Ah okay, I got the dvd and streaming option but I should use the dvd option more. I've had a dvd sitting around for a very long time.

I hope you love it and that we didn't talk it up too much.

I'm anxious to see it.
After I finish that, I will go on to the other Emma movies.

I liked the new one. Besides the new one I only saw the Gwen Paltrow version.

I found another Emma reference in Midnight Sun.
Edward asked Bella about her favorite books.
"Everything Austen, though I'm not a huge fan of Emma-
Ugh, she's so full of herself."
I can see what she means.

However, because I am reading it through the eyes of Clueless (and I love Cher) I don't hate Emma. I just think, oh this silly clueless child.

Bella should watch Clueless.

I wonder what readers thought of Emma as a character back in Austen's day.

Maybe she was a typical girl.

That would be terrible.

We can't read readers' reviews from back then. Only critics. And I don't trust those

Critics sometimes do agree with the masses. But a work of "art" needs to be really bad for that to happen.

mmm yea, really good too. But I think you're more likely to have people say something is overrated than underrated.

I did watch Clueless last night. Cher & Josh weren't "too much brother and sister"
as Emma said.

Did you like it? It's one of my favorite movies.

I think it's so weird that anyone would object to Knightley/Emma dancing together in Austen's day. I don't think of them as related at all.
