I had a dream with Judi Dench in it last night, and I woke up all thinking of YOU, G.C.

How sweet! And, by the way, to quote Dame Judi: I've been plucked since we last met.




Oofta! How could I have not watched the 1995 version of Pride and Prejudice? I watched bits and pieces, but hadn't sat through it. It's wonderful! Is everyone in the Bonham-Carter family gorgeous? And the Mr. Collins in this version is just... ewww!

Oh, but Mr. Collins needs to be Ew! (the actor portraying him was also a very wonderful Cicero in the HBO series Rome)

I love this version of P&P (and I do love the old MGM, too, with Greer Garson and the divine Mary Boland as Mother Bennett, "totering on the brink!")

Lady Catherine (Katherine?) is not nearly as bitchy in the 1995 version as she is in the 2005 version. But I daresay that Judi did a wonderful wonderful job.
