Happy New Year!!!War Horse,King`s Speech and Arthur are awesome movies :) I love Sherlock ^^

[birdienl.livejournal.com]

A happy new year to you to! I completely agree with you!

[msantimacassar.livejournal.com]

This is so cool! I adore picspams like this! The way you did the tv shows is especially clever!

[birdienl.livejournal.com]

Thanks very much, dear!

This is now the third year I've did the similar style end-of-the-year picspam, so maybe I have to think of a new style for 2013!

[msantimacassar.livejournal.com]

:)

It's a lovely thing to do, whatever style you choose!

It's been a pretty good year for fandoms, hasn't it? :)

Gah, I just realized I have yet to see The King's Speech! *smacks forehead* Bad period movie fan!

[birdienl.livejournal.com]

Yes, it was a nice year indeed! Lots of new productions from the great BBC. I'm not so very satisfied over my reading, but that's just a time problem.

Oh dear, then you're really missing out, because it is a wonderful movie! Hope you'll make it a 2013 resolution to watch it! But I don't think you're a bad fan, there are so many period movies I still have to watch, even from years back!

[ever-maedhros.livejournal.com]

But I don't think you're a bad fan, there are so many period movies I still have to watch, even from years back!

True, there is more period movies out there than meets the eye at the first glance. (Still not quite enough, though!)

[birdienl.livejournal.com]

Not quite enough?! Pfff, my to-be-watched list says something else I'm afraid!

[ever-maedhros.livejournal.com]

Mine does, as well. But I still long for more! LOL.

I didn't know they made a movie of "Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister"! And it's got James Pryce in it?? I'll have to check that out!

Man, Bride Wars still makes me feel sad. It could have be SO GOOD. And it was just SO BAD.


What's the Decoy Bride like? I read about it the other day, and would kinda like to see it, but I don't want to be horrifically disappointed!

[birdienl.livejournal.com]

I actually liked the Confessions of an Ugly Stepsister movie better then the book!

Decoy Bride is just so very sweet and funny and it's got David Tennant who can act quirky in it, it's an absolute must-see in my book!

Goodness! Again you've got some great entertainment mentioned here. Thanks for sharing - and Happy 2013!
