I am Number Four</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
So, I when I went to watch the movie, I hadn't read the book and I didn't really know much about the plot or anything. Despite the fact that I felt it was potentially just another one of those new movies, they all bring something different, and this had been recommended by several friends, so I went into with pretty good expectations.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
If I were to give my opinion in conversation in one sentence, it would be: Yeah, that's a good movie, I liked it. But since this is a post, I'll be a little more specific.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img src="http://vignette2.wikia.nocookie.net/iamnumberfour/images/8/83/54dae80e3d54e_-_esq-i-am-number-four-0211-lg-7051656.jpg/revision/latest?cb=20160405005148" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Number Four</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I liked the character of Number Four, or John Smith. He was a pretty believable sort of hero, typical teenage sort of character. (Seemed a little old for a highschool student, but that's typical movie style.)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Sarah and John<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
Then of course there's The Girl. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Sarah was okay. She was sweet, and their relationship was cute, I just felt like she was a little shallow as a character. She seemed to just smile and blink a lot. I do like the fact that he ended up with a normal girl, and not Number Six, the other alien.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
Henri</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I liked Henri. As a guardian, he sometimes seemed the over-protective father, but for good reason. He was kind, and a great character.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="264" src="http://media.jrn.com/images/ap-film-review-i-am-number-four.jpg" width="400" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Number Six</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Six was pretty cool, she had a lot of action and not so much deep character develop in her short amount of screen time, but she got the job done. It was also neat to see an Australian actor (I'm a Kiwi but it's still cool).</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Ugh, the Mogodorians. They were a little gross, but just picture 10 ft human-like aliens with bald head tattoos and gills. Yeah. </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The mean kid, whose name escapes me, was an okay character for the plot, and I gave him a little sympathy in the end.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Oh, Sam. My absolute favourite character.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Sam Goode</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The underdog, bullied kid, and sidekick. He was very sweet, determined, and caring. And hilarious.</div>

Actual cinnamon roll right there.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The plot was pretty good, I enjoyed it overall.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The ending was a little disappointed, it felt really leading like it was building up to a sequel, but there hasn't been a sequel, sadly. It has potential, especially with later books in the series.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
A good movie, I'd gladly watch it again.</div>

So if you don't already know, Green Gables Fables is a Literary Inspired Webseries based on the Anne of Green Gables books. (I think officially the first season is based on Anne of Green Gables, the interlude in transmedia on Anne of Avonlea, and season two on Anne of the Island)</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Season 1, Episode 1</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I can't remember exactly how I stumbled across it, but one day I found it and as the first season had all already aired. I could marathon watch - yay! </div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The first few episodes could be a little boring with just Anne talking and talking, but was good to really set up her character before anyone else was introduced. Then the action gets going and it was just so enjoyable, I loved it. The adaptation was good for a modern version and the characters were explored a little more, which I loved.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Anyway, brief overview. I know. Go watch it.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
But first, I want to talk about the characters.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
Anne, played by Mandy Harmon</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
I wasn't sure at first, but Mandy played an excellent Anne, I just loved it. She portrayed the romantic, fantasizing teenager well, and she had some great humorous lines in there.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The only time she ever annoyed me was as the character, Anne can get so stubborn sometimes, I always get annoyed with her when Gil is so apologetic.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Gilbert, played by Tanner Gillman</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Ok, Gilbert. I just love Tanner so much as Gilbert. I would even go as far as to say <span style="font-size: x-small;">I liked him better than Jonathan Crombie's version. Shh.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
To be honest, I think his Gilbert was what really made this adaptation for me. He added so much to the character of Gilbert, mostly his humor. Also he just looks like Gilbert.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">Transmedia</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Transmedia was such a huge part of the webseries, particularly in the second season, it really developed the characters and sometimes introduced key plot points.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Prime example (season one):</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<img height="400" src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/d9/55/82/d9558216367e0074bb030f5eea160ca4.jpg" width="273" /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
It was really great because it showed realtionships between different chracters, but the characters also interacted with the fans, which is really neat.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
Some parts are storyline, while others are just unrelated pure gold:</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<img src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/14/b7/91/14b7912faf1d4d1b0018b3ea8a0578b0.jpg" /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
And with Season two it just gets better:</div>

Season two was just a bundle of feels and joy.</div>

(However many are reading, that is)<br />
<br />
I have been off this blog for an age, and I finally to decided to try to get back into it (emphasis on the word <i>try </i>hehe). So new template design, new posts...yay!<br />
<br />
Anyway, to start off, I thought I'd do a few snippet reviews of movies or books and whatnot and see how I go. Please do let me know if you have any ideas/suggestions.<br />
<br />
So if you are reading this, thank you, I'll try to keep up with it a bit more.<br />
<br />
Well tally-ho then, hopefully I'll be around.<br />

