Okay, so what are your favorite versions of Pride and Prejudice?

I place Elmore’s disliked MGM version second to the top, after the Jennifer Erle-Colin Firth version.

I place the musical First Impressions at the bottom.

1995 BBC version with Ehle and Firth is first, followed by the 1980 BBC version with Elizabeth Garvey as my favorite Lizzie.

Third, the 2005 movie with Keira Knightley. I find the MGM film too coy, and what they did to Lady Catherine de Burgh a disgrace.

"First Impressions" is to Jane Austen what roadkill is to a living thing.

I just had a nonstop - uh, hour - mowing some weeds and pulling others.

The mowing achievement is only noteworthy because the linkage that activates the mower's pulling drive broke, and I had to push it around the yard the old fashioned way -- with physical effort.

And that, by God, is my exercise for the day.   8)

The Keira Knightly version suffers from horse-jawed, braying Keira Knightly.

Thank you.  Keith didn't like any of the options I found, not that I don't agree with him.

I am currently reading I Must Betray You by Ruta Sepetys.  It takes place in Romania in 1989 before Ceaușescu was outed.  I wish this book had been written, and read before we visited Craig in Romania.

Back from my trek to Covenant Family Allergy all the way down in North Augusta off I-20.

I got a very good report and don't go back for three months..

I went to CostCo and found a riding cart.  Did my business, saw stuff from a vantage point I had never done before, and bought my goodies.

The drive home was to have been quick and off the beaten path for me, but I wanted to avoid congestion in the community of Belvedere.  Once you get past that exit off I-20, it's clear sailing to the exit I like.  Speed limit is 70 mph.

Today, however, less than half a mile past the exit, both lanes were stopped...and for as far ahead as the eye could see.   Spent the next 15 minutes or so doing about 20 mph.  Couldn't see anything up ahead that would account for it...until...I saw a burned, smoking vehicle on the side of the road with workers tending it.   And was that blocking the road?

No.

It was all the "looky-loos".

Disgusting.

The 1980 BBC version has a good screenplay by Fay Weldon.

It is amazing how much those "looky-loos" can slow down traffic.  Really, a glace was probably enough to see what had happened.

Well, shoot.  Tonight's performance of Mamma Mia! has been canceled.  Still negative on Covid tests, but a cold and I guess a bit of a fever for someone. :-\

Polly Bergen’s voice is lower in range than Farley Granger’s Darcy. It’s disconcerting. Heroine Gingold thinks the show’s about her. And her character songs are excruciating.
