my precious.
Happy early valentine's to moi! After months of trial and tribulation I finally am the proud owner of..."Become Jane" on DVD. Before you groan and start bashing my obnoxiously heteronormative behavior (that ones for you, crazy guy in my communications class) I have to explain the torrid love affair between "Becoming Jane" and I. Last summer, I went to go see the movie in theaters with my mom. Next to me in the theater was this obnoxious single guy who kept turning a water bottle upside down and making sloshing noises, whom I eventually hissed "STOP IT" at. Due to my mental love affair with James McAvoy, I have wanted to buy the movie ever since (fact: I now own exactly four movies on dvd and they are as follows; Pride and Prejudice, Becoming Jane, Shag: The Movie (about southern debs doing the dance in the 60s, not a porno), and West Side Story. such a complete collection). Anyways, after having been out forever it was simply not scheduled for release in the United States ever. EVER? It had been released in the UK months ago so I forced my mother to order it for me from there for Christmas. Christmas came and it turned out my mom had bought it on HD-DVD, thinking "high def, that must be better right?" So I, teary eyed, had to send it back over the ocean where it belonged. But tonight it finally came out in the states and Canada and now it is mine! Now I can have back to back Jane Austen themed marathons in my bed with the down comforter and bowl after bowl of honey bunches and oats! Hooray!

have you been watching the Austen marathon on PBS? It may be only our local NYC channel, I don't know, but they're systematically airing all the pbs versions of all the Austen books. There were terrible versions of Persuasion and Mansfield Park, then a really charming one of Northanger Abbey (which I always thought was a charming book), and they just finished up part 2 of the Colin Firth P&P. On our station, it's every night at nine, on "Masterpiece"--which appears to be a revamped version of Masterpiece Theatre, with a truncated name and truncated theme song. (Why?? It's not like it's any hipper now...)
