Sense and Sensibility

aka The Ultimate Chick Flick.

I finally tried reading some Austen. Got impatient and settled to watch the film.

How can you hate a film that, once you ignore Hugh Grant and the ladies, is simply so divinely pretty to look at? You are given such joyful sights as Alan Rickman sweeping to the rescue on horseback. You get Greg Wise looking not unattractive. And, just when you thought it couldn't improve, you are treated to the lickable scene of a rumpled Hugh Laurie coming to the door in his bedshirt. *sigh*

I'm happy now =)

What time would be good for you? I can probably make it to Hillingdon/Centre of town for about 12/1pm-ish?

ugh, I hate Austen, I don't think I even got half way through Pride and Prejudice before deciding it was bollocks, loved the BBC series though, or maybe it was just Mr Darcy coming out of the lake......

I'm definately a Bronte girl.

I tried some Bronte. Wuthering Heights was alright, except I hated each and every character, especially the woman who I think we were supposed to be rooting for.

Austen is marginally better, although it could be just that I am picturing Rickman, Laurie et al. in my head as I read :)

SO glad to see you're reading Austen. The flims are good, but the books, oh the gorgeous of her prose... Alan Rickman makes my heart wobble in this film. So very beautifully broken. Yummy.

And see my lovely Frog and Toad icon! I'm happy too, though much geekier, methinks.

*pets your icon*

It is very pretty and cute :) Austen is okay so far, I'll keep on going and see how it all pans out.
