Yeah no, the best rotisserie chicken is from Heinen’s. That said I have to admit that sometimes they don’t get it exactly right. No one wants a pale bird.

Oh great, this guy lives in my neck of the woods....

It really is. This and those stories about colleagues donating their leave to new parents or sick colleagues being sold as heartwarming. Yes, it’s amazing that the colleagues did that, but it’s still wrong that they needed to do it.

Gwen because she’s the most right. Diagonal is how I am most likely to cut my sandwich with the occasional  X cut. It just seems to have the most variety.

Despite what NYC-ers would have you think, the state of New York is more than just their city. 

I did not know that and you are right, that WOULD be even more Browns than this.

Snapping the losing streak with a tie is literally the most Browns thing ever.

Honestly I am shocked that the manager showed human decency. So often in fast food restaurants, it seems like the manager doesn’t side with the employee.

On one hand, I can’t believe that this exploded the way that it did. It’s a guy working a job to help ensure that he’s supporting his family. On the other hand, I expect that this blew up because wayyyyy too many people think that everyone in acting, music, art, dance have lots and and lots of money. Sure Amy Adams…

You are of course correct. I suspect that I forgot them as I tend to see them as the family she marries into, even though they’re already her family. 

I read Persuasion a few years ago in a book club and the number of people who were all “this isn’t romantic and it’s boring” kind of infuriated me. Anne Elliot is my favorite Austen heroine and the whole of Persuasion makes me wonder what she would’ve written if she hadn’t died when she did.

You’re not wrong. While I think that the Mr Bennett in Lost in Austen is a bit too jovial and nice seeming, I feel like that’s the one ‘adaptation’ that has a grasp on why Mrs Bennett acts the way that she does and knows that Mr Bennett is not that good at being a parent, like when Amanda shows up and says that she’s…

I think that you’re right about Willoughby and I feel like that’s one of big failures of the 2008 miniseries. Dominic Cooper as Willoughby is just too much like Wickham or even like a villain in one of the novels that Catherine Moreland loves to read.

I’ll admit that the laughing you get at Mrs Bennett really clouded my realization that Mr Bennett is a terrible husband and not too wonderful father. It’s kind of no wonder that they ended up with a Lydia and a Mary.

I don’t know what it means that I never felt like Marianne was settling when she married Brandon and yes, I had read the book before seeing the movie so I wasn’t influenced by Rickman.

I think that quirkiness is one of the reasons why so many adaptations don’t get the social standing and homes 100% correct. The only family that I can fathom being in a truly poor place is Fanny’s immediate family and the only family (excluding the families that they marry into of course) that was truly wealthy would…

One of the many reasons why I fucking hated Austenland.

I don’t think that I will ever be able to watch his Mr Palmer without seeing it as a the very beginning of what he’d bring to House.

What I marvel at is the fact that this film is one of 3 Austen books where there is both a feature film and a miniseries and the film is clearly the superior adaptation, even though it doesn’t have the expanded running time. I put this down to the 2 elements the you bring up: Thompson’s great screenplay and Lee’s…

Gah, ok three. It’s just not that huge of a list.