A tag!<br />
<br />
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHt6Wuq99BEEu9WgaiNuE8PfpUgTf5s9NObrWiuG-_EWFJWqfU-aOFuq3pHQIyyFFIsMmOFvVj9tHHkOYz47J2wHwdh9-VM2XAWCHP5isVHS3VCaMiUWvt8YeYXIEqo_-NDQDE_6sPWyw/s1600/blogparty.jpg" imageanchor="1"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHt6Wuq99BEEu9WgaiNuE8PfpUgTf5s9NObrWiuG-_EWFJWqfU-aOFuq3pHQIyyFFIsMmOFvVj9tHHkOYz47J2wHwdh9-VM2XAWCHP5isVHS3VCaMiUWvt8YeYXIEqo_-NDQDE_6sPWyw/s320/blogparty.jpg" /></a><br />
Here are the questions, and my answers:<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">1. The obvious question...how'd you</span><span style="font-size: large;"> get introduced to The Scarlet Pimpernel?</span><br />
Blogs! Mostly <a href="http://miss-dashwood.blogspot.co.nz/">Amy's</a>. We got the book on Kindle and I devoured it :).<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">2. If you could meet any of the characters in real life, who would it be and why? (You can use the obvious choice of Sir Percy, but this is your chance to get creative ;))</span><br />
Yeah, obviously Sir Percy, but otherwise maybe Suzanne, cos I think she's really nice, or one of the League guys, cos they're cool :).<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">3. What are your top three favourite quotes from the books/movies (yes, just three)?</span><br />
"Sink me!"; (Haha, original, right?) [Sir Percy singing "God save the King" in revolutionary France;<br />
and, oh...I can't think of another one...I need to read it again :)<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">4. Who is your favourite <b>supporting</b> character in the books? (Percy and Marguerite are ineligible)</span><br />
Um, that's a hard one, seeing as I have only read the first book. I do quite like Suzanne.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">5. Which film versions have you seen, and which do you like best?</span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;">I haven't seen any. </span>But I really want to. The Anthony Andrews and Jane Seymour one, of course :)<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">6. What's your top-absolute-favourite scene in the <b>first </b>book? </span><br />
Um...I really like the scene in the inn in France when Percy outwits Chauvelin with the pepper-snuff. :)<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">7. If you could dream cast a new adaptation of the book (a period piece, that is), who would you choose to play the roles of Sir Percy, Marguerite and Chauvelin?</span><br />
That's hard.<br />
I would cast Aaron Tveit as Sir Percy; I'm not entirely sure why...But, Enjolras and Sir Percy do have <a href="http://miss-dashwood.blogspot.co.nz/2013/10/that-really-long-post-about-enjolras.html">some similarities, right?</a><br />
Marguerite? No idea.<br />
Chauvelin? I think maybe Geoffrey Rush. He could do a French villain. He played Javert in an inferior version of Les Mis.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">8. Do you think the Scarlet Pimpernel does his work purely for "the love of sport," as the narrative would tell us (and as he would often claim), or does he have more noble motives that he won't admit? Explain your answer. Show your work.</span><br />
I think he does have more noble motives, but he just won't admit it. He really wants to save people. I don't think he would endanger himself and others <b>solely</b> for sport, though it's probably a small part of it :)<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">9. Second to Chauvelin, who is the worst villain in the book series and why?</span><br />
Having only read the first book, I cannot say.<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">10. What's the favourite novel in the series...?</span><br />
See previous answer.<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-size: large;">11. If you could change one thing about your favourite version of the movie, what would it be?</span><br />
I haven't seen any. :(<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">12. Lastly, how would you convince a skeptical friend to read/watch TSP? What is it that you love about it?</span><br />
It's really exciting and it has suspense and mystery, and it's not hard to read. Now read it. What do I love about it?? Two words. Sir Percy!! He's so funny, and clever, and brave, and all that.<br />
<br />
Thanks for the tag, Amy!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white;">The Rules:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif; font-size: x-small;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21.5599994659424px; text-align: start;">~Thank and link back to the person who tagged you.</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 21.5599994659424px; text-align: start;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21.5599994659424px; text-align: start;">~Tell how you were introduced to Jane Austen and share one fun fact about your Janeite life (this fun fact can be anywhere from "I stayed up all night reading Emma," to "I visited Chawton and met Anna Chancellor.").</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 21.5599994659424px; text-align: start;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21.5599994659424px; text-align: start;">~Answer the tagger's questions.</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 21.5599994659424px; text-align: start;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21.5599994659424px; text-align: start;">~Write seven questions of your own.</span><br style="background-color: white; line-height: 21.5599994659424px; text-align: start;" /><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21.5599994659424px; text-align: start;">~Tag as few as one or as many as seven other Janeites and let them know you've tagged them.</span></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21.56px;">I was introduced to Jane Austen via my first viewing of P&P95 at about age 10. Since then I have read P&P, Northanger Abbey, and most of S&S and parts of Emma. </span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21.56px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21.56px;">Janeite Fun-fact: I plan to attend an English Country Dance in October; at another dance we danced a version of the dance Lizzy dances with Mr. Collins in P&P95. (My sister nick-named it "The Collins Caper"!)</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21.56px;"><br /></span></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21.56px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21.56px;">1. Who is your least favourite Jane Austen character and why?</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: start;">
<span style="font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><span style="background-color: white; line-height: 21.56px;">That's a hard one. Maybe Willoughby or Wickham. Because they're both villains. But Willoughby more, because he broke Marianne's heart. :(</span></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: start;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><img src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhVXeUXcbwhGLZikilH8RfFXHwh9nC2qFx48JDmW7b1H6LIJ3t4cOZBR4YkjQuzqYmFAv1O2zicvFyNq8adk-ZSJlbGyyx4mGdXzV6GDaYWqN2vU2NXaV6H9Y41dMyari8_ZAS-04VmtjA/s1600/willoughbywickham.jpg" /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: start;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: start;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">2. Where would you rather live: Pemberley or Donwell Abbey?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: start;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Probably Pemberley.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: start;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><img src="http://www.thecultureconcept.com/circle/wp-content/uploads/2012/11/40-Lyme-Park-Country-House.jpg" height="265" width="400" /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: start;">
<span style="background-color: white;">"I do not think I have ever seen a house more prettily situated." - Lizzy, P&P95</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: start;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: start;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">3. Which is your favourite of Austen's books?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: start;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I actually quite like <i>Northanger Abbey</i>. </span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: start;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><img src="http://www.examiner.com/images/blog/replicate/EXID38529/images/NorthangerAbbey.jpg" height="400" width="243" /></span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: start;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">4. If you could choose to invite 3 Jane Austen characters for tea, who would you choose and why?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: start;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">Emma Woodhouse and Lizzy Bennet, because they're my two favourite Austen heroines, and Mr. Knightley, because he's one of my favourite Austen heroes. (And he's really funny)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: start;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: start;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">5. If you were one of Austen's heroines, where would you choose to spend the summer: Bath, London, or Brighton?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: start;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">London. I would LOVE to go to London!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: start;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: start;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">6. Who do you think are the most sensible parents in Austen's novels?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: start;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I think Mr. & Mrs. Morland, from the ones I've read of.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: start;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: start;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">7. Do you 'ship' any of the minor characters from the books/movies?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: start;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My sister and I once jokingly shipped Caroline Bingley and Officer Saunderson from P&P95!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: start;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">And my sister invented Mr. Collin's cousin for Mary Bennet!</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: start;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: start;">
<span style="background-color: white;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: start;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">I am tagging whoever wants to do it :)</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: start;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: start;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">My questions for them:</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: start;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">1. How many of Austen's novels have you read?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: start;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">2. Which Austen film do you like best?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: start;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">3. Mr. Darcy or Mr. Knightley?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: start;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">4. If you could visit either Jane Austen's house at Chawton, or the set of Pemberley in Pride & Prejudice, which would you chose?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: start;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">5. Which is your favourite Austen quote?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: start;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">6. If you could cast anyone to play Mr. Darcy in a dream cast Pride & Prejudice, who would it be?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: start;">
<span style="background-color: white; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;">7. Which Austen film costume is your favourite?</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: start;">
<span style="background-color: #f3f3f3; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, serif;"><br /></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 22.3999996185303px;"><span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">If you were going to write a book, what would you call it and what would it be about?</span></span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">
<span style="line-height: 18.2000007629395px;"><span style="font-family: inherit;">Ah. Yeah, well, I've tried countless times to write a book, but have never gotten past the first few chapters. I'm not much of a writer. If I could write, it might be a Les Mis fan-fic sequel.....called....something. I dunno.</span></span></div>

