Ever After: Princely Proposal

Ever After: A Cinderella Story
(DVD)

Hello, Friends! Today's videos feature one on my favorite romance stories, "Ever After: A Cinderella Story" and the delightful 'intended rescue with proposal' scene.  These videos are the creation of pbbcanada and fairiewannabe24, at YouTube.   

In 'Ever After' Prince Henry (Dougray Scott) proposes marriage to Danielle (Drew Barrymore), his true love.  If you've already viewed the movie, you already know how delightful the entire scene (and movie) is!  Below, one video gives you the actual scene and the other focuses on the words, the dialogue of the intended rescue and the proposal.  Enjoy!

Hello, Friends! O.K. fellow Merlin fans here's a new video, by elonda78436, I discovered this past week while working in my YouTube account.  It features the tune "Ain't No Other Man" by Christina Aguilera and reminds us, via the selected scenes, of the mightiness of this Prince Arthur.  He's outstanding, to say the least!  We ladies appreciate our 'princes' being so strong in 'battle' & so gentle with us!  Also, the video demonstrates the theme of the lyrics, which is, this Guinevere  truly loves no other.  Neither the gorgeous & kind Lancelot, nor the gorgeous & kind Gwaine (portrayed by Eoin Macken) are her true love.  No, Arthur Pendragon is the only one she truly loves. Ahhh,  faithfulness is so wonderful!  And mutual faithfulness is the best!

Ever After, You're My Summer Rain

Ever After: A Cinderella Story
(Blu-ray)

Hello, Friends! Today's featured video is of the movie, 'Ever After: A Cinderella Story' with Drew Barrymore, Dougray Scott and other wonderful actors and actresses.  As the title suggests, 'Ever After' is a 'Cinderella'-type story.  It's one of my favorite romance stories and I think the following fan video by 'veryval' at YouTube is lovely with the accompanying tune, "Summer Rain", by Hayley Westenra.  I think you all will enjoy it!

The Lion of Judah in 3D: Judah the Lamb

The Lion of Judah

Hello, Everyone! As you probably know by now, I love animation / cartoons and have since my childhood, especially Disney animation. I love to share new animation I've discovered with you, too! Late last week I learned of a new, 3D animated movie, 'The Lion of Judah', which was released to theaters on June 3rd, this past weekend. Based on the trailer I think its a great movie to view with your entire family.

The story of 'The Lion of Judah' is about a lamb named Judah (no, not a lion) who is taken by some people to be a sacrifice. His six furry and feathered

Country Dance

Good day, Everyone! I hope you're experiencing a blessed, blissful life! Today's post features the dance talent of a lovely family.

Note: The tempo of the music is wonderful, yet I apologize for the 'he_l yeahs' and such that the singer uses to express her point. It is a place, for sure. And some use the word as a 'curse'. So, you may turn the volume off, if you prefer. I'm sharing the family's dance skill, and I think you'll enjoy their performance!

Lady Morgana Pendragon & Maidservant Guinevere - Future Queens of Camelot


'Merlin' Series

Hello, Everyone! Today's post features a Hulu 'Advanced Video Panel Widget' and 'Video Panel Widget' for the BBC show, 'Merlin'. Currently, season / series 3 of 'Merlin' is airing on the SyFy channel, here in the USA. Season / Series 3 has already aired in the UK. This widget features full-length videos, as well as clips, of the show. The 'Advanced Video Panel Widget' is featured in this post. The 'Video Panel Widget' is featured in 'Camelot Series, 'Merlin' Clips and Full Vids Widgets - Part 1', on this blog (because whichever one is on top is the one that renders fully in the post, when both are present).

The widget is customizable, as follows:

• Orientation: Horizontal or Vertical
• The number of thumbnails (images): One, Two, Three or Four

The widget is available in two versions:

• 'Video Panel Widget' - the clicked / selected video will play off-site / away from your site
• 'Advanced Video Panel Widget' - the clicked / selected video will play on-site / on your site. It features an integrated video player that utilizes Javascript so that viewers can watch the video without leaving your site.  It will not be visible on the page you want viewers to see it on if your hosting company does not permit the execution of external Javascript.

