Last night I stumbled upon ‘Emma’ and, though I have seen it more than one time before, I had to watch it through to the end. I don’t know what it is about these Jane Austen books turned into movies that I can’t get enough of but I’m really addicted. I watched the BBC mini series version of ‘Pride and Prejudice’ all the way through and I didn’t start until 10pm. It’s 300 minutes long so you can imagine that I was tired the next day. But I watched it again the next night (I fast forwarded through some of the less romantic parts). I’ve never read a single Jane Austen book. It’s a little bit shameful because it seems that I am going through this author by watching the movies. I guess in my defense I will assume that books written in the 19th century are all dull and that somehow, through the magic of Hollywood, they are made wonderful in the present day. That’ll be my ignorant excuse anyway.
