Okay, I just have to say... I really like the last question in your poll! There are a few that would fit me, but I've always thought that I am most like Belle, an dso I chose "I want adventure in the great wide somewhere; I want it more than I can tell." So true! Okay, sorry for the incoherent sentences. I just love Disney films too much for my own good. =) Um, and if you haven't seen it, you should see the 1995 BBC version of Pride and Prejudice because it is AMAZING. It's probably not on Netflix, but still. Colin Firth is SO SEXY and Jennifer Ehle ROCKS AS ELIZABETH BENNET. Yeah. =)
And it's definitely on netflix. I remember back in the day, before netflix, before Colin Firth was popular in America, before Jane Austen had a resurgence, before Best Buy sold a lot of videos...I had to buy P&P for $65 special order! I hadn't even seen it yet, but I loved me my Jane Austen ever so...she was my first fandom.
Ooops, I should have known that you had seen it! The reason why I mentioned it is that I watched it for the first time ever last Monday. I was sick, and I watched it for 8 hours straight (or however long it actually is). And from there I concluded that mistful's icon about Elizabeth Bennet = so true. =) The only other movie adaptations of Jane Austen I've seen are Sense and Sensability (with Hugh Grant and Alan Rickman), the newest version of Pride and Prejudice (with Kiera Knightly), and Bride and Prejudice. So I haven't really seen that many. In fact, the only novel of Austen's that I've ever read is Pride and Prejudice (which I loved, of course). So it looks like I have some catching up to do. =)
Well, there's a lot of people who just love P&P and they can take or leave the rest of Austen and the movie adaptations. But I'm a big fan of S&S and Persuasion and sometimes Emma. I love the Emma Thompson S&S, and the Kate Beckinsale version of Emma. I haven't really seen a movie adaptation of Persuasion I love, which is too bad.
Didn't PBS do a TV version of Persuasion relatively recently- like a few months ago? Did you watch it? OH, I forgot that I also watched "The Jane Austen Book Club," and I thought it was okay, but I didn't really care for it. I wonder if I had read more Jane Austen if I would have liked it more? I really would like to read Sense and Sensability at some point. It's on my list of like a gazillion books that I want to read. So, yeah. =P
