Okay, I updated the masterpost so check that out if you want lainahastoomuchsparetime.wordpress.com/anne-of-green-…
And now it's time to finish Project Green Gables Season 2 in today's #LainaWatchesAnne thread!
And now it's time to finish Project Green Gables Season 2 in today's #LainaWatchesAnne thread!
#LainaWatchesAnne This season only has 40 episodes so we'll finish episodes 31-40 today.
Interesting note, Anne of Green Gables has 38 chapters, Anne of Avonlea which this season is based on has only 30, and Anne of the Island has 41.

#LainaWatchesAnne Personally I do think that makes Avonlea's chapters feel a bit overly long.
But back to the show. Episode 31 is a Matthew tribute episode as Anne visits his grave.

Well, it's been a bit longer than I said it would be, but we've got two more #LainaWatchesAnne threads to wrap up Project Green Gables season 2. Today we've got episodes 21-30 and then Thursday we'll finish the series.
#LainaWatchesAnne I hope you all aren't too confused about this - I'm trying to do book, then relevant adaptation, book, adaptation, whenever possible and that does mean we're jumping around between serieses sometimes.
#LainaWatchesAnne Just remember you can either check my masterthreads or my blog (...which I will update shortly) if you need to refresh yourself on anything.

Okay, #LainaWatchesAnne time!! Today we'll be looking at episodes 11-20 of Project Green Gables, season two. Y'all ready?
#LainaWatchesAnne Episode 11 is another "Chatting with Gilbert" episode and the audio was awful. I honestly couldn't hear most of it because it was filmed in a coffee shop and they're just using the in-camera mic, and it picks up ALL the background noise.
#LainaWatchesAnne Luckily there are subtitles because I would have not gotten a THING from this.
Gilbert uses the term "first year" to refer to the students they're tutoring, which is also a thing we don't say in Canada, lol.

Okay, it's not a holiday in Canada so how about a #LainaWatchesAnne thread? We're looking at Project Green Gables season one, episodes 21-30 today (plus a bonus episode).
#LainaWatchesAnne Our first episode is about Anne breaking her legs and props to them for this fake cast. It's pretty good for what they were probably working with. 
#LainaWatchesAnne Starts about how you expect, party at Diana's, with Josie Pye teasing Anne about liking Gilbert and then bringing up her hair.
And then she called Diana's mother a bitch, and accused Diana's father, who has to travel a lot for work, of having an affair.

What do y'all think of doing a little #LainaWatchesAnne thread?
I did a thread on this adaptation's first 10 episodes which you can check out here if you need to catch up. lainahastoomuchsparetime.wordpress.com/2021/06/04/ann…

Turns out, though, Project Green Gables is actually the adaptation to adapt Anne of Avonlea alone. Every other adaptation combines it with Anne of the Island and/or Anne of Windy Poplars, or skips it completely.
So let's do a short recap of the first season to catch up!

#LainaWatchesAnne As a reminder, this version has Anne be a foster kid. Anne's red hair is now natural hair, and puffed sleeves are now a sleeveless dress.
Anne has made friends with Diana and gone to her first party at Charlie Sloane's house (instead of a church picnic).

#LainaWatchesAnne Oscar Wilde once said, "We are each our own devil, and we make this world our hell."
So 2016 Anne had a sequel released February 20th, 2016, a year after the first movie came out. Let's just do this.

#LainaWatchesAnne I don't think it was released theatrically, but I have no background information because no one cares. It doesn't even have its own wikipedia page.
And why is it called Anne of Green Gables: The Good Stars?No clue. The movie never explains it.

#LainaWatchesAnne It's certainly not something from the book. I got nothin' here.
I guess "2 Green 2 Gables" was taken already.

Alright, after Tuesday's wild thread, are we ready for another round of #LainaWatchesAnne?
#LainaWatchesAnne This thread is going to be a little different as the state of musicals means I don't have access to a lot of what I'll be talking about.
Hence why today, we're talking more about Anne and musicals in general than one specific one.

