I am a sucker for chick flicks of any sort. I have watched 'Something's Gotta Give' I don't know how many times and in fact watched it again the other night. I just placed an order on Amazon for lots more period pieces too. <br />Now, I haven't watched The Way We Were in years and now that you mention it....I must watch it. I used to be a big Streisand fan. I really should re-visit all those old films.<br /><br />I went in to see the Grace Kelly exhibit at the V&A today and am definitely in the mood for Rear Window and High Society.<br /><br />So, there you have it! A long winded version but I do want to thank you for stopping by and following. I can see I am going to really enjoy your site too!<br /><br />Jeanne :)Jeanne Henriqueshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07986759909478180763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717764352812681670.post-56374394290656640642010-04-29T09:48:39.193+01:002010-04-29T09:48:39.193+01:00I knew we are all the same - almost - except whitn...I knew we are all the same - almost - except whitney-anne, which sort of proves the theory?<br /><br />I think you're right, Rose and Wilderness, 'it's just harmless escapism', but still it seems weird that we all do it even if we KNOW it's rubbish.<br /><br />To all those asking about Husband - he'd watch any sport except perhaps darts (I worry about your family NW London Girl ;)). I think watching grown men battle over a ball, throw spears or give each other punches gives him the same escape from reality as watching Katie adoringly gaze at the sleeping (and gorgeous!!!) Hubble does for me. Besides, I never could resist a man in uniform...<br /><br />Helena xxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02658858373848443540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717764352812681670.post-77690160667811344842010-04-29T01:00:25.719+01:002010-04-29T01:00:25.719+01:00Oh Helena!

The Actor will watch that as he likes Dave Lamb's commentary, he will watch Corrie at a push as the scriptwriting's so good (I'm loving Nigel Havers in it at the moment). He loathes the other soaps. He will also watch SATC although he says he's seen them all. I can watch them over and over. I still haven't watched the last series of Soprano's which I adored.. I think I'm clinging onto it in some way as I don't want it to end xxChristina @ Fashion's Most Wantedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06583201549332262341noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717764352812681670.post-8514865968998533082010-04-28T23:23:18.683+01:002010-04-28T23:23:18.683+01:00I used to be so above the rubbish & now I'...I used to be so above the rubbish & now I'm hooked!

I think basically we are just TV addicts - I suppose as we don't get out much any more it's a bit of escapism.Julie Sardinetinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05541550094754392755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717764352812681670.post-2784450922830451672010-04-28T16:54:33.389+01:002010-04-28T16:54:33.389+01:00I'm right with you here. I love to watch TV, ...I'm right with you here. I love to watch TV, and it can be a weird selection, I no longer do the soaps, though I hear Nigel Havers is doing a wonderful part as an Escort, so I might take a peek, but I love Spooks, and get so excited when I know it's a new series, and have to watch it on my own as I get annoyed at HH, or any of my chaps telling me it's rubbish. They are always watching any old sport, middle chap a few months ago was watching DARTS, for goodness sake how dull is that, no plot, no sub-plot, no murder, no affairs. I don't know why I love watching, it's something I have done really since having kids, I guess before them, I went out more, partying, playing and then things change and I can watch other people having an exciting time...xxNorth West London Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12157933476346944130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717764352812681670.post-61114228892882085772010-04-28T14:04:27.262+01:002010-04-28T14:04:27.262+01:00Yes I am female too I also like real rubbish like ...Yes I am female too I also like real rubbish like True blood and Heroes .. and throw in some Vampire diaries, the latter as it means I spend time with teenage sons watching what they enjoy.. I love the old Audrey Hepburn movies and West side story.. escapism is the key... Chanel 4 news is the only show I have actually featured on.. we are still on youtube.. I cringe when I see my very red with stress face sat on the sofa in the studio being interviewed, like a couple from a creature comforts advert... You have no idea how close that camera is and I hadn't been prepared so was not wearing sufficient makeup ....Great show though best news programme xxxWildernesschichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00204518870992194687noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717764352812681670.post-36440759943379192372010-04-28T12:54:24.112+01:002010-04-28T12:54:24.112+01:00I wish I knew the answer!

There is no better cure for a hangover or Sunday blues than the Come Dine with Me marathon on More 4. <br /><br />I actually think satc was extremely well made and stands the test of time- it goes a lot deeper than i think some of the fashioned obsessed (including me!) notice the first time round- that scene when Burger leaves Carrie and she throws the carnations- the pain SJP conveys really made me shake the last time I watched it. Likewise when Charlotte suffers the miscarriage and pulls herself together- very well done. They are very skilled actresses.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08459305021803770946noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-717764352812681670.post-21200597010516310122010-04-28T11:56:20.068+01:002010-04-28T11:56:20.068+01:00Ah you're a girl after my own heart!

I in turn marvel at his geeky How That Huge Bridge Was Built or The Hunting Habits Of A Mackerel programs! As you say it takes all sorts and Carrie's outfits/shoes/hair do's are much prettier to look at than fish! xTheOnlineStylisthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13993875451086499475noreply@blogger.com
