p&p

ok, so the dvd of pride and prejudice came today.....and we watched it for the 1st of many viewings......and my family kept asking about plot points......impossible that with so many viewings of the colin firth version that there could be plot point questions......granted nobody else has taken the time to read the actual book except me.......and as it happened....my spouse was disappointed that the 2005 remake did not include the double wedding.......i laughed out loud to think that my family that mocked my love of a 5-part miniseries for its length and attention to detail could be disappointed at the streamlined keira knightly take on p&p......2 hours versus 5 hours....some themes had to hit the cutting room floor......wonder if focus features has an extended version int he works.....true austen fans would gladly pay a premium for an extra 3 hours of footage........