#LainaWatchesAnne To start, let's talk about what I'm calling, for clarity's sake, the Charlottetown Festival musical.
Okay, I took a week off because I needed it, but we're back! Are y'all ready for #LainaWatchesAnne?
#LainaWatchesAnne So this is a weird one. Um. I kind of don't know what to say.
Background, we'll start there. There's not a ton of information out there. This isn't lost media or anything - you can get this on DVD easily - I just don't think most people. You know. Care.

#LainaWatchesAnne After the 1985 mini-series, Sullivan Entertainment released two sequels and a prequel which we will totally talk about later.
Things have been kind of done, and I have a snack and a drink, so are you ready for today's #LainaWatchesAnne thread???
#LainaWatchesAnne Last time, we discussed some of how Anne is seen in Japan in general, from the perspective of someone who googled a bunch of stuff but is by no means an expert.
And today, before getting into the actual episode, we have a little more backstory.

#LainaWatchesAnne I promise, it's pretty interesting.
Okay, we've got a cool entry on the #LainaWatchesAnne front today!
SOMEHOW and honestly I don't know how because my adaptation choices have not gone in any order but "I want to talk about them" @fromankyra guessed correctly and we will be talking about the anime series today!

#LainaWatchesAnne Congratulations, you get a... whatever I promised in my tweet. Star sticker maybe?
#LainaWatchesAnne So, welcome to the Akage no An thread!
This one should be fairly short and I've got a few minutes to kill, so how about a quick bonus #LainaWatchesAnne thread?
This one is about the mini-series' fashion choices, which is always super fun.

#LainaWatchesAnne I have previously talked about the fashion and the timeline of the book in other threads and I will update the masterpost on my blog with those after this XD lainahastoomuchsparetime.wordpress.com/anne-of-green-…
#LainaWatchesAnne But to sum up, because of the date of John A. MacDonald's death, and me inferring that he's the Premier Marilla goes to see speak as Montgomery actually met him, I think Anne comes to Green Gables between 1889 and 1891.
Okay, so I have been slightly encouraged so I think we'll do our #LainaWatchesAnne thread today. Reminder that I use that hashtag in every tweet so you can mute it if you don't want to read my tweets today. Obviously there's KIND OF A LOT going on today.
#LainaWatchesAnne But today we're actually going to hit the end of the mini-series!
Anne's home!
She and Diana continue to look like a queer cottagecore tumblr moodboard while taking a walk.

#LainaWatchesAnne Diana tells Anne that Gilbert will be getting the Avonlea school as his father can't afford to send him to college. He plans to earn his way through college teaching. Good for you, Gil.
Okay, now that I've remembered where I was, are we all ready for the next #LainaWatchesAnne thread??
#LainaWatchesAnne Check out this shot of the store!
#LainaWatchesAnne Anne is wearing a very sharp outfit herself here, the plaid, and is buying some fabric for the White Sands Hotel concert.
And it IS white organdy, nice!

I was tired and cranky on Tuesday so I didn't do a thread. I'm tired today too, but in less of a way that I feel like I'm going to murder someone, so let's do a #LainaWatchesAnne thread!
#LainaWatchesAnne We open on Anne, Diana, and two girls who have not been given names so far. Runtime limitations really take away from Anne's relationships with other girls who aren't Diana.
Good if you ship Anne/Diana (and don't we all) but I think it's a bit of a shame.

#LainaWatchesAnne The book really shows that Anne is a very friendly, popular girl who gets along well with other girls except Josie Pye. From a girl whose only friend was her own reflection, that's a big deal. Just a bit of shame we don't see that as much.
IT'S THURSDAY SO YOU KNOW WHAT TIME IT IS!
Do you know what time it is? It's okay, time isn't real. But it IS time for another #LainaWatchesAnne thread!

#LainaWatchesAnne If you'll remember, when last we met, Anne was on her way to the Christmas ball! Time to party!
Man, look at the dress on this random extra, though. The sleeves are beautiful and there's so much structure and detail.

#LainaWatchesAnne I actually don't think Anne or Diana's dresses really read as evening formal wear. It was totally acceptable to have cleavage in the evening.
I mean, they are young, but... meh? They look off.
They also both have VERY 80s hair in this scene, lol.

