That's exactly right. :) And if both ...YES. <br />That's exactly right. :) And if both of us try our best to do that, it should make at least SOME difference in the world. (And I know exactly what you mean--I'm often guilty of "judging" other denominations myself. Like, it's perfectly okay to disagree with their ideas, but I need to respect their convictions just the same.)

It's so interesting to see what characters people come up with! <br /><br />"I know I try to stick to characters I don't always talk about in these tags, but…to heck with that. Faramir is the best. Amen and amen." Haha! Yeah, might as well say it like it is! ;) Faramir's great!<br /><br />I've never seen Lorna Doone, Robin Hood, Peter Pan, or the Nativity Story, so I can't say much on those characters, but I still very much enjoyed reading your descriptions of them. Carver Doone sounds like a very complicated person. And though I've never seen him, I totally understand where you're coming from. There are definitely certain villains that you wish would just turn good! <br /><br />Oh my! Now you've got me curious...who's Meg? I might have to watch Robin Hood sometime, it sounds like it has a lot of good characters.<br /><br />~Miss MarchMiss Marchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03088465083055515308noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624597359174394097.post-15178912308343900672015-09-23T09:06:29.039-04:002015-09-23T09:06:29.039-04:00Thank you so much--that makes me really happy, Oli...Thank you so much--that makes me really happy, Olivia :) Yeah . . . it's tough. I think it's maybe because I live in the Deep South, where Catholics are really rare and so many people just don't KNOW very much about us. So they imagine we don't believe in Jesus or that we secretly worship idols--or worse. (I ain't kiddin' either. There are folks here who actually think that.)

Faramir!
Yes, I've reached the part in...Eek!!! Faramir! <br />Yes, I've reached the part in the Two Towers with him and he's great. He doesn't top Aragorn for me (yet...) but he's great nonetheless.<br /><br />Carver! I have this great liking for creepy villains who like the heroine....but of course, with the heroine being saved by the hero. I can see what you mean. Carver is just what you said-a sick little fiend- and yet-and yet-you do kind of go "aww" for him sometimes. It's just like, "Carver, why must you be like this?"<br /><br />GUY. I agree with everything you said about him. Yes-he's at his worst in the 1st season-killing people...and Annie. Ugh, we won't go there. But I just feel so. bad. for. him. As he says to Marian, he has NO ONE but the Sheriff. He has been trained and taught to do evil, he hasn't had a good influence in his life. And yes!!! Marian and Robin forever. But I know how Marian feels for Guy. She pities him and she can SEE where he could be good. She wants him to be good. <br />But yeah. I need to stop before I start crying. :"(<br /><br />I watched the 2003 Peter Pan a loooong time ago-and I want to watch it again. :)Nataliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00315660089925645214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624597359174394097.post-7987896310938894612015-09-21T12:15:56.539-04:002015-09-21T12:15:56.539-04:00Yeah, I was at first very confused by the movie Fa...Yeah, I was at first very confused by the movie Faramir.

I know, "real" vill...A lovely tag indeed!<br />I know, "real" villains are very hard to like. I can completely relate to your thoughts on Carver Doone. I watched the movie this summer, and though I really didn't like him I kinda wanted to (still don't know why).<br /><br />And Guy!! The anti hero over them all. When I watched Robin Hood I almost watched it more for Guy's sake than for Robin's. Such a well written character - I waited 3 seasons (very impatiently) hoping he would turn good at some point.<br />I love the 2003 Peter Pan. I loved that it came so close to the book, and the Hook portrayal was very much like I remember him in the book.<br /><br />Some great choices!!<br />Rose https://www.blogger.com/profile/13675286577484698201noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7624597359174394097.post-26170773080065372642015-09-21T10:32:28.471-04:002015-09-21T10:32:28.471-04:00YES HE DID AND IT WAS AMAZING.
