Everything under the Sun...

I promise to reply to everyone tomorrow. Last couple of days have been a bit crazy.

This is a bit unconnected :)

I. Movies

Saw Across the Universe tonight. It was a flawed (if fun) movie but the creators of it were both incredibly talented and on drugs, to be able to fit all the Beatles songs the way they did. (it's worth seeing if for nothing ( Read more... )

I read Anna Karenina in high school and absolutely loved it. Just around the time I was reading it, I actually saw the 2000 British version with Kevin McKidd as Vronsky. He was actually really good and the combination of the miniseries and the book totally made me fall in love with the story. :)

Hmmmm, I should probably check this adaptation then!

You're reminding me that I never actually finished War and Peace though I absolutely adored it :o! I need to buy the books again ^^. And watch a good movie/tv version of it.

The 1960s Russian version is really long (8 hours????) and faithful and good.

I blogged about Aamir Khan's blog a while back. I've yet to work out the courage to comment to one of his posts. It seems like he replies and that is just the weirdest to me - he's Aamir Khan! He's supposed to be all unreachable and far-away. Now I can read his blog and comment and he might reply to me and just ..brain overload!

The defence of Indian cinema is indeed fantastic. The whole blog is so AAMIR. I love it.

I can't believe he not only posts but reads. That is what so boggles the mind. Hey, some of replies are spam, so you shouldn't worry about posting :)

There is also, apparently, a 2000 British mini with Kevin McKidd as Vronsky OMPH! Ypu reminded me! I watched this! It wasn't anything really interesting , though ( ... )

I agree- among all of "Anna Karenina" adaptations I really liked the old Russian one (http://uk.imdb.com/title/tt0061359/) with gorgeous Vasiliy Lanovoy as Vronsky (oh, he was the last of "classical" Russian actors):

I like that Anna's husband wasn't some sort of monster, but just rather a dull man.

Re: accident. I agree she might have changed her mind, but she did jump.

I am afraid I am more on Vronsky's side of the argument than Anna's. Anyone would have doubts and Anna is rather high maintenance. I prefer Levin and Kitty though.
