Northanger Abbey 2007

[meganbmoore]

This is actually the first of the "Jane Austen Season" from a few years ago that I've seen  (I'll watch Sense and Sensibility next, as I read the book recently.  My thoughts on that are basically "Fun but not as involving as the other Austens I've read, and Ferrars annoyed me a lot.  Which may be why I kind of loved Lucy's horrible "Stuf U!" letter, even though I probably shouldn't.")
 

Anyway, my thoughts are as follows:

1.  I'm not sure about some plot changes, but that was ridiculously adorable, and Felicity Jones and Carey Mulligan (also, wow, did not realize Mulligan was hiding that cleavage in Bleak House and Marple) were basically perfect and J.J. Feild wasn't anything to sneer at either.

2.  I am very glad they toned down Tilney's teasing Catherine to where I don't feel he's almost verbally bulldozing over her.

3.  Catherine's gothic dreams were fabulous.  I really need to read Radcliffe, even though I suspect I'll skim chunks.

4.  It was hilarious watching Feild try to figure out how to kiss Jones without literally bending in half.
