Since I was about 13 or 14, I have been in love with Pride & Prejudice - (I am talking serious love too, not just infatuation or a fleeting crush!) However, I was unwilling to shell out all the money that was required to purchase the 6 VHS tapes! I bought the Kiera Knightly version of it a couple years ago, and while I do thoroughly enjoy it, this version is not true to the book and leaves out many (in my humble opinion) crucial details & characterizations. In other words, when I was in need of a good Jane Austen fix - it did not do the trick!
I love modern technology! I was on half.com the other day, and saw the TRUE version of P & P for $19.00 - on DVD, plus a book on the making of the movie!
I almost started to cry! I instantly called Heather - and we both invested in this fabulous WORK OF ART (for those of you who don't agree that this is a work of art - you NEED to watch it! Mr. Darcy by himself is worthy of the title!) Now all that I have to do is find 5+ hours to sit and watch - I'll let you know when that happens. I don't see it happening in the near future - but at least I have it waiting for me! I am SO EXCITED! Anyone up for a GIRLS NIGHT IN?
