The Revue: Steal my Kisses/Textual Healing English spoof

I’ve cut a one-act (Bec and Nick’s take on the Eng­lish Advanced course) bit of The Revue and com­pressed it into a digestible chunk, and have pub­lished it on Our­Me­dia.

Get the dialup-happy ver­sion here (it’s 5MB or some­thing), or [25MB decent qual­ity ver­sion com­ing, if it ever uploads. Their site sucks. Watch this space.] See this update for more.

Our­Me­dia is ter­ri­ble to use aside from the whole free band­width and stor­age thing. I hon­estly don’t mind sup­ply­ing ridicu­lous amounts of meta­data, but its inter­face is absolutely painful — and, to make things worse, if I do as they rec­om­mend and use their crappy “Our­Me­dia Pub­lisher Tool” (it sucks, don’t use it unless some­one has a gun to your head, and think twice even then… the gun to your head may have noth­ing to do with Our­Me­dia!), I can enter all the meta­data I want in its “help­ful” wiz­ards, and none of it will make it through to the actual site. Thanks guys. I’m now upload­ing a higher res­o­lu­tion ver­sion again via HTTP, because… yeah, you guessed it, the Pub­lisher tool crashed.

There must be some­thing about that name and crappy soft­ware. Microsoft’s prod­uct was (I haven’t used it for years) far more sta­ble, but equally pathetic.

I’m think­ing about switch­ing across to Google Video instead, but am reluc­tant to because it locks data in a lit­tle bit more… so, we’ll see.

Okay, I got sick of try­ing to pub­lish it for free… so it’s going up on the same server host­ing the year12.joahua.com site (appro­pri­ate, niet?). Audio is a lit­tle cleaner in the WMV ver­sion… but if you want near-source qual­ity instead, get the DVD. Here’s the broad­band ver­sion. If some­one feels like con­tribut­ing cap­tions, be my guest.
