Pride and Prejudice Fans

[pegkerr]

I just called the girls, who are home today, and I was rather amused that my little sophists took my dispensation to watch "one movie, one that you can both agree on" and used it to watch, indeed, one movie: Pride and Prejudice--all six hours of it.

"I'm looking forward to seeing the new version, aren't you?" I asked Delia (we've seen the trailer in the movie theaters).

"Yeah," she said, with a shade of doubt in her voice. "But . . . I think the Mr. Darcy in the new version [Matthew MacFadyen] can't be nearly as good as our Mr. Darcy [Colin Firth]."

See it soon, as archmage45 says! It's ducky. Definitely adapted by a fan. And yet it's not a slavish adaptation (so often a death knell), but an independent (and delightful) story. A retelling in the best sense of the word.
