Hello and welcome!

[BroTrevor]

"it's well funky"

Is that a british term??

<chuckle>

Hi and welcome..

Have you heard of the interrogation tradition here yet?

Prepare yourself to answer intruiging questions of little import, but of high entertainment value for how quirky they are.

[JoeC]

Glad to have you - from the sounds of it, you've all the makings of an avid poster - right up there in the ranks of the greats!

This is your thread, so feel free to talk about anything you like. Might be one of the few times you have the power to tell someone to be quiet. :)

[BroTrevor]

She'll have the opportunity to tell someone to be "quite" what?

[JoeC]

Typing error. Lizzi, please tell him to be quiet.

[esther]

welcome lizzi..im sure you're already enjoying! :banana:

[redeemed_lizzi]

i have never been so popular ever in such a short time! lol...no wait actually there was high school - that was a good time *sigh* funky is one of my lizisms and i have a lot more as you will find out :) however if you want some britishisms i'll be sure to throw them in. my life is an open book, apart from chapters 3 to 27.:D jokes. But bring on the interrogation, lol.I'm working as a teaching assistant at the moment in a special needs college (which I really enjoy)and I've decided to become a Social Studies teacher. So in a very small nut shell that is me and my life at the mo.So ta'ra chooks and keep the posts coming coz my head loves being the size of a blimp :)

[elizabeth]

another one who likes anne shirley! :aaaah:

[esther]

Lizzi i just noticed this: "Tommorow is a new day with no mistakes in it"- Anne of Green Gables by L M Montgomery. - i love that movie (very clean and full of wonderful lessons). in fact all of us in the family love the story. we saw it countless times and never got tired of doing so. :thumbup:

As i remember it, Ms. Stacy said "Tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet." :D but then again, i like anne's version (without the yet)..she's not pre-empting that mistakes are already expected thought they are inevitable.

sorry guys i just have to comment on this..i dont know if you're familiar with this movie.

[redeemed_lizzi]

As i remember it, Ms. Stacy said "Tomorrow is a new day with no mistakes in it yet." :D but then again, i like anne's version (without the yet)..she's not pre-empting that mistakes are already expected thought they are inevitable.

Lol, see now if I was going to be picky I would say that Anne Shirley said it to Rev Alans wife in the novel (or was Marilla, or did she in fact say it to Miss Stacy in the book)-see now my point is about as firm as a fault line. Nevermind.I love Anne of Green Gables both the book and the movie. It's just class.

[HotShot53]

Lol, Anne is too funy.... Though the first book and movie were the best, as she got older the books & movies started getting less funny and more romantic...

[BroTrevor]

<losing respect for Hotshot....>

You....like....Anne?????

[HotShot53]

Lol, I have wide-ranging likes :) If you noticed on the other thread, I like most musicals, too ;)

[BroTrevor]

Yes....I mean, some musicals....

well....but....I mean... Anne Shirley??

puhlease!! Do you know how much torture those things put me through? I mean...BOTH of them are 2 TAPES each!!

GAH!

[HotShot53]

Lol, you mean you only watched the first 2 videos of it? (I have to admit though, the third one wasn't as good... running around during a WW in Europe isn't the best place to be...)

[JoeC]

<culture detector passes over BroTrevor. Readout: 0>

[Mick_Mack89]

And how many of you guys out there have seen pride and prejudice (A&E version) I've seen Anne ,with an E, several times. Your right DJ, that last one in WW1 was horrible. :drool:

[HotShot53]

I don't remember if I saw that or not... I think I saw Sense & Sensibility, though.

[Mick_Mack89]

I've seen little bits of that. I don't remember it well though.

[Jeni]

I'm not a guy ...but...

I love the A E version of Pride and Prejudice..and I know Snoop has seen part of it..because he's waiting on me to see the second part. (and yes..he liked it) -hides-

I get called Anne of Green Gables all the time...kinda scary in a way..cuz i'm not the whimsical romantical thoughts type. But I can see me in the rest of her.

...who said he has to be tall dark and handsome?

good clean movies...and yes I can see how they would be torcher to any male. I would never dream of forcing it on a guy more than once.

[NeedGod]

oh jeni, you are too kind. i would make them watch it over and over. and i\even when they bored me, i would still claim i want to watch them just for the kicks. hahaha<<<was that laughter evil enough? :-p

[JoeC]

OK, I admit it, I like Jane Austen chicks flicks.

[elizabeth]

Pride and Prejudice A & E? what does that mean? i've seen the newest version of Price and Prejudice, it's very nice and decent. i've also seen sense and sensibility and Anne of Greengables of course but not the last one. Is it really bad?

[JMG]

OK, I admit it, I like Jane Austen chicks flicks.

I second that motion...

[elizabeth]

sense and sensibility was written by Jane Austen? and are her books as decent as the films?

[Mick_Mack89]

Pride and Prejudice A & E? what does that mean? i've seen the newest version of Price and Prejudice, it's very nice and decent. i've also seen sense and sensibility and Anne of Greengables of course but not the last one. Is it really bad?

