Amber in "7 Things to Do Before I'm 30"

[JujuDeRoussie]

molsongrrrl thank you so much. You're my savior!!
For the link and for the screencaps!
Holy Goddess!

[Knock yourself out]

Enjoy!

I've downloaded it and now I say thank you, thank you, thank you.

[littlewicca]

Oh god!! thanks for the pics!! you are great, and thanks to the one that told me about this post (Juju)

[molsongrrrl]

you're very welcome ... and if anyone needs help with the file or anything like that ... just let me know - i'll do my best to assist!

I'll add my voice to the general chorus of approval...

1. First and foremost, I think this film was the best vehicle for her particular talents since BtVS (and, of course, her own films). It was wonderfully cute, without being "cutesy" or arch, and movingly sentimental, without being mawkish or cloying. Say what you will about Lifetime, in this instance they came through.

2. The film provided a real showcase for her range, from funny to tearful. It is difficult under the best of circumstances to bring off either an off-screen voiceover or a "face-the-camera" narration, and she brought them both off successfully! A lot of the dialogue was not of the highest quality, but she made it all work (I wonder...she is a writer...maybe she contributed some of the better lines herself!) .

3. Several posters have remarked about the wardrobe. I think this was a deliberate choice: remember, the character is supposed to be someone who thinks of herself as "plain".

4. A real pity we didn't get some actual skinny-dipping in the skinny-dipping scene (if this were the 70s or the 80s, we would have )

5. We also got to hear her sing.

On the whole, then, a very positive experience.

I just finished watching "7 Things..." and it's a terrific vehicle for Amber's prodigious acting talents showcasing her mastery of all aspects of the craft.
In terms of how it was shot, it frequently reminded me of "Chance" what with all of Amber's asides to the audience in those lovely close-ups which we learned towards the end were her day care group.
THE POOL SCENE-Amber in a bikini is the contemporary embodiment of Botticelli's Venus rising from the sea.
Amber without the bikini in the community pool made me weep tears of joy and made my cat purr with feline abandon in appreciation of Amber's classical form.
Amber is a Siren reborn into the modern age with her cover of the Juice Newton song "Queen of Hearts."
Now I am even more gratified at having Amber be the inspiration for the showgirl heroine in my novel with her spirited and sexy rendition shaking what her mother gave her.
My favorite line was Amber's to Julia Duffy "How can you make that sound Biblical and dirty at the same time?"
Witty and poignant script, talented supporting cast, plenty of close-ups of Amber's azure eyes, crooked and sinful smile, and the widest range of nonverbal facial expressions in the industry today.

Enjoy!

omg thank you sooooo much!!! *_*

I loved this movie so much, and Amber did a great job as always

And I absolutely loved this part, I just had to do it.

[djrestlessmind]

molsongrrrl, i hope you're not tired of being thanked yet because...

YOU ROCK!!!!

Thanks!!!

[umgaynow]

Oh my! Those screencaps!

As much as I love chicks in chainmail I fear I may have to change my avatar...something aquatic, perhaps

I am proud to report that Amber's gorgeousness has converted yet another person to appreciating a classically curvy woman over the hanks of hair and bone Hollywood shoves down our collective throats...

When we first started watching it, my dad was like "Well, she's got a bit of meat on her bones for an actress"

I rolled my eyes and informed him that Amber is soooo not fat and they were deliberately dressing her in unflattering outfits because of Lori's body issues...then she climbed out of the pool in that two-piece

And my dad said "Now THAT'S a broad!" Go Dad!

So, I just got to watching this last night and I was wondering... Did anyone notice that one of the characters in the show (the guy "Amber" wanted to marry) "bought a car lot on Willow." Her friend told her that she should "check it out." I mean, that was an intentional nod, right? Had to of been. Anyhow, I love the Buffy nods that creep up everywhere, especially when they entail W/T.

Thanks molsongrrl! Just finished watching this movie and I enjoyed it immensely for all the same reasons a lot of other kittens listed.

