Interestingly, US test audiences felt the movie needed a 'conclusion' - to actually see the 'happily ever after', thus it was added, whereas Brits felt it was better without. I am obviously closer to the Brit-end of the English speaking spectrum!<br /><br />I love your banner, and your daughter's contribution.

It dawned on me - I read/skimmed The Diary of Anne Frank yesterday and there was some history of Russia etc. Wow - socialism is not something to be played around with, yet so many in our country don't see it like that. So that's they "why" behind my sudden political charisma :)Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12221285831848449461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32444916.post-84116716358877861082011-10-21T15:04:05.968-05:002011-10-21T15:04:05.968-05:00I've been really surprised by how poorly Perry...I've been really surprised by how poorly Perry has done in the debates. I knew very little about him beyond that he was gov. of Texas, so I expected he'd at least be able to handle himself well in a debate. Not so much.<br /><br />I'm not a Romney fan AT ALL and the debates have only reinforced those opinions.<br /><br />I read a political blog regularly and their theory is that Bachman is primarily running to raise her profile to become Speaker of the House. I would love it if that happens. And your idea about Gingrich is close to what they think.<br /><br />I like Cain more than I expected, and really like that he's willing to talk about new ideas for solving problems. His 999 plan doesn't worry me (and I like his rebuttal to some of the criticism of it) because I don't believe Congress would ever pass it, so even if he was elected it still wouldn't become law.<br /><br />Love Ron Paul and love the fact that him being in the race is making the others discuss issues that I don't think they ever would otherwise. <br /><br />Apparently I had more debate thoughts than I originally realized!Sheila @ Seasoned Joyhttp://seasonedjoy.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32444916.post-66268953655878109582011-10-21T09:23:13.432-05:002011-10-21T09:23:13.432-05:00Sanders-- I think you're right about the Ameri...Sanders-- I think you're right about the American ending. I forgot that.<br /><br /><br />Heather, Ron Paul has gotten the shaft, but I think more and more people are interviewing him and showing clear respect, whereas before he was just (to quote Jon Stewart), "Crazy Uncle Ron, babbling about the unsustainability of multiple wars."<br /><br /><br />Liz, you are dead on-- other people are respecting Paul more... the media, and the party in general. I like what you said "It's like everyone knows that we need someone like him."<br /><br /><br />Hilarious, sandra. "P&P on meth.

I have a hard time liking that version anyway. It's like P&P on meth. Too skinny. Too fast.

My respect for Ron Paul grew - I could sense the respect for him overall too. Its like everyone knows that we need someone like him, not someone like Mr. "I'm running for public office, I can't have illegals working for me!" Someone's mama didn't teach him the difference between "seeming" and "being." <br /><br />Love your craftiness! :) Would love to follow you on pinterest - I will try to find you!<br /><br />Blessings, LizLizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12221285831848449461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32444916.post-6297374178336624552011-10-21T04:28:15.871-05:002011-10-21T04:28:15.871-05:00I would first like to say that I much prefer the B...I would first like to say that I much prefer the BBC Pride and Prejudice to the 2005 version...that being said...I wouldn't mind another new version! I also loved Lost in Austen, it is on netflix instant view right now and is HILARIOUS!<br /><br />Second, I feel like Ron Paul has definitely gotten the shaft on media coverage. It is a real shame, because I think a lot of what he is saying is what America is thinking right now, or I could just be one of those crazy libertarians that are so far off no one wants to take seriously ;-)<br /><br />And finally, I LOVE that banner idea! It seems like such a great, easy kind of craft to do. I think I might have to give it a try. How are you going to attach it to a string/ribbon? glue? stitch it on?Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12261179479821073705noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32444916.post-20624568431340378972011-10-21T03:41:10.918-05:002011-10-21T03:41:10.918-05:00Totally agree with you on the Pride & Prejudic...Totally agree with you on the Pride & Prejudice criticism. It's definitely my least favorite part of a fantastic movie. Wasn't that the "American" ending? I don't think they even showed that ending other places.<br /><br />Love the updates about the presidential debates - I really enjoy reading them. <br /><br />Really enjoyed the previous two posts. I can totally relate to your WW experience. It felt like the last post was written for me - I really needed to read all of that. Please forgive me for putting so many different comments onto one :O)<br /><br />~TiffanySandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12291771284577996586noreply@blogger.com
