There were some comments on-line about wearing hair down.
In the DVD extras, the producers said something about taking some poetic license, but
keeping to the period. :shrug:

I dislike that producer excuse. They always try to make it relatable to modern audiences and I, personally, don't need to have something dumbed down / made relatable for me. I like historical accuracy.

Yes. While there were Austen characters, it wasn't an Austen story.

It's different if the producers are upfront about not caring about accuracy, but if you are trying to pass it off as accurate :nono:

They think they are doing well for Austen.
While it might be a nice story, we all know Austen wouldn't have all those things in her books.

Same. On both statements.

:nod: 100%

I wonder what Emma Thompson would've done with Sanditon

Oh please! Let her have a shot! :nod:

Someone call her up and tell her to take over.

Does she have social media?

:lol: She could finish the book on her own, I am sure.

I think I'd read it


I have no idea if she has social media.


I saw an interview with Hugh Grant where he said Emma is not remotely sane. He said she has to measure the weight of food in her hands before eating it.

:look: Hmmmm. She would have been fun at one of Jane's dinners.

Jane would've written a strange character based on her.


I saw this video of Elizabeth being savage for 8 min and it made me laugh

That's just the way I ask about people: Who is the man with the quizzical brow? :D

:lol:
I wish we still spoke to people like Austen characters AND danced liked Austen characters.

:lol: I need to find a way to slip this into a conversation.

Why? Maybe he was kidding.

If he was kidding, he did it so dead-pan that it came off as truth.

All of the Austen movies have great dances! I would like to learn them.

Would you ever go to England with a Jane Austen fan group?

Sure!

They might even teach us the dances :woot:

That would be a great trip; I will have to see if they have Austen group tours.

They do have the Austen Book Club book narrated by Richard Armitage. I bet they learn dances in that.

Here's a good one:

Jane Austen Tour

Take your groups back to Georgian England... a civilised time of country dances , afternoon teas, small villages and grand houses.

HIGHLIGHTS
Jane's childhood home in Steventon.

Chawton, where she revised and decided to publish her most famous works and the museum of Austen memorabilia.

Winchester, where she died and is buried.
Bath and the famous Pump Room, Assembly Rooms and Jane Austen Centre.
Lyme Regis, which featured in Persuasion.
Picturesque Lacock, used as a location in Emma and Pride and Prejudice.
Chatsworth, potentially the inspiration for Pemberley, Darcy's family home and the location for Death Comes to Pemberley.

I especially want to see this!
