Welcome to My Lady Lorna


Some silly ramblings... such as the Top Five Reasons You May Have Watched Lorna Doone... and the Top Five (Shallow) Reasons to Watch it Again!!

5. You know a cousin, who knew a daughter who knew an uncle who heard from his grandmother that her great-nephew was a boyfriend of the girl who carried coffee to the understudy of the sister of the cousin who played an extra. In respect for your cousin, who knew a daughter who knew an uncle who heard from his grandmother that her great-nephew was a boyfriend of the girl who carried coffee to the understudy of the sister of the cousin who played an extra, you watch the film, to keep your friendship alive.

4. You can relive a past you never knew you had, in a place you never knew! Secretly, you *know* that your great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather was John Ridd. Therefore, watching the movie is historical and valuable to your concept of family ancestry. You were pleasantly surprised, however, to know that your great, great, great, great, great, great, great grandfather was so adorable.  

3. You had a friend rave about it for an entire week, and finally gave in, wanting to know what she saw in it. Since then she's taken you off her mailing list, having given you up as "hopeless" in that you think far too highly of a British production. (That in the addition that you were smart enough to video tape it, and she wasn't.)

2. You'd read the book, kept up on the movie news, and chewed nails when it finally premiered. Your English teacher isn't thrilled with the compositions on "The History of the Doones," a "Study of Carver," and "Lady Lorna" however, and doesn't consider "fiction" to be a part of historical writing.

1. There was nothing better to do. That's pathetic. You should be sent before Judge Jeffries and hanged for such allegations against the film. Shame on you... your punishment shall be that we will strip your computer of all the Carver Doone pictures you've stored on there and banish your John Ridd files the Recycle Bin.


The Top Five (Shallow) Reasons You Should Watch Lorna Doone Again

5. It's a breathtaking epic in which you watch two gorgeous males fight over an extremely lucky girl; haunting music and intense tension not withstanding.

4. It's the only movie in which you get to see Adian Gillen AND Richard Coyle at the same time!! 

3. Because those little braids in Carver's hair are cute, and there's always time to ponder how many there are. 

2. Because you haven't learned all the dialogue yet. If you're going to impress (annoy?) your friends, you need to know the proper way in which to reply to anything, whether it be a marriage proposal or the knowledge that a relative isn't who he says he is. Besides, you need to know how to "torment" your pesky cousin.

1. If you don't watch it again, you won't know how many buttons are on John Ridd's jacket, and the excruciating pain and embarrassment of knowing such a vital piece of information would be more than you could bear.
