SO, a girl i used to babysit but is now all grown up with two kids (that makes me sooooo old) enlightened me to the new bbc emma. three little words were mentioned that made me KNOW without a doubt i would fall helplessly in love with this mini-series... johnny lee miller. i am hopeless when it comes to anything johnny. i have loved him since the days of hackers and what angelina jolie was thinking to dump him for brad pitt i'll never, NEVER understand. i mean really? johnny lee miller...brad pitt. johnny lee miller...brad pitt. it's her loss i say. he always plays the most obscure characters ( like when he played lord byron and threw the bird cage out the window because he was sick of hearing the bird sing...classic!) it made my heart race with excitement to see him portray the fabulous mr. knightly. i have to say i adore the gweneth paltrow movie version, but the bbc sure knows just how to do jane austen. this version is better then the movie, more thoroughly follows the book and like i said, it has johnny lee miller. (i am aware the movie has ewan mcgreggor...he comes in a very, very milli-inch second in my opinion.) if you want to see the charming, delightful masterpiece you'll have to watch it on youtube for now since it won't be coming out in america until 2010. plus, why watch it on american t.v.? they cut out far to much of the movie for it to really be worth it anyway. as for my british friends, you have already watched it and well you've let me down again (eh, em. sharon) you only get one more chance before all hope is lost on you....
go [HERE] to be completely and utterly enchanted... :)
