Then suddenly, about halfway through the movie, I considered her to be one of the handsomest women of my acquaintance. <br /><br />My favorite part of Bride and Prejudice is when Sayid from Lost breaks out into the MC Hammer dance, and then does that under-the-armpit-fart move. Hilarious! See here:<br /> http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PoLtHqS_LhA<br /><br />Anyway, hurry and read Persuasion, so you can watch that movie.

No question. I just don't think they captured the characters as they could have. There just wasn't time I suppose. But the worst part was how unattractive Darcy was to me. I couldn't get over it. I kept expecting him to "grow on me" like E.T. does (he's adorable by the end!) and it just never happened. <br /><br />Is the 1940s one good? Or do I just need to watch it because I need to watch it? Either way, I'll probably be watching it.<br /><br />Hey, Mikey, what'd you think of the rain scene? ::snicker::<br /><br />MM, I was going to come up with my dream P&P movie mixing the two but forgot. Thanks for reminding me because I completely agree.<br /><br />AV, I got smarter writing that. No question. :)<br /><br />Annalisa, did you find it? I'm sad for the person who has a hankering for some Colin Firth as Mr. Darcy only to find out it's in storage. Please tell me it's currently in your DVD player.Elder Jack Andersonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11924286045304124585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8806772368713043472.post-70567558400921393972011-03-01T20:54:42.445-07:002011-03-01T20:54:42.445-07:00Love the audio book.

KK=lameness.<br /><br />I love you. <br /><br />Also, I still think you should see the Sir Laurence Olivier version because they play the oboe every time Mr. Collins comes on. Hilarious.<br /><br />And Jennifer Ehle is not pretty until her charm won you over Markie? THAT is why women love the story. Finally a story where a woman's wit actually matters.Flemhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15362896776800489868noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8806772368713043472.post-68628433699600777082011-03-01T17:21:37.468-07:002011-03-01T17:21:37.468-07:00Lots of good points.

It IS true to the book and I'd recommend it to anyone who wants to get the whole story, but doesn't like to read.<br />I can't really speak to CF's "knuckle-biting hotness"... he doesn't really do anything for me; but I may have a slight man crush on KK's Darcy. Maybe it's just jealousy over the fact that he gets to tap that. Also my wife thinks KK's Darcy is hot, and she knows a thing or two about hot men... cuz... you know... she married me.<br />BBC Elizabeth is not very attractive - at least at first site. But her charm won me over by the end.<br />I completely disagree about KK herself of course. She's not only hotness defined, but she owned that role. I also thought Sutherland was funny, and Mr. Collins also nailed it.<br />The BBC is also frankly just too long to want to sit down and watch the whole thing, and I don't like watching movies in installments. In terms of authenticity and trueness to story BBC wins. In terms of sheer entertainment KK wins. If only KK were starring in the new Jane Eyre movie coming out this month. I ardently adore her.Markie23https://www.blogger.com/profile/14868471662980889975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8806772368713043472.post-78668088933710200242011-03-01T10:02:26.853-07:002011-03-01T10:02:26.853-07:00By the way, if you're wanting to watch all of ...By the way, if you're wanting to watch all of the versions, there's also a 1940 version with Greer Garson and Laurence Olivier: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0032943/Jennyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17998231733670265420noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8806772368713043472.post-27736343472182345162011-03-01T09:42:22.687-07:002011-03-01T09:42:22.687-07:00i do not have time to comment now. i am at work, y...i do not have time to comment now. i am at work, you know. but i cannot ignore the compulsion.<br /><br />i like the rain scene in the KK version. i also like the balls. i don't like the scene at the end where she goes to tell her dad she loves darcy. it's forced and dumb. i think sutherland does a good job with it, though. not that that makes it a good scene.<br /><br />yes, jane was at least beautiful in the kk version. or the bbc version is trying to teach us something about how beauty was defined back when.<br /><br />everything you say about the bbc version is spot on.<br /><br />you might have enjoyed the kk version more if you'd watched it as a single woman of 30 years accompanied by 5 other 20-something single women. none of us claimed it was true to the book. but we could not deny that it made our lonely hearts pitter patter. especially the rain scene, but i already said that. i'm sure it was the cinematography and sets that did us in.michelangelohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16949155432544986204noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8806772368713043472.post-79343938153978749882011-03-01T05:22:40.931-07:002011-03-01T05:22:40.931-07:00You've got me wanting to watch it again.

You would have been very good at it. Where were you when I needed you? I think my movers maybe put this in storage...going to check now. I'm just glad it lived up to how I remember it.