<span style="line-height: 22.3999996185303px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; font-size: large;">What’s one of the scariest things you’ve ever done?</span></span><br />
<span style="line-height: 22.3999996185303px;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit;">That's a hard one. I haven't done many scary things in my lifetime. I really don't know. The scariest thing would probably be performing a skit in front of 200+ plus, which isn't that scary, really. </span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit; font-size: large; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;">If someone were to make a movie about your life, who would you hope would play you?</span></span></div>
<div style="line-height: 18.2000007629395px;">
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I'm not that particular as long as whoever it was looked like me and understood me and what I'm like. :)</span></div>

<span style="background-color: white;"><span style="font-family: inherit; line-height: 22.3999996185303px;">Have you heard of Les Miserables? Um, well, I might ask that, but I don't really know. Maybe "Do you like reading?" or some other such question relevant to who the person is or where we are.</span></span></div>

<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
I am determined to go about this review in an ordinary manner. Given that this series is fairly new, I shall do my best to keep spoilers to a mild minimum. :) I will just add, however, that this series is based on a true story. </div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
The series is set in Post-WWI Chesire.</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
Firstly, I'll talk about the characters. At the end, I'll highlight the main reasons I love it so much.</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
Anyway, Characters.</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
George Mottershead</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<img src="http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/corporate2/images/width/live/p0/24/rn/p024rnd0.jpg/624" /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
The main character, George Mottershead, is husband to Lizzie, and father of two daughters. He lives with his family at his parents house behind their shop. Having served in the War, he still has bad days, flashbacks, scars both emotionally and physically. He also (in case you couldn't guess) loves animals. </div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<img src="http://www.cultbox.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2014/08/Our-Zoo-Lee-Ingleby.jpg" height="224" width="400" /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
He has a strong will and determination, and is sometimes called stubborn. He has a strong vision for building his own zoo, but has trouble explaining to others who simply don't want to know. </div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
Lizzie Mottershead</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<img src="http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/corporate2/images/width/live/p0/25/z2/p025z27f.jpg/624" style="text-align: center;" /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
At first Lizzie doesn't quite understand her husband's ideas, but she soon gets behind him and supports him as much as she can. She tends to be the practical/sensible side of the plans. </div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
Muriel (Mew) Mottershead</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<img src="http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/images/ic/480xn/p025hl8v.jpg" height="360" width="640" /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
The elder of the two daughters, Muriel is a bit like your typical teenage girl, who loves lipsticks, dressing up and listening to records. So she's not exactly thrilled about the whole zoo idea, but she grows into it, and finds herself enjoying it :)</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
June Mottershead</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<img src="http://i.guim.co.uk/static/w-620/h--/q-95/sys-images/Guardian/Pix/pictures/2014/10/7/1412690248798/Appealing-period-drama----012.jpg" /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
June has a sweet relationship with her father and is always behind him. She loves animals as much as he does, and adopts one of the first animals they get (above), Mortimer the monkey. </div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
"Gran" Lucy Mottershead</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<img src="http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/images/ic/480xn/p025hl72.jpg" /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
Gran is the most against the zoo of anyone at first, it's a wonder they got anywhere! She misses her other son, George's brother, who didn't return from the War. In time, she realizes George's dream, and comes to like it herself. </div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
"Grandad" Mottershead</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<img src="http://assets.whatsontv.co.uk/whatsontv/live/styles/large/s3/images/2014/08/10_0.jpg" /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
It was Grandad who helped to set the zoo in motion, by selling his shop and helping George purchase a large house and grounds for the zoo. He doesn't always understand his son, but he is always right behind him and ready to knuckle down and do some hard work to get it done.</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
Billy</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<img src="http://www.chesterzoo.org/~/media/Images/catering/Our%20Zoo/biographies/billy.ashx" /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
Then there's Billy, Lizzie's brother. Billy is funny, though sometimes a little reckless, but nevertheless a strong supporter of the zoo. He assists George on one or two of his animal capturing adventures, and acquires the group of penguins. He likes Frankie, from the Council, and she helps him when they are having the court hearing for planning permission for the zoo.</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
Archie</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">

