Ahem.
He really is sooo...YES YES YES JOHNNNNNNN!!!!<br />Ahem.<br />He really is sooo good, and he was perfectly cast, IMHO. That scene where he finally realizes that waiter is Sherlock...<br />well, yeah. <br />I bawled through The Hug too. I cried from the point when Someone We Love (a.k.a. the high-functioning sociopath, oooooh trying not to spoil..) is shot, to the end of His Last Vow. (That may or may not have had to do with the fact that it was late at night after my aunt's wedding, so my nerves were tight.) Everyone always talks about how they were laughing during the "your land-lady use to run a drug cartel" scene, but I'm like WHAT. I was crying my heart out the WHOLE TIME. Gahhhhh, the Sherlock feels...<br />And about the Reichenbach Fall, I saw an interview with the Mark Gatiss, Sue Vertue, Martin Freeman, etc and apparently you, Miss Dashwood, are correct. :-)<br />Moriarty.

Did you know that Harry Lloyd is a direct descendant of Charles Dickens on his mother's side? So Harry Lloyd is a Dickens! OK so he's not a Dickens by name but he's one by blood and in my book that counts! :D Yeah... I didn't think very much of Douglas Booth either. I didn't think he was terrible or anything but he was a bit wooden. He sure is pretty though! :D I didn't enjoy Helena Bonham Carter's Miss Havisham as much as Gillian Anderson's but she's great too, and I think Jeremy Irvine is even better in GE 2012 than he is in War Horse. So, yeah, I think you'll really like the film! :)<br /><br />Just reading through your other comments... girl I can completely understand why you can enjoy being emotionally traumatised. I'm an INFJ and we dig emotional catharsis in a really big way! And didn't I read somewhere that you're an INFP? INFJs and INFPs tend to be very similar. And I would love a review of Little Women (1994) too. Just to warn you though, it's a massive childhood favourite of mine so if you give more than minor criticisms of it you will make my inner child CRY! And can you make a child cry?! Can you?! Can you?! :DHannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08112080523452829647noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6373804891656164472.post-66981763963357361412014-02-24T02:35:29.520-05:002014-02-24T02:35:29.520-05:00I think I need to start watching Sherlock sometime...I think I need to start watching Sherlock sometime... sounds good!

You can tell me stuffs whenever YOU feel like it. :D <br />Waaait wait wait. So the dude acts in it AND had something to do with writing it? o.O <br />Ha. :D Well, I DO understand the appeal to being emotionally traumatized when it comes to fiction (real life Bad Things... notttt so much), but don't you agree that Very Happy (as in, the real thing kind of happy, snort) is still better? :D<br />Ehehehe. I didn't set out to quote it. First I typed "I am no longer alone" and then I thought of That and then I kind of had to do it. :P<br />I KNOWWWWW. I was so scared the whole time I was reading it that there was going to be something awful that would make me not like it anymore, haha, because it's just so rare. And even though there were some things I didn't like, they didn't make me dislike the book itself. ;)<br />We should talk more about it sometime. :D<br />Well, I DO like hearing your thoughts when you just tell me better than a review, so don't not do that even if you are going to review it. :DMelodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05676306236172688321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6373804891656164472.post-86526923896636463082014-02-23T16:41:10.498-05:002014-02-23T16:41:10.498-05:00These posts are so fun.

