I did watch it Squonk, but I was disappointed. I always am when they put it on screen.

dizzydixies · 18/04/2008 21:44

ooh nosnik, monday - how exciting, is it your first?!

congratulations and good luck and remember to post and let me know pink or blue so I can choose the name

Nosnik · 18/04/2008 21:45

I was so looking forward to memoirs of a Geisha on screen, I wished I'd never bothered, I'm no way watching Atonement.

dizzy my 2nd, first was 6 years ago!

SquonkTheBeerGuru · 18/04/2008 21:47

brocolli - I think they're very good as films.

But as adaptations of the books, not so good.

There is just no way they can match your imagination

Nosnik · 18/04/2008 21:52

please can everyone avoid horror stories of massive babies and C sections, my baby was estimated as 8 lb 3 oz at 36 week growth scan, I've calmed down now but it wasn't funny!!

JossStick · 18/04/2008 21:54
Shock
Nosnik · 18/04/2008 21:55

memoirs movie, so not worth it, the romance is killed and the seediness glossed over. Only good bit is crazy geisha that main character lives with! can't remember names, rubbish at it!

dizzydixies · 18/04/2008 21:56

mine were 10lb4 and 11lb1 so am on way to 12lber this time

Nosnik · 18/04/2008 21:57

DP keeps telling me to keep off net cos I read scary stuff, according to comuter nerd terminology I'm a "cyberchondriac"!

JossStick · 18/04/2008 21:57

Was it Pumpkin?

Ambi · 18/04/2008 21:58

Good luck scorpio, all the best

JossStick · 18/04/2008 21:58

The thing i liked about that book was that i never expected it to be a love story until the very end.
