For a Coen brothers movie, I thought it was much more in line with Oh Brother, than some of their more recent movies.Square Peghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10065536698899993791noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20381399.post-17392543112046669252011-03-06T15:39:30.350-06:002011-03-06T15:39:30.350-06:00Amy, I don't know if we'll ever get out yo...Amy, I don't know if we'll ever get out your way or not, but we'll have to keep that in mind! I have other family in KS who are near the Indian Territory house (or replica), in Little House on the Prairie. <br /><br />.m.--So nice to hear from you! I'm glad to hear your opinion of the movie. Maybe we'll move it up to a date night/"in theaters" choice rather than an at-home DVD viewing!<br /><br />The book is short, and I liked it but didn't love it. It is written in an original voice, which I enjoyed but also found stilted at times. I could totally see it as a movie, though--perhaps even a movie that is better than the book, as rare as they are. I think I may also have read the book too fast. Well, let me know, if you get to read it!<br /><br />~JeanneAt A Hen's Pacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02244490539003130874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20381399.post-6544642570606914532011-03-06T11:41:34.663-06:002011-03-06T11:41:34.663-06:00The movie is incredible - one of the best I've...The movie is incredible - one of the best I've seen in a long time. I was very glad to have caught it in the theater (rare for us, these days.) I highly, highly recommend it. <br /><br />And I've been looking for the book, as I've heard its a classic. It seems to be one that folks go back to again and again.tanglehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15207392923536069583noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20381399.post-35980571450945915382011-03-06T10:35:30.381-06:002011-03-06T10:35:30.381-06:00I tried reading Little House in the Big Woods to R...I tried reading Little House in the Big Woods to Rosi last year, but she was a bit too young yet and wasn't really getting into the story. Maybe we can start again this year.<br /><br />Did you know we're only about an hour and a half from the "Little House on the Prairie" homestead in DeSmet, SD?
