Ahhh, thou art more cultured than I. Which is kind of the norm with most of my listy, so I have no idea why I am bovvered by this. Just...wow, I really need to read some of these and watch the films/adaptations. I usually have a quibble with adaptations. Most of them do not hold true and have a tendency to rub me the wrong way (if I read the book/saw the original material before it was adapted).

Though, to be fair, I disliked Agatha Christie's 'style' (please don't throw things!) and find her works tiresome and hard to read, but I do love 'Poirot' from Masterpiece Theater/A&E Mysteries. Which only goes to show how far I am culturally stunted. Can't read the older works, but enjoy THOSE adaptations on screen. I was raised on Masterpiece and I have loved the period pieces/mysteries they would show me. The only ones I found that surpassed the books was Sherlock Holmes (Jeremy Brett's version). I adore Holmes and loved the books as a kiddo, but even I could see some of the glaring inconsistencies (sorry, ACD, old boy). But seeing Holmes ON SCREEN perfectly rendered was a thrill. I even like the modern adaptation of Moffat's devising, though I refused to see it for the longest time. But he made no bones about what he was doing. So I suppose I can take some deviation from the text, as long as one is upfront about it and isn't 'making something similar and just slapping the name on'.

Damn, I'm rambly! Sorry. We'll just go with: 'UGH. POST GOOD. THANK YOU. MANDY LIKE.'
