Pride and Prejudice

I'm glad I'm comfortable enough in my own sexuality to say the following:

Jane Austen rules!

Austen was quite a writer, but I'm so glad I didn't live in her world.

Well said!

I wasn't all that impressed with her writing style, and I definatly wasn't impressed with the A&E movie release.

I also hated having to re-write Goldilocks & The 3 Bears in her writing style.........Just my opinion that she wasn't all she was portrayed to be.

Goldilocks or Jane Austen?

I'm still hard-pressed to see how the new movie is going to be as good as the A&E miniseries from a few years ago. But yeah, WOO Austen!

I haven't seen the A&E version; I should rent it sometime. The movie wasn't particularly amazing, as a movie, but I think it did an excellent job of capturing everything about the book that I loved -- all my favorite lines were there, well delivered. There is some wonderful, very subtle acting between the two leads. And, of course, Keira Knightley is teh hawtness.

The A&E was fantastic, and also had all those great lines well delivered. And, of course, Colin Firth is teh hawt-hawtness.

Yes, Keira Knightley is a hottie. She looks even better in rain-soaked period dresses than in tightly bound straps of leather.

I've never read any of Austen's stuff, so have no opinion on her writing. The movie was acceptable post-T-day feast diversion with my baby sis. It was the only movie we both hadn't seen, was scheduled when we could make it, and were both vaguely interested in seeing.

It did remind me of why we don't let teenage girls get married anymore. (Usually.)