A&E is who made it. It's an older version from the nineties. Its pretty good. (my personal favorite is the mother)

[elizabeth]

so u don't like the new version? i haven't seen that version..some said the british version was the best

[JoeC]

sense and sensibility was written by Jane Austen? and are her books as decent as the films?

Her books are rather wordy and voluminous, with so many characters you quickly forget who is speaking about who. Good books to read before bed. If you want to enjoy it, watch a movie.

As far as decency? I haven't heard of anything wrong with them. The movies are probably worse than the books, simply because of the women's dress of the period (although full dresses, the tops are rather low).

[elizabeth]

probably because she was an 18th century author ..but sometimes it's difficult to understand the words being said and not all that's written on the book is being showed on the film..too many scenes are skipped

[JoeC]

Well, scenes skipped or not, you still get the message of the work - while enjoying yourself.

[elizabeth]

i agree..but you can enjoy more when u read the book plus u can understand the story a whole lot better :D

[JoeC]

I'd rather spend my reading time with Louis L'Amour.

[elizabeth]

Louis L'Amour...an author of what sort of books?

[JoeC]

He is the writer of western novels.

[elizabeth]

lol the? :Dhehe

[JoeC]

pronounced 'thee' - it carries the connotation of being the best or highly regarded. :)

[elizabeth]

lol i know but is he really? :D

[JoeC]

I don't know any other western author who has 4.6 million websites (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&safe=active&rls=GGLG,GGLG:2005-52,GGLG:en&q=louis+l%27amour&spell=1) mentioning his name.

[elizabeth]

well i've browsed several websites..never heard of him :misli:

[JoeC]

Did you follow my link?

Many, many of his books have been made into movies. Also, in the US, you'll be hard pressed to find a library who has more western books of any other author than L'Amour. US libraries are probably a pretty good judge too, since the traditional western genre takes place in the west.

[elizabeth]

can u name one movie? and besides i'm not american so that explains why i havnt heard of him :D

[JoeC]

Why can't you just accept my assertion that he is the most prolific, most well known, most widely appreciated, and, in most circles of the genre, the most respected author of western novels?Anyhow, we're on a tangent. Feel free to break in whenever you want, lizzi.

[elizabeth]

well probably because i don't know him :tongue:

[JoeC]

Ummm, have you ever been out west. Do you read western novels?

[Jeni]

yah your mom got you hooked on those eh joe?

the last anne of green gables...it wasn't as good as the first two. (of course) but...it ended the story...and anne and gil FINALLY got married. its worth watching.

[JoeC]

I'm afraid I haven't cultured myself on that series. My favorite type of writing are those books that entertain while bringing fresh ideas and perspectives.

[blessed]

Where is lizzie???

[Babyruth]

Welcome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[elizabeth]

Ummm, have you ever been out west. Do you read western novels?


:o alright well i haven't really..books i read are the likes of anne of agreengables and Jane austen's stories :D

[redeemed_lizzi]

The British version (BBC produced) of Pride and Prejudice is the best version I've seen so far. I haven't seen the newest version yet but I can't wait to. I think you'll either love Jane Austen's works or hate them. I didn't really appreciate them till my A-levels (I was about 17), but I remeber despising them when I was younger.
I like Emily Bronte's 'Wuthering Heights' and I think my favourite books at the mo are Noughts and Crosses by Malorie Blackman and Shadow of the Wind by a Spanish author.
What happened to my interogation? ;)

[JoeC]

Collegegirl just came back to the forums, so you'll probably be hearing from her soon. :ninja:

[KlosetBlonde]

Hi lizzi :greetings

-KlosetBlonde

[HotShot53]

Lol, collegegirl came back for about 4 posts... don't know how back she really is...

[Blood Washed Bride]

I would venture to say that the best version of Pride and Prejudice I have seen is the A & E film starring Colin Firth and Jennifer Ehle. I thought the actor who played Mr. Darcy in the BBC version was too starchy and didn't bring the proper depth the the character. Firth manages to speak volumes with his eyes alone, creating a masterpiece performance.

I would not classify the newest version of P & P as 'decent' due to paintings typical of that era that are seen in several scenes. (Guys, please do not watch this; if you do, please don't tell anyone it was recommended on YQF. *wink*) The actors did do a fine job, but Colin Firth still gets my vote for best 'Mr. Darcy' ever. (Even if he did hate playing the part.)

Jane Austen's novels are not only clean, but they frown on low morals and point out human frailities. I would recommend them to anyone, although I realize they are not to everyone's tastes.

[NeedGod]

oh dear, i love jane austen. she has such lovely books. i absolutely adored Emma. totally :thumbup: but i dont like watching anything i read so i havent watched them. watching waht youve read removes the juice out of the reading.

[redeemed_lizzi]

The Colin Firth, Jennifer Ehle version is actually the BBC version. I remember when it was done and shown over how ever many weeks and plus I have the DVD. I'm not sure what other BBC one you could have seen. But I totally agree that Firth and Ehle played the parts terrifically. Only thing is their dresses were soo skimpy. how in the world did they survive in the winter with only their tiny jackets?

[redeemed_lizzi]

[HotShot53]

Lol, actually, you misspelled 3 words in there ;) Copy and paste it into Word, and you can find them easy enough.
