OH MY GOD Y'ALL

Last night I was randomly watching a bunch of video files that I'd stored on my portable HD over the years (the glory of owning a Playstation 3 is that I can just plug in my HD and watch stuff on the big tv screen), and I found this (right-click download if you want it):

nsync - itv interview (uncut), february 19, 2001

They each do a solo interview, then a big group one. Probably everybody has seen this already? But I hadn't, and OMG. I wish I'd seen it when I was in the throes of popslash, because it's the most footage in one place where they're not using their interview personas and whatnot. Some of the things that stood out:

- everybody is pissed at Joey. Poor Joey! Also Joey just can't tell when a joke is over. Also he keeps playing JC like JC is a percussive instrument.
- Lance can turn it on and off like a motherfucker, plus is kind of more wryly acerbic than I thought he'd be. There's a point where he makes an aside joke to Justin implying that they fuck farm animals or something. NO, SERIOUSLY.
- Chris says "skatin" with no g on the end exactly the same way that cathybites and her sister say any word that's supposed to have a g on the end. Is this a Pennsylvania thing?? Plus, he is fun to watch but jeezum crow I would murder him in five minutes flat in real life.
- this is the most Southern I have ever heard Justin sound; also, I forgot how much I hate this phase where he says "just kidding" after EVERYTHING.
- despite the fact that he clearly finds the stock questions aggravating, JC's rambling would test the patience of a statue. But oh sweet heavens is he ever pretty (plus this is the dating-Bobbie era, which, YUM)! Why, JC-OF-TODAY, WHY DO YOU INSIST ON WEARING YOUR HAIR IN A FACSIMILE OF A GENTLEMAN'S DRESS SHOE, WHY

In conclusion: THREEMANBUS HOMG. Your conclusions will differ, but that's what *I* love, of course. *g*

You know? This actually doesn't sound familiar... I don't think I've seen it!! :D

I can't *wait* to get home after class tonight and d/l this!! :D

THREEMANBUS!!!!

[bossymarmalade]

eeeee! Did you watch it? Was it new to you?!?!

[rosebee]

It didn't want to play in WinAmp (or at least it wouldn't play the audio).

I finally got it started late last night in VLC... and watched enough of it to realize it was NEW to me!!!

I know what I'm watching tonight, that's for sure!! :D

Don't know why this posted as a separate comment and not as a reply to your reply... :/ So I'll manually repost in the correct place.

[bossymarmalade]

ahahah, no worries. I'll just delete the duplicate. *g* Come back and tell me what you thought after!!

Iced tea out my nose.

(Your love for oldskool bandom never ceases to amuse/amaze me. It's like watching a kid at X-mas. Every time.)

[bossymarmalade]

ahahaha! It's the most fun I've had in any fandom, so there's a lot of residual love. *g*

[marej]

siiiiigh. sometimes, just sometimes, i think back and daaaaamn i miss nslash like cake.

[marej]

or rather like smoking (except for harmful effects, which i don't think there were any), since i still eat cake and have no plans whatsoever of stopping. cake!

[bossymarmalade]

TOO TRUE. Cakening is an ongoing thing! Whereas smoking was awesome and yet kind of sickened me at times, so that's an apt comparison. *g*

[baggers]

THREEMANBUS! BOBBIE-ERA-JC! EVERYTHING THAT WAS GOOD AND RIGHT WITH THE WORLD! *EXPLODES*

[bossymarmalade]

EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE YES YES YES! THIS IS EXACTLY HOW I FELT TOO!!!

[morgana]

Thank you! I just finished downloading this, and I'll watch it as soon as I can.

[bossymarmalade]

I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!

[leksa.livejournal.com]

OMG I'm downloading this a lot. Thank you. <3

[bossymarmalade]

You are so welcome!!

[iamnaiad]

I'm sure I've seen this, but your description leaves me to believe I haven't. Therefore I must download it!

[bossymarmalade]

YOU MUST! And then come back and talk to me about it!!

[iamnaiad]

I swear I know that it should be leads me and not leaves. I can't believe I didn't notice that until now.

I've only watched a little bit, but is Lance flirting with the guy asking the questions? There seems to be an awful lot of eyelash fluttering going on.

[cathybites]

ahahaha! I've never seen this before! oh man, I'd forgotten how ridiculous they all were. oh, JUSTIN. No wonder we all wanted to write you being debauched all the time.'

and there is NOTHING WRONG with the way Chris says skating - the 'g' is supposed to be silent. :P

[bossymarmalade]

What REALLY cracked me up was how Chris then went on to talk about roller derby. ahahaahah!

Also, seriously, Timberlake -- he should have just made a t-shirt, or something. "totally available for fucking".

[frausorge]

I love these so much! And especially I loved seeing how after the stiltedness of the interview setup, Chris's constant joking comes across as a breath of fresh air at first, and then the longer it goes on the more it seems like everyone just wants to smack him and say "c'mon just play it straight so we can get through it and get it over with!" Oh Chris!


I FIND YOUR CONCLUSION COMPELLING AND AGREE WITH IT.
