He doesn’t

Ginger beer isn’t usually alcoholic! There are some kinds that do have alcohol, but generally it’s “beer” as much as ginger ale is “ale.” It’s usually pretty good! You have to buy it from small companies that sell it in glass bottles. If you have a Cost Plus World Market near you, they have some really good ones.

At least if it was scripted then everyone involved would know it’s fake. I mean, I hope the celebrities on the show are just doing it for publicity/attention, but it’d be sad if they really believed they were talking to their dead loved ones :[

Yessssss. I love Burning Love! And I like How Did This Get Made too

Yes and no. Some people still love her personality, but others find it grating. She’s been lying low lately, though, so she doesn’t become too over-exposed. On the other hand, people are getting sick of her playing characters who are in their 30s and 40s, especially considering there are so few parts for actresses

I agree. It’s a shame so many male directors are enamored with casting leading actresses who are in theirs 20s - they haven’t had enough time to perfect their acting skills. By the time most actresses have developed their craft, directors have moved on to the next ingenue.

also on there: Spring Breakers

That’s a good one too!

It does vary. Though to be fair, it looks like the book you’re talking about was published about 30 years after Anne of Green Gables was.

Unfortunately, a lot of books about girls in the 19th and early 20th centuries were like that. The books are a reflection of their times and of the expectations of women.

I think that’s probably true. I wonder how much this girl understands about right and wrong? Her mother has made her lie about illness from a very young age. Not to mention, her mother intentionally kept her malnourished and made her take who-knows-what pharmaceuticals for years. I can’t even imagine this girl’s brain

Were you not into classic literature or adaptations maybe? Some kids aren’t. There’s also the fact that Anne herself is a little overly-precocious, haha.

L.M. Montgomery released books for decades, so some are in the public domain and others are not. Anne of Green Gables is in the public domain (granted, this may differ depending on the country)

I believe Netflix bought the rights to this particular CBC production for international distribution.

May I ask what you were interested in?

I would especially love one that plays up some of the darker/occult elements in the Emily series. L.M. Montgomery herself was interested in spiritualism and she added some of those elements to her works.

I was so into classic children’s literature when I was little. I read a million books by L.M. Montgomery, Louisa May Alcott, Frances Hodgson Burnett, etc. I wasn’t super into the tv/film adaptations though.

I need a new Emily adaptation that’s actually done well.
