After finally seeing it, I feel comfortable saying...

That there are not words strong enough to convey my complete, boundless, and utter dislike of the most recent Pride and Prejudice movie.  I think it is quite fair to say that I hated it with the passion of a thousand burning suns, and have never spent so much time yelling at the television screen.

In sum, I say this:  There is only one Darcy, and Colin Firth is his name.  Forever and ever, amen.

I now wonder why all those Austenites wasted their breath kvetching about the costumes.  The story, the characterizations... there were a lot more bitchworthy complaints than costuming.

I am awash with WTF. 

That is all.

But the brilliant thing about that rejoinder is that it's a total slap to Caroline who's being such a h0r about Lizzie walking all that way, and by that point you kind of hate Caroline anyway. It would've been worse if they'd left it in and you were all, "Wait, who's this catty bitch he's talking to?"

Er. And by "you" I mean the general viewing audience. Clearly you'd know who that catty bitch was.

They COULD have left it in, though. But, no. No, they'd rather just strangle the life and charm and, let's face it, the Austen out of the movie.

It makes me so sad that so many people LIKED the movie.
