That was the best adaptation ever of the best Jane Austen novel - in fact, one of the only ones not to send me fuming back to the original text. You can see that I am quite familiar with it, which is quite extraordinary for someone who does not watch TV or DVDs. I will not speculate upon the reason for this.
Ahhh, I understand perfectly. I have a similar arrangement with Robert Downey Jnr, George Clooney and Robbie Williams. Best to keep ones options open....
Thank you! I love reading your comments and even though I don't always have time to reply I am really grateful to every one who joins in the conversation.
No problem. I lived with Jack Bauer for a while.
ReplyDeleteKeanu Reeves sits under hubby's nose, but he doesn't notice. I know, lowering the tone aren't i?
ReplyDeleteMy lips are sealed for you.

ReplyDelete...Colin Firth lived in my downstairs loo for many years...
Have you ever done the 'which Jane Austen character are you?' online? It's fun - I was Anne Elliot!

ReplyDeleteIt is a hard life, but someone just has to do it. Well done you for having the fortitude to take on such a demanding house guest.
ReplyDeletePresuming Mr.M is due back soonish perhaps we could assist you and send Ciarin from house to house until Mr.M leaves again.
ReplyDeleteOh he's so wonderfully brooding and understated.
ReplyDeleteI can see why a little temporary cohabiting would be irresistible.
I agree with Pomona - this adaptation was almost perfect.
That breathless running scene at the end had me in thrall. (It's not in the book but I put my purist tendencies aside for once).
ReplyDeleteI need to tell Ali that Keanu Reeves is MINE ALL MINE.
