Julie Andrews

Hello everybody. I just registered on this site and thought I would introduce myself : I am Julie Andrews: the magic words from the film “bedazzled�.

-------------------------------

Besides, I would like to have your opinion about an interesting experience I made last summer.

I began to watch the famous film “brief encounter� from David Lean, and I stopped after ten or fifteen minutes.

Afterwards, I listened the audio-tracks only, recorded on a audio-CD , without watching the pictures.

It was very amazing to imagine the scenery and the setting. And when I finally watched the film, I was most amazed.


Somebody shared perhaps the same experience...

Captain Flint

My dear Julie, I find Your Idea brilliant.


Allow me to tell you that you are as clever as you are charming.

As an avid busybody around the TV set, I often 'iisten' to movies far more than re-watching them, scene after scene. I'm normally embarrassed to admit how many films I "listen to" on the TV, but I probably do it far more often than even I'm aware of.

Action sequences suffer (it's hard to tell who's head is rolling down the carpet or just how high the blood splatters along the walls), and gee, that ALWAYS disappoints me! (oh yeah, sure...)

But "Good Is Good" and the great films are great stories first. Too few films use the scenery as a critical element - I would never be happy only listening to the excellent LAWRENCE OF ARABIA but if I'm only watching it on TV instead of the big-screen, smushing down all that scenery has a castrating effect anyway.

(Or so I'm told... after all, this is a man's world... ha ha)

You can Watch it after having listened it,
and not only listening,
Or listen after having watched as well.

Hello, Julie.

please, tell me:
How can I do, to get audio-tracks from an Audio-DVD?

Moor Larkin

Is this Tantric?

I bought a video of a hard-to-find Patrick McGoohan movie years ago. It was the Austrian Teufelsweib. As it was dubbed I couldn't understand hardly a word they said. Fortunately it was melodrama and, apart from one scene, when the characters were sat still in chairs and there were several of them in the room, all talking at once, I found I could pretty much guess what they were saying, from the way they gestured and posed. I was quite surprised. The music of course was universal.

When I finally got the Norwegain version of the same movie I couldn't read the sub-titles but the original English soundtrack of The Gypsy & The Gentleman was most satisfying.

Answer to Sam:

Let us not annoy this lady with technical considerations.
Let us be gentlemen.

Steve Crook

Practically perfectly in every way

Thank you, Steve,
You are more refined than that churlish Flint.

Sam, I insert the DVD into my computer, and use some audio-recording program set to the "WHAT YOU HEAR" setting and let the movie play. I end up with a WAV (or MP3, although I'd recommend WAV at first unless hard-disc space is limited) file upon completion.

Then I use some WAV file editor and chop up the WAV file into 5 or 10-minute segments, almost like chapters, so I can skip ahead or back.

Thank You, Christine, I'll Try it

You still see that Chimney Sweep bloke?

Welcome to my house. Enter freely, and of your own will...

Julie Andrews

I see what you mean.

But, no hope for you:
You won’t sweep anything with a small brush.

Harleybloke

You didn't tell him he had a small brush did you..............?
