So I'm hoping to see Pride and Prejudice soon. I don't know if it will be as good as the 6-hour, but fast-paced, BBC version. If you're an Anglophile and you haven't seen it, you should. And that means you, Bdogg :)
I like Keira Knightley, though Elizabeth Bennet is supposed to be plainer than her sister Jane, and I doubt "plain" and "Keira" have ever appeared in the same sentence before. I have qualms about the male lead. Darcy is supposed to have presence! A strong, grumpy personality that later melts! I can't even remember this new actor's name. Come on, Colin. Play Darcy again.
In an unrelated note, I think Charlize Theron looks really cool with black hair.

Charlize Theron looks much prettier with black hair, not as plain.
I never knew what the fuss was about Charlize before. The black really suits her.
I read that the director told Keira that he wanted her, but that he was afraid she was too pretty. Then when he saw her in person, he said, "Oh, no, you'll be fine."
She wasn't sure how to take that. ;-)
Apparently someone offered to give her a nose job once. Can you imagine? I think she's one of the prettiest actresses in Hollywood.
Oh yeah, not an Austen fan.

Jane Eyre has a feminist twist, since Jane ends up being the master of poor, blinded Mr. Rochester. That was actually the subject of a paper I wrote in college on the Victorian revenge fantasy.
