TV and Meme

Yay, I finished Jane Eyre and Sense and Sensibility. I have to say I loved Jane Eyre more. S&S was enjoyable, but like I told quiet_fractures, I didn't try to watch it all in one night like I did with Jane Eyre.

So, yeah, that was really good. :D

I also watched Snow White: A Tale of Terror, which I saw someone on LJ pimp and do a picspam of and I thought it looked interesting.

SO COULD HAVE USED A BETTER WARNING. I knew it'd be dark and grim, but fucking hell, that was...I honestly thought it'd turn out to be a better tale than the one that everyone is mostly familiar with, but I can't tell if it was.

Sigourney Weaver was amazing though. Amazingly terrifying, but amazing acting is what I mean.

And to help settle my mind after that...a meme :D

Pick a fandom of mine, and I'll tell you....

One True Pairing Ship:
Canon Ship:
"If this happens I'll stab my eyes out with a spork" Ship:
"You are one sick bastard" Ship:
"I dabble a little" Ship:
"It's like a car crash" Ship:
"Tickles my fancy but not sold just yet" Ship:
"Makes no canon sense but why the Hell not" Ship:
"Everyone else loves it but I just don't feel it" Ship:
"When all is said and done" Ship:

Totally stolen from...everyone on my f-list.

Hey...why isn't there a mood for disturbed? Had to use my shocked!Martha.

This might actually be a bit difficult...

One True Pairing Ship: I don't really do "OTPs" but I really ship John and Elizabeth
Canon Ship: Is there one?
"If this happens I'll stab my eyes out with a spork" Ship: John/Teyla
"You are one sick bastard" Ship: Yikes, um...no idea
"I dabble a little" Ship: Teyla/Ronon
"It's like a car crash" Ship: Teyla/Carson (??) - I guess 'cause he's dead (or is he, what the fuck is going on with him?)
"Tickles my fancy but not sold just yet" Ship: Elizabeth/Rodney
"Makes no canon sense but why the Hell not" Ship: Elizabeth/Ronon (heh)
"Everyone else loves it but I just don't feel it" Ship: John/Rodney
"When all is said and done" Ship: John/Elizabeth

I saw bits of Snow White: A Tale of Terror years ago but for some reason I never watched the whole thing despite my obsession for fairy tales and dark and scary stuff. I need to sit down with it properly from start to finish.

[meganlynn09.livejournal.com]

I wasn't sure if anyone of teh f-list knew of it. Good to know I wasn't. Although, on reflection, I think I can say that I didn't exactly love it. I do enjoy some of the dark stuff, but I'm not so good on the horror side of things :D

[meganlynn09.livejournal.com]

I don't know if I'd recommend watching again to find out if you did! heh

Oh boy...

One True Pairing Ship: Um...again, I don't do OTPs, really, but Gwen/Rhys
Canon Ship: GWEN/RHYS, sorry, I hate that I adore them so
"If this happens I'll stab my eyes out with a spork" Ship: I'm not the fondest of Jack/Gwen - just because I do adore Gwen/Rhys so
"You are one sick bastard" Ship: Tosh/dead-ish!Owen
"I dabble a little" Ship: Tosh/Jack
"It's like a car crash" Ship: Tosh/Owen
"Tickles my fancy but not sold just yet" Ship: Jack/Martha
"Makes no canon sense but why the Hell not" Ship: Gwen/Ianto
"Everyone else loves it but I just don't feel it" Ship: JACK/IANTO
"When all is said and done" Ship: Yeah, Tosh/Owen

I don't know, I think those fit...:D

Both adaptations were much more recent, Jane Eyre was the 2006 BBC one and S&S was the BBC 2008 version.

I believe I've seen the one with Alan Rickman, but it was a long time ago!

I'd definitely be happy to see other versions of Jane Eyre, but the one I watched, I thoroughly enjoyed. A bit sexualized in places but quite of few of these newer BBC versions tend to be.

[meganlynn09.livejournal.com]

Heh, yeah, I'm really interested in other versions and when bored enough will probably be seeking them out :D

I assume you mean the one with Colin Firth because I ABSOLUTELY have. Not even humoring you, I watched it a couple months ago and adored it so.

[meganlynn09.livejournal.com]

Yes, it pretty much put the 2005 movie to shame. OH YOUR ICON. I think I must re-watch something...at least the last part/episode. Yes, that would be good.

Hey, have you ever seen North and South (http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0417349/)?

[meganlynn09.livejournal.com]

Heh, aw, I probably shouldn't have brought it up :D Although, one of the stations was playing it non-stop and it DROVE ME BONKERS.

It's wonderful. As a terrible person, I haven't really read a lot of these books.

OH, it's not about the Civil War, I'm sorry. It's British-based. Here: North and South (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_and_South_%282004_mini-series%29). That talks about the mini-series, with a link to read more about the book.

[meganlynn09.livejournal.com]

Heh, yeah. It definitely deserves some checking out :D

Which versions of JE and S&S did you watch? My fave of JE is the BBC series with Timothy Dalton and some wonderful theatre actress. S&S fave is the one that Emma Thompson wrote the screenplay for and starred in. I did see the first half of the new BBC production, and found it interesting, but forgot to watch the second half.

[meganlynn09.livejournal.com]

I watched the, I believe, the most recent versions of both. The 2006 of Jane Eyre and the 2008 of S&S. I haven't actually seen any other, a bit of the mid 90's movie of Jane Eyre and I probably saw the Emma Thompson one a long time ago.
