I even teetered on buying it.<br /><br />anecdote:<br />Despite the 20 theatres within 10 miles of where I live, it was only playing in a theatre 20+ miles away. Despite expecting bad, I had to show some Austen-pride, so I drove out to it, parked a league a way, and started trekking to theatre in August heat (is that when it came out?). Then I realized I left my wallet at home. I was more sad than I should have been, but--bonus--I found an emergency gas-money stash in car (Greg's, hahahaa), that I didn't hesitate to use all of. Driving 20 miles here takes nearly an hour, so there was no way I was going back to try again. All this may have colored my impression of film, but I honestly felt really happy after it ended for at least a few hours. And I'd watch it right now if I had it.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