YES I LOVE HARRY LLOYD AS HERBERT. Herber...Hannah,<br />YES I LOVE HARRY LLOYD AS HERBERT. Herbert is the best part of the show, hands down. I wasn't thrilled with Estella either... but to be honest, I also didn't think much of Douglas Booth as Pip. Heehee. I really want to see the 2012 version-- it'll be interesting to see Helena Bonham-Carter as Miss Havisham, and I really enjoyed Jeremy Irvine's performance in War Horse so it'll be fun to see him in another role. And Biddy's in it? Yippee! I really like her-- it was a shame they left her out in the 2011 one.<br /><br />Batzion Francesca,<br />Kristoff and Moriarty Forevah. :D Oooh, you like Lark Rise too? Yippee! It's such a sweet show... not really comparable to something like Sherlock, but I love it in a different way. The third and fourth seasons are my favorite. :D<br /><br />Mr. Edger--er, Alex,<br />Had a great time watching Sherlock! (Yes, I think that's evident, Amy...) Ah, yes, the look of surprise... that's the sort of face Lady Catherine makes in the mirror every morning, I expect. :D<br /><br />Anonymous,<br />Awwww, I'm so glad you feel at home here! Do please pull up a chair and enjoy your stay-- borderline obsession with all those things is what we do best. :D<br /><br />Miss Dashwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15821653607968651548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6373804891656164472.post-76735831150537450022014-02-23T15:52:09.979-05:002014-02-23T15:52:09.979-05:00So, I just found this blog and feel as if I have c...So, I just found this blog and feel as if I have come home to a group of kindred spirits!

LARKS RISE PLEASE!!! :) I've started watching it and am head over heels in love with the simple beauty, sweetness, and morality of this wonderful series. :) Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08981547852199499829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6373804891656164472.post-76582145622122263442014-02-23T11:13:43.594-05:002014-02-23T11:13:43.594-05:00I thought Harry Lloyd was all kinds of adorable as...I thought Harry Lloyd was all kinds of adorable as Herbert Pocket and that Gillian Anderson was absolutely brilliant as Miss Havisham. But imo Vanessa Kirby wasn't beautiful enough to play Estella. This might sound really mean but I thought that she looked plain standing next to Douglas Booth. Pip shouldn't be more attractive than Estella! I was sad that they completely left out Biddy as well. I think she's quite an important character to the story. But I did still enjoy GE overall :)<br /><br />Have you seen the 2012 film? I actually prefer that adaptation even though it's shorter. It's got Biddy AND it's got Mr Wemmick and his father. It contains more of Dickens' dialogue. Holliday Grainger's Estella is really beautiful and she and Jeremy Irvine had really great chemistry.

Squeeeep.<br />Oh, drat, I should have told you so you could have advised me. But then, you wouldn't want to pollute my mind, now would you? Stop SINNING. Seriously.<br />BAHAHAHAHAHAHA, you've found out my secret. Martha Finley is my new obsession. I'm in the Finley Fandom. We call ourselves the Elsivators.<br />I can't not love Moriarty-- after all, if I jump on his back then we both can fly. How can any girl resist that? <br />So glad you liked the pics. That is a nice knocker, is it not? *squeaky voice* Knockerwood.<br />Not ALL first-time parents are clueless. SHEESH. What about the New York Yankees, though? And of course Martha always knows what she's talking about. It's not like she's a child or anything.<br />You'll still talk to me if I say minor mean things about SIT? NO YA WON'T!!!<br />Miss you bunches. Now go clean up the crumbs, and make sure you and the dustpan don't get too touchy-feely. Do it, my child.<br /><br />Melodyyyyyyyyy,<br />Oh, goody. I am always happy to tell more Sherlockness if you're in the mood. :D <br />Well, you can bang Moffat and Gatiss (yep, he IS John Dashwood :D) on the heads with a pan if you like. I shall stand by and applaud. But hey, I rather like being emotionally traumatized. Sad is, after all, happy for deep people.<br />AHAHAHAHAHAHAHA I LOVE IT WHEN YOU QUOTE LES MIS, MY CHILD.<br />Ahem. <br />Hahahahahaha, I did indeed like DMK that much. It's awfully rare for me to come across a modern book that's THAT good. *coughcoughdidIjusttypethatoutloud*<br />I actually wasssss planning on telling you my thoughts on SIT but I shall take your comment as a vote for that one nonetheless. :DMiss Dashwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15821653607968651548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6373804891656164472.post-71098368801255677802014-02-22T22:20:17.736-05:002014-02-22T22:20:17.736-05:00Emma Jane,

