I am still in Idaho on my In-law's couch. In about two minutes I will be starting the first DVD of Pride & Prejudice with Jennifer Ehle.
I have in other times been quite loud about my dislike of Kiera Knightly's Lizzie Bennet due to the fact that Lizzie absolutely needs cleavage. I use the word need because I mean it.
Jane Eyre doesn't need cleavage.
Emma Woodhouse doesn't need cleavage.
Anne of Green Gables doesn't need cleavage.
But Elizabeth needs to heave it while she is running around being witty and suprised.
If anyone feels inclined to challenge me on this I must remind you to read your morning paper. Some Russian spy was poisoned with a high dose of radioactive substance and he is blaming Putin. In otherwords, there are more important things to stew about.
(Besides I am right.)
Now, if you will excuse me, I gots to do what I gots to do, baby.
21 Pieces of Opinion:
My wife's all thyme favorite movie...the Lord of the Rings extended edition length equivilant [with Jennifer Ehle].
I can only sit through disc two.
My biggest hang-up with the later [shorter] version is me-no-likey the cimatography.
enjoy your stay in Idaho, being pampered on the in-laws couch.
And I thought you were coming home to dear old dad....
Enjoy the movie time on the couch.
I was unaware of the cleavage factor. Let it be done.
Yeah for Idaho, my future place of residence. If only it could be on my in-laws couch. Just kidding!
miss you
i have the biggest lips and boobs
No one does cleavage heaving like Jane Seymore (see-more?) in "The Scarlet Pimpernel." ]
Sink me!
I brought the six hour Mr. Darcy-fest to the hospital for the birth of one of my kids, and had the every nurse in the whole mother/baby unit crying and watching in my room with me.
Rock on cleavage.
mThe proper word, my dears, is bosoms. Cleavage doesn't heave. Bosoms do.
I watched the whole thing for about the fiftieth time this week as well. How I wish I could rewind my brain and watch it anew for the first time!
Shall we have a quote war? Who says, "I don't particularly like your way of getting a husband"?
Apparently Geo on Bright Street also doesn't need cleavage.
Just a little tid-bit....DId you know that Emma Thompson, who wrote the screenplay for "EMMA" the movie, cast her real life mother and sister to play the roles of Mrs. Bates and Miss Bates. WHO KNEW! I love Emma!
"...well, everybody has their level..."
NieNie, I don't know you well at all, but is it possible for someone to have bigger bossoms than cjane?
Nursing?
Yes.
Otherwise?
No.
Darlene,
I am guessing it's Lizzie to that naughty Lydia.
My daughter is named after Eliza Bennett...........
I also might be the only person on earth that LIKED the remake......
I only have the BBC version on video (it was my very first Christmas gift from my husband..) time to upgrade. That is always my "deep cleaning project" video... I did the garage this weekend and could have used it....
When I lived in Manchester, we lived on the grounds of the home they used for Pemberly. In the wide shot, they used the historic Chatsworth home, but for the close up stuff, it was an old home in Manchester...we lived in the gardener's cottage. Not as cool as it sounded. Trust me. BUT, we did get to drive by that pond every day where Darcy dives in....
Bek, I've been calling your daughter by the wrong name all this time? Next time I see you I'm totally rubbing elbows with you - seriously. The pond Mr. Darcy was in... iee yiee yiee! And I, too, LOVE the shorter version for it's (sorry Lyle) cinematography and lack of bosom's. I was leary of the latest version because Kiera just doesn't do it for me (although I'm glad she doesn't have to throw around cleavage to get attention) and when the Mr. Darcy appeared on screen it was irritating that he wasn't Colin Firth. Colin sure did a fabulous job and is absolutely #1 as Darcy. However, by mid-movie I was sold on the newest Darcy (although not enough to replace Colin) and felt he did a spankin' job filling the shoes. I think I've tried the BBC version but prefer the Colin one better. You're entitled to your opinions, Miss CJane, and I love you in spite of our disagreements :o)
Why is it us women with cleavage are always being accused of throwing "around cleavage to get attention"? Some of us NATURALLY BORN bosomed women deserve to have a heroine, albeit a fictional character, who has bosoms resulting in cleavage.
Who else is there if not Elizabeth Bennet?
Although I hated Keira, I have to say that the guy who played Mr. Bennett in the new one was fabulous. I thought he should have had an Oscar. That scene where he finds Mary and hugs her--it was really touching to me.
Oh me too, Donald Sutherland. So good.
In the new movie also liked Lady Catherine (Judy Dench), Mr. Bingley, Jane Bennet and Charlotte better.
But Kiera's short haircut kept poking out from underneath her wig.
Very bad.
I really need to see this movie (these movies?)!!
Amen, Justine, on the wig.
The newer and shorter version will forever be tainted to me because of all of the cooing and ah-ing going on in the theatre when I saw it. It was almost enough to make me sign off of P&P altogether. Except, I do LOVE the A&E one.
I have a serious problem with Kiera's one-size-fits-all pout face. She is flinging that lip around as if she learned her looks from Zoolander. At first I was quite dissappointed with the new version. But I bought it anyway and have learned to enjoy it when I just need the quick highlights.
