It's nice to start off the morning watching Sense & Sensibility. Even though I spend a lot of the movie wanting to smack Marianne and fling her at Colonel Brandon.

Emma Thompson's commentary is one my favorites ever, too. She's constantly talking from beginning to end, all of it is interesting, and my favorite bit is when Colonel Brandon first shows up and spots Marianne and Eleanor sees him watching -- "Oh, who's this? He's watching my sister. Quite a dish." *snerk* Just when I think Snape's screwed with my Alan Rickman fangirlishness, Colonel Brandon pulls me back in.

I'm downloading "The Raven" as read by Christopher Walken. Hee. I love that clip so.

EDIT: Every romantic movie starring Tom Hanks and Meg Ryan should be redone with Alan Rickman and Emma Thompson, just 'cause.

uhm. i was not thinking. weren't they all bad anyway? should emma and alan be wasted in them???

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Alan and Emma could make any movie good, as long as the director was smart enough to let them play with their dialogue a little. Or, you know, a lot.

In any event, I'd much rather see those two remake The Shop Around the Corner than Tom and Meg.

a) yep.

b) "you got mail" was a crime against humanity. or ernst lubitsch. no, come to think of it, humanity after all.


c) do post what other goodies emma said on the commentary!

You know, I have You've Got Mail in my collection, and I have no idea where it came from. If I was going to have a Tom & Meg movie, I should have gotten Joe Versus The Volcano, damn it. At least I like that one.

And if you like Sense And Sensibility, it's worth renting just to hear Emma banter with the producer about the movie. It's so cute and well-informed. There's another commentary with Ang Lee, that I still haven't gotten around to.
