I’m not really a movie goer.
I haven’t seen the movie, nor have I read the book. Don’t try to convince me…it’s too long! All of it is too long, and mushy.
and old englishy.
Megan: When I’m desperate for a quick post, I’ll dig through stumbleupon. Works every time!
Red: I’m a true fan. Don’t go throwin’ the baby out with the bath water here!
Mandy: Oh no honey! Colin all the way. The 2-hour recent version just doesn’t do it justice. Plus, the final scene is total crap! Austen never wrote it like that.
omg, I laughed and laughed!! Fantastic! I’m a fan of all things P&P (except for terrible renditions … don’t like the Keira Knightly version. It had a couple things going for it, and about 15 things going against it). Probably my favorite line was, “Mrs. Bennet joined the group Widows of Men Killed in Duels.” LOL!!
PS: have you ever heard of Georgette Heyer? If not – READ The Convenient Marriage (for starters). Any fan of Austen will love it.
I clicked. What is it?
now i don’t need to read the book. OR see the movie! this is the best kind of cliff notes.
Yup, I just finished P&P for 2nd time.
Thanks!!!
Last time it took months
Cindy: Bless your heart. Please tell me you’re kidding! You’re on Facebook – you should get this joke…
Oh my word… this is one of the funniest things I’ve seen all week! Where did you find this?
That ain’t right!
Alece, read the book!!! Then watch the movie 100 times…throw away ALL cliff notes and this pathetic rendition, as well.
Yes, I am a true Austen fan.
Mandy! How could you!?
OK, it’s funny…a bit.
That’s great.
Now you know I had to see what the Pride and Prejudice post was about…how funny!
Not that I’m on Facebook or anything.

nice!
The question is…which version do you like better? The Colin Firth or the Matthew McFayden.
I LOVE the Matthew McFayden version…like LOVE it.
Becca – try the Matthew McFayden version. It isn’t too long at all. I agree thought the Colin Firth version is too long.

Sorry. Am I allowed to say “total crap” on my blog? sorry…
Elizabeth Bennett is too ugly in the Colin Firth version. I can’t look at her that long.
Can I say “too ugly” on your blog? Sorry…
(Comment at your own risk.)
Maybe I’ll try watching it again. Lots of people like that version better. Guess I’ll give it a second chance.
I’ll let you know if my opinion changes.
What is happening? I don’t get it?
Kristi: You’re off facebook, aren’t you? LOL
Mandy: That’s very mature of you!
Just blink whenever she comes on the screen? That’ll work!
are you bored, honey?
You’re mom’s bored.
No. I’m killing time before I go to work…
hahahaha.
Thank you, Ma’am. I’ve even read the whole book!
My faith in you is restored.
I’m a bit of an Austen snob.
I guess you could tell.
Sorry.
Yes Dear…no facebook for me.
Red: Yes. I noticed! You know that phrase, “It takes one to know one?” Yeah… I’m a snob, too. hehe
Kristi: And the Facebook world has never been the same.
That cracks me up Mandy! Totally funny. I do love that Pride and Prejudice!!
i love your mom jokes. i like you even more now!!!
I love it. How creative.
I can’t believe the movie debate is even open for discussion…Colin all the way. And I think his Elizabeth is quite pretty!
This makes me want to read and watch it all over again!
Okay, I think this is my favorite one:
Elizabeth Bennet and Caroline Bingley are attending the event Take a Turn about the Room.
or
Mrs. Bennet is all in an uproar.
or
Elizabeth Bennet thought that the pigs were got into the garden, but it was only Lady Catherine and her daughter.
or
Fitzwilliam Darcy tagged Elizabeth Bennet in his note My Character Requires This to be Written and Read
or
Mrs. Bennet joined the group Widows of Men Killed in Duels
Danielle: I KNOW!!!
Jenni: Your mom likes your mom jokes.
Lori: Society wouldn’t be the same without Austen.
omg, I laughed and laughed!! Fantastic! I’m a fan of all things P&P (except for terrible renditions … don’t like the Keira Knightly version.
