  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

question: would classic literature such as some dickens novels and other stuff have any success in todays market?

i watched a movie adaptation of one of these books recently and afterward wondered what in the world i had just got done viewing.

Two versions of Great Expectations are coming out this year. The one with Gillian Anderson was done by the BBC, and the other has Helena Bonham Carter and is being released in November I think. It remains to be seen his the film will do in theatres. And there is obviously a market because they keep remaking them.

The thing with film versions is that they are the director's/screen play writer's/etc interpretation of the original text. If you approach these things thinking this is someone else's retelling of the story you can overlook some of the discrepencies.

I love BBC and almost always love their versions of such stories, including their own original movies. But, the Gillian Anderson (whom I do love) version of 'Great Expectations' that just aired was awful I thought. I enjoyed the boy who played 'Pip' when he's young, but that was about it. My favorite version so far is still the black and white classic with John Mills.