<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
Archie the post-boy is the shopkeeper's son. His father died during the war and he lives with his mother and helps her run the shop. He likes Muriel.</div>

<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
Archie is very funny but sweet.<br />
<br />
<br />
Then there's Archie's mum, the shopkeeper. She is one of the townspeople most in opposition to the Chester Zoo. Later in the show, however, I felt really sorry for her....for reasons I shall not reveal at present, :)<br />
<br />
Lady Catherine Longmore<br />
<img height="200" src="http://www.chesterzoo.org/~/media/Images/catering/Our%20Zoo/biographies/lady-katherine.ashx" width="400" /><br />
Lady Catherine Longmore is the next-door neighbour, who is very kind, and most certainly in favour of the zoo.<br />
At first I wasn't so sure about her, but she is very nice - I grew to like her more as the show went on.<br />
<br />
<br />
Rev. Aaron Webb.<br />
<img src="http://ichef.bbci.co.uk/images/ic/480xn/p025hkt9.jpg" /><br />
Now, this guy. Well, he pretends to be nice, but, as I tell my sisters, "*I* always distrusted his appearance of goodness! Ay, and told the girls [my sisters]; but would they listen?" *Sorry shake of the head*<br />
<br />
Anyway, yes, after the fashion of Mr. Collins, a clergyman who you don't really like. But he was worse than Mr. Collins - spiteful, in fact. Anyway, *no more spoilers* I'll try :)<br />
<br />
Dr. Barnaby Ford.<br />
He was nice enough; he didn't always favour the zoo, but that was mostly because so much of the town was opposed to it, he could well lose business. But I like him anyway, 'cos, well, he's also Joly.<br />
<br />
<img height="224" src="https://chronicchronicler.files.wordpress.com/2014/09/billy-and-frankie.png" width="400" /><br />
Then there's Frankie, the girl who works at the council. Billy and she like each other. </div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<img height="224" src="https://chronicchronicler.files.wordpress.com/2014/10/aww-sweet.png" width="400" /><br />
She's very kind, and does what she can to help them - she even brings them a snake she rescued from being taken away after it was found in the council building!<br />
<br />
I just love the characters! (most of them)<br />
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
Reasons I love Our Zoo so much:</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">1. The accents</span> and just the general British-ness of it.</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<img src="http://i.dailymail.co.uk/i/pix/2014/08/28/1409242707912_Image_galleryImage_Our_Zoo_Trailer_Grabs_htt.JPG" height="245" width="400" /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">2. Archie</span></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<img height="223" src="https://chronicchronicler.files.wordpress.com/2014/10/getting-there-mew.png" width="400" /><br />
He's so funny and sweet!</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: large;">3. <strike>Joly</strike> Dr Ford. </span>Dr. Ford is played by Hugh Skinner - Joly from Les Miserables!</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;">
<img height="302" src="https://40.media.tumblr.com/1dbbdccdedd3b2f8c58a7453f7c4af95/tumblr_nntxtj7Evk1s53j2ko1_500.jpg" width="320" /><br />
A doctor. Joly! Do you not see the resemblance? Joly was studying to be a medical student!<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">4. The costumes.</span><br />
<img src="http://www.cheshirelife.co.uk/polopoly_fs/1.3766335!/image/image.jpg_gen/derivatives/landscape_490/image.jpg" /><br />
I love the costumes - I don't like all of the styles, but I like the vintage-y look, and especially the formal dresses they wear!<br />
<img height="267" src="http://static.sorozatjunkie.hu/wp-content/uploads/2014/09/6904617-low_res-.jpg" width="400" /><br />
I quite like some of Lady Catherine's outfits! Her hair's pretty!<br />
<br /></div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;">Yes, and Celia Imrie (Lady Glenmire of Return to Cranford) makes a small appearance.</span><br />

So, to wrap it up, I absolutely LOVED this series, and would definitely recommend you see it!<br />

<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<span style="font-size: large;">It's Barricade Day!</span> (I named it that - more or less)</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
Today is the 6th of June. (The date of this post will say the 5th, but where I live it is actually the 6th).<br />
The anniversary of the June Rebellion</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
in France, told of in <i>Les Miserables</i>. (If you like history, or just this topic in general, check out the wikipedia page on it <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/June_Rebellion">here</a>. There are links in that article to Victor Hugo, General Lamarque....(on an extra side note, they also have articles on the ABC and Enjolras, Gavroche, Jean Valjean.... - I was inpressed!))</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">

<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
Anyway, 183 years ago today, the June Rebellion took place in Paris, France.</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
If you go by the <i>Les Miserables</i> calendar, yesterday was Lamarque Day (also my own naming), </div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
the day of Lamarque's funeral and the beginning of the rebellion (Do You Hear the People Sing and Night of Anguish)</div>

Anyway, I am resolved not to post any more depressing pictures, but instead, I've decided to give you some links you might find interesting, of some great Les Mis articles and posts you might like to read, if you're in that sort of mood, like I am.</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">

<br />
<br />
At the moment I'm really into:<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">~Coffee</span>. Anyone who knows me really well will know that I have never liked coffee, and have always been a tea-drinker. Since my sister, who works at a cafe, got hooked, she's converted me.....I like it a lot. Especially Cafe Bombon, which is espresso made with sweetened condensed milk! So good.<br />
<br />

<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">~LOTR, especially The Return of the King.</span> I love it!! I never enjoyed the books, but now I'm quite interested in the story, especially the movies' untold stories, like Eowyn and Faramir.<br />
<br />
<img height="320" src="http://www.elvish.org/gwaith/graphics/rotk_cdcover.jpg" width="320" /><br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">~"Our Zoo"</span>, the new British TV series. I love it! It's post WWI, and full of nice costumes, wonderful accents and funny characters.<br />

