BLIZZARD, and also BLIZZARD. and pollspam

[cimorene]

Hey, also, I don't think I mentioned that it's basically been snowing for over 24 hours here, and for most of the middle of the day it was snowing like sideways in that "window/balcony is solid white" sort of way. But at no time during the blizzard has it been above freezing. It wasn't even sticking till noon or so but finally the sheer mass of snow just built up so it couldn't melt fast enough. OH YOU CRAZY WEATHER. I need a tag for "crazy fucking weather" or possibly "LOL global climate change" or something to that effect.

Meanwhile Veronica Mars is in severe danger of cancellation, or alternatively of s4 skipping 4 years into the future with her as an FBI agent.

And here are the movie posters and a ton of high-res stills from Becoming Jane (Jane Austen biopic starring Anne Hathaway) and they're gorgeous and I'm getting excited. Also, 4 stars from Empire and a very promising review. Yay! Time to make icons! In honour of that, and of my convincing aeslis to read Austen for the first time evah, a poll.

I CAN'T TAKE THIS POLL BECAUSE YOU LEFT OUT OPTION 'GENERALLY PRIDE AND PREJUDICE EXCEPT WHEN IT'S OR PERSUASION, EXCEPT FOR EVERY SINGLE TIME I REREAD EMMA, OR MANSFIELD PARK, OR NORTHANGER ABBEY SAJDFAWIOFJAWFSD D:'

You wanted a no favourite option? But that like, doesn't tell me anything! :/ I mean... if it's USUALLY P&P isn't that a vote for P&P?

Early on P&P was winning only the people who hadn't read them all and they were evenly distributed in the read-them-all half, but now it's got a lead in both. (Still less strong with people who have read them all though.)

I'm really surprised that anyone voted for S&S at all, I have to say. Every time I see or read it, I want to kill Marianne. :/

I LOVE the movie but the book is so tedious. And it's actually Elinor who annoys me more on the whole, but Marianne is portrayed forever in unflattering lights, which annoys me more than anything else, I think.

Also, I have finally cast my vote for Persuasion, because given that I love both it and P&P about equally, it breaks my heart to see it so far outrun by the latter. :(

But isn't that part of the point, since it's more or less from Elinor's point of view? I still enjoy the movie, but not without yelling at the screen.

I really like the Persuasion movie with Ciaran Hinds. I'm sad that it's under-hyped and hard to find.
