Hello, everybody! We'll be watching the second part of My Fair Lady over here tonight, at 8 PM sharp, Central time. So get on around 7:45 so we can all get ready and set to go.
I recommend we all pause the movie right (supposing you all have DVDs) right when the screen goes black after the Entr'acte bit, and then we'll be ready to put it on play at 8.
For the evening I'm putting the comments on automatic to speed up the process (because I would be totally frazzled if I had to keep up with the conversation AND publish comments, haha) so we can all have a nice chat. :)
If you missed last night but would still like to see the second part with us, feel free to join in tonight!
Also, if you haven't voted for your favorite dress on the sidebar, be sure to do that! I have pictures of them all in my last post. :)
Aaaand here's a timer so we can all start at exactly the same time.

Alas! schoolwork is keeping me from attending the second half! Do have fun!
*dances in to Entr'acte music* Greetings. :D
Evelyn,
Me too!
Jess,
That's too bad! :(
Miss Jane,
Hiiiiiiiiii! :D Glad you could make it!
Anybody else here?
*taps fingers* Arrrgh, stupid VHS that takes so LONG to fast-forward...
For everybody's info, I have mine paused at exactly 1:43:00. It's probably different if you have a different DVD, though. The screen just went black but the last note of the Entr'acte music hasn't played. ;)
Miss Jane,
Haha, I feel your pain.
(Oh, look, Shakespeare's a poet...)
BAHAHAHA. I sense a Scarlet Pimpernel quote coming on...
Yay!! Ready for night two!! 1:43:00 is when the screen just goes black on my DVD.
Less than two minutes everyone!
Miss Jane- well, it was supposed to be a TABTO quote, but never mind. haha.
*points remote control at DVD player*
And here we go! :D
Started!
Ahhhh. Whoops. :P Argh, it's stiiilll goingg, so--could someone tell me where we are in a few minutes?
"How dare you KISS me on the CHEEK!"
Zoltan Karpathy needs a beard!
Sure, Jane, just let me know. why don't you fast-forward to a certain point at the ball and then I'll tell you when it gets there? :)
His sash thing is so cool!
Nobody needs a beard, but for once I think he's someone who wouldn't be dis-improved by one. :P
AWWWW Higgins comforted Eliza. :D HE KNOWS HOW TO DO MORAL SUPPORT?!
A cousin of his AND Higgins'? o.O
So she has sort of garden Bahahaha!!
"The situation is highly explosive!"
Strange how the announcement music sounds like Why Can't The English!
Okay, Eliza's ascending the stairs for me...
The queen has just gone to her platform thing
Jane - the Queen of Transylvania just did her Grand Walk and now everyone's talking.
The prince and Eliza are dancing...
Yay! I wasn't the only one who thought she looked like a Transylvanian!
Marry that dude! Not Freddy!
Also, I need a dress thy style of Eliza's!
Zoltan's "um wut" face, hahahaha.
Higgins and Eliza dance so well together! !!
I do love her dress...the hair is a bit weird, though. Haha.
YAY HIGGINS AND ELIZA ARE DANCING and Miss Dashwood and I ship them temporarily. :P
Her hair looks like a beehive. :P
Miss Dashwood had to be a little late tonight, btw, but she'll be here in a little while. :D
Colonel Pickering and Mrs. Higgins together!!! Yes!!
D'awww, cutiessss. :D Ewww, Zoltan. He reminds me of Mr Collins. :P
Higgins cloak!!
Eliza's face. :D
POOR ELIZA. I hate this part. Goodness, I would not be keeping quiet all this time if I were her...
Ahhh, because she was actually the queen of Transylvania!! (Sorry, I didn't catch that, but she looked it!)
Yezzz, she hardly behaves like a presumptuous insect, does she?
Pickering's "youuuu" makes me wince inside. Is that cynical and awful of me? :P
Yavo! (What language is that anyway?)
It WOULD be kind of fun to have people think you were a princess, hahaha.
Um. Transylvanian?
It would be kind of fun to have people think you were Hungarian :D
It would be even more fun if one got any credit for one's hard work...*Lydia-snort*
POOR ELIZA AGHHH.
