This is fun! I think everyone should do this.

You're welcome. ;-)

I've just discovered how to screencap, so I have a new toy!! :-D

Who played Rolfe?

How old are your brothers? Mine is 18, and he's always hungry. ;-) He can handle himself in the kitchen, but I try to do it for him mostly, because I feel mean. ;-)

Does Inkblots have any online articles I could sample?

Stepping Heavenward is definitely worth a re-read!!

As to your question, I didn't hate it, but I didn't care for it very much, either. There were too many things wrong with it; namely, the deviations from the novel, the sculpture gallery garbage, the costumes weren't as accurate as they should have been, and I do not like Keira Knightley, and Donald Sutherland is irritating and American. I am also convinced that Joe Wright has no respect for a literary adaptation, and he was so caught up in making things "pretty" or symbolic that he missed the whole point of the film. I did like some of the scenery, but after watching the commentary, they were discovered to be CGI, which spoilt it for me. ;-) I did think Tom Hollander made a great Mr. Collins, and I rather liked Rosamund Pike as Jane. What did you think of it?

Screencappng is rather addictive. I have hoards of them in my files to prove it. :) Have fuN!

One of my brothers, is just your brother's age...the other just became a teenager. Ah! I do most of the cooking, so then don't feel bad when they lend a hand now and then. :)

Christian Bale was Rolfe. Brilliant! :)


If I don't think of P&P as P&P...weird huh, it's sweet, clean and pretty. Kiera isn't my favorite either. I liked Darcy though! :) And you are right, Mr. Collins was brilliant, and Jane was beautiful and sweet in this version. =)

Have you read the book "Mother"?

Oh, yes!! Now I've got my brother doing it!! ;-) Our desktop wallpaper on the family computer now rotates between Jane Austen flicks and war movies....lol.

I do most of the cooking here, too, and all of the baking, which I don't do as much of as I used to, since we moved into a smaller house with a smaller kitchen.

How do you feel about cleaning whole chickens?? I used to think it was disgusting, but it's actually not as gross when you're the one doing it, versus watching someone else.

Keira is way too modern, plus I think she's too skinny. Her hair wasn't very period, either, and I resented the tomboy-ification of Lizzy's character. I thought the boiled potatoes line was priceless, as was the Collins-nearly-getting-brained-by-Darcy's-elbow routine. LOL!! I was pleasantly surprised at MM's Darcy -- he wasn't as bad as I thought he was going to be. ;-) You know who he's married to in real life?

I still prefer the '95 Firth/Ehle P&P hands down!!! Just watched it the other day (for the millionth time) in fact.

No, what is "Mother"? I've never heard of it, at least I don't think so.

Have you read Northanger Abbey, or seen the movie?
