long in austen


i was all headachetastic last night so i took an allergy pill around 9:30 and called it a night. i wanted something good to watch in bed and i settled on lost in austen (2008) without realizing that it was a miniseries, so i fell asleep and had to finish it up this morning. the plot is that a modern londoner who loves pride and prejudice is visited by elizabeth bennet through a surprise door in her bathroom. they trade places and amanda preceded to fuck everything up by trying to force it. everyone married the wrong people, mr. darcy falls in love with her, all kinds of stuff.

i've read pride and prejudice and seen the colin firth mini series, but it was all for school and i don't love jane austen. but, this was pretty good. i liked it because you can't force things and when you try, the don't really work out the way you wanted.

and, she discovered new things about the characters. there's this guy who is a cad and maybe raped mr. darcy's little sister and stuff. but, he ends up because really helpful and kind and not a rapist at all. i really loved him. i would have gone with him, fuck mr. darcy. although darcy was charming in his way and a total fox.

  1. i like that the fuck up and hot like a girl tags are right next to each other there. it reminds me of the lovely tim riggins. anyway, i wonder if i would like this. i have no patience for old timey things lately but pretty like a girl is something i feel that it's the right thing to do to give it a chance.

  2. you'll have to let me know. i felt like it really moved. the mr. darcy actor isn't in much else, which made me sad. but i think he will be in the future.