YES ELIZA THROW THE SLIPPERS
Audrey Hepburn can sob and get sad/mad really well! Enter Sabrina and A Roman Holiday!
"The creature". Good grief.
She actually looks like a cat at that point!
Yes, you've behaved badly. MEANLY. Haha.
Yes, blame Colonel Pickering, Higgins.
I need to learn to say No like her!
That's basically how I feel about college/my future :D
I AM HERE MY FRIENDS. Temporarily. Haha. My internet is being shnib. Anyway, sorry I'm late. Had a meeting.
She and a Prior Engagement. :P
Her coat looks a lot Less Cute when it's open, haha. It has a nicer silhouette when it's buttoned.
I WANT TO GO TO BRIGHTON!!!!!!!!!!
My DVD just skipped :( Can someone let me know when she's at the fireplace?
Now *I'm* having internet problems. Is it contagious, Miss Dashwood??
I'm glad she's wounded him too. HUMPH.
Ashley, Freddy just started singing again.
So Sherlock Holmes...I mean, Freddy just started singing...am I ahead?
Thanks Amy!
Never mind, it seems I'm right on. :D
DAHLING YOUR EYES ARE LIKE VIOLETS
Um, Show Me just started, Ashley.
(But wut if her eyes AIN'T like violets?)
I think you are supposed to say it anyway.
I love how she just shuts him up. :D And he's like, um wut.
This is the same song that's used in the old Charlie and the Charlie Factory! And I like it. A LOT!
Sheets AND sheets...bwahahahaha. Her frustrated face when Freddy's singing!
Thanks Melody! I think I'm right on!
The spats on his shoes are so weird and out of place looking. I just noticed them, hahaa.
"DON'T talk at all!"
Freddy may be a dweeb but at least he doesn't let her make a hole in the river. ;)
Wow, those shoes ARE odd. (Heh, she and Javert should get together.)
Since when are you allowed to call her darling?!
WAHHHH SAD FLOWERMARKET SCENE. I'm glad she leaves Freddy in the cab though. He'd just be in the way.
Poor Freddy must be so confused...
THIS SCEEEEEEENE. I want everybody to recognize her, sigh.
This always makes me tear up...her FACE.
The Wouldn't it be Loverly reprise is SO DOGGONE SAD. I feel like crying.
Have a tissue, Miss? :P
Go ahead and cry, Amy. We won't judge. :P
And I want to cry SO BAD now that HER reprise is in the Cultured Voice. GAHHHHHHHHHH.
Eliza's hat is so weird though.
Sanks for the tissue, Jane. You're a duck.
Alfred Doolittle makes me laugh :D
Oh dear, here comes Mr Respeckible.
FAHHHHHther?????
She's a duck with a feather on her back. :D
Alfred Doolittle makes *me* sick. :P
Sadly, I'm wallowing in Transcendentalism and moral reform societies in literature right now. Not fun.
I bet his corsage is better than his bride's bouquet. Snort. Ugh, this song annoyyyyys me... I'mma mute it when it comes on.
*Bigger, not better. Hahahhahahhahaa.
My least favorite song is coming.
Definitely muting. How long is it again? :P
"Chuuuuurch?" Annnd there's a warning sign right there to prepare the mute button. :P
Freddy looks nice in this light!
Eliiiiiiiiza, I'M COLD IN THAT TAXI AND I WANT A SNAAAAAACK
I would say we should all f-f it except that would get confusing, haha.
LALALA CAN'T HEAR YOU ALFRED. Sooo...Melody, I like your profile pic. :D
Muted, haha. This song is like ten minutes long. :P
HAHAHA Amy that makes me think of Algy. "I'm all out of muffins." :P
Well thank you, Harriet dear! :D I do too, in fact of point. Haha.
Ew, drunken revelry. Thank you, filmmakers.
Welp, I'mma see how quickly I can hang up clothes from the dryer. It just buzzed. :P
Wow, I'm impressed, Miss Woodhouse...*I* would not leave anywhere to hang up clothes. SNORRRT.
Aaaand I'm back and it still isn't over, good GRIEF.
not everything was dry though, haha.
oh, we're done. WHEW THAT STUPID SONG.
Yay for Melody's dryer! XD
WELL, I'M DASHED. I'm so picking that up and using it.
