I sit here in the thunder, the green on the grey

Me: I should rewatch Sense and Sensibility (1995). It might pair illuminatingly with Persuasion (1995); I haven't seen it in nine years and I've never written about it; I saw it for the first time in 1996 with someone who didn't like it. That was a point in my life when I saw very few movies and did not think critically about them if I did. Those can be interesting to revisit.

*half an hour of movie later*

My critical faculties: FUCK, Alan Rickman is BEAUTIFUL.

Ladies and gentlepeople, that may be the review.

ALAN RICKMAN READING EDMUND SPENSER.

(really everyone is gorgeous in that movie. But only Alan Rickman gets to breathe "The air is full of spices")

I love the context of that line as well as its delivery, but I have in fact remembered the delivery for twenty-two years.
