Movie night: Pride and Prejudice!

Scotter is out tonight at frisbee so I'm home with a baby monitor buzzing white noise at me...

I took the evening to watch Pride and Prejudice, the version with Keira Knightly.  I will start by saying that I love her!  She just has such a unique look about her and I feel like she can really say a lot with her expressions.  And let me tell you, the actor that played Mr. Darcy, James McFayden, is a serious John Cusack lookalike, but younger and maybe a little more sincere. (I think that is how I would put it.) They kept showing his blue eyes, so while he has this dark complexion like Cusack, his eyes make him look a little less intense. 

I was worried this version wasn't going to live up to my expectations, but it did!  Now I need to watch the version with Colin Firth.  All the stills I have seen make him look so young, I can't wait to see it.  Mr. Darcy is just so dreamy in general.  I'm not going to lie... there is something great about a serious man. 

There was a scene at the end of this movie that I did find interesting.  I wanted to hate it because it wasn't in the book, but it was so disarming and sweet, I found myself smiling.   (I'm trying the thing where I put the font in white, so that to read it you have to highlight it, I've gotten in trouble for ruining things for people so I'm doing what I can, people!) SPOILER: They had the main characters sitting together talking about what nicknames Mr. Darcy could call Elizabeth, and he said that he would call her Mrs. Darcy when he was "cross" with her.  She said no, that he could only call her Mrs. Darcy when he was the most happy.  So he proceeded to say "Mrs. Darcy," and kiss her ear, "Mrs. Darcy," and kiss her forehead...etc.  *sigh* it was very sweet.  

Lastly, Have you ever watched a movie all the way through and then spontaneously decided to watch all of the director commentary cut right afterward?  I watched about the first 45 minutes and then got so self-conscious about it!  I should have just finished it.  If anyone has done this and cares to comment please let me know what movie would be good/interesting enough to watch the commentary.  (I have done that for TV shows before.)

Describe (in words or photos) your favorite reading space.

No photo for this post, because I love to read in our closet!  I don't really want you all to see our mess of clothes and shoes in there.

We moved into the most amazing house this year, and the master closet is super spacious.  I found out the other day that sitting on the floor in there is the perfect spot to read.  I am situated nicely under the windows so I get good natural sunlight,  I nurse my baby in there sometimes after his bath, so our extra boppy pillow is in there (also good for an impromptu nap on the floor, which is how the mister found me the other day...drooling, I might add....) and there is nothing to distract me really!  I find when I sit down to read downstairs I see the laundry or the dishes close by and get off track.  If I'm secluded upstairs I don't see the things I need to do as much and will actually enjoy my good quiet reading time.  Everything gets a little neglected, but when you are reading a book like Pride and Prejudice, it's worth it! Am I right, or am I right?
