(And Harriet Smith. haha) There are things about both I like better than the other, and I've only read bits and pieces of the book. I think the acting, etc. was better on the 1997 one, but it was too short to have the whole story! And the 1983 one wasn't made as well and all, but it had more direct quotes from the book, at least what I read of it.<br /><br />I'll be trying more version soon. :)Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05676306236172688321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5490346761566035007.post-16577066271154667852011-03-31T01:33:22.939-04:002011-03-31T01:33:22.939-04:00Melody,

For years my family and I really enjoyed the version with Charlotte Gainsbourgh & William Hurt. But then my dad read the book to us and I saw the 1983 Zelah Clarke / Timothy Dalton version and liked that even more. While the 2008 Ruth Wilson / Toby Stephens miniseries is stunning and has many amazing features it's not been high on my list of favorites, I'm just not quite satisfied with it. I do look forward to seeing the new adaptation hopefully some time in April but I doubt that it will get as close to the book as some of the older adaptations. <br /><br />Which is your favorite?<br /><br />~Miss Laurie<br />Old-Fashioned CharmMiss Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00973247921599001493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5490346761566035007.post-76347811758999767922011-03-30T20:17:24.275-04:002011-03-30T20:17:24.275-04:00Which IS your favorite adaptation? =)Which IS your favorite adaptation? =)Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05676306236172688321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5490346761566035007.post-62615400647356747712011-03-30T13:15:35.701-04:002011-03-30T13:15:35.701-04:00Melody,

I haven't see that version in a long time though.

Melody, the letters you ...So many lovely comments!<br /><br />Melody, the letters you and your friend are writing sound like so much fun! I might be posting some place I'd like to visit in Ireland so if you have any suggestions of places to visit in Ireland let me know. <br /><br />Farmgirl, I like his accent too but not a huge fan of his looks. I haven't seen too many of his films because they're often a bit over the top. I did like him in The Magnificent Ambersons, it was a difficult conflicted role to play but he did a great job. <br /><br />Miss Virginia, I remembered Liam Neeson is Irish but I haven't seen him in very many period dramas. Also he said some things about C.S. Lewis and Aslan that I don't agree with. I'm not a huge fan. Thanks for mentioning him though.Miss Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00973247921599001493noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5490346761566035007.post-33839653843049034602011-03-15T15:33:40.124-04:002011-03-15T15:33:40.124-04:00Liam Neeson is Irish.Liam Neeson is Irish.Virginiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04335034522220078982noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5490346761566035007.post-61635004670569331382011-03-15T14:25:27.649-04:002011-03-15T14:25:27.649-04:00Jonathan Rhys Meyers doesn't look very good in...Jonathan Rhys Meyers doesn't look very good in glasses!<br /><br />I saw him in a movie called "August Rush"<br />not a very wholesome,good movie for children skip the beginning and will probably be okay,except some bad language through it! <br /><br />I loved his accent!

My friend and I...oh how shall I explain this... Well, we each chose a character and we write each other letters set exactly 200 years ago. My character lives in Ireland, and sometime in the near future, we'll be getting together to 'act out' our characters. She's supposed to be 'coming to Ireland for a visit'. :) (She lives in Italy. haha)<br /><br />And it really has nothing to do with St. Patrick's Day, we just wanted to do it over spring break.Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05676306236172688321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5490346761566035007.post-87211941208563563622011-03-15T12:20:18.390-04:002011-03-15T12:20:18.390-04:00Don't worry Anna!
