It's so much fun when you can enjoy a movie with your parents. :) My dad really likes Little Dorrit, as well as Jane Austen, so it's never a problem to get him to watch those kind of movies with us. Actually, he's often the one to suggest it!<br /><br />Totally. Get Smart is an excellent movie for unwinding. Old TV shows are so much fun!! :D Miss Marchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03088465083055515308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4586249009762006304.post-18153101656415081722016-02-08T11:42:39.607-05:002016-02-08T11:42:39.607-05:00Hello, Awdur! It's so nice to meet you! Than...Hello, Awdur! It's so nice to meet you! Thank you for commenting! I checked out your blog, and I must say it looks very interesting. I'm really excited to look at it in more detail as soon as I find the time. :)<br /><br />A Get Smart play? How fun!! Do you know what character you'll be playing? <br /><br />Oh yeah. I'd definitely call Downton Abbey a soap opera. It is fun to watch, but all the scandal gets a little bit ridiculous after a while. And annoying, too. I've always been rather disappointed with that show (though I keep watching it anyway...for some reason. Haha!) because there are very few characters that I REALLY like. They all seem to do something at one point or another which lowers them in my estimation. <br /><br />You really should watch Little Dorrit. It's not everyone's cup of tea but if you like Dickens' movies, you'd probably like it. :)<br /><br />Thank you so much for taking the time to stop by! I really enjoyed hearing from you!<br /><br />~Miss MarchMiss Marchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03088465083055515308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4586249009762006304.post-7904165299588642352016-02-08T11:24:52.184-05:002016-02-08T11:24:52.184-05:00I know!!

I saw this post and thought I'd com...Hey there! I saw this post and thought I'd comment, as I definitely relate to some of the things you mentioned: My drama group is doing Get Smart as a play this year, so I've been interested in the TV show, though I've never seen it! Jeeves and Wooster is HILARIOUS, though! I've seen rather little of it, but my sister owns it and we watch it almost every time I get over to her house, so we're working our way through it slowly. ;)<br />"let the drama begin" — HA, that is the perfect way to describe Downton, I'm afraid. I'm not sure if I could call myself a Downton Abbey fan, as I'm getting into it very late (last episode of season two), but that is exactly how I'd describe it. I wouldn't recommend it to someone but it can be amusing to watch. I mostly enjoy the setting and costumes, and yes, the Dowager Countess has the BEST lines. But the drama... in some ways it really is a soap opera, which is disappointing.<br />I haven't seen Little Dorrit either, but I've seen it mentioned so many places that I may have to, now. ;)<br />Anyway, just thought I'd say hello, as this is the first down I've popped over here. :)<br />~Awdur from The Pen of AwdurAwdurhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17548931075533962924noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4586249009762006304.post-63270690943902295902016-02-05T11:16:43.289-05:002016-02-05T11:16:43.289-05:00Yes, very.

It was a little cheesy for me but as I watched and laughed at it anyways I guess it didn't bother me to much. :)<br /><br />I'm not really a fan of Little Dorrit. :/ I'm familiar with a few Dickens, as we've talked about before (and very delightfully too), but this one just didn't strike my fancy. I didn't end up finishing the book and I really wasn't a fan of the movie. But that murderer dude...forget meeting any other villain in a dark alley, HE WOULD BE THE WORST!!

I most definitely read lots and lots of Jeeves and Wooster before watching any of the tv show. (Hee. *coughs* I'm not a purist, though. In other words, I think <i>sometimes</i> a movie actually <i>has</i> been known to improve on the book. ;)) They did a pretty fair job, so it's just that I think Wodehouse is particularly hard to capture. ;)Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17418854988524303306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4586249009762006304.post-21393437225383682172016-01-24T21:53:04.461-05:002016-01-24T21:53:04.461-05:00It makes me happy that you like Little Dorrit, too...It makes me happy that you like Little Dorrit, too, Natalie! :) It's always nice to find someone who shares your enthusiasm for a particular story and it's characters. <br />Hee hee. Yeah, that forward button is very convenient, isn't it? ;)<br /><br />Oh yes! Jeeves and Wooster! I've been...sort of...planning to read those books for a while, too. :) I hear they're as funny, or funnier, than the movies. <br /><br />You know Get Smart, too? Wow! This show is more popular than I thought. Haha! Yeah, I can see why the cheeisness would get on your nerves sometimes. And oh yes! The German guy! He's SO funny! :) Just a side note. Does Max ever annoy you with how he acts around the ladies? Because that's one of the main things in the show that aggravates me exceedingly. :P Miss Marchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03088465083055515308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4586249009762006304.post-67877011873670360442016-01-24T21:31:49.800-05:002016-01-24T21:31:49.800-05:00Oh, you've never seen Little Dorrit? You real...Oh, you've never seen Little Dorrit? You really must! But, yes, that's a good idea to read the book first. I've never read the book myself, but I've read parts out of it. Have you started the book yet?<br /><br />YES! It took me a few episodes to really get into it, and at first it didn't seem as funny as I was anticipating, but once I'd gotten to know the characters better I was sold! It's totally hilarious!! :D<br /><br />I've never seen Get Smart the movie. Is it good?

Yes, you do. ;)<br /><br />I've heard of the new Get Smart movie, but I've never seen it. Off color remarks? Eh. You find that sort of thing way too often in movies these days. Actually, though, the TV series has some remarks that I would consider slightly off color, too. I would assume it's not as bad as something they would make nowadays, but still...there are some parts I could do without. :P<br /><br />Yes!
