Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind
Great film
-
A Matter of Life and Death - brilliant film
-
I think it would be interesting if it went on to Mary's life and all that business with poor Lady Jane Gray.
Is that picture you are using from Lost in Translation? I love that film so so much!
Yes - it would be nice if it went onto Henry's children and their reigns too!
It is Lost in Translation
finally iv found someone who loves the film too - all my friends hated it! -
I love The Tudors
but series four is the last I believe
-
I love Spaced!
It brings back so many good memories
-
Sherlock Holmes
Robert Downey Jr

I would really like to read this over the summer, but I have heard that it is very difficult and hard to understand!
Has anyone had this experience?
What are people thoughts of the book?

I did her poetry for AS at school and I remember thinking she was great

Innocentia Veritas Viat Fides. Circumdederunt me inimici mei
(Innocence, Truth, Wyatt and Faith. My enemies surround my soul)
Who list his wealth and ease retain,
Himself let him unknown contain.
Press not too fast in at that gate
Where the return stands by disdain,
For sure, circa Regna tonat.
The high mountains are blasted oft
When the low valley is mild and soft.
Fortune with Health stands at debate.
The fall is grievous from aloft.
And sure, circa Regna tonat.
These bloody days have broken my heart.
My lust, my youth did them depart,
And blind desire of estate.
Who hastes to climb seeks to revert.
Of truth, circa Regna tonat.
The bell tower showed me such sight
That in my head sticks day and night.
There did I learn out of a grate,
For all favour, glory, or might,
That yet circa Regna tonat.
By proof, I say, there did I learn:
Wit helpeth not defence too yerne,
Of innocency to plead or prate.
Bear low, therefore, give God the stern,
For sure, circa Regna tonat.
(circa Regna tonat-It thunders through the realms)

I always feel that rhymed poetry is more set and plain with its words. With poety that doesn't rhyme, you are free to experiment with your words more! I don't mind poetry that rhymes but I prefer it if it doesn't

I did A Woman of No Importance at A-level and loved it! Im definatly going to read more of his works soon
-
Yes, I also agree!. I find them cringeworthy to watch either on TV or in the cinema. I went and watched Mamma Mia! with my sisters and mum, and was cringing all the way through it.
However, I do love Grease and The Sound of Music
I love the Sound of Music too
And I was cringing ALL THE WAY through Mamma Mia when I saw it!

There was a made for TV adaptation a few years ago which was very good, it was a 2-parter as I remember so there was room for more detail than in the earlier film. Emilia Fox and Charles Dance played the new Mrs de Winter and Max and Diana Rigg was Mrs Danvers. She was very good but I still get a chill when I see the original Mrs Danvers in the Hitchcock film, must have been the lighting and being made in black and white that did it. The TV version is often replayed in ITV3, so it's worth checking out.
Thank you! I'll look out for it
-
Yeah, he's such a fascinating character and seeing how his evil plot seeps into Othello like poison is brilliant, it's disturbing yet compelling. And some of his speeches are absolutely amazing to read.
I remember doing Othello last year at school and EVERYONE hated it and I thought it was brilliant!
Othello is definatly one of my favourites by Shakespeare!
-
Othello is fantastic, Iago is such a brilliant, twisted character.
Agree!
-
...I also love the film directed by Hitchcock. This is one film which fulfilled my expectations and I've lost count of the number of times I've watched it (even my partner enjoys it).
Have you seen any other versions of Rebecca?
Iv looked out for other versions but havent seen any

-
The only one I can think of was "Girl Interrupted"
What was the book like?
Cause I really liked the film
-
Am I right in thinking that the Haunted Airman was the same as the Haunting of Toby Jug? I think they changed the name for a tv adaptation. (could be wrong).
Yea - thats right!
The BBC adaptation was called The Haunted Airman rather than The Haunting of Toby Jugg like the book!
