Queen of the Happenstance Realm

Happenstance, it is all just happenstance isn't it? This blog is used to share my thoughts about whatever silly or serious somethin' or other that's on mind- I use to update it everyday until... until... Feel free to leave comments, I love sharing ideas and IF you comment, I might start posting again. Represented are some aspects of who I am. All this together is a small piece of my life.

Emma

And so I beg of your comments and you give nothing in turn. How can it be that I am asked to post my thoughts and yet they go out there with not a response? It is dreadful and shameful. Have you no regard for the feelings of this poor poor blogger?

Okay, so if I am being dramatic it is a direct result of the movie of which I just now completed the view of. A dear dear movie that I did not see sooner for fear it would be a dreadful bore but alas I must admit I was mistaken.

This movie was exquisite. Fascinating and as wonderful to see as it was to hear. I long for times when speech is so well thought out, when subtlies are spoken with such grace. I speak of, if you cannot tell, the wonderful wonderful Emma.

Emma, you are such a pleasant pleasant film- one that assures me of romance and its role in society. I watched this movie of marriage ambitions and young love and am reminded of the free spiritedness that dwells in us all. How we long for what we know not of and often take for granted the blessings we are currently partaking in.

How pleasing for this stroll down a path of such a diverse and unique a portrait of another world, a good world indeed.

So what unexpected movies have you seen that made you appreciate something of which you may have not anticipated?

Great quotes from my favorite site...
Emma: I may have lost my heart, but not my self-control.

Mr. Knightley: I rode through the rain! I'd - I'd ride through worse than that if I could just hear your voice telling me that I might, at least, have some chance to win you.

Mr. Knightley: Emma, you didn't ask me to contribute a riddle.
Emma: Your entire personality is a riddle, Mr. Knightley. I thought you overqualified.

Miss Bates: It left us speechless, quite speechless I tell you, and we have not stopped talking of it since.

Mr. Knightley: You must be happy that she settled so well.
Emma: Indeed! One matter of joy in this is that I made the match myself. People said Mr. Weston would never marry again, and what a triumph!
Mr. Knightley: Triumph? You made a lucky guess!
Emma: Have you never known the triumph of a lucky guess? Had I not promoted Mr. Weston's visits and given encouragement where encouragement was needed, we might not have had a wedding today.
Mr. Woodhouse: Then please, my dear, encourage no one else. Marriage is so disrupting to one's social circle.

Mr. Knightley: Marry me. Marry me, my wonderful, darling friend.
Emma: Mr. Knightley, if I have not spoken, it is because I am afraid I will awaken myself from this dream.

Okay, I love any freaking movie related to the British 19th century, especially anything related to Jane Austen's books.

If you liked this you must, must! see BBC's mini-series of Pride and Prejudice. It is just as exquisite but the pleasure lasts longer.

Okay I'm going to have to borrow this from HippieChick- I need MORE. I never thought I'd be interested in Jane Austen's anything but that movie was WONDERFUL.

I have not really watched any movies lately.
We do not go the the movie theater anymore and I have not made it to blockbuster in a while.
Wait, a few weeks ago Michael rented "Sin City". It was weird and we did not make it through the whole movie. It made no sense. Waste of time!

I heard Sin City wasn't good, I steered clear of it.

Emma is very good- I loved it.
