ISIL because I like mythology and Isis was a cool goddess.

I have very little clue about "Daesh". It looks, to my mind, like it should be "Daysh".

Have to disagree. The tone of the miniseries is far more restrained, because manners and outward behavior was more restrained.

That's fine, though I also have to disagree with you. I'm so sick of this BBC tradition of believing life before 1900 existed on a pristine British theater stage. What made the 2005 version so wonderful is that it brought life and spontaneity and texture and dirt to the story. I don't care whether it was 1500 or 2015, people chat, they converse, they stumble. They don't recite their lines as they do in so many of the BBC adaptations of the 90s. To me, that is what lacks subtlety and vitality; things which the 2005 film had in spades. The 2005 version has that one line people cite for being clunky, Darcy's "I love, I love, I love you," and yet that's a line which makes complete sense, given that Darcy's been walking half the night to come profess his love to Elizabeth, and has undoubtedly been rehearsing while he walked. It was just one of those beautiful moments where life actually lets a person say the thing they mean to say at the time they mean to say it.

The 2005 adaptation just sounds like a super cheesey romance,

And yet I could count the romance films I like on one hand and have fingers left over. The P&P film is certainly not much like the romance films that I've seen.

I won't say I hate "lettuce" because at this point that name is used for a number of leafy greens, but I hate iceberg luttuce. Not because of the taste, but because the leaves are so tightly furled on any head you get in shops. It's a bitch pulling them off and that's why I prefer other, looser types.

Selene, the main character in Underworld. Haldir as well. Both of them because of things that happened in RP. Even though I have a reason, I still think it's a bit irrational to dislike the original characters.

Tauriel is not irrational, but I dislike her for very shippy reasons.

Solas however is irrational, because I haven't played the damn game and I merely hate his face.

But...nothing like that happens in the book? At all? This is not a story that needed 'dirt'. The whole point is to find the emotions buried under the layers of social repression and sublimation, not have them ham-fistedly whack you in the face with trite romantic rubbish that isn't in the book and undermines both the main characters.

I get these really appalled looks whenever I say I like it since I also like the novel and everyone always sputters, "But it's just so wrong! The movie stinks! How can you like it and like the book too?!"

It's a shame you can't hang with me and mine. Two of my closest friends love it and it's my father's favorite movie period. So I never want for opportunities to watch it again.

I like the novel too, though I tend to view the two separately. I'm fond of the novel, though it's not my favorite of Austen's novels, and I tend to like all of her works best when I think of them as a collection. The movie, I love. It's sincere and engaging, and maybe the most visually exquisite movie I can think of. I makes me incandescently happy.

As for the haters, I totally know what you mean. Some people's antagonism towards the movie is laughable in its intensity. And it really does seem to be a problem mainly for people who loved the miniseries, because critically and with general audiences the film did very well.

Not only do I disagree with you on every point, the intensity of your hate on for this movie is truly baffling to me.

aww, cuteness overload!

I found "Expecting Someone Taller" and "Flying Dutch" in a library and found the writing in them similar to Pterry.

Ironically, people at the time complained about how much the BBC miniseries overcooked things (they had a point - Mrs Bennett in the TV series is much more vulgar that she is in the book - but at the same time they had to over play that so that a modern audience would be able to understand why Darcy finds her so off-putting).

And then there's the various little bits of business put in to play up Darcy's sexiness (not that I object to seeing more of Colin Firth...)

Well earlier this week, one about a mudslide and trying to save my pets.

Couple of nights ago, a complete curveball dream about running into someone i cut out of my life and them demanding to know why I cut them out (BECAUSE YOU'RE FUCKING NUTS)

Is this embellishment, or legit dialogue from the film? I honestly can't tell - it's been a while since I've seen it. If it really is that bad, I don't think I'll ever try and watch it again.

The Karl May movies.

SA i think they're not well known outside of Germany but for one they have a decent cast and are pretty well done, and then there's the two main characters in the Winnetou movies that will never not feel gay and kinda unconsciously were my first ship back when I was a kid.

I really loved Lost In Austen, but I think Bingley and Wickham are far more interesting than Darcy in that show. I'd never have thought Wickham could become a sympathetic character, but they manage it somehow. And Bingley was driven to drink, if I remember correctly. It was very amusing.

Jonathan Rhys Meyers?

It is troll, darling, making fun of people who are opposed to the IP logging, not the people opposed to IP logging themself.

bleugh mayo

lasagna!

that movie irritated the shit out of me and I normally LOVE '60s rock.

I'm sick of looking at BC. Does he have to be in fucking EVERYTHING?

I never liked him. he's not funny.

I don't hate it but I find it kind of meh. some of my friends LOVE LOVE LOVE it so much. I'd far rather watch Archer or Rick and Morty.

I think circa Deer Hunter Walken could probably pull it off. It might not be good but it'd be entertaining. :)
