@perfectfifths *confused* Um, yeah.  That part was supposed to be a joke too…I’ve known the song since I was a little kid, and there’s a part about if the “straw be too long”.  😀

I was meaning after you finish sewing, you’ll eventually have to cut the thread, or it will be hanging all over the place and look silly.

I wonder if the hole in the…[Read more]

@perfectfifths What if the thread be too long? 😀 Ohhh, I just realized that’s a pun!

Love it! 🙂  Thanks for playing!

@seekjustice Oh my goodness!  The book is so completely different from the movie that you couldn’t tell they were the same but for the fact that the names aren’t changed!  There are so many differences I don’t think you can count them.

Have you heard of the movie Saving Mr. Banks?  I haven’t seen it, but it’s a film about the making of Mary Popp…[Read more]

@seekjustice By the way, I agree that an Anastasia analysis should be very interesting.  I’ve only read about it, though.  Never seen any of it.  Same with The Hunchback, except I’ve seen the 1939 movie version with Maureen O’Hara and Charles Laughton, which I liked a lot. (I think it’s pretty different from the book.)  I’m sure, as you say, t…[Read more]

@seekjustice Well, a really famous one (In the U.S. and England, at least) is Pygmalion, which was made into the musical/movie My Fair Lady.  I can’t stand the thought of the plot, because the male protagonist is horrible the whole way through.  (I think he ends up a little tiny bit better in the musical version, but just barely.)  The play is by…[Read more]

@seekjustice And here’s a link to the Wikipedia article on the musical.

@seekjustice Have you heard of the Rodgers and Hammerstein musical Carousel?  It was a stage musical, later made into a movie.  It was based on a play, rather than a book, but I read the play like a book on Gutenberg, so it could count if you’re not too much of a literalist?

It actually has a kind of weird, fantastical plot, which upon reading th…[Read more]

@seekjustice I’m not here… 😀  (It’s still Sunday where I live, so I’m not working) But I just wanted to ask you a question:

I’ve been jumping over to your blog once in a while to look for updates and I really like the new series you have going: Book vs. Movie vs. Musical.  But I was wondering if you’ve picked out all your subjects yet?  How ma…[Read more]

@supermonkey42 WOW!  That is so cool.  And funny. 😀  Third time’s the charm, huh?  And the right to blankets without holes should definitely be Constitutional.  😀 😀

I really liked the unconventionality of the way you skipped the end of the last line of the first stanza and went into a separate ramble.  It made it very interesting.

@dekreel Cute. 😀  And I definitely agree.  It is so hard to sleep without a blanket!

@sam-kowal That is HILARIOUS!  I love it! 😀 😀 I think my favorite line is “Please keep your hair.”  So. Funny.

But you forgot to give Dragon Snapper a topic…

@dekreel I’m sorry!  I was out of state when you posted this and completely forgot to answer it when I got back!  Do you still want ideas?

@catwing Oh, too bad. Maybe we’ll come to GA again sometime, though. We’re just getting back into ministry work after a two-year semi-stop to take care of my grandmother, so we’ve got a few conferences scheduled.  I don’t think we’ll come this year, but maybe next year.

Character Collage for my poor little heroine:

@kaya-young No snake this time! 😀

@notawriter This is what she looks like normally.  (No make-up.)

@daeus Oh, good.  I like making people’s days.  😀

Are you going to try the tag thing?

@aratrea Ohhh, *covers face with hands* I wasn’t sure if I wanted you to recognize me…because if you do, you’ll remember that I talk way too much. 😀

Yes, I met you at CHAP.  I told you then that I already knew about KP but wasn’t on the forums…but I am now. 🙂

Don’t worry about my name.  The one I use here is not my real one.

@warrenluther04 I doubt it’ll be on DVD.  But you can always check.  The other I gave you the link to is not on YouTube, so does that mean you’ll actually watch it? 😀

@jenwriter17 My favorite is definitely Roy Rogers.  His movies are great, and something else that’s cool about him is that he married Dale Evans, his leading lady, and then a few years later they became Christians and refused to do a single live concert without at least hymn included.  When they were scheduled to sing at Madison Square Garden t…[Read more]

@warrenluther04  Cool!  I’ll look it up.  Have you seen Adam West’s appearances as Batman on Hollywood Palace?  (YouTube)

If you like old TV shows with action, you might like my present favorite, which is called 77 Sunset Strip.  It’s also hard to find, but I’ve been watching it on dailymotion.com which very similar to YouTube.  Here’s a link to…[Read more]