<br />
And.....the doctor, Doctor Ford, who we always remarked reminded us very much of Joly, I just discovered, actually IS potrayed by that actor, Hugh Skinner!<br />

He's hilarious! </div>

And the scenery and locations are beautiful!</div>

But, seriously, if you get then chance, watch it - it's so good. I've seen the first four out of six episodes. I shall attempt to write a review when we're done. </div>

</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/staticarchive/60bca464fce46bd4994b3dec9e8fe93c1d2df747.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://www.bbc.co.uk/staticarchive/60bca464fce46bd4994b3dec9e8fe93c1d2df747.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
First off, I should mention that I watched the 1995 version some time ago, and liked it a lot, so going</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
into the 2008 version, I was a little skeptical and biased - just slightly.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://www.bbc.co.uk/staticarchive/60bca464fce46bd4994b3dec9e8fe93c1d2df747.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img src="http://myaustendreamworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/sense_and_sensibility.jpg" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I think I'll go over the characters first:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<img src="http://www.jasit.it/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2014/12/76226.jpg" height="320" width="213" /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
And first, naturally, is Elinor.</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
She was younger than Emma Thompson, closer to the age of Elinor (19).</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
The same with Marianne......</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<img src="http://cdn.bloody-disgusting.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/08/Charity-Wakefield.jpg" height="198" width="320" /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
Both of them were alright - although Elinor was sometimes a little dull and Marianne's outburst at Mrs. Ferrars' was odd - but I don't think I really have a strong preference as to</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
which actors (1995 or 2008).</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
Marianne's romance with Willoughby in the 1995 was more toned down than in the 2008 one.</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
Speaking of Willoughby...</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<img height="213" src="https://opionator.files.wordpress.com/2012/01/willouoghby.jpg" width="320" /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
...he was my least favourite in here. He was quite short, didn't seem very</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
dashing in the rain, and was slightly creepy sometimes.</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
However, he was still pretty Willoughby-ish.</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
Mrs. Dashwood and Margaret (Meg, they call her) were pretty good, I suppose.</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
Mrs. Dashwood was nice and Margaret was closer to the age (and character) of the Margaret in the 1995 version. She's supposed to be 13, but she was closer to 11/12 and slightly less</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
lady-like than you'd think she should be. (Like in 1995)</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<img height="320" src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/cc/92/3e/cc923ec48472422c06b05fdb51488345.jpg" width="236" /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
But then, my favourite characters....</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<img src="http://41.media.tumblr.com/tumblr_m3rrnoUZQV1qzu6rfo1_500.png" height="178" width="320" /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
I really, really liked Dan Stevens' Edward, he was very like-able.</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
(He was also, again, slightly younger-looking.)<br />
He was very sweet and I liked how you got to see him come to Barton, and the scene with him and Lucy at the Ferrars, you really do admire him for being loyal to his word, even against the threat of disinheritance. It was the first movie with Dan Stevens that I'd seen (I want to see <a href="http://36.media.tumblr.com/2f2f4cdffbb6d50efcbbeb31d5704dcf/tumblr_neocpifRAq1so3dl0o1_1280.jpg">him</a> in <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i0vTJeYLRnA">Night at the Museum 3</a> somtime) - I think he's already one of my favourite actors.</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<img src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/marspeach/Sense%20and%20Sensibility%202008/ColonelBrandon.jpg" height="320" width="293" /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
Colonel Brandon was great!! He was a bit younger (haha, let's just say they all were...)</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
and also better-looking. I think he was my favourite in terms of actor/portrayal.</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
I liked him much better than the 1995 Colonel Brandon - you can really appreciate how much sorrow he has known and his love for Marianne is so sweet. </div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
But why do they all call her 'Mah-rianne' as opposed to 'Maery-anne'? (Hope you understand my phonetic spelling)</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<br /></div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
<img height="320" src="https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/236x/8c/a3/08/8ca308d07d521a2fb017efb117b6babf.jpg" width="213" /><br />
<br />
Fanny was, well, Fanny. Not much different - just <span style="font-size: x-small;">younger. </span><br />
Yep, you're probably sick of me now.<br />
Her "hint" that Edward couldn't possibly marry Elinor was less like a hint and more like directly telling her....but I don't really know the exact words in the book.<br />
<br />
John was....normal, boring and average. And not really very honourable and kind-hearted, just...neutral.<br />
<br />
And this kid...<br />
<img height="200" src="http://i31.photobucket.com/albums/c355/LadyBug1820/Jane%20Austen/Sensibility%20Cast/Changes/lilhenry.jpg" width="166" /><br />
<br />
Ummm, he was, funny. He provided comic relief, and was definitely not starved. He was a little bit...odd.<br />
<br />
Sir John, well, just didn't seem quite right, somehow. He was a little informal, but I guess Sir John is. That, and he is also Exterminator Jeff from the Borrowers (which also stars Hugh Laurie, the other - superior- Mr Palmers), which, by the way, is one great and hilarious movie and worth watching.<br />
<br />
<img height="216" src="http://musingsfromus.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/The-Borrowers-1997-ScreenShot-22.jpg" width="400" /><img src="http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/masterpiece/senseandsensibility/images/char_lg_sirmiddleton.jpg" /><br />
But, yeah, he was one character that was better in the 1995.<br />
<br />
So was Mrs. Jennings.<br />
<br />
<strike>Queenie</strike> Mrs. Jennings was alright, but she just wasn't Elizabeth Spriggs. And Elizabeth Spriggs was the BEST, the funniest, the jolliest, and just the general best-est Mrs. Jennings.<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Anne and Lucy Steele.<br />
<img height="181" src="https://janeaustensworld.wordpress.com/files/2009/02/8-lucy-and-anne-steele-2.jpg?w=300" width="320" /><br />
<br />
Lucy was more likable, but she still irked me somehow, just her happy, sly comments that torment Elinor, I suppose. And then of course, Anne (a character not even <i>in</i> the 1995 version) was so funny, raving on about beaux and the doctor. and then "popping" out things by accident. Dopey, but funny. And their bad grammar/accents were there, too.<br />
<br />
And then , of course, Mrs. Ferrars:<br />
<br />
<img height="197" src="http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v334/marspeach/Sense%20and%20Sensibility%202008/MrsFerrars.jpg" width="200" /><br />
<br />
Well, for a start, she was <i>there</i>, and then quite good. Her sideways way of talking was slightly amusing.<br />
<br />
<br />
Well, anyway, I have to go now, but hope you didn't find that too rambly and boring :)<br />
So, in brief, I think in some points 1995 is better, but in some (like inclusion of characters) 2008 is better. I don't really have a particular preference, but I might like watching this one better :)<br />

