I did like the casting of Ehle, but I particularly liked the casting of Jane. It's enjoyable to think that ol' horse-face was the beauty of the neighborhood in P&P.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Ah, the early nineteenth century, when men loved dogs and horses...

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I htink it's a cultural thing. Jane had a serene face and that peaches and cream thing the English love. I often see women of that cast portraying "beauties" in English dramas and I never get it.

Kiss me, my girl, before I'm sick.
Susannah Harker has such a placid, period face. She also played the incredibly virtuous Methodist Dinah Morris in the adaptation of "Adam Bede".
She's very good as one of the leads in the "Ultraviolet" though, playing a very modern, poised and rather steely physician.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Substitute Tess of the D'Ubervilles for Wuthering Heights, and this is me.
Ack! Ack! Two books I hate!
I was so disappointed when I finally read Wuthering Heights. This is the romantic hero? This is the famed Heathcliff? He's a puppy-killing psychopath!
And I will spare everyone my Hardy tirade.

I was charmed (albeit somewhat perplexed) by the fannish sensibility of many of the music choices -- it's like the director was trying to vid Canada. --loligo on the Olympic Opening Ceremonies

I spent approximately two hours of my first viewing of the P&P miniseries trying to figure out where in God's name I knew Jane from. When I realized, I was rather startled. "Jane! You grew up to hunt vampires!"

Always Anti-fascist!
I still need to see that. Stringer's in it.

Hey. New board.
Actually, I pretty much hate all Hardy, but especially Jude the Obscure, after the reading of which I wanted to slit my own throat.
So did I, but I loved it. Huh.

In which she is stunningly attractive in a Scully-on-ice way.
