This was very funny. :-)
Watch movie adaptations of Jane Austen books
You can't do that well? Is it because in so doing you:
a) are forced to give voice to exasperatedly sarcastic comments that annoy your sisters
b) are pushed further towards insanity OR
c) it is actually impossible (for whatever reason) for you to watch Jane Austen movies?
I'm trying to work this out, as my brother complains that he can't watch Jane Austen movies either...
It's because Jane Austen's stories work well as books, but look utterly sappy on the big screen. I guess if I had to pick one of your options, it would be B.
Go Dwarves!!!
Now, I can understand Noah when it comes to the new Jane Austens, but the old ones, well, are the best!
