I'm not sure how old he is, but I heard him use the word 'newfangled' one time, so he's gotta be pretty far gone.

So I watched Sense and Sensibility, and I never read the book, and I have a couple of questions:
- Did Austen mean to imply that Marianne slept with Willoughby, or was that a liberty taken by the filmmakers?
- Is it also implied that Marianne caught a disease from Willoughby, or is that purely a figment of my imagination?

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Timelies, all.
Ouch, sarameg. Clearly you need to look for wall-to-wall bubble wrap wallpaper in that house you're looking for, right?
I still hate ita's headaches and wish they would just fuck off and go away forever, but at least eliminating the misery of the stupid horrible days and nights in the ER battling over long-established meds is definitely a good good thing.
My dad used to take my brothers and me to a Denny's around the corner from his office on Saturday afternoons; I was always fascinated by the lounge, a dingy smoke-filled red-lit room off to one side behind old-fashioned Wild West swinging double doors. Such an illicit place where grown-ups might do any number of grown-up things (though in fact I think it mostly contained weary truckers and grumpy warehouse managers from the businesses along the docks).
And now I think I have to register for Yelp.com, because my college diner only has one review, and it's a grudgingly bestowed two stars, which is so unjust.
Tom, which version did you see? From my relatively recent reading, I'd say (1) liberty and (2) figment or further liberty.

I don't think so, as that would have been a HUGE deal. When Lydia runs off with Wickham in Pride and Prejudice, everyone fears that she's not only ruined her own reputation, but also ruined the marriage chances of her sisters.
Is it also implied that Marianne caught a disease from Willoughby, or is that purely a figment of my imagination?
I think that one's just you.

Tom, which version did you see?
The one that just aired on Masterpiece Theater.

Ah, I haven't seen that one, so I don't know what they might have added. But, yeah, if they implied that Marianne slept with Willoughby, that would be a breathtaking liberty.

No, I don't think I will - me, quoting Captain Steve Rogers, to all of 2020

YouTube is blocked for me at work now. Which in this instance, is probably a blessing.

probably so, it is theme song for the latest incarnation of the Power Rangers - Power Rangers: Jungle Fury.