Hello again! Yes, it's been a while (it always is), but I thought I'd pop in and let you all know what I've been up to over the last month or so :).</div>
<br />
<br />
<span style="font-size: large;">Reading </span>(because I always am)<br />
<br />
Nothing much new, actually.<br />
After seeing the movie Hugo, I came across the book at the library.<br />
<span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51VcEWaqKWL._SY344_BO1,204,203,200_.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51VcEWaqKWL._SY344_BO1,204,203,200_.jpg" height="320" width="226" /></a></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Despite being really thick, the book isn't actually that long, because a lot of it is illustration - part of the story is told in comic, like the the silent black-and-white moving pictures the book talks about.</div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><img src="http://leitorcabuloso.com.br/wp-content/uploads/2013/07/hugo-e-o-automato-desenho.jpg" height="240" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" width="320" /></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">One of the gorgeous illustrations - this one is two full pages!<br />
<br /></td></tr>
</tbody></table>
The movie is pretty good, and averagely accurate, as movie adaptations go. And I quite like the character Isabelle....<br />
<div>
<br />
<div>
<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: right; margin-left: 1em; text-align: right;"><tbody>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Can't get the silly thing to centre!<br />
<br /></td></tr>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: left;">
I have also been working on a few other books......I haven't been doing much reading at the moment, but I'm still working on several at once.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
Well, first of all, this movie made me shudder. (But then again, maybe that was just because it was a murder mystery)</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The characters were okay, but I felt they just weren't Austen characters.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
The Colonel Fitzwilliam bothered me, but not because he wasn't as nice as Austen's character (well, as well as that), but because I recognized him....he is also in Pride & Prejudice, as Chamberlayne.</div>

Can't find a picture, but he's the one who apologizes to Lizzy at the Netherfield Ball for not being able to dance with "<i>both</i> her sisters, <i>at once</i>, if he could-"</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">

<div style="text-align: center;">

Sooooo, go and have a look at the giveaway!! (It includes chai tea, coffee, stationery and chocolate. Do I have to continue??)<br />
<br />
And have a great day. And, yes, I'll try to do another post sometime. Sorry, I've been slack. But I haven't had a ton of time, so yeah, anyway...<br />
<br />
Seeya!<br />

I am speaking of <i>Les Miserables </i>(2000). A bit newer than I thought it was, it looked soooo old.<br />
To be perfectly honest, I would almost rather have not watched it.<br />
<br />
It's in two parts and is 172 minutes long, so we didn't watch all of it, but I'd seen enough. Really.<br />

<div>
Jean Valjean as we first see him.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
He was portrayed very well, from what I saw. Oh, one note - they did the French accents. Which took a while to get used to after the British (which I actually prefer).</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I don't really have much else to say about him, except it appears he clearly wasn't underfed in prison.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Also, the soldiers uniforms are the same as in the 2012 version - must be authentic.</div>
<div>
And yes, I will use every opportunity to sneak a 2012 picture in here.</div>

Javert. Ugh. He looks like someone of Harry Potter. And whenever he talks, he makes me think of someone out of Kid Snippets. He also looks like <a href="http://bloximages.chicago2.vip.townnews.com/heraldextra.com/content/tncms/assets/v3/editorial/d/69/d6936db8-6403-11e3-b5eb-0019bb2963f4/52ab1b5184bf0.preview-300.jpg">one of them</a>.

Apart from that, he was an okay Javert from what I could see. Keeping in my that I didn't see all of it.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Marius. *deep-breath* My fave character in the whole movie! (please note sarcasm)</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
His entrance in the movie......I thought "No, that's not Marius!!!!!.....Oh great, it is."</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I basically <strike>hyperventilated</strike> did not like it. :) *sweet smile*</div>

He basically waltzed up and said "Excuse me - I come here every day, and I have never seen you before." Not.Marius.</div>

Cosette, briefly, was pretty good. I liked her. We didn't catch Fantine or little Cosette, but we saw the Thenardiers. So-so.</div>

What I liked was that they included the scene in the garret with Valjean and the Patron Minette, which we saw some of.</div>

Eponine. She was a little frightening. More book-accurate, perhaps, but she had some evil looks. I didn't really like her. </div>

He was very good! He was sort of replacing Courf as well, in that he spoke to Marius about Cosette, etc., so that wasn't so accurate, but he was okay otherwise.</div>

