I just watched 'Persuasion' on PBS... Apart of the the Big Jane Event. This is the second version of this story that I've seen and I am twice 'somewhat' unimpressed (I can't commit to being 'fully' unimpressed). The story is utterly fantastic but would somebody please make a modern, hollywoodistic version with attractive actors that win Emmys and that I actually know the names of? I know that sounds really uncultured-istic and un-British. But did you see that kissing scene? Horrid!
Next week... Northanger Abby!
Interestingly, right after that I watched (out of pure shameful curiosity)... 'Gossip Girl'. I went from, "Hi, I want to marry you now let's kiss for the first time" to "Thank Heavens I'm not pregnant. Both Chuck and Tony will be relieved. I mean, I am only 17". Let me tell you... that is a HORRIBLE HORRIBLE show. (but I cannot guarantee I won't watch it again... stupid addictive evil shows). On that note... this never would've happened if I wasn't a single mother of two this month. I miss you, Bryan. Keep those patients alive. (Jacksonville ICU rotation).

hahaha....i love gossip girl! it is a bit of a trashy show, but i can't help it!
I agree about Persuasion! I also watched it last night, and I wasn't very impressed. Especially with the kissing scene...it looked like she was trying to eat him. Ew! I did think that the actor who played Captain Wentworth was pretty good looking....but more for Soap Opera type show....not for the Jane Austin time period. Well, hopefully the show next week is better!
Oh don't even get me started on Gossip Girls. I thought I was the only person in the world who watched it. I watched it the first night it was on because James was working late that night...& haven't skipped an episode. I'll willingly admit that the guys are hot & I couldn't be more envious of Blair & Serena's outfits & hair. Killer. (PS. oh & it's Nate not Tony...).
I love that you love classics and trends all at the same time. I love Jane Austen stories. My all time favorite movie is Emma (with Gwyneth Paltrow), though, because I think Mr. Knightley looks like Phil. Can you say HOT?
I didn't like Northanger Abby...
Hey, whaddayaknow...Mr. Knightley *does* look like Phil!
