There was actually quite a bit to gnaw on in this one. We have a circa 60's house with a vicious dog. It's supposed to be Jules' house, but somebody--definitely not Jules--is in there. I wonder: if Daniel or Jonas had been the one looking in the window would the people inside have reacted differently?

And where is Jules? That place sure didn't look lived in. Mind you, I'm fine with the no Jules bit, but "me thinks it is a trap!" OOOH goose pimples! :)

Happy as a clam!

Okay, so in the original there was something in the beginning with Sarah teasing Daniel.

Daniel also had said that he would marry Taylor in about 18 yrs (or 15... I can't remember) and they both laughed.

There was a lot more skateboarding stuff with Jonas and Bree.

There was this whole other point with the guys on the tennis court talking about how in Texas it's legal to shoot Trespassers.

The guys also had explained that the girls were going to distract the dog.

There was a longer part about who was going to crawl through the window.

Sarah said (when running) "I don't want to get shot"


I think that's it....

Thanks, Chelsey.

Goddammit, now I want to see the rest.

A video I absolutely love comes along (I loved the last one too, but still) and then it's compressed to 50%.

Oh and the whole shaky camera, surveying the perimeter part was a little longer.

The beginning of the video I saw basically, from my POV, showed Daniel being very peeved with Sarah's jokes.

I'm sorry guys...

But, I must admit, I kinda like the compressed version better. Except, I don't like how they cut out the skateboarding stuff.

OH! I forgot... Daniel emphasized more that BDJ were all "just friends"

I wonder if the creators know our attention span really is longer than 3 minutes? Actually, it could have been a band width issue. The number of fans viewing a 5 minute video could have blown them out of the water. That's what Ronin pontificates, anyway. LOL!

I think I need to PM the Creators and see what's up.

They know, but - without having actually seen it - I'm thinking they probably felt like it dragged. "Quality over quantity" may be what was on their minds with regard to pacing, etc.

That said, though, now that we've actually seen the short version and loved it (I'm speaking for me anyway), they should know it's safe to show the rest. Sooo come on, guys!

You couldn't be more wrong.

There is no Bree-Jonas love angle; there was playfulness. Jonas is lost, but he does understand that Bree still doesn't understand romance.

Daniel is lost as well. Sarah seems to be interested, and the cherry stem thing is a bar trick that men use to pick up women:

1. Take two cherries from the condiments tray in the bar.

2. Secretly tie a knot in one stem, and then put it under your tongue.

3. Get the desired woman's attention and say "check this out."

4. Show her the untied stem and place it in your mouth, then swirl it around a bit.

5. Pull the tied stem out of your mouth, look at the bartender, and say "check please."

This actually works more times than "knot."

I'm sure they had their reasons for cutting the video short...

Did you ever consider the possibility that many people's constant complaining about 'pointless filler' sections motivated them to cut scenes that would have prompted a similar response?

It sounds like what they cut was what many have been griping about lately anyway(Skateboarding scenes with Jonas and Bree and similar events would probably be pointed out as 'useless' had they been left in)

Poor Creators just can't win anymore :roll:

It's all about perception vs. reality here!

And I really enjoyed this video! I've waited days to say that.
