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.

WHATEVER YOU DO, do not watch An Awfully Big Adventure which is billed as "Grant and Rickman in another romcom!", but has actual fridged Mom, incest, and surprise!suicide at the very end.

(I feel fully justified in spoiling this movie for people because I watched it unspoiled and it was like being trapped in a horror movie. "Things are....not good? Oh wow. Very not good. THAT bad? SHIT.")

I've read the novel. I didn't think Stella's mother was dead, though, just nationally recorded and otherwise absent.
