If you will excuse me, I would like to say a prayer from the Holy Book that I just bought. Literally, today!
“Believe and Thau Shall Be Enlightened”
That’s right! I just bought yet another copy of Fingersmith, only this time it is the Hardcover version! Why? Well…Today I sat two finals and I was feeling pretty great so I decided to drop into the cinema to see Civil War. The thing is, the movie was a ways off for the IMAX version and I didn’t feel like going home and then coming back to the cinema so I figured that I could spend the time reading something. But then I found out that I had left my Fingersmith copy at home!
What do? Well, I have money and lots of time going shopping so to the nearest Bookstore I went. Looked around, went into the gifts section and there I found a Hardcover version of Fingersmith! All plans for a different book went out the window, because not only was this a hard cover, but it was also the old and best cover with those lovely signature Maud’s gloves!
So happy was I that in the cinema I went right back to the first page! only got to Gentleman just arriving to Lant Street (Sue’s home) then I had to go to the movie! The feeling that I felt seeing this cover, on a hard back made me think that this was my Book of Faith now.
So imagine my shock when I get home to find that there is another video! a video much longer than the ones that have come before. A video that introduces us to the characters. A video that gives us scenes we have not seen before!
Yeah~
This week, these past few days have been heavenly! Awesome things are happening to Yukirin, FINALLY! And then there is this – A movie that is promising to be my favourite movie of all time until the end of time (my time)!
These days are just too good to be true! And what’s even weirder is the fact that I don’t have any bad feelings about that fact. Usually when things are too good to be true, I get a fore bonding feeling and it always comes true (See early last year and the year before that) but not this time! And I don’t think my yuri-powers are failing me.I can’t explain it but believe me on this one, please.
I have included MF zip for the combined videos we have so far in glorious Full HD obviously, because anyone who still deals in SD in this day and age deserves to be executed!!
In those vids BTW, there is a subbed trailer and I better warn you that I completely ignored the names they decided on the characters! I don’t know if they are real or if it is a translation error but ‘Hideko’?! NO, Just NO! I will stick with the original character names, thank you very much!
Anyway, about those new scenes…(PS: Thank you so much for the heads up whatever)
Definitely their first meeting. I can hear Sue’s thoughts in my mind right now during this scene!
Extension of that scene with Maud pimping up Sue. And someone is having pleasure is Sue’s pain!
Sue trying to convince Maud (And herself) that Maud loves/will grow to love RFR.
I think I have a ‘whatever this scene is’ fetish!
Sue un-dressing Maud…with her eyes (and hands)!!
”You pigeons”
So much Maud and Sue, and yet there are still detractors! This world has completely lost it!
Okay, I didn’t actually hate Uncle in the book but it looks like I am gonna be praying for his death in the movie!
As for RFR…
He’s dead as fuck! Forget the book, Sue is ready to murder him in this cap (LOL)
Also notice how Sue is ignoring him? I mean in the book it is part of the plot, but I don’t remember that being the case at Lant Street as well.
Speaking of Lant Street, John Vroom and Nancy people! Nancy who taught Maud how to kiss. I wonder if they will put that in the movie in a quick flashback. Oops, that was a spoiler, wasn’t it?! Damn!
Beautiful!
Cool! I don’t know why but instead of cute, I really find Tae-Ri real cool. While Sue presented herself as a badass in the book through her thoughts, and she was somewhat, I never thought of her that way. Looks like I am just about to fully comprehend that character trait of hers in the movie!
I don’t remember there being these many girls at Briar! And who is supposed to be Margaret anyway?!
Hmmm, I don’t remember that!
Watch, as people get disappointed and rage when they find out this is not some generic Threesome romance. I await the wars!
Yes, yes, I know some of you are tired of posts about this movie but you are just going to have to skip these posts because they are going to be made every time a new video hits…EVERY! SINGLE! TIME! That’s the only heads-up I give you. That’s how much Fingersmith, and consequently anything related, means to me!
But I have babble enough, here be the link to the vids…ALL OF THEM!

There are some fairly good reviews in France too (but in French obviously, so I wont link them).
