Listening to: King Without a Crown, Matisyahu
Reading: Letters From the Rebbe
Watching: Pride & Prejudice
I watched Pride & Prejudice last night - the Keira Knightly version. Wow, what a dismal film that was! I must admit, I enjoyed the cinematography moreso than in my beloved BBC version, but the crap cinematography in the latter only made it more realistic. I've never seen such terrible acting in my life, except of course, Judy Dench - she was great, but her part was tiny! And also to a small extent, Donald Sutherland, he was quite good. But geez, if you've got something fantastic, why try to make it better? I refer of to the BBC miniseries, Pride and Prejudice, with the delicious Colin Firth as Mr Darcy.. and it isn't as though I'm being biased because I adore Colin Firth - in fact, it is this very production that made me appreciate Firthy in the first place.
