So the book is always better than the movie but since I finished War and Peace, I've decided to see just how much worse the film adaptions can be. From the 1956 trailer, the many War and Peace movies look so bad they're good. Being alone I control the queue so I think the next week or two I will be on a War and Peace binge. I also can't wait to rewatch Love and Death.
Thanks to Youtube, I found out there is a 2007 miniseries adaption, 395 minutes long, that looks pretty awesome. But it was only released in Europe. Netflix doesn't have it. Amazon doesn't sell it. Most of the youtube videos are in French. These I watch and pretend I am being productive by exposing myself to another language but I really only understand if they say Escusez moi or Je suis ... but nothing after the Je suis. I just know they are something. But Pierre looks a lot like Jermaine Clement from Flight of the Conchords which is pretty entertaining.
So if you happen to be in Europe and want to pick up the miniseries for me I'll reimburse you and you can be my favorite person for the month.

Did Dave ever talk to you or Aaron? We picked this up, as I was reading War and Peace too, fancy that. Anyway, we are going to watch it and then if you can find a way to play it there, you are welcome to it.
