    Ah, yes. I think maybe I erased that small detail from my mind. That part was indeed a little uncomfortable... I don't really know why. If it were someone else maybe, especially someone I'd never seen before or something, I might not have minded so much... I don't know, really.

    Absolutely. I love, love, love that quote as well. That scene really was fantastic. Oh man... I just loved the whole thing. And YES! The guy that plays her brother...oh gods... I said the same thing when I first watched it. Billy found his name on IMDB, but I can't remember right know... That guy was seriously hot...

    Oh, what did you think of the accent? I think that's what I really can't get used to... the rest I'm totally fine with... I don't know that many people from Swedan or anything, but that accent sounded to me more like a mixture of Irish English with something I can't quite put my finger on, like the sort of accent people always have for cartoon vampires, you know "vat am I going to do vitout you?"... It's just funny.

    I always get my own ideas of how everything should be when I read a book... and then movies can be disappointing. But I'd still rather read a book before watching the movie... If I see the movie first, then I sometimes can't get through the book, since I know the ending and all that... I prefer books to movies, so I'd rather have the experience of watching a movie ruined by already having read the book, than the other way around, you know... I can't explain it. It's just a fact... part of my life... Need to read the book first.
    I don't know anyone from Sweden, so the accent was all right to me. I don't know. It was a little funny to hear Mary talking in a foreign accent but I got used to it.

    That makes sense with the book thing. I prefer books to movies as well. Sometimes, though, the books have different endings than the movie, like Dances With Wolves. The end of the book was way different than the movie. The Judge was different, as well. So that part doesn't bother me, even if the endings ARE the same. But I will have to think about that next time--I'd rather have a movie ruined than a book anyday. Good point!

    Thanks to Dorka for this beautiful sig!!

        Thanks! *scampers off to IMDB him* He didn't look like he could have been Mary's little bro, but none of them really did look related. Except maybe her older bros, but that might have been the mustaches and creepy hairdos.

                      Okay, so I saw Crazy Like a Fox last night...let me just say..WooT!!!
                      Spoiler:
                      She was SOOO great in it!! Played the part of his wife so well, and as usual pulled off some comedy FABULOUSLY!! I think DWW is still my fav, but this one is my second fav MM movie!
                      She did romance, drama, comedy! All of it!
                      What made it so great for me too is that it took place and was filmed here in Virginia, where I live, the scenerey is BEAUTIFUL!

                            I never saw Mrs. Harris. Did Mary have a very big role in that one?

                              Nope... her role is tiny. *snif* And the hair... well, that's big! *headdesk* But I really liked the movie. A lot.

                                As angi said, no, not really. You should take a look at her unofficial homepage, though...