Amber in several closeups...how can she be cute and sexy at the same time?

Amber singing and shakin' it.

Loved the bikini shot, but have to agree that nekked shots would have been groovy.

Her smile, her eyes, her sweetness.

Michael's sweet, but maybe she and Meredith could have made a go of it?!

Did notice the 'on Willow' line

Anyways, cute movie, Amber rocks and was really good in this IMHO.

I just watched the film. If Amber wasn't in it I would never have watched it, but it was actually quite good. I mean of course Amber alone is a reason good enough to consider it good! Amber rocks! But the storyline wasn't bad either.

I noticed the 'on Willow' line too.

Thank you very much molsongrrrl for uploading.

[sweettara]

I have a mac and it wont let me watch it, what do i do?

[GayNow]

The sound and the video are out of synch for me...I've tried real player and windows media player. Any ideas, anyone?

What kind of computer do you have? If you computer is too slow you might encounter problems like that. I'd say that clock speed of 1 GHz should be enough, but even little less will probably work fine.

Another possibility is that some of your video settings are screwed up. But it's hard to explain how to find solutions to that kind of problems.

If you want to try another software, I recommend MPlayer (GUI-version). I'm using it under Linux and it has worked with every single video file I've tried for the time being. BSplayer might also be worth trying, and installing it is probably a bit easier.

[Feena]

Thank you for posting this

I've downloaded it but I can't get it to play properly. I'm using Windows Media Player in Vista but I'm just getting the audio with no picture. :-(

Help!!

[GayNow]

I finally ended up trying Media Center and it worked perfectly. Thanks!

[molsongrrrl]

If you are hearing the audio but are getting no video - you need to install a video codec to play XviD videos. It's really easy to do.

Go here:
http://www.xvidmovies.com/codec/

Download the codec for windows and install. The video should now play!

If you need anything else let me know!

[SageHarris]

I'm so thankful. Molsongrrl you are amazing. I really enjoy the movie, is very romantic and fun. Amber beautiful as always!

[mixxie]

I'm new to the Buffyverse and I'm arriving a little late to this topic, but I'd very much like to watch the movie. I tried ftp://74.222.1.116/ but it appears that the "Amber" folder has been removed. Does anyone else have an upload of the file by chance?

Thanks!

[molsongrrrl]

i will get the file back up - probably by monday ... i'll update here when its done. please note - i'm not keeping stuff up there forever - so grab it right when i announce its up ... because it will be deleted soon after.

[mixxie]

Thank you sooooo much! I appreciate how much time and effort it takes to do what you do. I've looked *everywhere* else, with no luck. You're my only hope of being able to watch Amber's loveliness in "7 Things to Do Before I'm 30."

[molsongrrrl]

the video is back up - just follow this link:

[opengirl]

Thank you so much! Seriously, that's amazing, I can't wait to watch this!




Verily, I say to thee: thou dost rock the Casbah!

[mixxie]

Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! This is fantastic, thank you so much.

I finally watched this last night, and while I loved having a full movie of Amber to watch I found the movie itself pretty pedestrian. The plot was slow and predictable, the dramatic tension of what should have been strong moments never really got there (especially surrounding the [spoiler]"forgive my mother"[/spoiler] part of the plot), and all-in-all I thought Amber wasn't given an awful lot to work with script-wise.

Of course, all of this is overlooked because a) it's Amber, b) watching Amber portray any character is always a treat, c) Amber looks fantastic in a bikini, and d) it's Amber!

I was also kind of relieved to see Amber looking very healthy in this movie - lately in photos she seems so very thin in the face to me (I worry that she's feeling the pressure to conform to an unhealthy version of 'skinny' when I've never seen her even ~close~ to being overweight).

For the instantaneous Amber gratification brigade, a clip of Amber's Karaoke version of "Queen of Hearts."
I tells ya, Amber can really shake her groove thing and almost makes me wish for the days of disco once again.

But wait...there's more
I'd like to be under the sea, or in a swimming pool, with Amber.