'Merlin' Fans, be sure to check out the 'Merlin' Montage I've created.  I think you'll enjoy it!

An Aside:

While I was onsite I read some of the viewers comments about the 'Merlin' show's 'Guinivere' actress, and one in particular was very rude toward the actress; the commentor didn't think she should be cast in the role due to his/her opinion of her outward appearance. Several others agreed with him/her. I wonder what we would think of their appearances if we could see them? No matter what we think, there is no excuse to be rude, nor unkind.



Morgana & Guinevere: Friends and future sister-in-laws

 I can see that the actress portraying 'Guinevere' is a natural beauty (a person's skin hue / color does not prevent me from noticing this, as it does for others). I think she does a really good job portraying this role, as an actress. Also, as a maid, 'Guinevere' is not supposed to be a 'make-up beauty'. Therefore, having a natural beauty play this role is key. Some people are so accustomed to seeing images of 'make-up' beauty / 'make-up' handsomeness as in movies and magazines that they do not recognize natural beauty and consider a natural look to be plain and un-attractive. And, of course, to some people only certain skin hues / colors are beautiful. Being a fan of the show, I've viewed the behind-the-scenes clip of how this actress came to be chosen and, in a nutshell, they stated that during the audition they realized that she was exactly the actress they were looking for;she qualified.

Additionally, I'll state that many human beings pass judgement and share their opinions on the outward appearance, including skin hue / color, of other human beings and do so in a very rude and crude manner, to say the least. Ultimately, only one opinion matters and that is the opinion of the One that created the different skin hues / colors, our Creator. I've noticed that the red rose does not look like the white gardenia (and were not designed nor created to) yet, the red rose is equally as beautiful as the white gardenia, and particularly so to their designer / creator, the Creator.

To that rude commenter and those like him/her that only appreciate their own skin hue / color I want you to notice that the 'Morgana' actress wears a lot of eye make-up to achieve the 'Morgana' look / appearance. I've seen photos of the 'Morgana' actress without her 'Morgana' make-up and she, too, is a natural beauty. Both actresses, the 'Guinevere' actress and the 'Morgana' actress , are natural beauties even though they are wearing two different skin hues / colors. Both of those skin hues / colors are beautiful. Both of those 'race-colors' are beautiful, equally.

To all people that are looked down upon, and picked on because of your Creator-selected skin hue / color by other human beings wearing a Creator-selected skin hue / color, I encourage you to remember He thinks your skin's hue / color is absolutely perfect and beautiful for you. He obviously thinks you will wear that hue / color wonderfully! Furthermore, those that find it worthwhile to call someone else ugly and say rude, unkind things about others often are filled with hate, for others and for themselves, which is a self-imposed ugliness on the inside, flowing outward. Their opinions are worthless in comparison to the One that gave you that beautiful skin hue / color you are wearing. No matter what 'race-color' an individual of the human race is wearing, you can count on this truth, the Creator thinks it is b-e-a-u-t-i-f-u-l! I do, too!

Conclusion:  We know the Creator likes gardens; think of Eden. So, we know the Creator likes flowers. Have you seen the huge variety of flower hues / colors in existence? It's safe to say that the Creator thinks more colors than white are beautiful. From His perspective we humans, with all our gorgeous hues / colors from the darkest to the lightest, look like various beautiful flowers of this big garden we call Earth.

Note: When I screened the Merlin episodes, 97% of the commercials that run during the breaks of the videos were family-friendly. Only a few of them were ads (advertisements) for alcoholic beverages (for holidays) and other things. As I screened the videos, I voted for the family-friendly commercials. Hopefully, that percentage will increase to 100%, since Merlin was intentionally designed to be 'three-generation' friendly programming.