I'm pretty sure this is him - it is the only picture I could find!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He was good - a better age, maybe - and had several book lines which I loved:</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
-"Gavroche, come back!"</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
-"I am doing my shopping!"</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He identified Javert. he asked for a big gun.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
"Now my dead men are getting shot!"</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
1. I am NOT attending public high-school. Cambridge and homeschooling will continue. :) Am I glad? Yes.<br />
<br />
2. I am now 15. Which seems a lot younger than I used to think it was. Funny, that....<br />
<br />
3. Can I ask my lovely readers a question? I just want to know roughly how many people read my blog ('cos if you're like me you might read regularly without following officially), and what should I post about? Do you like my posts? Any suggestions? Please let me know!<br />
<br />
4. I have to go, but hope to be back soon :)<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
MY ANSWERS</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1. I first heard of it when I was much younger and said it "Lez mizribills", when I saw ads on tv or whatever. I discovered it through <a href="http://miss-dashwood.blogspot.co.nz/">Amy's blog</a>, and when we saw the DVD (2012) for sale, Mum bought it, and I started reading blog posts, looking at pictures, gaining in anticipation :). I watched the 2012 movie early 2014 (March, I think), and loved it. It escalated from there :).</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2. I have seen the 2012 movie, then later last year I saw the 1998 film with Liam Neeson and Claire Danes. (Read my review of it <a href="http://janeaustenmad.blogspot.co.nz/2014/10/movie-review-les-miserables-1998.html">here</a>) I have also seen snippets of various stage versions (a couple of ECAETs, as I say in <a href="http://janeaustenmad.blogspot.co.nz/2014/08/10-facts-about-me-and-les-miserables.html">this post</a>).</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3. My favourite characters are probably Marius, Enjolras and Eponine (closely followed by Gavroche, Jehan and Jean Valjean, more or less). :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

4. I have read some of the Isabel F. Hapgood translation and am currently working my way (slowly) through the Norman Denny translation.</div>

5. I have seen Liam Neeson in the 1998 movie and Hugh Jackman in the 2012 movie. I think they were both pretty accurate. But I like Hugh Jackman better, 'cos the 2012 one is waaaaaaaay better, and not just 'cos it's a musical :)</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
6. I cry the most at Empty Chairs at Empty Tables, because <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eqqSa9n2ZQk">Eddie's version</a> is soooo good (and way better than <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1lQlyMw3JfI">Nick Jonas's</a>). He shows the emotion so well - it's just so sad.......</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The other one would be the Epilogue, because by that time I can't stand much more emotional trauma (especially when you watch it with your sis and BFF). :)</div>

7. The Finale makes me happy in a smiling-through-the-tears-it's-okay-it's-over kind of way :). Also, it's nice to see everyone again :)</div>

8. The convicts' Look Down is always exciting, but probably because 'cos the movie's beginning and also 'cos it's epic.<br />
<img src="http://img2.wikia.nocookie.net/__cb20130709150723/lesmiserables/images/5/56/Worksong.png" height="216" width="400" /><br />
The scene that makes me most excited would probably be Paris Look Down, though - like squeally jump-up-and-down fan-girl excited.<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
9. Do You Hear the People Sing is always tense, and the barricade scenes, especially Night of Anguish/Dawn of Anguish give me chills. *shiver*<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
10. My favourite thing about the fandom, aside from the random bursting-into-song, pictures, blog posts, etc., would probably be the fan fiction :)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">Here's a brief history of my blogging journey:</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
I started blogging jointly with my sister on "Notebook for Girls", but a while after that blogspot changed to blogger (or something like that), so I started my own blog after that.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: #fbb1b2; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2000007629395px; text-align: start;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;"><br /></span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="background-color: #fbb1b2; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2000007629395px; text-align: start;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;">I started blogging on my blog <a href="http://a%20bonus%20discipula/">A Bonus Discipula</a> in 25th March 2011.</span></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
</div>
<span style="background-color: #fbb1b2; font-size: 13px; line-height: 18.2000007629395px; text-align: start;"><span style="background-color: white; font-family: inherit; line-height: 18.4799995422363px;">Originally it was just a general blog, then I created this blog.</span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">My first post on this blog, when it was named "Jane Austen Mad" was on the 5th of June 2012.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
Since then, it has been "Jane Austen & Her Kind", since I no longer posted about just Jane Austen.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This year, I re-named it "Period Drama &c." which is a bit broader again.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I have also created a couple of other blogs in the past that were not so successful.</span><br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHAeZZAOPymg5RoDWGOMNCcoGxG-wIwhJurVCEgAKu10RlhKmY9dyL08YhZ32tc7jm3wY9qFFvE49eVsvEIN2pPSy1ebvU9YYz0RDU-a9LyoAwWkZ9N-RRXcck1Iok-1fMk8EKjQc7RdM/s1600/Capture2.PNG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHAeZZAOPymg5RoDWGOMNCcoGxG-wIwhJurVCEgAKu10RlhKmY9dyL08YhZ32tc7jm3wY9qFFvE49eVsvEIN2pPSy1ebvU9YYz0RDU-a9LyoAwWkZ9N-RRXcck1Iok-1fMk8EKjQc7RdM/s1600/Capture2.PNG" /></a></div>
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">This is my main blog.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;"><br />
ADVICE FOR NEW BLOGGERS</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">~Write what you love, and give the blog a name and look you love.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">~Think about your target audience.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">~Everyone loves pictures, right? I love GIFs too :).</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">~Find a style that suits you - some people (like me) don't do long detailed posts. Mine tend to be ramblings, but that's okay.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">~Check out blogs you love and think about why you love them - pick ideas from people who are experienced.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">~Have fun!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">I can't think of 15 people without tagging everyone I know who's already done it!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: inherit;">So, I am tagging:</span><br />

