Berri's Couch

It's sad girl hours as we dive into one of the other pillars of this genre Jane Eyre and weigh in on the classic debate Darcy vs Rochester (one of the original Team Edward vs Team Jacob). Specifically the 2006 miniseries adaptation, what we liked, what we found funny despite the intended tone, and whether or not this has undone some Regency trauma in Bee.

Behold the most well known regency long form essay that could be ended if anyone had actually had a succinct conversation. Bee begins to visit her trauma relating to this era of writing and Jerri explains the fundamentals of this literature and why it can be difficult to absorb if you are not its intended audience.

We reach the end of Arthurian film adaptation with Guy Ritchie's.......attempt(?) at starting a new wave of Arthurian movies. Does it work? How do we feel about this as a film vs adaptation of Arthur? What are the rankings of this month's media? And finally which hurt us more Robin Hood adaptations or Arthur? It's a long one so put your feet up, get a drink and maybe a pillow to scream into.

It is here, the most Arthur movie to ever Arthur, while feeling like it was made on a bunch of cocaine. This movie is sufficiently 80's but how does it stand as an adaptation and what did we like? And why is that man wearing only gold?

From fanfic AU takes on Arthurian canon, some downright bad changes that should have just been its own I.P, to the right out of left field bug nutty decisions, we do a quick look at Arthur as he appears in episodic content. If you are a fan of Cursed you may want to sit this one out.

How does kids media handle the lofty burden of the Arthur and his adventures. We don't know but we found they accidentally reinforce a subtext across multiple forms and use not the original canon but books based on canon. And why does Bee call physics a philosophy?

While Bee suffers through her Victorian Lady Illness (sick symptoms but not infectious) we delve into the complicated mess that is what is that actual canon of the Arthur mythos and the problems changing it to screen, along with historical additions/removals to the stories.

We are finally at the end of this long descent into mediocrity and disrespect. I could be as lazy as this movie and just put buzzwords that don't connect but I can't manage that level of H&M clothes in scenes that don't belong. We drag this movie through this mud, rank the movies seen and a brief look into the process of what this month has done to us as viewers.

We're in the bad place people, we finally hit the beginning of the descend into "gritty realism" Robins. The accents are missing, the film gratuitous and the plot a mangled mess wishing for death. Why does this fail so bad as a Robin Hood join us through the prolonged torture and why this style does not suit this story at all.

Now we visit what is most people's first Robin Hood, what did Disney keep? What did they change? How does it compare to Errol Flynn? We continue how look through the pop culture Robin Hood to see how he went from random dude in the woods to what he is now.
