I just don’t understand them. I am so confused by them.
Why do programs like Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibility engender such emotional reactions? Why the allure, the attraction, the repetitive viewing?
I’m willing to listen. I’m willing to learn. Please, for the love of everything I hold dear, someone explain to me the reason these programs exist and why women love them so.

By the mere event of asking the question shows that you know nothing of women… It is all in the beauty of the language, my dear. For example,
“You are mistaken, Mr. Darcy, if you suppose that the mode of your declaration affected me in any other way, than as it spared me the concern which I might have felt in refusing you, had you behaved in a more gentleman-like manner”
That is what I call a zinger!

Do not dwell nor ponder these perplexities of the woman’s possessed mind. Flee, run till your heart bursts forth from your heaving bosom and you find yourself at rivers edge, and fish my friend. Fish.

I’ve seen neither, but did you ask Beth? It probably has something to do with ccvhox.

Do these programs air on ESPN, Discovery, or the History Channel?
If not, you ladies may want to consider tuning in to the History Channel to watch the award winning program, “Sofajcgo.”
The wv highly recommends it.

But Beth, dear Beth, the language in guys’ movies is just as poetic.
To wit:
“Get back to Cairo. Get us some transport to England. Boat…plane…anything. Meet me at Omar’s. Be ready for me. I’m going after that truck.”
“How, Indy?”
“I don’t know, I’m making this up as I go….”
See? Poetic.

Hey Randy!! Just found your blog—through Brady’s. Both of you crack me up. Anyway, in reference to Pride and Predjudice, I can’t offer you an answer but only a confirmation that it does in deed engender a HUGE EMOTIONAL REACTION. I had never read it, seen it, or anything. But I have now seen the movie twice and told Brian it was one of the best movies I have seen in years and years—and we’re big movie watchers. The language and acting are beautiful—in a way that you don’t see anymore. And yet the story is so basic. It’s wonderful and I WILL own this recent version and watch it over and over and over. It makes you want to fall in love all over again.
