So I suppose that's one adaptation that I don't like. But the new one is wonderful! Felicity Jones is so cute and does a great job. I've definitely watched that one multiple times! :D<br /><br />I'm quite fond of both versions of S&S. And have you seen pictures of Greg Wise today? He has aged <i>very</i> well! :PKarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09590701834142754842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5087298869735390985.post-4617194963299902172013-03-13T23:02:16.981-04:002013-03-13T23:02:16.981-04:00I am totally with you Hamlette!

They both have scenes that I like to rewind often. :) The 1940 P&P is simply hilarious, isn't it? I wasn't sure what to expect the first time I saw it, but it always makes me laugh! Now it's a lovely part of my collection. :D<br /><br />I've thought the exact same thing before! Austen was extremely popular in 95/96. So many versions from then! But I'm not complaining, mind you. ;)Karahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09590701834142754842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5087298869735390985.post-60949127232312919272013-03-13T22:57:38.870-04:002013-03-13T22:57:38.870-04:00Yay for happy people! :D

It took a couple viewings before I liked him a lot better. And watching a Jane Austen story multiple times? Always a win-win! (I suppose that means I need to watch the other version of <i>Emma</i> again huh?) :PKarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09590701834142754842noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5087298869735390985.post-63385149525837937832013-03-12T19:48:36.936-04:002013-03-12T19:48:36.936-04:00That's a great post!

I love Emma Thompson, Greg Wise and Alan Rickman but Hugh Grant always looks constipated and Kate Winslet fails to win me over. <br /><br />Anyway, I agree that you like what you like and that's fine :D <br /><br />I love to watch the persuasions and mansfield parks and northanger abbeys too :) the version with Felicity Jones of the later is one of my fave.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5087298869735390985.post-39422537273650284582013-03-12T08:04:08.935-04:002013-03-12T08:04:08.935-04:00Shiny, happy people!

I like the 1995 AND the 2005 P&Ps (and I refuse to be forced to choose between them!), I like the 1996 Emma, the 1995 S&S, the 1995 Persuasion (good heavens, was everything made in 95/96?). I even liked the 1940 P&P okay, as parts of it made me laugh a lot, though that's my least favorite of all the ones I've seen.Hamlette (Rachel)https://www.blogger.com/profile/11961916847426233995noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5087298869735390985.post-69838885646097813752013-03-12T06:43:23.935-04:002013-03-12T06:43:23.935-04:00I like happy people too!
I love watching all Ja...I like happy people too! <br /><br />I love watching all Jane Austen movie adaptations, but some I prefer over others. The ones that I don't like are usually because I found them boring. I own DVD's for both the 1995 and 2005 movie versions of P&P. <br /><br />When I first watched the version of Persuasion with Ciaran Hinds I did not like it at all. It is now one of my favorites. Sometimes watching a movie again does the trick. Collar City Brownstonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15263975908686070121noreply@blogger.com
