Awesome!

[From: isagel]

Oh, darling, darling festividder! THANK YOU SO MUCH! If you could see the gigantenormous grin that is currently plastered on my face, you would know how immensely I love this gift. You are amazing for having made it!

Oh, Laura and Steele! I love how much focus you put on Steele's love of old movies, and the opening with the snapshots of classic couples from the silver screen is just the perfect intro. And the song! It's not a type of music I would ever have picked for them, but the spirit of it is so very right for everything you do here with the meta levels of how the show plays with and subverts the gender clichés of the movies Steele adores, and how it is, of course, a rom com, but in a way that refuses to comply with the assigned male/female roles of that genre. And, yes, yes, Laura being awesome and kicking ass, and Steele being gorgeous and reading GQ (I may need an icon of that shot to embody the concept of GQMF *g*), and Laura kicking more ass in every imaginable way, and all the random shots involving the Casablanca poster, and Laura being in charge and Steele taking orders and, the two of them being marvellous together with their perfect comedic timing... You've just captured all of it so wonderfully here, I honestly can't stop grinning. Again, THANK YOU. <3333333333333

Kill the Director

This is fantastic! How I used to love this show, and especially the awesomeness that was Laura Holt. You'd think there would be so many more Lauras on TV today...

Digression! A lovely, contextual, look at this pair and series that was superbly edited. Excellent.

Oh, this was a lot of fun! :D

This is so fantastic! It made me sit up and think about the show (which I hadn't thought about in years) in a whole new way. LOVE IT!

fantastic!

OMG!
That took me back to a show I used to love, and it made me remember ALL the reasons why!
Kick-ass Laura Holt and the soon-to-be Mr. Bond when he was younger (and even prettier).
So much geeky, movie-obsessed, gender-bending, stereotype- subverting WIN!
Whoever you are, nonny, I officially love you!

All of the hearts, all of them, for you, anonymous vidder. I love how you contrast all those old movies Steele loves to his relationship with Laura. The song is so very perfect for Steele's viewpoint!

So much fun! Reminded me of my love for the show, but brought back in such a fresh way.

[From: sage]

OMG that was wonderful! I'd completely forgotten just how many of the action-scenes she was responsible for. Also, great song choice.

[From: gracecourage]

Perfect, perfect song choice! This is them, and I can't stop grinning. ♥

[From: fairestcat]

This is so perfect!

BEST EVAR! I only ever saw Remington Steele at like 3am on vacation. You've reminded me how much I always meant to go back and watch the whole thing properly.

I love the slideshow at the beginning in particular.

[From: felis]

Okay, this is fantastic. So much fun! I just love how you've captured their wonderful dynamic here, the scenes you chose are perfect. Laura Holt FTW. Yay!

[From: thirdblindmouse]

If the show is half as fun as this vid, I must see it. Loved "the gender I will never understand" (and "break your heart").

[From: facetofcathy]

Love this!

[From: cesperanza]

OK, so *flaily* I loved this show much in its day?? Like SO MUCH??? And I really needed this vid? Like a LOT A LOT?? *giant grin!*

[From: concinnity]

\o/! I smiled all the way through this. What a perfect, perfect choice of music & just great editing.

[From: starlady]

Oh damn, that was perfect. :D

[From: colls]

How adorable!!

[From: laurashapiro]

So much fun! I've never seen the show, but I got a clear idea of both characters and their relationship. Terrific internal movement, too. Whee!
