A new book is causing a buzz in the U.K., and news is starting to trickle over the pond to the U.S. Sadly, the ever-accurate-ha-ha CBS has messed it up:
According to CBS, this is Elizabeth I…Wrong Hmm, it seems to me that we’ve discussed this before. The woman in the picture, and the woman the [...] Several of my friends and I have been looking forward to the new movie Julie & Julia. I’m interested in seeing the spy story of Julia Child and how they stitch this movie about two different people from two different eras together. One thing I wasn’t expecting to see was Meryl Streep playing her mother [...] Are you ready? Can we take one more? Have you prepared yourself? Can you stomach watching another? Yes, dear friends, another Jane Austen adaptation is on the way to a TV screen near you. The hallowed BBC is releasing a new adaptation of Austen’s beloved Emma. I believe it will be shown in the U.K. in [...] A while back Missyisms shared that Marvel comics was going to release a five-part edition of the Jane Austen classic Pride and Prejudice in comic book form. The first two comic books have been released and our humble editor has taken a look. In summary, they aren’t as bad as they could be, but they definitely [...] Marvel, yes the comic book people, are inking into the Jane Austen frenzy. They are releasing Pride and Prejudice in five-serial comic books. I believe the first issue will be released in April, but I can't say for sure. If you need smelling salts to recover from the thought of P&P in comic book form, then [...] The other day I told you that you could own a piece of the Firth as Darcy legacy.

As I mentioned the other day, there is [...] Delmer blogged today about the Dick and Jane readers used in American schools in years past. This brings back some interesting memories for me. Sadly, I looked a little too much like Sally, the younger sister in the Dick and Jane series. Any time we'd read from the Dick and Jane readers, kids would call [...] Missy is a fan of Pride and Prejudice Facebook style. Well worth the reading. A few of my favorite lines from the above link: Elizabeth Bennet and Caroline Bingley are attending the event Take a Turn about the Room. Fitzwilliam Darcy is proposing to Elizabeth Bennet. It is not going well. :-/ Mrs. Bennet KNEW that single men with good fortunes would want wives. It's all [...] Did you know that Mr. Darcy, gentleman that he was, was really a menace. This YouTube video proves it. Well, it proves the 2005 adaptation of Pride and Prejudice does have an interesting sub-text when remixed a bit. The narration on this video is a little forced, but it is interesting how many images from [...] PBS aired part 1 of the last adaptation in their Complete Jane Austen with the BBC’s new Sense and Sensibility. And, wow, finally one of these new adaptations that is not only decent, but pretty good! It’s not perfect, but none of the adaptations, even Pride and Prejudice (1995) are perfect. But this one might [...] |
