgeorge]

I can just imagine the conversation Yousef had with his mother in the last few days:

Uhhmm, mom, the internet is alive and buzzing with curiousity about the bulge in my pants. No mom, I swear it's not that kind of movie. No really, it's a real job. It's just well, I can't really explain it but I promise it's a real acting job. Really.

(all in fun Yousef, keep up the good work!)
