best post-football viewing: masterpiece theatre's latest adaption of emma. after one watches the afc and nfc championships, what's better than some good ol' jane austen goodness? congrats colts and saints!
okay it took a bit for me to get into this latest adaptation. i miss the translation that andrew davies did. romola garai plays emma with especially annoying spirit, more so than previous actresses, gwyneth platrow and kate beckinsale. there's a bit more set up for emma, jane fairfax and frank churchill than other versions i've seen. all in all, i'm excited to see the remaining parts 2 and 3. also, anyone wanna check this out with me?
most highly anticipated remake: my fair lady helmed by danny boyle. andy clued me in on the buzz of this possible remake. it sounds like a loverily endeavor with emma thompson penning the screenplay. i'm a little afraid of the casting of eliza dolittle. shar hearts her audrey hepburn and ever since they had jennifer love hewitt play her in a biopic i doubt hollywood casting agents. i saw claire danes in pygmalion a while back on broadway. she wasn't so bad but i can't see her as eliza. i'm thinking anne hathaway maybe. she won me over with her nixon impression at the oscars and i do love me some princess diaries with robert schwartzman. i boycotted the sequel because he wasn't in it. here's hoping for a grand eliza doolittle 2.0!
