Pride & Prejudice

[Jeff Lebowski]

It was horrible. Absolutely dreadful.

Speaking of horrible, how can you pimp anything with Keira Knightley after that crime against humanity, otherwise known as Pirates III? I get a case of the dry heaves every time I see her because it reminds me of that movie.

That's like saying you can't love Big Lebowski because John Goodman was in Blues Brothers 2000. You deserve a big C'mon Man for that one!

I see where you are trying to go with this, but did you really just compare the Big Lebowski to Pride and Prejudice?

Let's step back and pretend that Pirates III was just a bad dream. You didn't find Keira's fake British accent to be a little over the top?

(Yes, I have seen this version too. )

Keira is British, dumdum.

Keira is British, dumdum.

Dammit. That's checkmate.

Uhhh........ that just shows how crappy she is if she can't even pull off her own accent convincingly!!

[YOhio]

Dammit. That's checkmate.

BTW, I never saw Pirates III.

But how could I have forgotten our bodybuilding Ivy League finance professor? I fear for Art Vandalay if he ever crosses paths with pelagius. I'm pretty sure pelagius would punch his lights out.

Usually I would be crushed if left off an Austen fan listing but not in this case ... The use of an ampersand in the title is actually the high point for the movie.

But that's the case with any movie that uses an ampersand in the title. How can you top that? Who doesn't love ampersands? To quote IPU, you're on the list, pal.

One thing that really bothers me about the PBS version is that our tax dollars paid for British actors. There are loads of American actors begging for work and our own government-funded tv is shipping the jobs overseas. My blood is boiling!

FAIL. The following is an incomplete list of CUFers that love P&P:

Notice anything about that list? Everyone is awesome and you're excluded.

Yes, yes, a thousand times yes, I can be considered a P&P fan.

PoTC III? Did we learn nothing from Rocky and The Godfather?

Wasn't it British tax dollars? I believe that version was produced by the BBC. Am I wrong?

It was produced by the BBC.

I'm sure PBS had to pay them something for the rights.

And as much as I adore Keira Knightley, the BBC production is the best (besides the mormon version, of course).

Dammit. That's checkmate.

You ain't kiddin'. I haven't seen that much uber-pwnage since the time somebody asked DDD for help mounting a rear-projection TV.
