  Love it, personally the originals for me are boring as shit, I had this one girl try and get me to watch pride and prejudice I just couldn't do it. The new adaptations I loved something different and funny.

  Quoting 'Dirtyandfriendly' Love it, personally the originals for me are boring as shit, I had this one girl try and get me to watch pride and prejudice I just couldn't do it. The new adaptations I loved something different and funny. did she try with the BBC brilliance, or the Kiera Knightley abomination? The former is very funny, the latter, not so.

  I couldn't read Pride and Prejudice the text was too highfalutin and convoluted....whilst I enjoyed the movie I don't think it would've matched the book. The movie versions never do. I'm with you SOTL & Dirtyandfriendly The Originals sucked. I know it's hard to do a book in 90mins BUT if it were done well cinematically I'd happily sit and watch upwards of 120mins for a great reproduction. Kingdom of Heaven adapted from Sir Walter Scott's book The Talisman, great story!!

  Quoting 'On_Safari' I'm with you SOTL & Dirtyandfriendly The Originals sucked. lol did you miss the bit about "former" and "latter" ? I'm a staunch Jennifer Ehle and Firth fan, the BBC nailed it with that version - it always gives me happy thoughts indeed (like shelves in a closet) "Shelves in the closet... happy thought indeed"

  A huge fan of Janes..she was a keen observer of the human condition.A pricker of pomposity and pretension ,that's why she is still relevant today...Clueless was a retelling of Emma . The BBC version of Pride and Predjudice ,all five hours of it,did indeed nail it. But my favourite Jane is Persuasion,much darker and deeper than P&P. Q
