A Couple Polls

-
In case you're reading this post despite optical challenges, I'll repeat that I have two polls I need you lovely dears to take!  (Not tolls, polls.  Tolls are tolls and rolls are rolls and you can't have one without the other.  If you get that reference, let's talk about our little guilty pleasure.)

I like to plan ahead with my headers, partially because I really enjoy figuring them out *ahem*, and partially because I like to have a general idea of what I'll be doing with the ol' blog over the months.  So I've made a number of headers, and I'd like you guys to lemme know which one you like the best or would most like to see.  (Of course, I'll probably end up using all or none of them over the course of this winter as I please, hehe, but democracy is smiled upon, and hence the poll.)




Secondly, I'm a bit hard up for time and post inspiration at the moment, so I'm afraid y'all will probably be stuck with lots of movie reviews for awhile.  That being the case, there are a number I could do, so which would you prefer?

Ever After

The Philadelphia Story

Lorna Doone

Casablanca

The Magnificent Seven

Northanger Abbey

August Rush

Around the World in 80 Days

Miss Congeniality

Letters to Juliet

Penelope

You get the picture.  So what would you be most interested in reading?

Thanks, darlin's!:D

    I like all of those headers but I think I might prefer the Frozen one. Movie reviews..... well I'm particularly fond of Casablanca, Lorna Doone and Northanger Abbey. I haven't seen The Philadelphia Story or The Magnificent Seven yet but I've heard they're awesome.

      Thanks, Lois! I'm thinking I might use the Frozen one in February--not sure why, but the idea struck my fancy.

      Great! We shall have to see...I'm really feeling a Lorna Doone review, though...;) And YES, they ARE! I just finished the Mag7 today *sniffle*

    I love the Frozen header, because, you know, Frozen is Frozen :) But I also really like the third one - the color and pictures are beautiful!!
    Oh dear, I just picked two out of three. That wasn't very helpful, was it? Sorry :)

    I would be really interested in a Northanger Abbey review, because I've only read the book - never seen the movie. I've read several different viewpoints on it but I would like to see what you think.

    Only if you do a review on Northanger Abbey, be forewarned: I Do Not Like Henry Tilney. Sorry, peoples, but he and I don't click.

    But maybe he's different in the movie. I have no idea - I do know that EVERYONE seems to like the movie Henry Tilney.

    I know that doesn't narrow it down much, sorry.

    (I love Henry Tilney. I thought everyone loved Henry Tilney. I'm not entirely sure how someone can un-love Henry Tilney, but now I've seen TWO people on the internet who don't, and my world is a sadder place.)

    1. Katie HannaOctober 2, 2015 at 9:46 AM

      Hamlette, I don't mean to make you sad by saying I don't like Henry. I just want people to know what MY opinion is, because, you know, it's my opinion.

      But really, I don't want you to think that I just don't like Henry cause I'm a grouchy person or whatever :) It's basically a personality issue. I'm an INFJ--and I don't know what he is, but it's definitely not an INFJ or anything close to it. And so we CLASH. Period.

      If you want to see some reasons why we clash, the following link may be helpful: http://personalitygrowth.com/infj-problems/
      (Pay special attention to the gif for #8. It's SO ACCURATE that it's scary. Plus it's hilarious.)

    2. Hamlette (Rachel)October 2, 2015 at 2:49 PM

      Jessica, it's not exactly that I myself am sad. I mean, a little bit I guess, but more like I'm sad on behalf of Henry Tilney that someone doesn't like him? It's that defend-and-protect thing.

      That site is awesome! Thanks for sharing. I found their list of introvert problems hilarious and true. Especially #7 -- today at Toddler Time at church, we had to say our names and the names of our children because we had some new people, and I had actual anxiety about having to say my name. For a moment after I said my name, I was like, "Wait, did I say the right name? Did I accidentally say 'Mommy' instead?"

      Randomly, this pretty accurately describes my relationship with Cowboy.

    3. Katie HannaOctober 2, 2015 at 3:44 PM

      I understand! See, that "defensive" thing is just not something I have myself--although I really admire people who have it :) With fictional characters, I don't ever really feel like I want to "protect" any of them. I can EMPATHIZE with them, but that's different. And I can also get really, really mad at the ones--like Henry--who don't live up to my (admittedly unusual) standards for What A Good Character Is Supposed To Do. Because INFJs are often extremely idealistic--unrealistically so, maybe--and we get really worked up by anything that doesn't seem "right" to us. Like that gif of the little girl saying, "You say things you don't mean, and you JUST CAN'T DO THAT!" That is sooooooooo me :)

      Thanks so much for sharing that "Introvert Problems" list! Some of them are so accurate it's creepy :) Like #5. YEAH.

      Oh, and #7--yes, I totally understand what you mean! That happens to me at college, too, when the teacher is like, "okay, introduce yourself and tell one interesting thing about yourself." I have a great time listening to everyone ELSE'S answers, but when all of a sudden I realize it's my turn, I freak out :-)

      I really liked that INTJ-and-ISFJ page. I think that's kind of the way it is for my parents, because my mom's INTJ and my dad is ISFJ. Rosie is an INTJ too, which is funny because only about 1% of women have that type :)

      Haha! That's all right, I don't mind;) By the way, Hamlette, I finished Mag7 yesterday, and MAH GASH. *sniffle*

      (I understand:( But I also understand not liking him, if you've never watched the movie. He really isn't so swell in the book, y'know.)

      I'll have to check out those websites! Thanks, you two!:D

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 reviewin...

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 Capul...
