I am behind in the news so must catch up ~ Thanks for the scope Dezzy ~ I hope you are well ~ Am back to blogging and writing again on a regular basis ~ Take care ~
ReplyDeletewe did miss you, dear :) Lots of delightful news for you to catch up on :)
DeleteI don't know anything about Warcraft but I sure would like to play war with that cast! Nom, nom!!!
ReplyDeletethose would be some spicy battles :)
DeleteI'm looking forward to "Death Comes to Pemberley" although it will probably be a full year before we can see it here in North America. And don't you be dissin' Jane Austen, Dezzy! The creatrix of Mr. Darcy is a goddess!
ReplyDeleteSorry, Debs, I'm a famous Austen hater :) And I say that as an English literature teacher :)
DeleteDon't disrespect AUSTEN! Ooh, and thanks for the update on Travis Fimmel. His Vikings show is one of the reasons I chose Norway for my destination today. :)))
ReplyDeleteOr, what? You will faint like one of her characters? :PPP
DeleteI know you love them Vikings, hope we get some Viking epic film in the future too
You deserve a proper Elizabeth Bennet tongue lashing. Er, but it would take me three days to come up with something that witty and cutting. :PP
Deletepffft.... twould take you three seconds ... I don't recall Bennet being funny or witty ;P
DeleteDeath Comes to Pemberley is going to be great and I love that cast. We women love Austen because she is a very important literary figure for us. Women were not allowed to write novels back then. We were repressed, had no rights and were considered chattel. I will stand behind Austen and the Bronte sisters till the end of my days.
ReplyDeleteAmong those lady writers I only respect Emily Bronte because she was a great psychologist as a writer, but Austen was something like Stephenie Meyer today - cheap romance and no depth with silly plots and superficial topics.
DeleteDeath Comes to Pemberley looks great! My kinda drama. I only hope it comes to Middle Earth!
ReplyDeleteAnd did I catch a glimpse of Penelope Keith?
Oh, and one more thing. Still no snow! :)
You have no BBC channels there?
DeleteI'm not sure I will be able to make it snow since Blogger has been messing with all page based HTML and JAVASCRIPT gadgets :(
John Malkovich as Blackbeard...must see TV.
ReplyDeletemethinks so to, Dave!
DeleteI have no idea what Warcraft is as I don't like video games, but with such a hunky cast, I'm sure to tune in anyway!
ReplyDeleteYep, everybody will have their own reasons to watch it :)))
DeleteI'm liking the shiny torsos :)
ReplyDeleteI believe a C is missing in that verb :)
DeleteGael Garcia Bernal...OMGosh! I have loved him for many years.
ReplyDeletehe is often quite delightful, isn't he?
DeleteI never played Warcraft, believe or not.
ReplyDeleteI've played only one video game in my whole life, believe it or not :)
DeleteWhat Lynda said! Oh and I like Ben Foster's name placement on his poster...heeheh. :D
ReplyDeleteyou wouldn't mind fostering that part of his body, yes? :PPP
DeleteMust tell the missus about the Jane Austin serie! She will love it!
ReplyDeleteGreetings
Peter
yep, Peter, ladies love everything Austen related
DeleteNever played Warcraft but it should be good with that sort of casting!
ReplyDeletehope they make it extremely epic like LOTR
DeleteThey have large shoes to fill making Warcraft. I think the fans may be a bit finicky on how it's done.
ReplyDeleteYes, the fans are never happy with anything
Deletethey look like good shows
ReplyDeleteglad you deem so
