New Look for Western Week!

-
So, Legends of Western Cinema Week being a matter of mere days away, I put together a Western-themed header for the party!:D

(Yes, I know.  It's extremely Western.  But 't'will only be for the week.)  What think you all?  I was going to wait until July 27, but then I was making headers for later in the year and I thought, oh, what the heck, why not just unveil it now?  Hope you all like it!  I know it's a bit of a stretch for anyone not really interested in Westerns, but…I do promise that there's a more, um, conservatively varied one for after LoWCW:)

    *dies happily*

    So I don't even have to tell you how gorgeous this is, but I'm going to. IT'S SO BEAUTIFUL! So sunny and golden and wholesome and...AAAHHHHH. LOVE it, girl. And I'm totally okay with you keeping it up longer than WW, just so you know. :-)

    Now I REALLY want to make a western-themed header of my own. Hmmm....

    Wow! I love your new header!! I also suggest you keep it, even if only for a short amount of time, after the Western Cinema Week is over.

      Thanks, Bekah!! Yeah, I'm starting to think that I might. 'Cause my next one is extremely fall-themed, and it might be a good idea to leave this one up for a while to ease into fall before changing it:)

    Ooops! Sorry. That was me that just commented from a different computer. I was signed in, but it's doing this crazy thing where it still doesn't recognize it's *me* when I go to comment someplace. Sigh.

    Anyhow. As I was saying, I LOVE the western header and as far as I'm concerned you can leave it up as long as you like! ;D

    Ok something really funny about Viggo and Hidalgo. He bought one of the horses that played Hidalgo (I think it was the main horse) and he rode the horse down the Red Carpet. Here is a link to a pic of it.

    Just to comment on Bailey's comment above… I believe Viggo Mortensen also bought the horse that played Brego from lord of the rings.

      Yes he did and he also bought Asfaloth for Arwen's stunt double. She wasn't able to afford the horse when he went on auction and Viggo bought him for her.

Lark Rise to Candleford, Seasons 1-4 {review}

Well, darlin's, here 't'is!  A review of the TV series Lark Rise to Candleford .   SO!  I finished the final season the other night, and am here to discuss my thoughts;)  (Spoilers will be sprinkled indiscriminately!  Read at your own risk;D) LRtC centers around young Laura Timmins, a girl from the wee hamlet of Lark Rise, who moves to the  more affluent town of Candleford to work in her aunt's (or was she just a cousin?) post office.  Miss Dorcas Lane is probably the wealthiest person in Candleford and holds a lot of sway with the townspeople.  With Laura's advent into Candleford, the two communities begin to be intertwined. The show's basic plots aren't my absolute favorites, but I love how relaxed the show is, and how marvelous the characters are.  (Because they just ARE.)  It's a cozy series, but at the same time there are moments of rather intense drama.   I'm not feeling extremely eloquent for reviewing this series, heh

My Dream Cast for a Live-Action Remake of 'The Incredibles'

Alas, no, I am aware of no immediate plans for Disney to produce a live-action version of The Incredibles .  But if such plans should ever materialize . . . have I got a cast ready for them or what. 😉 ⸻ Elastigirl / Helen Parr Emma Stone Emma would rock Helen's grit & sass like no other actress available today & I will not be accepting criticism of that statement at this time.  I would absolutely love to see her in this role.  She would crush it.  Mr. Incredible / Bob Parr Eric Allan Kramer I know he's a leetle too old now, especially as a partner for Stone, but he's the only person I've ever been able to envision as Bob.  (Except Alan Hale, Jr., but he's about six feet too old.)  So it is what it is, peeps.  Violet Parr Mackenzie Foy   I went back and forth on the casting for Violet.  I would also love to see what Millie Bobby Brown could do with the role, so it was difficult to decide.  In the end, I think Mackenzie Foy would still be my first choice, but

Romeo and Juliet (2013) {review}

[Note:  Keep in mind that this review is written from the perspective of someone who has never actually read Romeo and Juliet , m'kay?:)  Also, there'll be spoilers, because, I mean…all things considered, you probably know how it all ends.] I first became seriously interested in watching this movie a) because of the utter gorgeousness of all the stills I saw on the Internet, and b) because it has Hailee Steinfeld.  I'd only seen her in True Grit (2011), but, I thought, wouldn't it be cool to see her in a completely different role? So, yesterday, I watched it.  And…I'm not quite sure what I think of it. First things first.  This movie was beautiful .  It was one of those films where you think, "I want just about this entire movie in screencaps."  The cinematography was excellent.  The lighting, the camera angles, the costumes and sets …aaaaaaahhhhh. See what I mean?? Hailee Steinfeld was absolutely precious as Juliet Capulet.  I th