Who told him his appointments before Eliza?
Tea instead of coffee sounds lovely to me. :D
I really like Mrs. Pierce's dress, haha. I would like it in my size.
It procrastinated for me, hahaha.
"Stop being dashed and DO something!"
WAIT DID PICKERING JUST SAY QUITE RIGHT
NO THAT IS NOT QUITE RIGHT
THAT'S SLAVERY
:P
MRS. PIERCE IS THE BEST.
BROWN BROWN BROWN.
Pickering is the definition of social awkwardness...
If anybody's seen the movie In Search of the Castaways, Colonel Pickering is the captain of the ship in that movie! (It's kind of a little known movie :)
I want to rewrite this song and have it be A Hymn to Her... except I'm no lyricist. Sigh. Just like Edward is no orator. :P
WHY CAN'T A MAN BE MORE LIKE A WOMAN THOUGH.
Fun fact: this movie was one of the first to use small personal microphones on an actor during scenes such as this, because Rex Harrison refused to sing his songs in the recording studio like everybody else. He's actually "singing" live in this scene. (I use the word singing very loosely.)
I'VE SEEN IT ASHLEY. :D He also plays about two different characters in Columbo, a police-detective show from the 80's.
Why can't a man take hints :P
I always feel like Mrs. Marshall Elliott in this scene.
Yes, Amy, singing is a very loose when applied to Higgins!
Yay Melody!! I need to check out Columbo!
"Oh yeah, I haven't talked to you for 30 years but can I call in a favor... yeah, thanks."
BLAST Mr. Higgins! I'LL miss her! That line's so sweet. And now Col. Pickering will never appear again. haha.
Bahahahaha Melody!
"BLAST, *I'll* miss her!" Haha, my sister just said she'd ship Pickering and Eliza if Pickering were younger...I might agree with her. :D
Ohhhh... sad. Bye, Pickering. :(
MRS MARSHALL ELLIOTT HAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHA.
Also, I've seen In Search of the Castaways. "Deliiiiightful child. Gaaaaalllant fahhhhther." :P
Weeping like an overflowing bathtub! A simile I have to use!
"Weeping like a bathtub overflowing". MUST USE THIS NEXT TIME I WATCH LES MIS.
Yeah, I might ship them if Pickering was younger, too. :D
YES I LOVE MRS HIGGINS
I SHOULD HAVE THROWN THE FIRE IRONS TOOOOOOOOO
Hayley Mill's voice though...
HAHAHA Ashley...two Simile Uses are better than one. :D
I SHOULD HAVE THROWN THE FIRE IRONS THREEEEEEEE
"Thing" indeed. Henry, shut your dirty trap.
HAHA THE COL PICKERING SPEECH
HOWEVER DID YOU LEARN GOOD MANNERS WITH MY SON AROUND
OOOOOH BUUUUUUUUUURRRRNNNNNNNN
I love that shade of pink in Eliza's dress...YES ELIZA YES MR. PICKERING IS AMAZING. SNAP SNAP SNAP YOU SHOW PROFESSOR HIGGINS.
No, Colonel Pickering did not treat you like a lady! Did he even talk to you after the ball!!! NO, COLONEL PICKERING IS NOT A GENTLEMAN!!! He talks about you behind your back and laughs at you!!!! (Yeah, I feel strongly about this. I'm even writing a scholarship essay about it :P )
Higgins is so horribly talented at pouting. :P
"I shall be excommunicated!" HAHAHAHA
THE WEATHER AND YOUR HEALTH
OH MRS HIGGINS HOW DID YOUR SON TURN OUT LIKE THAT WITH SUCH AN AWESOME MOTHER
"If you cannot think of anything nice to say, you will please restrict your remarks to the weather." Heehee.
I adore Mrs. Higgins. It would almost be worth marrying Henry to have her for a sassy mother-in-law, you know, Eliza.
... I SAID ALMOST.
The pink is gorgeous and the material is too. :D
I'm getting a Darcy + Elizabeth right now...awkward silences, bahaha.
At least Higgins treats everyone the same while he's with them and behind their back!
SO YOU ARE A MOTORBUS
Haha, well, Pickering still treats her a lot better than Higgins. And does behave like a gentleman most of the time.