I'm a hopeless romantic, so it Spoke To Me on a Deep and Personal Level. Bahahahahaha. No, no, in all seriousness, it was great, and I definitely want to review it. :D<br /><br />Hannah,<br />Awwww, thank you! I'm quite proud to call myself part of the fandom now. I didn't mind your asking at all! Frozen was indeed the first movie I ever saw in a cinema/theater/whatever (except informational things at museums and such) so it was a really cool first experience. Loved it! And GE 2011 was amazing, was it not?<br /><br />JNC,<br />I adore Molly! She and Sherlock have to get together. They just have to. I don't care if it's not canon. I don't care what they're going to say. :P<br /><br />Ginger,<br />GAH THE MUSTACHE BIT ISN'T IT AWESOME.<br />"I don't shave for Sherlock Holmes."<br />"You should put that on a t-shirt."<br /><br />Hayden,<br />I have not seen Tangled yet, a fact that caused Ally's younger siblings to practically expire from shock. :P But I HAVE seen an awful lot of clips and such, and though I probably shouldn't judge based solely on those, I still don't like Flynn as well as Kristoff. Kristoff is my type of guy, Flynn really isn't, end of story. Heehee. And the A Life of Faith rewrites ARE better but the storyline remains, haha. Ugh. I do really like the ALOF Millie Keith books, though.<br /><br />Livia Rachelle,<br />Bahahahahaha about the kings and princes of Europe... yep, Elsie's pretty easy to hate. Ick. I watched the first two series Sherlock on ClearPlay, but s3 didn't have it... however, we just fast-forwarded a couple of scenes and it was fine. (Some minor language, but not half as bad as I'd feared it might be.) Unfortunately I don't have a link for the white dress pic, but Google tells me the artist is Alfred Emile Leopold Stevens, a Belgian painter in the 19th century.Miss Dashwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15821653607968651548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6373804891656164472.post-45925071292062838952014-02-22T21:02:57.067-05:002014-02-22T21:02:57.067-05:00The part about Elsie made me laugh out loud.

I mean, I feel like I should be tracking somebody down and banging them on the head with a pan for hurting you. :P<br /><br />Oh, I'm glad you thought there was some weirdness in Frozen... haha. FINALLY I'm no longer aloooone. (Now the love in my l--NOPE.)<br /><br />OHHHH! I was not aware that you liked DMK quite THAT much. How splendid. :D :D *feels satisfied at having been the one to read it first* :P<br /><br />Nooo, of course I am not fighting an ugly green monster when reading the paragraph about inside jokes. What would ever make anybody think that. Ha. Haha. Hahahahaha.<br />But seriously... it's bad enough not being one of the ones involved in any of the inside jokes... but then added to THAT I have to be curious about what on earth everything you said meant and what their origins were.

Heheheeeee!:P Gosh. I HAVE SINNED! <br /><br />Elsie is creepy forevermore. And to think I used to be obsessed with her. For two seconds when I read "Dear Martha Finley" I was like, WUT, wut is she doing in a fangirl post. Then I got it. <br /><br />Also you love Moriarty. You know you do. Cuz if you don't grieve him, you won't leave him behind. <br /><br />And I like the pics. 'Specially the top one. Because, ya know, I like the 221B knocker. Yes. <br /><br />Also, amputations?

A VERY WARM WELCOME TO THE SHERLOCK FANDOM!...Ha ha! A VERY WARM WELCOME TO THE SHERLOCK FANDOM! I'm so glad you loved it so much :)<br /><br />I just want to ask - and I really hope you don't mind - is Frozen really the first movie that you've ever seen at a movie theater (we call it a cinema in the UK)?! I don't doubt your honesty but I just can't get my head around it! I don't know anyone who's never been to a movie theater before. Oh dear, that might make you feel bad. Sorry!<br /><br />Hmm, for your next post... I think I'd go with Great Expectations (2011) actually. I'd be interested to know your thoughts on that one.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08112080523452829647noreply@blogger.com
