The Hall of Fire

British Muslims are calling for a change in the Race Relations Act to stop images of the Prophet Mohammed being published. :shock: http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/4694090.stm They are planning a protest march in London on 18 February, which is expected to attract 20,000 to 50,000 people. I am rea...

No Faramir?????!!!!!!!!!!!!! :shock: :shock: :shock: :shock: :bawl: :bawl: :bawl: :bawl: Apart from that :x, this sounds pretty good. :) :D Of course there would be lots of telesocoping of the story for a musical production, makes perfect sense to me. Mushing the battles into one - yes, of course. A...

Absolutely superb film. I have little to add to what's been said about it, but this really is an incredible piece of work. And absolutely heartbreaking. Jake and Heath are AMAZING. And I appreciated the film's compassionate and sympathetic attitude towards the wives and families of Jack and Ennis. G...

That pic of Éowyn and Faramir looks like Rumpelstiltzkin was drop-kicked into an ad for the United Dairy Farmers. :rofl: And what is up with the SQUIRREL???? And that picture of Idril ... what the dickens is she RIDING???? :shock: Some pig-like creature with an Egyptian headdress??? :scratch: Whaaa...

I had to buy the books, you see. They were ones to keep, just like the CS Lewis books. Absolutely. :) I have all the Narnia books, all the Little House books ... now I must build up my Anne collection again. 8) I guess they were paid fan-fic, in a way. Cool! Paid fanfic! My mother has some of those...

Well, I've done the Myers-Briggs test and find it perfectly fascinating ... and helpful. :) And I am a person who cannot STAND labels and categories. I am, however, intensely interested in personalities and what makes people tick. MB is just a tool for that, that's all. And personally I find it quit...

I re-read the Anne books over Christmas, while at my mother's, and fell in love with them all over again. :love: And I've just treated myself to brand new paperback editions - Puffin Classics - of Anne of Green Gables, Anne of Avonlea, Anne of Windy Willows and Anne's House of Dreams. 8) The one mis...

Found this most perceptive review of Narnia in Third Way magazine, a Christian magazine here: "Ultimately, the Narnia books are much less epic and more intimate than LOTR. Where this film tries to be epic, it doesn't quite work; where it stays smaller in scale (which is most of the time) it suc...

What was wrong with Father Christmas????

I thought his portrayal was delightful. And at least he wasn't all decked out in a scarlet coat ...!

I thought the Talking Animals were very well done ...

But that's just me.

But I can totally understand a lot of people finding the Sideways guy an unlikeable or uninteresting character. I find him neither unlikeable nor uninteresting ... he's foolish, certainly. But not unlikeable. (His friend is a selfish idiot but even he is not entirely dislikeable.) What I like about...

I enjoyed this movie greatly. :D Because it's poignant and witty and touching and it made me laugh like a drain. And because I was taken with Paul Giamatti's performance. And because I like road movies, which is what this is, really. It's about the disappointments and unfulfilled dreams of middle ag...

L. M. Montgomery was a remarkable woman who had a very hard life, all things being considered. She, of course, was the "real Anne". There is a picture of her as a little girl in the Green Gables house in P. E. I. The picture shows a pretty child with long hair and a sad, lonely expression...

I had to do this. And I hope truehobbit and Lali will come and join me. :) Well, I read and adored the book when I was eleven, and I found in Anne a truly 'kindred spirit'. This fictional heroine pushed all my buttons. I was an intensely imaginative child, rather withdrawn and very introspective, an...

Lali is a fan of Anne of Green Gables, too - and of the Kevin Sullivan mini-series? Good woman! :D Well, she's certainly a fan of the books. :) I've not read them for decades but Anne was certainly one of my favourite childhood heroines. I was an intensely imaginative child and she pushed all my bu...

Changed my avatar back for ya, Hobbi.

Well, I want to see if it makes Lalaith swoon as well.

Honey. Believe me. You'll swoon.

Colin Firth's Darcy,

He's puristy and red hot sexeh!

:oops: :oops: :oops: :oops: Hobbi, I just changed my avatar back to Lizzy and Darcy again. :help: Think you can cope with that? :P Think you can manage a swoon for the Darce, eh? :love: The Anne-girl is now my default icon on my LJ, so you'll be seeing her again! :) Too many pretty iconses and avata...
