  1. When it comes to the fictional stories vs. true stories issue, I'm generally on the side of sticking with history.....however, if anyone's interested in doing their own compare and contrast I'd still give a shout-out to the 1953 version of Titanic which also focused on a set of fictional passengers (including the always awesome Barbara Stanwyck), and IMO was a much more engrossing and emotional storyline.

  2. I actually really like the 1971 version on Persuasion.  Yes, the production values are non-existent and some of the hair and wardrobe choices are way too '70's, but it's very true to the story IMO.

    PBS used to show this on Saturday evenings. I was too young to appreciate it at the time--I was there for Waiting for God and Keeping Up Appearances! But now that I am an adult, I end up thinking about As Time Goes By a surprising amount and wishing I'd actually given it more of a chance than I did as a teenager. 

    I had no time for ATGB as a teen, either.  I thought it was a total snooze.  Now it's a different story; I can appreciate the charm and I try to catch reruns whenever I can.  (And my favorite line-up back in the day was KUA, The Vicar of Dibley, and Are You Being Served? 😊

    ...in the perfect house. (Seriously, if I could move into the Body Mansion I would do it even if it meant facing a 1 in 6 chance of being a murderer. 

    As a dorky child I may or may not have attempted more than once to build an accurate replica in The Sims.  Maybe. I've admitted nothing. 😄

    Hard to put into words isn't it?  Something like saying "No Shit" or "I Shit You Not".

    Now you're speaking my language.  😆  Thanks for translating!

    Pride and Prejudice fans, have you read the book? I've heard the book is also amazing, so I wonder if I should read the book first. 

    The book is great and in my opinion definitely deserves its status as a classic. Normally I am team Book First! but if you haven't read literature from Austen's era before then I recommend seeing the movie first to ease yourself into her world and get a sense of what's going on. That's what I did and I think if I had tried to read the book first I would have given up.

    And if I can also cheat, I'd recommend starting with the '95 miniseries version. 🙂
