thoughts spurred by new BBC Emma!

[lettered]

One day, I'd like to post about these things:

1) The lecture I heard once on how Emma is a maturation of Sense and Sensibility.
2) The Gwenyth Paltrow Emma versus the Kate Beckinsale one (*waves flag for latter*)
3) How girls in period costume with modern accoutrement make me feel funny (a la here:
)
4) Whether Romola Garai looks like Katee Sackhoff, a la the great Connor // Jackson Browne debate.
5) How I miss good old days at Republic of Pemberley.
6) Me and Jane Austen! In particular: Emma
7) My hopes for the new BBC Emma, inspired via this picspam!

Girls in period costumes with modern accoutrements make me think of Maggie Jacobs on Extras.

She looks WAYYY more like a wee Katie Sackhoff than Kartheiser ever remotely resembled Jackson Browne.

Oh, wow! Thanks for posting this! I'm guessing Romola Garai is Emma? I really like her. In fact, I like her loads better than Gwyneth Paltrow and Kate Beckinsale. I saw her playing Cordelia in the Ian McKellen King Lear on PBS's Great Performances a few weeks ago, and she was very good. Looking at her imdb... apparently she was in a version of I Capture the Castle in 2003? How have I never seen that?

Ooh, I didn't know there was a new BBC Emma! I'll have to find a way to watch.

this is kinda off topic... but number 2 made me think of this (2) The Gwenyth Paltrow Emma versus the Kate Beckinsale one (*waves flag for latter*))

did you every watch Much Ado About Nothing? whenever i hear Kate's name, that is always one of the first things i think about. plus it always makes me giggle a little to see so many big name actors in it... it's rather enjoyable! and... though not the Emma you are talking about... gotta love Emma Thompson in it... her speech at the end to Benedick about killing someone for her... gah!

I think it's interesting that you want to do a post about you and Austen that is particularly about Emma.

But I will watch this with you!

Republic of Pemberley!

I remember surfing that in college under the guise of researching Jane Austen. LOL I swear that's the only place to find Colonel Brandon pr0n.

Hey! Just thought of you this evening, and realized I hadn't seen you post in an age. I hope you're well. ♥
