So far in the Men's final I can say with authority that Federer has prettier hair. No verdict on the rest yet.
They're only just showing it there? Or did you record it to watch at a sane hour?
Early: You folks are all insane. Simon: Well, my sister's a ship. We had a complicated childhood.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Brenda, you've traveled a lot, right? Something in there should work.

God, yes. That was a great bit.
Holy hell yeah. Thank god I'm not the only one just wibbling over that. I can't emphasize that enough. I think I squeaked. Despite seeing it in preview earlier.
I've seen two other versions of JE, and I think I like this one best. But it's been a while since I've seen the others. This Jane I thought awfully pretty, but unconventionally so, and I was able to give her pass on that.

Because books.
God, yes. That was a great bit.
Oh my, yes. And Toby Stephens has a dedicated new fan here.
My only quibble is the ending. That was a bit ... impossibly fairy tale for me, especially since the book ends in a perfectly lovely way as it is. I got they were tying it in to her childhood, but although I think the book did emphasize Jane's sadness at her lack of a family, it wasn't the whole point to me. So that bugged.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there
Hmm. I've been an official election observer in Mexico. And I've been a lot of places.
Okay, I should be able to get this together. It's hard because I am so new, you know? There's so much (internal) pressure to make an impression, and at the same time people don't know me so they don't know that I'm not..., I don't know. I want things to be interesting but I don't want to be all, oh, I'm so cool...also, I maybe need to get over some of this self-deprecating shit.

Is this JE replaying?
Also, they changed the ending? How so?

There was a really fantastic flashback that just...ummm.
I kept thinking in that section. "His hands are HUGE!...They're the size of her head...I wonder if Steph is watching this."

But wait, doesn't he - okay, maybe only one.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Recorded and watching during a down spell. Although I'm having a migraine, and the match is so cool that relaxation is hard.
Federer also looks like he has the softest skin.
That is how I calm myself.
Not working too well.

Yeah, I thought so too, and it seemed especially weird since it was a fairly dark portrayal otherwise.
