I’ve seen the BBC version on PBS, many moons ago, and, it was required reading in my 1968 British Literature class in high school. Once is enough.
I’m a chick and I don’t wanna see it.
Im not a man and I dont want to see it. My teenage daughters saw it and one of them wants to take me to see it. She thinks I will love it like she did. I dont have the heart to tell her that I never liked the book; and I will never turn down time with my social butterfly daughter. But Im still not looking forward to sitting through it.
Have you tried "The Scarlet Pimpernel?"
No, I can’t watch it.
I could probably read the book though.
Jurrasic Park, on the other hand . . .
By jove I think you've got it!
Little Women with a T-Rex and some raptors. Just the spice that homogeneously green New England countryside needs. Shredded Victorian petticoats marking a terrifying trail into the woods. Helplessly fighting off the beasts with period axes and rug beaters.
Good show!
I saw Richard Jewell and Midway the past month. Both were good films.
Can’t remember when I saw a movie prior to these 2. Sure won’t be this movie.
Dear stupid broad from the Washington ComPost: shut your ignorant bigoted sexist piehole.
I would rather give up beer than see sappy tripe like “Little Women”. If ladies like it, then more power to you, but I’m sticking with football, sex, and violence. Watching “Little Women” would cause me permanent brain damage.
Just reading this post has me wanting to watch The Wild Bunch, followed by the Dirty Dozen, with the Good, Bad, and the Ugly thrown in for good measure. Manly men don’t do “Little Women”.
I love big women. Not REALLY big women, but skinny women don’t do it for me. Curves are where it is at. More cushiion for.. just saying.
Try Tony Rome. A Sinatra flick. Everything a growing boy needs in that movie. Sinatra was cool.
Hillarious the make a movie FOR women, then complain no man wants to see it.
Congratulations, we have similar tastes. I've read W & P and all of Gibbon's Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire.
Indeed, this reminds me of a little cartoon that long ago appeared in, if I remember correctly, the New Yorker, where this little guy and his wife were looking in a book store window at a copy of W & P and the guy remarked, "Imagine, he wrote it all without a word processor."
One more comment that I forgot in my morning fuzzies. If you’ve not seen Sergi Bokndarchuk’s Russian version of W & P, please do so. I have the 5 disc DVD version by Ruscico that Amazon is now selling for about $26.00. They also have a two disc Blu Ray version for about the same price that I’d stay away from because the original movie is about seven hours long and I suspect it was severely cut to squeeze it into only two discs.
I literally laughed until teary eyed at Spies in Disguise. I will say though.. I am a fan of Will Smith humor. It is probably more funny if you have watched his other comedy movies.
Sure beats a story about women. Drama left our house when the last teenage daughter did.
***If youve not seen Sergi Bokndarchuks Russian version of W & P***
I have it on DVD from the Russian Cinema Council. Good color and wide screen.
I also had the Kultur version release of this, cut to full screen, and some scenes cut. Poor color.
I have seen all of them. Gritty enough.
How about liking petite women?
The women l like, feminist fueled chick flicks not so music.
