"Come on, it’s common sense. Jaws is a fantastic film. Maybe the second film I saw in my life — I saw The Gumball Rally prior to Jaws — but Jaws is the first one that made a deep, deep impression. I saw it a drive-in with my parents when I was five, which is kinda weird in retrospective. It was PG at the time. My kid’s nine and my wife still won’t let me show her Jaws. I made the mistake of showing my kid Gremlins when she was six and I have heard no end of it from my old lady. She’s all, “She’s still afraid of Gremlins.” Gremlins is a harmless f–king movie."

Stephin Merritt recommended More Bawdy Cockney Songs, Vol. II by Elsa Lanchester in Music (curated)

"True, other Elsa Lanchester albums have her husband Charles Laughton introducing each track, but only this one has both "When a Lady Has a Piazza" and "If You Peek in My Gazebo." Lanchester, most famous for playing the Bride of Frankenstein (technically, the bride of Frankenstein's monster) and Laughton's wife in Witness For The Prosecution, has an actor's voice, with perfect stage-Cockney enunci-OY-tion, which is perfect for this material. "Please sell no more drink to my father. It makes him so strange and so wild. Heed the prayer of my heart-broken mother, and pity the poor drunkard's child." She sings this with such relish, it's easy to see whose side she's really on. "

BookInspector (124 KP) rated Pride and Prejudice in Books

Sep 24, 2020

The protagonist of this book is Elizabeth Bennet, one of five daughters of a middle-class family in a little village in England. Her mother’s ultimate goal is to marry off her daughters, but Elizabeth is not in a rush. I really liked Elizabeth in this book, she is a very strong-willed and sensible young lady. I really loved the way Jane Austen picked the characters for this novel, they are very well developed and very intriguing. I think Mr Darcy is an absolute twit, but with a golden heart. If he would exist in reality, I have no idea how a woman would understand this man. HE IS SO FRUSTRATINGLY COMPLICATED
