Still, none of Mr Rickman's performance was as funny as the casting of a
Scotsman as the French speaking king of England. Still with Sir Sean's
well known talent for perfecting accents I'm sure no-one noticed :-)

Can't stand what's-his-name, so have never gotten all the way through that
Robin Hood.
Holly likes Fred Astaire. There's a time warp situation for you! I'm
really kind of glad Holly's so interested in the 1930's, because I never
really was, and now I'm always learning more with her, and from her, and to

I collected back then...books, old photos, posters, albums of him singing.
Later on, there was video (ooohhhh!) and I got some of the movies, too. Tell
Holly I totally understand. He was a suave guy for his time. :o)
Life is good.

really kind of glad Holly's so interested in the 1930's, because I never
really was, and now I'm always learning more with her, and from her,

I think the new American Girls series of books, featuring "Kit", is set
in the Thirties. Do you think they would be too simplistic and cutesy
for Holly?
And on the flip side, the movie about marathon dancing (They Shoot
Horses, Don't They?) is probably way too depressing. Have you done
Paper Moon?
Did you know that there was a campaign in California to get everyone to
read The Grapes of Wrath on the same day this year? You two visited CA,
but you may have missed the day... <g>

I agree, but I just figured that it was because there was so much to get in, and it's already a long movie, so they put in as much as they could to get the story across, for those that haven't read the books - I dont understand why someone wouldn't read them, but then thats just me-. I'm guessing that the next movies will be even choppier, being as they are both much longer and full of much more.

They're changing directors.
I liked the first one, but I thought the second one was very much done as a
boys' movie and it wasn't written by and for boys.
(Sorry if that seems prejudiced, but that's how it seems to me.)
Instead of the relationships among the kids being stressed and that being the
thread that tied scenes together, the stars of this show seemed to be the
flying car, the whomping willow, the spiders... They had larger roles in the
movie than they had in the book. And Ginny Weasly had very little (and
deserved way more).
Moaning Myrtle wasn't moaning so much as she was squealing and whining, too.
That bothered me some.
But the kids liked it, and that's good.
Does anyone know if they've decided who will do Dumbledore now?

Right. They took out all of the everyday conversations, classes,
homework and not-super-dramatic events.
My reaction to the movie, even after reading the book 4 times, was "man,
this is a scary place to go to school!"
And I think ALL schools are scary, so that's saying something! <g>