I want to put Mr Higgins and Sherlock in a room together...and also Mrs Pierce and Mrs Hudson. They could compare grievances. EHEHEHE.
"Marry Pickering!" You could get your wish!
"Or would you rather marry Pickering?" YES ELIZA DOOOO. Or marry some younger clone of him.
SHEETS AND SHEETS!
Here's the speech that convinces me she's not Sweet On Him anymore, haha.
Oh, goodness, Ashley, good point about Pickering. I never even thought of that.
Higgins just got friend-zoned!
Oh goodness, Ashley, I swear I'm not trying to do this...hahaha.
Higgins is all WUT MEN AND WOMEN BEING FRIENDS HOW IS THIS POSSIBLLLLLLLLE
I'm always a bit mad at Pickering in the You Did It scene, haha.
A thick pair of lips, that always cracks me up. :P
How he says Freddy :D
"Haa haa HAAAA."
HA, HA, HAAAAA!
"I knew you'd strike me one day!"
GO ELIZAAAAA.
YAY this may be my favorite song. It gives me so much life. :P
Voice change!! I just snorted :D
I adore this song. It's so fun to sing, too.
Her smug smile in this scene!
Melody your comment just reminded me of Star Wars!
STRIKE ME DOWN!!! AND YOUR JOURNEY TO THE DARK SIDE WILL BE COMPLETE!
I want to be in that greenhouse and sing this song and wear that dress. And have that much hair. :P
Yes, I should like that much hair too. :D My short hair is beginning to Irk Me--I understand Fantine better now, ahahaha.
(And good point, Ashley! You're right, the feeling is sort of the same...)
Nope, you said you'd make a Duchess actually.
"You shall not be seeing me again."
He's like, wait wut.
Annnnd Higgins is just like WAIT WUUUUT.
I do hope I'm not too fashionably late friends!
BRAVO ELIZA.
It's braVA, Mrs. Higgins. But yeah.
HAHAHAHA, Amy, remember the dramatic hitting of the mute button... :D
I'm sorry but nobody sings this song like Anthony Andrews.
Alas, the nephew mentioned earlier is still here so it's on in the background.. I'm chasing him around
The street looks so much like a set here.
Hi, Evelyn! We're on "I've Grown Accustomed to Her Face" right now.
I doooooo remember the Dramatic Hitting of the Mute Button. I did it so well, too, and was so proud of myself. hahahahahhahha.
You are not sorry, Amy. You're proud of it. ;D
I'll try and come back in soon! No Etha'klsf;hasafvoac
(He's on my lap
I was proud of you too. And excessively diverted.
*sigh* Still haven't heard Anthony Andrews sing it. But AA does everything better than everybody else. Except possibly Aaron Tveit.
Awesome! Thanks Melody! :D
Aaron Tveitt is amazing
Haha, the street IS a set... Hey, Evie! You have a new profile pic, it's so purty!
Hhahaha yes! Hey Amy!! Yes indeed! I found it and was like oooooooooooh
;afdiuodklasfh.ca,nfsal
^from cousin
Sorry, I had to go for a minute.
STOP GIVING ME FEEEELS MR HARRISON.
Mr Harrison I find you guilty of causing me to have a case of feels
Higgins needs to get things Straightened Out before any kind of real relationship can work though... haha.
He may be a jerk but dis song makes me sadddddddd.
Plus all the stuff he said about Freddy is probably true. Hahahahahha.
Bahaha, this is true. Eliza needs to just find somebody else...nobody in this musical would really work for her, IMO.
Yeah Evie!!! Also, I missed the Dramatic Hitting of the Mute Button apparently :D
Haha Jane, you and Evelyn keep saying the same things, it's swellissimus. :D
OOH HE'S LISTENING TO HER VOOOOICE
She's like "HE MISSES MEEEEEEEEE HAAAAAAA"
Does he record everything!! And he wears a fedora!
Oh indeed! Jane we think alike! :D This is so delightful!! Honestly!!
It bugs me SO MUCH that this recording doesn't match what was said at the beginning...
AHHHHHHHHHH.
Annnnd I GOT CHILLS.
AND THEN SHE TOLD HIM TO GET HIS OWN BLANKED SLIPPERS.
