'Beneath You'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
With watching Persuasion, I forgot all about the Golden Globes. Must go and see who won.
There were parts of this production of Persusaion that I liked, but I think it didn't overcome my attachment to the Ciarain Hinds/Amanda Root version. Besides, I hate it when they forget that Jane Austen has humor in it.
Mmm, tivo is recording Persuasion RIGHT NOW! Very much looking forward to it.

I felt like we had little subtext and everything was so very very spoken.
I really loved the portrayal of sister Mary. And ASH was wonderful.
But the running, running, running, running, running, running, running, running, running, ki..............................................ss was painful.
Enjoy it Burrell, a lot of it was lovely and I, too, may be too attached to the 1995 version.
I cringed at the kiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiis, but I loved that she was gasping and panting all through the big emo scene.
I was so happy that the two of them in the cafe in bath before the cousin burst in was the torment it ought to be.
those two really need to learn to not have important discussions right in front of doors. that foiled them about nineteen times
Has anyone read the book? Does she sail of on a ship in the end?
I read the book at least twice, so I have no fear of the whitefont. No worries.
So far my only complaint is that Anne looks directly at the camera too much. It's starting to feel like shtick. But I do like how well the capture the deliciousness of the angst and the brief but meaningful touches and looks.
Feh. I can't find out if my school is cancelled or not. I'll call after 8:30 (when it formally opens) and find out for sure.
ETA: I emailed the instructor, and we're DEFINITELY closed, so yay on not having to do a hairy and long commute.
Are most schools closed? I heard it mentioned on my morning commute that Boston was closing schools.
eta: sometimes other schools will tie there policy to the public schools
Laura, I finally had to email the instructor to find out. Clearly, their communication policy needs some working on. Yes, just about all public schools are closed around here and most colleges, too. After the commute-from-hell last month I think that the authorities will be more likely to err on the side of caution.
In the meantime, I'll get a Snow Day, and can cuddle up with cats, TV, knitting, playing with Photoshop and programming and whatnot.
