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.

But Rickman was, as usual, great, and the film did afford some fun opportunity for contemplating slash/fixfic between Rickman and Kevin Kline's characters.

I am glad it wasn't a dead loss.

January Man et al

January Man was a bit of a train-wreck (with some really famous actors). Someone has kindly spliced together Rickman's scenes

While rummaging around, I found this. Talk about ugly 1980s clothes

1980 jogging clothes are better
