Short & Sweet


Hello everyone! As aforementioned this must necessarily be directly to the point, but I just came out of period drama land (whilst washing dishes at the same time ;)) and felt the urgent need to hit the nice orange Publish button.

I JUST WATCHED BLEAK HOUSE FOR THE FIRST TIME!!

And ohhhh.... my. It's not one of my absolute tippity top favorites yet (it takes a lot to compete with N&S etc.), but I don't know when I've cried so much (both sad and happy tears) for a film. And I can't believe all the new period drama friends I've made!

Truth be told, I'm already hoping to rewatch it with my mom when she comes to visit next week. (And review coming eventually... I'm sure. ;))

So tell me! I have to know. Have you seen Bleak House?

    I think I need another Christmas break so I can watch period dramas like Bleak House: it sounds so good, and I'm definitely hankering for a good movie.
    North and South is very hard to top indeed! Who's better: Mr. Thornton or Mr. Darcy?

    I read Bleak House in 2015 I think. I need to see it. But then, I'm behind hand in seeing most Dickens films.

    It's been such a long time since I last watched Bleak House and while I agree it isn't my top favorite - it is a great (and quite different) movie! I can't even remember how my sisters and I found it but we did (I think through YouTube) and we watched it enjoyed it. I'd love to go back and rewatch it now! :)

    I love the Charles Dicken’s character. They are so weird, dark and so funny.
    I saw Bleak House two years ago and I loved it. So intense and tense all the time.
    Have fun!

    "Bleak House" was such a good adaptation! Gillian Anderson was perfect for her role!

I'd love to hear your thoughts and look forward to further confabulation. Please just be courteous to one and all. Oh, and I love thoughts on old posts, so comment away!

(Also of late -- what with time being finite, and Life Happening + managing multiple blogs and computer issues and all that -- I sometimes have to alternate between creating new content and replying to comments, but rest assured I'm thrilled to hear from each and every one of you and always hope to reply thoughtfully in full ASAP. <3)
