This week's theme is nothing related to Robin Hood, with which feiran and I have fallen ever more steadily in love, but it is in a way.

[Poll #1048258]

Because I'm curious as to what adaptations y'all have seen and liked, so please add that in comments if you will. See you on Monday with discusion, shall I?

Man, what adaptations haven't I seen? Okay, not She's The Man, the modernized Twelfth Night, because Twelfth Night is untouchable to me (even if I did want to buy the Illyria Prep t-shirt prop they had up on ebay!) But I probably WOULD watch it if I caught it on tv or something.

But yeah, I'm sort of a whore for these things. I really like the modernized Great Expectations, not because it was actually good, but because it was PRETTY and had awesome music. I also like The Prestige movie a thousand times better than the book, even though the book is cool in its own way. I love the miniseries P&P after I finally saw it, but the Kiera Knightley movie looks hideous and I can't even bring myself to rent it after you and others have told me all that's shit about it. So it's a tossup. I'll usually watch anything and rate them all as I please.

I really, really enjoyed Stardust, most recently. Just as enjoyable as the book, and I was prepared for a letdown, there.

I certainly watch every adaptation ever made, so it would seem, but I don't usually like them. It's the rare thing made so well I prefer it to the original. Or, I guess I should say, the first thing I saw. I've liked adaptations better than original works for not having seen/read the original prior to the adaptation.

But I'm not about to watch She's the Man, no matter how much Devin seems to think it's the greatest thing ever.
