Rejoicing in the inferiority of one's connections

Watched Pride and Prejudice. This of course required rewinding several scenes about three times. With the chant of '1, 2, 3, KNEE' during Bingley's proposal. I'm not sure if this means that I've watched this or the Emma Thompson Sense and Sensibility too much. It's one of them. Then, because I was feeling masochistic, I watched the US ending. and then went into catatonic 'AUGH' mode, rocking back and forth. Just so wrong. Wronger than I remember. Mind you, I'd forgotten how long the tracking shots are in this - some masterpieces of timing in this, since they move from room to room and all the characters move in and out of the shot. must track down some more Joe Wright films to see how much he does this. And to see if he ever defeats Serenity for ridiculously long tracking shot.

I watched the US ending

??

I was not aware there was more than one ending. Which P&P, the Matthew Macfadyen one, or the Colin Firth one?

macfadyen. they put it in as an extra on the Region 2s, don't now about region 1. apparently test audiences in the US didn't get whether Lizzie had said yes, or that they'd got togehter.
