Critical MeMe

Time spent watching films, even crappy ones, is time well-spent.

Pride and Prejudice (1995)

I don't know why -- it's truly a rare occurrence -- but I was just craving a big ol' dose of romance and called my husband at work to request that he stop and pick up a copy of this BBC miniseries on his way home.

We didn't intend to watch the entire 5-hour production in one sitting. And, actually, my husband didn't intend to watch it at all, but there we were, neither one wanting to stop (well, except to refill the Cheet-os and top off glasses of Pepsi) until the couples were coupled correctly. It was just so darn delightful...the perfect craving satisfier.

Simply conjuring up Mr. Bingley's (Crispin Bonham-Carter) earnest face mentally can make me smile.