<br />
<br />
So I have watched Catching Fire AND Mockingjay Part 1.<br />
Okay, I'll organize myself. Catching Fire first, and then I can do Mockingjay.<br />
<br />
So, Catching Fire was great and pretty movie accurate.<br />
<br />
Katniss.<br />
Since the first games, she's different, and her interaction with Gale will never be the same again.<br />
"I did what I had to do to survive!"<br />
The scenes on the train with her and Peeta were very sweet.<br />
<br />
Haymitch and Effie.<br />
(I ship them Otherwise, Haymitch and Maysilee Donner.)<br />
Both Haymitch and Effie were much more likable.<br />
<br />
Peeta.<br />
"See you at midnight." GAH. Sorry. Mockingjay hangover.<br />
Peeta was so sweet in this one. Even better than the first movie.<br />
<br />
Finnick.<br />
YAY! He comes up and you think "I don't like that guy", but that's how he's supposed to come across.<br />
<br />
Johanna.<br />
Tell me, is is American to pronounce this "Jo-anna"? Because we would pronounce that name "Yo-hanna". Just sayin'.<br />
I have one word to describe her: intense. But she was pretty book-accurate.<br />
<br />
Enobaria: "She's commited, I'll give her that."<br />
<br />
Plutarch.<br />
Wow. Watching this just gave me a huge appreciation of his job. He had so much responsibility on his shoulders. He had to not only produce a Games that Snow and the Capitol were happy with, but also get the Tributes out alive and escape Snow's suspicion.<br />
<br />
Snow.<br />
Ugh. Getting more so.<br />
<br />
Katniss's reaping outfit reminds me of the District 13 suits. Kind of.<br />
<img height="320" src="http://fangirlblog.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/12/Katniss-Reaping-Catching-Fire.jpg" width="204" /><img height="213" src="http://www.jabberjays.net/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/katniss-district-13-roses.jpg" width="320" /><br />
<br />
Okay......now -<br />
<br />
MOCKINGJAY Part 1!!! Yay!<br />
<br />
I went to see it at the movies. Whoa. So intense. Huge. Ouch.<br />
<br />
It was enormous and sad and epic.<br />
<br />
It was not happy. Nooooo.<br />
<br />
Um, where shall I start?<br />
<br />
District 13.<br />
"...is alive and well and so am I."<br />
(Sorry. I'm terrible with quoting. Ask my sisters.)<br />
<br />
District 13 had a very industrial, uncomfortable, claustrophobic feel. Ugh.<br />
<br />
I was glad to see more of Gale. You got to see much more of his character. I liked that. Yup, it was Liam's movie more that Josh's.<br />
<br />
Katniss - aaaah! Poor girl.<br />
<br />
I like how Cressida, Messalla me, Castor and Pollux were all included.<br />
<img height="200" src="http://cdn.screenrant.com/wp-content/uploads/The-Hunger-Games-Mockingjay-Part-1-Pollux.jpg" width="200" /><br />
I quite liked Pollux in the book, and it was the same in the movie. (First mention of an Avox in all the movies.)<br />
<br />
"The Hanging Tree" song was melancholy-ly awe-full.<br />
I liked how it was put to the propo. I also liked how the group of rebels from District 3 (I think it was three, because the power was there, and the boy from 3 in the first book was electrically-minded) sang it on their way to give the Capitol a power cut. :)<br />
<br />
<br />
<br />
Finnick. His and Snow's secrets revealed. Pity, the impact was kind of lessened 'cos the rescue mission was a bit of a distraction.<br />
Ouch. Poor Finnick.<br />
<img height="160" src="http://cdn.thats-normal.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/11/mjreviewfinnick.gif" width="320" /><br />
<br />
<img height="213" src="https://zuts.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/finnick-odair-quote-hunger-games-falling-apart.jpg" width="320" /><br />
<br />
<img src="https://33.media.tumblr.com/25d205f9db85f4b702ca46e776566f05/tumblr_neokxiDDDU1rkqbo5o1_250.gif" /><br />
Finnick teaching Katniss to tie knots. :) (Well, actually, I made that up - I think it's a behind-the-scenes pic)<br />
<br />
Finnick and Annie's reunion was so sweet!<br />
<br />
<img height="209" src="http://i2.cdnds.net/14/20/618x404/movies-the-hunger-games-mocking-jay-02.jpg" width="320" /><br />
The board Haymitch wrote was so cool! It's like a screen; he scrawls on it with a pen/stylus thing, and the screen turns his scrawling to typed block letters!<br /><br />
Haymitch:<br />
<i>Swipes several drawings and paragraphs of writing off the board.</i><br />
<i>"I hope that wasn't important."</i><br />
<br />
The fighting, the noise - the horrible evacuation alarm! The bunker scenes were horrible. I'm claustrophobic. Ugh.<br />
<br />
And then......then.....<br />
Okay, it was coming. The worst part of the movie. Which shouldn't be the worst part of the movie. Which was so much worse than reading about it because you could see it.....<br />
Peeta's return.<br />
<img height="205" src="http://static2.hypable.com/wp-content/uploads/2014/10/mockingjay-part-1-peeta-beaten.jpg?0ac34c" width="400" /><br />
<br />
This is the part where I was screaming and tearing my hair out and sobbing. Internally. Cause we were in the movies. (Well, actually, besides me, my sister and Mum, there were only two other teenage girls, but whatever.)<br />
But seriously. I understand why Finnick thought it would be better for Annie to be dead than in the Capitol. Because it's one thing for Peeta to die; it's another ten times worse thing for him to be hijacked. It was ghastly.<br />
Ah, yes, I just found the perfect word to describe it - spontaneously, too! Ahem. I'm trying to distract myself from horrid thoughts. Ugh.<br />
At the very end, when she goes to see him through the window, I couldn't look. It.was.awful.<br />
<br />
And then...TADA! The end!<br />
<br />
WHAAAAT?! Worst movie ending in history. Ever. It was.....yeah, okay, I'll stop now.<br />
<br />
Just give me part twooooooooooooo!<br />
<br />
Um, anyway, that was a very jumbled review basically consisting of my ramblings...<br />
Pardon the randomness of this post :).<br />

</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
Welcome to Snippet Reviews!</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
I decided to open up a new series so I can do small, short and snappy snippet reviews.</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
Because I'm not very good at doing long reviews. </div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
And one warning - I may give away spoilers.</div>
<div style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;">
So....without any further ado, introducing Snippet Review #1!</div>
