Yes, I'm not quite convinced yet either, but I'll save my criticism for when I have actually seen them in their roles.

And rightfully so!

I have only read The Remains of the Day so far, a beautiful book that says so much on so few pages.

Spaceballs. Same.

I'm a bit of a stickler myself, but if I'm honest, I have to admit that you simply can't adapt a book for the screen without changing or leaving out certain aspects. I'm curious to see what they will make of this.

I agree about "50 Shades" - what a load of utter rubbish, badly written and full of clichés.

Nine years this November. Same.

I'm with the Calvin & Hobbes crowd. Do you like Disney movies?

Have someone kick me in the backside (verbally). Same.

Patrick O'Brian - Master & Commander :star4: I've finally got around to reading the first instalment in the series about Captain Jack Aubrey and his surgeon-friend Stephen Maturin. A great nautical adventure, well researched with lots of details (I have to confess that I didn't really get into...

Hobbes wins paws down, of course! Do you like musicals?

Rufus Sewell (fine on stage, too!) Same.

Nope. Do you watch "Homeland"?

Shades of Grey was fantastic, too (unlike its dreadful namesake ...) I hope we will get the promised sequel some time soon.

I have read all of the series and thoroughly LOVE it. Weird, clever stuff.

I finally read Treasure Island and really loved this classic adventure. Long John Silver is quite an intriguing character.

I haven't read Bring Up the Bodies but Mantel's previous Tudor novel, Wolf Hall. Not your run-of-the-mill historical book but a demanding, rewarding read about the fascinating Thomas Cromwell.
