Man from UNCLE: The Communicator and an Open Mind Affair

Love, dependence, comfort, control, bitterness, regret and a strange desire to see the other in physical pain... it can only be the Illya/ Solo relationship, Yay!
Dedicated to UNCLE fanfic writers everywhere :-)

The footage is mostly Man from UNCLE with little bits of Hustle or NCIS thrown in and the song is Hands Clean by Alanis Morissette.

Please - where is the clip at 1:26 from?

[Thebigbluemeany]

The Gurnius Affair, a season 4 episode :-)

[mayitpleasethecourt]

unwatchable (too many images too rapidly), but this is good: Love, dependence, comfort, control, bitterness, regret and a strange desire to see the other in physical pain...

you're not 22.

[Thebigbluemeany]

Oh no honestly mayifpleasethecourt I am. I know all my fandoms may indicate otherwise but really, I am 22. : )

This video is absolutely brilliant, and I have to watch it repeatedly to catch all that's going on.

That first shot of Illya (around 0:14) -is that from UNCLE, or something else? He looks particularly hot there.

[Thebigbluemeany]

Thats a lovely UNCLE close-up, and yes, he does look particularly nice there :)

[Shifterred]

This is going to be a blanket statement, but...

I wish people would stop using the "clips are too fast, boo!" line on these videos. I love the rapid pacing of the clips. The 'important' bits always slow down and it adds meaning and pacing. It's a fantastic and beautiful editing trick.

So there.

I love this video! I just got an idea for a fan fiction story from it. Thanks so much for sharing. :)

[leoniedelt]

in fact, i'l be a naysayer to those who think these clips come too fast, and point out that is what makes Meany the best vidder *evar* - BECAUSE the clips go so fast! Its very, incredibly awesome and makes her vids so much more interesting than anyone else's! You gotta watch very closely to see what's coming next! Sometimes you even have to watch a few times to get it all! I LOVE it!

[leoniedelt]

meany, this is a superb vid! i hadnt seen it until now. well done!!!

[spotsycool]

I've loved this vid since the first time I watched it 2 years ago. It really is an awesome vid. And I don't care what some people have said about the clips being too fast, I think the editing is absolutely fabulous! The fast-pacedness of the clips just make a cool vid even cooler! lol

[GaryPeterson67]

Great work! My one quibble is as others have noted--too many images quick-cut way too fast. As I felt a Scanners-like headache coming on I was reminded of the "blipverts" from Max Headroom. I especially enjoyed your including later clips of Vaughn and McCallum and hoped to see some from Vaughn's outstanding 1972-74 series The Protectors, a show UNCLE fans should embrace.

PS: Was it me or did this video smack of the UNCLE equivalent of Star Trek's K/S sicko subgenre? K/S is still BS.

[amayaconway]

Watchin this vid 2 yrs on still love it and the song :)

Jus wish i cud watch the series, i've tried lookin everywhere with no luck, my mum had sum eps on video but there there gettin a bit worn out now :(

[slobomotion]

@irksomeone1412 Yeah, this clip seems to be the best.

[slobomotion]

@swordfish1929 I, too, think this clip is really outstanding. It lets us see some of a great old series, combines exciting newer music, and the editing is just so artful. I am 53. You younger ones can see a lot of this stuff now and I hope, be inspired! I am looking at film noir here in France, now, where I live, and have three movies in pre-production. The challenge is to be inspired yet make it new! cutecatfaith d com is me xo

[slobomotion]

Astonishing clip! Bravo or brava! I love Alanis, too, that was a plus. This imaginative TV series had me learning Russian, moving to NY alone, then Paris, and I was just in Turkey on my own. It really inspired me, an Amish kid from Ohio! Thank you so much. A lot of work went into this.

[swordfish1929]

I think this has to be my favourite MFU fan vid. The song is perfect and I love the clips of NCIS and Hustle in there.

As for the 22 year-olds I can top that I'm 16. So hurray for the new generation getting into good TV!

[irksomeone1412]

I just keep coming back to this video over and over again- the technique of the faster clips interspersed with slower ones perfectly produces the visual imagery of memory, as one's mind skips from one event to the next, lingering here and there. What a wonderful vid. Thank you so much!

ps- here's another 22-year-old mfu fan! represent the new generation! :D
