Oh, it really is lovely to find people who have come up with the same mental
associations as I have. I don't want to be mailing OT, but I just have to
say on the Anne Subject:

I have redcently been to England, and in Heathrow, on th way back, in the
last 3 mintiues before they closed the HMV shop, I spotten the double
cassette of the third episode in the film adapted Anne trilogy. I have had
the two first ones (each containing 2 tapes) for many years, and had always
wished for a third one. I love the books, and even though these films
(espeially the 2nd episode) extremely LOOSLY based on the books, I like them
just as well, even as a completely new story. However, after watching only
15 mintues of episode three (which Ioriginally was extatic to have found,
and jsut by chance, at that) I was already very disappointed and saw that in
this case, their wanting to make something original and new had made the
film TERRIBLY not Anne-like at all. I mean, not only is it not remotely like
the original books (and after all, after her returning to Avonlea in the end
of the 2nd espiode of the Trilogy - they could have continued it just like
the book, they didn't have to continue the different course) , the third
episode isn't even remotely close to the first two. Okay, Anne, Gilbert and
Diana are the same actors, but they don't really look 5 years older as
claimed but 10 year older, and the lovely old music's different, and all the
settings are not original.

Okay, sorry for being so off-topic. if anyone can comment on this, you could
do it off-list to my address above...;-) I'd love to ehar anyone's thoughts
on this, as the only other frinds I have who read Anne, don't even agree to
watch the film adaptation....
