Mod
Thank God it's over & we are all well.
I WATCHED P AND P LAST NIGHT FOR THE FIRST TIME I LOVE IT SOOOOOOOOOO MUCH
Mod
Which ever it would have been good - they are all amazing!
haha i officially Love Jane austen shes such a genius!! i watched the one with keira knightley 2005 lizzies sooooo pretty and darcy...well ya know
Mod
YES I CANT BELIEVE I LASTED THIS LONG without watching it. mr darcy is SO crushable especially that rain scene when they r yelling at each other after he confesses his love *squeal*
Mod
haha thnx!! glad to join u all! i loved lizzie so much and how she sassed lady catherine and mr. collins i started laughing so hard. mr. darcy was just plain amazing even though i was like meh in the beginning idk if u remember that one seen where mr. darcy was trying to confess his love to lizzie and he didnt know what to say so hes like um nice charming house....and later he bolts out? i thought that was soooo cute. i read a teen version prom and prejudice so i sorta knew the plot with wickham.lizzies mom drove me crazy....like she was such a matchmaker and the girls were such flirts it just drove me insane. at last lizzie and jane were pretty sensible *sigh*
Mod
glad you loved it, Caro.
Mod
I most certainly do know that scene! SOO sweet! And Lizzie is great and I am so pleased when she is standing up to Lady C!! ;D
I need to reread P & P, it's been like a year since I read it last. It is the best JA book I've read. I haven't read Persuasion or Lady Susan... but I'm betting those won't even come close to P&P. :) P&P has earned a place in my favourites list.
Mod
I think I have some Jane Austen books on my Kindle. I should really get around to reading them...
am I the only one in the group who is not a fan of Pride and Prejudice? It's okay if I am I'm just curious lol. I just didn't care for it at all.
Mod
@Carlin: YES! you must read them!!! :D start with P&P. ;)
@Kim: I want to say there was someone else who mentioned not liking Jane Austen..how? I have NO idea! lol ;D have you seen the 2005 and 1995 versions? :)
Mod
its okaay kim i used to not like jane austen until two nights okay..
Mod
LOL yeah I've read it I just don't like it. I was just curious :-D
Mod
No kidding, each to their own :)
Mod
well have you SEEN it Kim? ;) lol
I haven't seen any of the movies, no.but the movie won't change why I don't like it. I just can't wrap my head around that kind of relationship and the relationship is consistent in the movie (from what I hear) to what it is in the book.
Mod
I haven't. I'm not sure if I'm that interested, but I might give them a try someday :-)
what what...stumbles mid step...u dont like the plot?? mr. darcy is the ULTIMATE guy in my opinion oh sigh ur opinion
Mod
i saw 2005 the one with keira knightley? my darcy <3
Mod
The 1995 CBC version of Mr Darcy is the best. :)

The 1995 P&P is the BEST!!! :D
yeah see that's it Caro I don't think Mr Darcy is the ultimate guy - quite the opposite really. I don't find it attractive for a man to speak poorly of a woman, or say demeaning things about her, to others and within ear shot of her. I also don't like his superiority complex. I get that it's the era. And I know he "changes" in the end but he's not the kind of guy for me. And even the fact that after they profess their love for each other they're yelling at each other? That's not my idea of a healthy relationship. so yeah, I'll pass on the likes of Mr. Darcy. :-)and I'm not dissing anyone else who does like him beause I know that I am in a very tiny minority of women who don't like him, I'm just explaining why I don't care for the book, and why I don't think Mr. Darcy is the ultimate guy :-)
Mod
Which is showed well in the film! Which is worth watching anyway - I have many (unfortunately) friends who dislike the book but like the film!
And as to the other debate, I love both film and series and BOTH are worth watching! Both Darcy's are great!!!
LOL! that's semantics and making excuses for poor behavior. ;-)Like I said, I'm fine if people love the book, and Mr. Darcy. I simply don't. It's just a matter of preference and choice that's all :-)
Mod
Idk there's just something attractive about Darcy...now that I've seen the movie I'm starting the book!!
Mod
When you have read the book you will realise how much they had to leave out of the film due to time constraints and then you should watch the 1995 mini series to see just how accurate it is! (they leave like NOTHING out and it's great to have the entire book (pretty much) brought to life!
Mod
Yes agreed!! Yay I love agreeing with ppl I have to say I never realized that it was such an intricate plot....plus it's not a shallow chick flick there r pretty deep themes running through the book. P and p is free on iBooks!!
