[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]When he comes to "condole" with the Bennetts over Lydia's elopement, he says that her death would have been preferable to eloping / bringing shame upon the family. The phrase was something like "her death would have been a blessing".  He also says who will want to align themselves with such a family.

His views are odious even if they weren't so strange for that time. I think he gets a bad rap because he has no social graces and is such a suck up. I think Lizzy is way too hard on Charlotte though, because the man was the only plan available to women who weren't independently wealthy. Charlotte was getting close to being past the age when women typically married.

My daughter's favorite line is "are the shades of pemberley to be thus polluted," [b]uttered by Lady Catherine from the A&E version[/b]. I loved that Lady Catherine - she was so dramatic and bitchy. [/quote]

er...it's a quote from the [i]BOOK[/i]:

That's why the A&E version is a superior dramatization to the Keira Knightly crap version.  The A&E version stays pretty close to Austen's words.[/quote]

Uh, they say the exact same line in the Kiera Knightley version.

You people really need to calm the hell down.[/quote]

It's still a quote from the book.  The A&E version still uses more of Austen's words.

It sure as hell didn't include a scene with Lady Catherine bursting in on the Bennetts in the middle of the night.  What moron decided to give Judi Dench a riding crop as a prop?  Like  woman that dumpy could straddle a horse.   Plus what idiot would write in dialogue about wanting to talk in the garden?  Yes, it's from the book, but when you set a scene at night in the early 1800s--the garden is pitch black.

:shock:  :shock:  :shock:  :shock:

They had candles back then- they could have certainly taken a single candle out to the garden with them.  It's not like the house is much brighter in the time before electricity.

I think some people want a religious adaptation, and others enjoy seeing artists make their own interpretation of the work.  I much prefer the 2005 version, although I like the 1995 version too.  How about you realize that people have different tastes and get over it? [/quote]
