Why do people complain about the narrowness of Austen"s subject matter! The stories are a brilliant study of human character. I enjoy many types of books but don't judge a book by how far across a...
Hi, why would it be R in USA and only M (over 15's) in Aust.? To Heartless sonnet... the joke of the movie is that Colin Firth who plays Darcy in pride and pred, plays the same misunderstood...
Bridget Jones is not an R rated movie?? The theme is the same, one man has all the goodness, and the other has all the appearances of it. In P&P being over twenty and not married is cause for...
I cheated and watched the movie just now,(with Clare Bloom). Staying is pointless you say, she has three children and for what it's worth time spent in the marriage. I agree that she feels she needs...
hey downing, late? I'll respond... I think that it switches from one to the other. At first you assume it is as you said but when you think about it more you realise that they both have their pride...

I didn't mind Battlefield Earth, it gets a bit corny, but has something to say never the less. My partner read all of the Decology ( 10 books ?) he thought they were a great satire on humanity, but...
I prefer the BBC series, but feel dissatisfied with the way they wrapped up the ending so quickly, probably due to costs but they could have given us another episode surely? The film was just ok,...
I liked the book too, though it took a second read to grasp it. It's such a comment on society and proper "form" of the time. You have to keep the perspective of the era in mind, otherwise you...
I think the time I see above the thread is our daylight saving time (which doesn't start til Oct.) I think we're 9-10 hours earlier than you, so I'm up late!! Right now it's 3.41pm.

"To tell the truth, I really don't know the answer to this question for certain.
I like questions that can be right or...
you know what really threw me off.... the weird a-b-c-d multiple choice answers , it seemed like a drivers license test.
OK, so now I feel like a meany. Sorry, wrong target. I wish you luck RL, I don't think I understand your education system, that you have to do so much in so little time. Like sciencefan I have...
however I must admit the question about Georgiana being a foil is a doozy! If foil means to contrast then I would say Elizabeth because they are like opposites. Where one is witty and of lively...
dear sciencefan, you were very kind to persevere with this thread. But heavens sake why do you bother, did they read the book at all? These are incredibly simple questions that one read through of...
Natalie P always surprises me, she was terrific in Garden State, I will look out for that movie Goya's Ghost as I haven't seen it.
I think it's Lord Henry that makes an observation that when an artist is agreeable in society then his art is not that good or significant and when an artist is truly producing something of worth...
well it's been a month...oh dear can there be any other opinions on the subject?
quote; Wilde disliked the thought of being seen through his art, or at least he claimed that you should not be able to see the author through his work in Critic as an Artist.(from masterfulfruit) ...
"The universe," he continued, "this universe that we know, began in almost absolute simplicity, and it has been getting more complex for about fifteen billion years. In another billion years it will...
has this thread run out of steam yet?
fav.book- Pride and Pred. enjoy it more everytime I read it.
fav.heroine-Charlotte ( I'll stick up for the underdog everyone berates her in other threads)...
i started reading Da Vinci code and it was like a rollercoaster ride that you race through to the end, and that was it. It was fun to read, but thats all. Where as Joyce takes you places. I've...
