Myles Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 And on the flip-side of MMs thread... Personally, I absolutely refuse to read or see *ANY* Harry Potter pap (yeah, yeah - I don't know what I'm missing) or the 'Rings rubbish (ditto). I admit it's a bit teenagerish - anti popular cultcha and all that - but I do dislike the 'me too' attitude typified by those stupid, bloody flags of the past few months.... 🙆🏻 Keep BC free and open for ALL.

Delbert Posted August 8, 2004 Share Posted August 8, 2004 Instruction manuals are very rarely read Chez Delbert What really gets my goat, Book wise, is Mary Kate and Bl******Dy Ashley. To the point that I've bought Delberta Little Women, lets see if I can mould her a little better. Then they release DVD's in Stain bugs 2 for the price of 1 just to hook the little Darlings so they don't even have to read the pap just get it aurally When you realise the worlds not nice just drop your pants and slide on the ice!!!

Violet Elizabeth Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 So do I, but just seems odd to not like it on the basis of a film, rather than not liking it 'cos you don't like it. Rather like dismissing Charles Dickens because Olly Read hammed it up in Oliver Twist rather too much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boonie Hound Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 Looks a bit embarrased...eh...uhmm...I quite like Harry Potter.......the books, that is.... Had to study the Hobbit as part of a Children's Lit module for my degree....helped me get a job I can tell you Lord of the Rings - good books but cut out the songs.

Violet Elizabeth Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 Read Great Expectations for O level Eng Lit and rather enjoyed it, got an "A" as well Subsequently read Oliver Twist. I liked the first couple of H. Potters. Very wasy reading, not too taxing for a 7am train book. First film I didn't like though ... have seen better graphics on a ZX Spectrum. 128M of course.

Boonie Hound Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 Throws spell at db Not a fan of the HP films at all - Stephen Fry's narration of the books is much better...but obviously not as visual...which is a blessing Darles Chickens is worth a read for both a literary and historical perspective...however, if it ain't your bag then don't worry. I get annoyed at elitism in literature. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Delbert Posted August 11, 2004 Share Posted August 11, 2004 The Wooster Talking books are , whilst not as good as reading ,are a Da** sight better than the Jeeves and Wooster played by Fry and Lawrie though on ITV When you realise the worlds not nice just drop your pants and slide on the ice!!!
