    Chicago and Eliot Ness

    Hello there! (On a slight tangeant - I caught AMC's DVD TV the other week & it was showing "The Untouchables" and if you're not familiar with the set up - they show movies in widecreen format & then scroll bits of info related to anything in the movie below. Some of the things I found out...

    IN love with Pride & Prejudice (just seen the movie)

    Yes - Sense & Sensibility was costume-wise just wonderful. They wore their gowns over and over again, changing bits here and there. They wore the same ballgowns. Having a different gown in each scene (when you shouldn't be able to afford it) is another pet peeve of mine. Grr.

    IN love with Pride & Prejudice (just seen the movie)

    I think it's definitely going to be the most 'Hollywood-ized' cousin of all the Austen movies. They have to over-emphasize everything to beat it into people's brains. "Look - ugly, ill-fitting, frumpy dresses - that must mean we're poor."

    IN love with Pride & Prejudice (just seen the movie)

    I guess I'm just a bit anti-Keira. I keep remembering her in Pirates of the Caribbean moaning and complaining about how tight her corset was. Er - that's rather the point of corsets, dear.

    IN love with Pride & Prejudice (just seen the movie)

    Very anxious to see this movie as well, since it's one of my favorite books. I love every adaptation I've seen. (Well, except for that awful Bollywood version. *shudder*) But I'm slightly apprehensive about the way Elizabeth is gowned. . .seems very frumpy in the pictures floating around.

    So sorry for your loss, Lauren. But it's so nice to hear that you were able to share and learn from him for so long.

    Great Gatsby

    Gatsby Picnic . . . Matt - Alas, no - I was not at the picnic. It's in San Francisco, I believe and I'm stuck waaay over in Chicago. Lauren & I were bouncing around the idea of attending next year, though.

    Help with my family history, UK and NYC

    Trix - that's neat that you're looking into your "tree." Did you begin the research or did you pick it up from a family member? My mom & I were researching back when I was in high school & we traced back to the American Revolution, but then hit a wall. We got rather discouraged and haven't...

    Batman Begins

    Boring? Gosh, I didn't see it like that at all. Chicago was the background city used for Gotham and maybe it's just me recognizing downtown late at night (scum city), but I thought it was very dark, very worthy of the 'dark knight' storyline. Anyone else from Chicago identify all the...
