saw it, but didn't think anything of it but it totally does look like that! that'd be cool if it was an homage.

Black Hearted Love
Send His Love to Me
C'mon Billy
The Letter

As for allusions in the Black Hearted Love music video, I always saw similarities between the ending and the ending of Send His Love to Me...just PJ freely dancing.

so here i am, feeling compelled to actually post for the first time because i can't vote either..
so here are mine:

c'mon billy
that was my veil
a perfect day elise
the piano

Sorry, the problem is with the style "fisubice" I haven't checked them all but some of the other styles seem to work, you can change you style under board preferences.

Checking the support forums, fisubice is a 3rd party design and their attitude is that it's not a phpBB software problem, it's a fisubice problem and you can look elsewhere for an answer. So far, I haven't found anything.

Is That All There Is?
50Ft Queenie
Man-Size
That Was My Veil

Honestly I think most of her videos are crap, as most videos are these days (and the days before, few directors seem to be able to create good videos for some reason). But I like Down by The Water. Not that it's a good video but it works. Black Hearted Love is also watchable IMO.

Hmmm, don't mean to offend you, but I guess that maybe you haven't realized that PJ's videos charm lies in the simplilcity and the meaning that simplicity gives you

I really like PJ's videos, there's almost no videos out there that could compare to PJ's (even if PJ's vids are extremely simple and may could seem like a boringfest)

man-size for its simplicity
c'mon billy for Polly's dramatic skills
henry lee because i love Nick and Polly as a couple
this is love because it was one of the reasons i fell in love in Polly

This is Love
Is That All There Is
Good Fortune
Who The Fuck

More than watch stories, I like to see different parts of PJ herself: the extremely sexy, the reflexive, the life lover and the irreverent.

Regarding filmed drama, I use to like A Perfect Day Elise and (although it is not a PJ song and isn't part of this poll) Ballad of the Soldier's Wife.

music videos like ballad and cmon billy have me convinced that polly could act in movies if she so chose (in which i would immediately attend and reserve a dvd copy)

im still waiting for the comedy/music mash up shes mentioned... how fantastic would that be?? *daydreams*

^ Wasn't she in that Hal Hartley movie? I can't judge 'cause I haven't seen it.

she was but i suppose i mean more like a real movie... for some reason in my head that isn't? lol a larger role will be nice and hopefully a clearer picture book of life is just a little too blurry for me

lol I really need to find that movie, or at least her parts. I think she'd be a great actress.

Lots of people like c'mon billy.

my votes go to
Man-Size: disarmingly raw and simple but funny and expressive nonetheless
Send His Love To Me: love the dramatic atmosphere and the way she dances
This Is Love: just too sexy, fits perfectly with the powerful love song (can you name a love song energetic and raw like this?)
The Piano: for the way it subverts pornography, I find it very sad and emotional

The wind gets 0 votes? wow?
