Yeah, guess what?! Someone uploaded that whole movie on YouTube, so I watched it tonight! It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be... but, eh, it wasn't that spectacular, in my opinion, either.

I would like to see the older version...which I'm pretty sure A&E and BBC put out together (that's confusing) just to see if all I've heard about it is true. I've heard it's just awful. If that's the case, then I guess I'm stuck with the newer version.

I thought there were two others because the A&E/BBC version has two very different covers -- you can't even tell they're the same actors.

I just finished Northanger Abbey. I think it's one of my favorite Austen novels. The only thing I disliked about the book was the length! I wanted more of Catherine and Mr. Tilney interactions. I really liked their characters as well. Catherine was sweet but I loved how her imagination would run wild. I loved the description of her as a child. I also really like Eleanor as well and wanted to see some more of her.

But man, I wanted to smack Isabella. I disliked how she took advantage of Catherine's friendship and was so selfish. Her brother too. I was speechless that what he did when Catherine told him she was previously engaged.

Now off to the bookstore to pick up the Radcliffe book frequently mentioned!

Such a sleeze ball. I liked Mr. Tilney's response after Thrope tried to detain her from a dance with him.

But, alas, I did not come away with any Ann Radcliffe. The novel in question at the nearest English bookstore was 17 euros. A very sad occasion.
