I would buy a copy of that software!

I'm watching the Keira Knightley Pride & Prejudice again. Judi Dench is such a b!tch in this one. I loooove her.

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!")

I just got KOYAANISQATSI and POWAQQATSI on DVD - time for some beautiful imagery and Phillip Glass audio mesmerism.

I had never seen those. Got them from Netflix about three weeks ago.

Put in Koyaanisqatsi. This is no exaggeration but I fell asleep four times before I had made it 15 minutes in.

I sent both of them back. It was like home hypnotism and not in a good way.

I've seen both of these with live accompaniment by the Philip Glass Ensemble. The only place I've seen the third one is on my TV...
