I was flipping channels last night and Ang Lee's Sense and Sensibility was playing on one of the movie channels. I caught about the last half hour. This is one of those films that I can't help to stop and watch when I catch it. This scene at the end makes me cry every time where Elinor (Emma Thompson), who has been so reserved the whole movie, breaks into loud sobs at hearing that her beloved Edward (Hugh Grant) is not married. I must have seen this part at least 15 or 20 times, and it just makes me weep every time I see it. That watery beaming smile she gives him when he proposes!
Emma Thompson wrote the Oscar winning screenplay to this film, one of my favorites of all time. Plus you've got Alan Rickman playing the romantic Col. Brandon. An interesting trivia note is that Emma Thompson met Greg Wise who played Willoughby during the making of this film, and they later married. Greg Wise reads more Austen on Carte Noire, too.

New Hulk Trailer!
I don't know what to think about the new Hulk movie. I love Tim Roth, and I think he will be a very worthy opponent. The scene in this trailer where Tim Roth says, "Is that all you've got?" -- Love it! Edward Norton is NOT doing press for this movie due to "creative differences" with the producers. They probably went with a more "commercial" version of the film. And Janene, I DO like Eric Bana, but Ang Lee's Hulk film was a disappointment. Hope the negative buzz about Edward Norton's misgivings don't mean this one sucks.
