First, thanks so much for the follow -- I ...Olivia,<br />First, thanks so much for the follow -- I was so very happily tickled to see your button pop up on my sidebar! ;D<br /><br />And no, I haven't seen the Antonio Banderas versions yet, but (as I'm now on a compulsive, long term marathon for all things Zorro related) I'm sure I'll be looking into them at some point. :) Did you like it?<br /><br />And hem! *clears throat* <i>Shadow on the Mesa</i>. Um.... yes. Quite. Very much so indeed. ;) I first got it at our library before promptly adding it to my collection, but I've heard it's on YouTube. I hope you can find it soon!<br /><br />YES. <i>The Music Man</i> is sooooo sweet <i>and</i> gorgeous -- such a favorite! ;D<br /><br />And thank you! I'm so glad you enjoyed them!Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17418854988524303306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8412327638222072810.post-18779917106473087142015-08-06T03:19:21.672-07:002015-08-06T03:19:21.672-07:00Ooooh!:D

The second one of his is the only Zorro movie I've ever finished watching, and I feel slightly uneducated;-P<br /><br />I really want to watch <i>Shadow on the Mess</i> (because, um, Wes Brown and Kevin Sorbo). Do you know if it's on YouTube or Netflix or anything?<br /><br />That version of <i>The Music Man</i> looks adorable!!! Kristen Chenoweth and Matthew Broderick!! :D<br /><br />I quite enjoyed reading your answers!:)<br />Oliviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03546655886492251059noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8412327638222072810.post-46042295536965301912015-08-04T16:38:53.384-07:002015-08-04T16:38:53.384-07:00Rose,

I'll definitely have to look into it! ;)<br /><br />Hmmmm. <i>The Music Man....</i> There are a few details, but it'd get kind of long and categorical in a comment here -- would you be all right if I get the answers to you in an email sometime? Or were you wanting to watch it like this weekend??<br /><br />*Laughing* After I wrote that, I was actually measuring for garment fitting etc. and found out I'm just 5'5".

A couple points I wanted to comment on....<br /><br />I really need to see Shadow on the Mesa soon....have you ever heard of the movie "The Redemption of Henry Meyers"? It's a Christian western and I liked it a lot. Not a "favorite" movie, but I still enjoyed it. And, you know, it's a redemption story....in case you didn't get that from the title. ;)<br /><br />How is "The Music Man" content wise? I've heard of it vaguely but never looked into it.<br /><br />You're 5'4"? For something reason I envisioned you a bit taller, haha.

I look forward to it unfolding whenever you unfold it, hee. <br /><br />It looks like TMM is on YouTube chopped into about 17 pieces, but maybe I'll be able to watch it that way.<br /><br />I'm nearly done with TSATR, and I love the prince and the fairy godmother!

It seems like a tremendously long time to wait, but it also makes something to look forward to after all the fall and Christmas festivities. :))<br /><br />And oh dear.... sigh. I do hope you can find it somewhere! And you are?? Yay! I know I told you about some of the potentially slow points, etc. :P, but how are the fairy godmother and the prince measuring up so far?Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17418854988524303306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8412327638222072810.post-84191331279330887002015-07-25T15:30:53.219-07:002015-07-25T15:30:53.219-07:00I'm happy you've found yourself a fandom! ...I'm happy you've found yourself a fandom! Also, this gives me all sorts of Christmas present ideas :-D There's so much wonderful Zorro stuff in the world :-D<br /><br />My library doesn't have the newer Music Man, so I'm going to see if I can watch it online. Right now, though, I'm in the middle of <i>The Slipper and the Rose</i> (ahem), and then I need to rewatch the original <i>3:10 to Yuma</i> so I can review it for Western Cinema Week...Hamlette (Rachel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961916847426233995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8412327638222072810.post-60440228903915003582015-07-24T15:37:58.736-07:002015-07-24T15:37:58.736-07:00Hamlette,
ZORRO!!! Yes, okay. I can't say much...Hamlette,<br />ZORRO!!! Yes, okay. I can't say much more than that or I'll be going on indefinitely. Honestly, I love <i>LOVE</i> classics and period dramas and certain Disney films, etc., to absolute pieces, but I was starting to wonder if I'd ever find anything I was absolutely nuts about.... that I could go places with. It's kind of hard to have a fandom about one film. (I mean, <i>Tangled</i> and <i>North and South</i> are two of my three favorite movies, but you can't really have a fandom about them, can you?? Well, actually I do, but you know what I mean.... :P) Anyhow, all that to say, I've now found mine!!!! Yay!! ;D<br /><br />And thank you -- I'm hoping the pattern arrives soon so I can start sewing! The wedding color is teal, so I'm hoping to use a pretty chiffon on the bluer end of the spectrum. I can't wait to share pictures if all goes well!<br /><br />And I hope you're able to see the newer <i>Music Man</i> before too long!

I have pics for quite a few of mine and I'm absolutely thrilled to have perfect ones for my two main characters. (It took a long time -- several years! ;)) The pictures for my heroine are actually from an ad and also a knitting book, but I have her personality so firmly entrenched it works great. And then my hero's "cast" from a couple films (which is a long story) and it's working out fantastically. So altogether I'm one happy writer!! ;)Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17418854988524303306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8412327638222072810.post-26791179801569619862015-07-24T15:10:53.494-07:002015-07-24T15:10:53.494-07:00Lois,

I was watching with my sisters and we were in stitches -- you can't help it. The 1920's was the first Zorro (after the book, of course) and started off the swashbuckling genre (including, I would guess, a good many other stories that take a bow here and there to the tradition, like <i>Princess Bride</i> :)). If I'm remembering correctly, it's also the first one the husband-wife team (Douglas Fairbanks and Mary Pickford) did together.Heidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17418854988524303306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8412327638222072810.post-5213120192648640062015-07-24T15:02:16.929-07:002015-07-24T15:02:16.929-07:00Emma!!

(Okay, after the busyness of your western week and whenever you have a free summer evening would be all right, too. ;)) But seriously. Let's just say I saw the old version and didn't really ever want to see it again. And then I saw the '03 and it somersaulted to my favorite movies list. It may even win out as my all-time favorite musical. The way they tweaked the story in places is just incredible (I LOVE the ending!!!).... and most of the costumes are just deliciously gorgeous. (I want some of them in my closet <i>so badly</i>. Badly enough that I think one of these days I'll actually try making a few of them! ;)) Tell me if/when you're able to see it! ;DHeidihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17418854988524303306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8412327638222072810.post-72521361160723025812015-07-24T14:50:57.632-07:002015-07-24T14:50:57.632-07:00Sarah,
