Important Movie Update

I know we're all on tenterhooks, waiting for Pride and Prejudice and Zombies. In the meantime, I guess we'll have to make due with the faux trailers.

While the Keira Knightley version has its merits the other version has Colin Firth !

Or maybe you can get your Austen fix watching the newest Emma from Masterpiece Theater.

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies

The minutes of our meeting, discussing "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies":

Q: Did you like it?
A: It was fun. I really like that the Aunt got her butt kicked.

Q: Did you hear there'll be a movie? Do you think it'll be better than "Pride and Predator"?
A: Guys'll watch Zombies. It'll be a good date movie. Predator will suck.

Q: Seen the new ipad?
A: Awesome! The name sucks.

Q: How about Avatar?
A: Awesome! The plot sucks.

Q: And Inglourious Basterds?
A: Awesome. But the ending sucks.
Q: Are you crazy?
A: Hey! There's Ryan!
