Pride and Prejudice

WHAT IS IT WITH GIRLS AND PRIDE AND PREJUDICE? Seriously? Especially the six hour long version? Enter Colin Firth, whose interpretation on Mr. Darcy has been a hard mold to break.

 I thought the new guy in the Kiera Knightly remake was, meh. See? Even I, who turn up my nose at most Julia Roberts/Reese Witherspoon/Nicholas Sparks movies, even I fall into the trap!

There are countless remakes like Bridget Jones' Diary, the LDS version...even zombies!

That guy looks like a Jane Austen fan for sure!

 And now I give you, my newest find. The Lizzie Bennet Diaries. Quite clever really. I'm really looking forward to watching the second episode. Mr. Bingly? A gay serial killer? The scandal!
This video is the 48th episode. For some reason, probably that I am as tech savvy as MS-DOS is current, this video will not embed episode one. In any case, I'm looking forward to seeing more.

So the time has come to spill What is it for you, that makes Pride and Prejudice (six hours, or not) so appealing? Is it the costumes? Jane Austen's interpretation of men?
