I've never finished any of Austen's books. I can't get into them and I keep thinking I should watch one of the films and see if that helps.
I'm a vision of hotliness, and how weird is that? Mystical comas. You know, if you can stand the horror of a higher power hijacking your mind and body so that it can give birth to itself, I really recommend 'em.

Buffista Movies 4: Straight to Video
A place to talk about movies--old and new, good and bad, high art and high cheese. It's the place to place your kittens on the award winners, gossip about upcoming fims and discuss DVD releases and extras. Spoiler policy: White font all plot-related discussion until a movie's been in wide release two weeks, and keep the major HSQ in white font until two weeks after the video/DVD release.

in costume history, I learned it as
Roccoco - - > Directiore/Empire -->Regency---> Civil War ---> Bustle --- Late Bustle---> Edwardian
I think. I have a feeling I am missing one between regency and civil war

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
So, what comes between Elizabethan and Georgian? And where does Samuel Richardson and "Clarissa" fall in? Are the Romantic Poets (Shelley, Keats et al.) from the Georgian era?
I could probably be looking this up myself, but I'm feeling lazy.
Going back to the new P&P, the wardrobes and the scenery from the trailer seemed distinctly Brontëfied, to quote Mr. Lane, all wild billowing skirts on some windswept heath-covered hill. I *think* there were some Empire waist dresses, but the square-neck heaving bosom-ness was less apparent.

Art Crawl!!!
The Baroque period is before Roccoco.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Here's the official film website (warning: it has music; un-warning: it's some pretty little possibly period pianoforte piece, not Collide). Most of the photos are close-ups of faces with an occasional glimpse of shoulder, but there is a scrap of costume info available if you select "Jane Bennet" from the Characters menu near the bottom of the screen. From Jane's page there's a link to a bunch of costume sketches. Which look pretty darn classically Regency (except Lady Catherine, whose costume looks older, but that's handwavey as "old cranky lady, still dressing as in her days of youth and glory").

Although Nutty's point about it not being 'real" is probably good because I doubt that it is set in the Rococo period (think Dangerous Liasons ish) and everything else is shadings of Regency/Empire

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
So, what comes between Elizabethan and Georgian?
The Restoration. King James. Pirates.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Time-traveling humanoid aliens from the future and their psychic cats.
