Oh, <3 <3 <3

Also, that is possibly the most fabulous version of that song ever.

[kass]

Oh, yay, I'm so glad you enjoyed it!

And yes, I love this cover, a lot. The original is grand, but the Zevon cover seemed to me to have that small-town Alaska feel, you know?

[fairestcat]

Yeah, it really does have the right feel for the setting.

Also, I actually went and bought the song thanks to this vid.

[ladysorka]

I really liked this.

[kass]

Oh, thank you so much! I'm really glad.

♥ I love the mellow sweet feel of this vid. The touching sides you showed of the chars made me smile all the way through :)

[kass]

I'm so glad you enjoyed it! I'm awfully fond of this movie and these characters, so it was fun to be able to showcase them.

[echan]

OH MY HEART, MY HEART. This was so lovely and kind and wonderful and joyful and maybe a touch bittersweet.

[kass]

YAY! I'm so glad to have provoked this reaction -- your comment makes me really happy! <3

[sabaceanbabe]

I really enjoyed this! :)

[kass]

Thank you most kindly!

[colls]

Nice!!! This vid makes me want to rewatch the movie over and over again.

[kass]

Excellent! That is exactly what I was hoping for. :-)

[china_shop]

This is just gorgeous! I got a little bit distracted the first time through just at the thought of Russell Crowe and Mary McCormack together: O.O Hee!

But yeah, really really lovely. <3

[kass]

Oh, I'm so glad you enjoyed it! Thank you so much. <3 I love this movie, so I had a blast rewatching and clipping and putting this all together...

[franzeska]

Aww. I loved the mood too.

[kass]

Oh, I'm so glad. Thank you!

[killing_rose]

Um, I can't find the vid?

[kass]

I'm so sorry! I'm having trouble with ftp to my website (terrible timing, I know) so for now, the vid is available for download from my journal. I apologize for the complication -- I'm trying to fix it now -- and thank you for wanting to d/l the vid!

[killing_rose]

Mystery, Alaska was one of those movies that made me laugh and ask where the hell it was taking place as a young Alaskan kid, so I definitely wanted to see it.

(Also, having browsed your website trying to find it, I'd like to note that I really, really love your Veronica Mars stories and the Saved! vid.)

[kass]

Oh, thank you so much! Man, I still miss Veronica Mars; she is awesome.

And I had so much fun making that Saved! vid -- that was my first Festivid experience, and it was a total joy. \o/

[killing_rose]

Or, hey, allergic-reaction means that I thiiiiiiink i was thinking of something else. But regardless, this vid is *awesome* thus far.
