She will find a way!" <br /><br />I laughed for a thousand years at the line. Oh you are golden fifth dollanganger. How I love your ways. Oh man though. While I hate to admit it I've watched this movie like half a dozen times. I just get the craving to see the novel played out so I resort to this. Though that slap of Cathy's makes it all worth it. AHHH! So excited for the lifetime movie though! Here's to hoping it's better than this <3 <br />Merhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13145666811309933226noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6729079418464191535.post-41248324751510161242014-01-09T22:26:17.076-06:002014-01-09T22:26:17.076-06:00I saw it at my grandmother's house.

IThere's a picture somewhere on this blog too, down in the footnotes for one of the FitA recaps. <br /><br />I still haven't been able to figure out how the "wingtips act as fingers" for the bedcurtains, though. Every way I picture that, it ends up with the wings being in the way of actually getting into the bed.The Fifth Dollangangerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12592567828587739373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6729079418464191535.post-45591270780999212512014-01-05T10:44:09.157-06:002014-01-05T10:44:09.157-06:00I would have been 9 when the film came out, but I ...I would have been 9 when the film came out, but I know I didn't see it in the theaters, so I *might* have been ten when it hit the video stores (VHS, baby!). I remember I had another friend my age whose parents were extremely strict about monitoring all her media, but who had read the book in secret, There was no way she was going to be able to see the film, so I hand-wrote her a novelization in a spiral notebook.
