A Few Thoughts

First of all I just finished watching four hours of Anne of Green Gables. I didn't watch it all in one day, I spread it out over a three day period and I really tried to be productive while watching it, but ended up only getting a couple of clothes folded. Colin thinks I am a bit ridiculous because I have already seen most of it quite a few times, but I have never seen it from start to finish; so that is how I justify it. I could watch this movie over and over again. It is so cute and wholesome; it is so nice to watch a movie that is entertaining and clean!! I can't wait to watch "Anne of Green Gables-The Sequel!! I am sure most of you have seen this but if you haven't and you are a girl (guys would hate it) you should watch it. So good!!!
Second of all I am so disappointed with the guy they chose to play Edward in the Twilight movie. Does anyone think he is cute? (I think I will make that a poll question) Isn't Edward supposed to be the perfect man? I know they can't recreate every womens ideal man, but he doesn't even come close. They should have chose Gilbert Blythe :)

I love Anne of Green Gables. My sisters and I used to watch it all the time growing up. When Tyler was working swing shifts in Logan I checked out the very last movie from the library (I can't even remember the name of it) and watched it while he was at work (because if I tried to watch it while he was home he would just walk by and go "oh brother" and then make fun of me). :) I'd never seen that one before and wanted to see how it ended. Have you ever read the books? I've never been brave enough to try. I guess I need to read those Twilight series books though, I keep hearing good things about them.

He's not how I pictured Edward, but I think he'll be OK. I don't think he's cute on the pictures on Stephenie Meyer's website, but I think he was cute in the Harry Potter movie so we'll see how he turns out in Twilight...

I LOVE Anne of Green Gables & Avonlea but the Continuing Story is terrible!!! Love that Gilbert!! My favorite part is when she yells "How dare you" and breaks the slate over Gil's head.

Good for you. There is nothing wrong with spending some time with Anne. I am a fan of the movies myself. I hope the movie TWILIGHT is as good as the books!

I've never watched all of Anne of Green Gables. Crazy, huh! I'll have to one of these days. Does Colin have his game face on for this weekend? I know Denim does. Are you really leaving at 4 in the morning?:)

I agree, he is not the Edward I fell in love with in the book! Maybe he'll be one of those guys who become attractive during the movie like Mr. Darcy in Pride & Prejudice. I thought he was ugly in the beginning & then he turned attractive to me as the movie went on.

I love love love watching Anne, especially with cousins and family. We use to watch it when we would all get together. And yes I think they could of choosen a better edward, that guy is too skinny and his bones are poking out of his face. When I see the movie I will probably just pretend it is someone else!

I love Anne of Green Gables...it has been soooo long since I have seen it! Okay, so I am not the biggest fan of Robert playing Edward...I think every girl has a vision of their "perfect Edward" and I don't think anyone could play that perfect role! I think a lot of it depends on his acting...he might be able to pull it off!! What a great idea for a poll....I love it!

I will admit I am quite disappointed with their choice to play Edward!!! He didn't look anything like that guy in my imagination!!! I'll bet he's not as swauve(sp?) either!!:) P.S. I have never seen Anne of Green Gables. Maybe I'll have to rent it.:)
