She looked like the village idiot. However I like the 2007 version of Captain Wentworth much better than 1997. Cirian Hinds was acting as if in a play and his gruffness was straight out of Jane Eyre and he loked so old.

I think she would make a beautiful Anne--after all, if she can do Amy Dorrit that well, Anne Elliot should be easy. I know Anne is supposed to have brown eyes, and Claire doesn't--but Sally Hawkins didn't either. So that doesn't matter.

And I now have 1995 on DVD so that one would be easy. ;) <br /><br />Haaa. Well, if I were Anne and I thought he was engaged to Louisa, I'd be kind of like "he's pretty stupid, good thing I didn't marry him after all." SNORT.<br /><br />Waait, you actually PREFER Ciaran Hinds??? Ugh! How could you?? :P I mean, sure, Rupert wasn't perfect, but good grief, both looks AND way-of-acting were wrong with Ciaran Hinds. He was so... Ciaran-Hinds-ish. Kind of gruff and vulgar and not like how I like to picture Regency Gentlemen. ;P<br /><br />You know, watching the 70s and 80s miniseries sound like a good thing to do together WWFHOC, don't you think? ;D (I love acronyms.) Of course, there are some I think you should definitely watch before that if it ever happened... like P&P 1980. ;) But Emma is SO. BORING. I don't know how they make such a brilliant story boring, but they do. :PMelodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05676306236172688321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648706431833666913.post-54892922402350474742014-01-12T14:18:24.839-07:002014-01-12T14:18:24.839-07:00Randomness, did you ever show me the copy of Persu...Randomness, did you ever show me the copy of Persuasion that you won on Miss Laurie's blog? Tootuz I don't remember that, and I know I should have liked to see it if I'd thought to ask you. o.O<br /><br />Anyways, long ramble here. First off, I think I need to rewatch both versions of Persuasion, so *cough* if you're up for doing that over Skype sometime I totally would be. Just sayyyyyyyin'. <br /><br />UGH ANNE'S HAIR IN 2007 UGH UGH UGH. The Regency era had so many pretty styles and a few weird ones... WHY couldn't the movie peeps focus on the purty ones? Pet peeve. :D<br /><br />You are going to be shocked at this. But, um, I kind of LIKE the dramatic element of Anne thinking that Captain Wentworth and Louiser are Engaged. Even though JA didn't write it that way. I KNOW I KNOW I'M HORRID. <br /><br />And as I've said before, Rupert Peanutbutter and Jelly definitely LOOKS like Capt. Wentworth, but I'm just not sure he IS the character. I prefer Ciaran Hinds. You can't stop me.<br /><br />I do adore that scene where everyone's complaining to Anne about everyone else. Ehehehehehehe.<br /><br />We went over a lot of this stuff in the guest posts, of course, which I just went back and reread for fun, so I don't fink I have anyfing else to say... la de dah, la de dah....<br /><br />I'm kind of thinking maybe someday I should just watch all the 70's and 80's JA miniseries. The problem is that they look boring and do not interest me. SNORT.<br /><br />Lovely post, dahling. :DMiss Dashwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15821653607968651548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648706431833666913.post-41668384599024368712011-08-23T11:04:56.073-06:002011-08-23T11:04:56.073-06:00I liked The 2007 version of Persuasion,but it felt...I liked The 2007 version of Persuasion,but it felt gloomy at times.Ellahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18273799468202316317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648706431833666913.post-72793247745466271112011-08-22T16:55:55.958-06:002011-08-22T16:55:55.958-06:00Sorry for not responding to your comment sooner. I...Sorry for not responding to your comment sooner. I thought the Gwyneth Paltrow version was best, but that was before I watch the 2009one. Oh, and we got the movie from the library and we're going to watch the 3rd episode tonight.Mariahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02297989443217404313noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648706431833666913.post-30385550140569691352011-08-19T19:58:22.214-06:002011-08-19T19:58:22.214-06:00That's a good idea!

I just didn't. ;-) Well I was planning to, but then I didn't like the feeling of knowing nothing about Mansfield Park, so I watched the 80s version. The books was a lot better of course, but at least that version got the story right.Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05676306236172688321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648706431833666913.post-45074002117700247512011-08-17T13:38:39.508-06:002011-08-17T13:38:39.508-06:00Melody, You don't have to post this comment.
...Melody, You don't have to post this comment.<br /><br />I've really been meaning to comment on this lovely post and I will do very soon!<br /><br />Thanks so much for participating in Anne Elliot's Birthday Party and Giveaway and for linking to me! I am SO excited to let you know that you won a copy of Jane Austen's Persuasion! I'm also hoping to send something extra, so if you send me your full name and mailing address I will send your prizes out to you!<br /><br />~Miss Laurie :)Miss Laurie of Old-Fashioned Charmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11096222035851269474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648706431833666913.post-59602576944953270852011-08-14T19:57:20.871-06:002011-08-14T19:57:20.871-06:00I think of the 1995 movie and the 2007 movie, I li...I think of the 1995 movie and the 2007 movie, I liked the 2007 one a little more. I really liked Sally Hawkins's Anne, though I must admit her hair did catch my eye every so often (not sure in a good way or a bad way). During the concert, Elizabeth Elliot's hair really bothered me: it looked like something from the 1830s! I would like to see another version, though, preferably a miniseries. With a miniseries, there can be more time to get into more details.<br /><br />Oooh! I also just bought Mansfield Park the book! Haven't seen any of the adaptations of Mansfield Park, but maybe when I finish the book, I'll watch the 80's version and see how it compares.Miss Elizabeth Bennethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02019249086339232260noreply@blogger.com