IT'S TUESDAY SO GUESS WHAT TIME IT IS???
Time for another #LainaWatchesAnne thread! We are moving on to part 2 of the mini-series today! I'm using a lot of exclamation marks because I slept horribly last night!

#LainaWatchesAnne Anyways, like I said, we've entered part 2 of the mini-series and time has passed. It's a bit unclear, but Anne has this nice sweater and Diana has new friends.
Traitor.
Traitor.
#LainaWatchesAnne No, they both look quite sad.
But happily for us, it's time to say hello to Miss Stacey!

Okay, ready for today's #LainaWatchesAnne thread? It's the last part of Part 1 of the mini-series and has a particularly memorable part in it for any of you who have seen this at any point, I think.
If you remember from last Tuesday, Phillips is leaving so his goodbye party (not in the book) is replacing Diana's birthday party. Still a party, not a huge deal obviously, but you know.
I just hate Mr. Phillips so much XD

#LainaWatchesAnne Anyways, we're at the party and Josie hops up to walk on the fence. Which is not particularly impressive looking, tbh.
Today's #LainaReadsAnne thread is going to be a little shorter because if I combined this and the next one, it'd be massive and way too long.
But it's still going to be fun!
But it's still going to be fun!
#LainaReadsAnne So now we're in school!
#LainaReadsAnne Anne introduces herself to Mr. Phillips and there's this great shot of her where Gilbert is just mooning after her. And it's just completely in the background and not the focus, but really cute.
Are we ready for another #LainaWatchesAnne thread?
Before we start, just a small reminder that I have recapped the book and a movie previously so sometimes there may be things I've already discussed lainahastoomuchsparetime.wordpress.com/anne-of-green-…

#LainaWatchesAnne Let's get started on more of the 1985 mini-series!
We open on Matthew and Marilla in the barn as he feeds a baby cow and it's absolutely adorable

#LainaWatchesAnne Marilla recaps what happened in the last scene for Matthew, KEEPING her line about not giving a dog she liked to Mrs. Blewett which I am delighted about, and basically talks herself into keeping Anne without Matthew saying much of anything.
Okay! I think it's FINALLY time to get back into this!
So, remember last year when I started my project to read and analyze LM Montgomery's catalogue and the adaptations based on those works but then I had a hard summer and then the holidays happened and then I broke my spine?

Alright, it's time for our fourth and final thread on the 1934 Anne of Green Gable movie. Y'all ready? #LainaWatchesAnne
#LainaWatchesAnne So when last we left Anne, she'd almost drowned and then decided to forgive Gilbert Blythe because he saved her life and the movie basically forgot the book existed. We also learned a year had passed since the hayride. The time passage was SUPER clear.
#LainaWatchesAnne By the way, we're a bit over an hour into the movie, which is an hour and eighteen minutes long. Are you... sensing a problem here?
Ready for our third 1934 #LainaWatchesAnne thread? Today's gonna be a doozy.
#LainaWatchesAnne The day after the slate smashing, Anne is churning butter outside by the tree bench where Diana is sitting and making I think a beaded necklace or bracelet. It's a bit hard to see.
#LainaWatchesAnne Diana says she should have told Anne that Marilla didn't like Gilbert and that it's not his fault.
Brace yourself for this one because I don't think you're ready for it.
Brace yourself for this one because I don't think you're ready for it.
Alright, I've got a bit of time before I need to go do a thing, so how about our second #LainaWatchesAnne thread?
#LainaWatchesAnne So it is the next morning, and Anne is picking at her breakfast. Props that they do show here Anne having trouble eating when she's so anxious about Marilla not letting her stay, and having Marilla be concerned about it.
#LainaWatchesAnne Marilla tells Anne to go wash up as Mrs Barry is coming up the path.
Reminder that Mrs Barry and Rachel Lynde have been combined into the same person in this. Still weird.

Are you all ready to do something fun? We are going to be talking about an Anne of Green Gables adaptation today. #LainaWatchesAnne
The 1934 Anne of Green Gables by RKO Radio Pictures!

#LainaWatchesAnne But first some history.
The first Anne of Green Gables adaptation was a silent black and white film starring Mary Miles Minter who honestly seems like she was a super interesting person. Her wikipedia page was really neat to read.
