I'm so glad that you enjoyed it! <br />My favorite Emma adaptation is definitely the 2009 miniseries but like you the 1996 (A&E) adaptation was my favorite before that one came out. <br />By the way, I recently sent you a message through blogger and it should show up in your e-mail inbox. I hope you hear from you soon! <br /><br />~Miss Laurie<br />Old-Fashioned Charm :)Miss Laurie of Old-Fashioned Charmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11096222035851269474noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648706431833666913.post-76837448067920384042011-05-15T08:49:56.468-06:002011-05-15T08:49:56.468-06:00That sounds very interesting, I might like to do t...That sounds very interesting, I might like to do that.

Good way to put it. <br /><br />Hey, I was wondering, I'm going to be gone for a while in June. Would you be interested in guest posting on Austenitis? You could do a review, or anything related to Jane Austen or pretty much whatever you want. If you're interested, let me know!Charity Uhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02717998337967392912noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648706431833666913.post-10591624131397507232011-05-10T18:17:06.066-06:002011-05-10T18:17:06.066-06:00Jessica,

You must have accidentally clicked where it says 'free polls'. ;-)<br /><br />Everybody,<br />You know, another thing I liked about the 2009 version, is the relationship between Emma and Frank. After a while, it did seem like they were joking around, teasing, etc. like it said in the book...to others it would appear as flirting, but it was like they had a silent understanding with each other. ;-)Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05676306236172688321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648706431833666913.post-40669512338039173132011-05-10T16:06:22.522-06:002011-05-10T16:06:22.522-06:00@Tristans_Isolde: Agreed, Romola's Emma is de...@Tristans_Isolde: Agreed, Romola's Emma is definitely easier to sympathize with.

I hated all of the versions I had watched before it (A&E,Miramax and 1972)I found the 1972 one a little boring, and the other two were just not close enough to the book, they just didn't develop the character of Emma enough and by the end of the movie I still found her an annoying snob which is not how it is supposed to be! :) but the 2009 version was absolutely gorgeous, I loved every moment, Romola Garai was just wonderful as Emma.<br />I agree with you, Jane Fairfax was not cast right, she was very mousy haha :)Melhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02210949601658438992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648706431833666913.post-18447842781088175632011-05-09T14:44:18.723-06:002011-05-09T14:44:18.723-06:00Oh, and I rather liked the way the new Mr. Knightl...Oh, and I rather liked the way the new Mr. Knightley looked - it suited his character. :)Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05676306236172688321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648706431833666913.post-58087391367792565742011-05-09T14:42:57.948-06:002011-05-09T14:42:57.948-06:00Marian,

Miller was exactly the right age. hehe I think his acting was better (more Knightley-ish). I don't like the Knightley in the A&E one either, but I like the rest of the movie enough for me to tolerate him. :)Melodyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05676306236172688321noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648706431833666913.post-2433199004999617632011-05-09T11:59:09.738-06:002011-05-09T11:59:09.738-06:00Emma is my favorite Jane Austen story, and I just ...Emma is my favorite Jane Austen story, and I just love the 2009 version...great cast, lovely costumes, good music, and a witty script. I've seen it at least twice, but I'd like to see it again, it's that good. :) I also like the '96 Miramax version, because of Jeremy Northam--for years he *was* Mr Knightley to me (now he's at a tie with Miller). Haven't seen the oldest version. I saw the A&E one once, but I can't stand Mr Knightley in that one.Marianhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01693636355638596302noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6648706431833666913.post-35518270421777181322011-05-09T10:46:47.918-06:002011-05-09T10:46:47.918-06:00More expensive than the DVD?

I just got the MP3 album, and put it onto a CD myself. :) (And it's a lot cheaper that way!)

My favorite has to be the most recent one. I haven't seen the dark hair Emma version in a really long time, but I've seen the Gwyneth Paltrow version a second time a couple of months ago. After seeing the newest one and how it took time to tell the story and introduce the characters, the Gwyneth Paltrow version seemed too rushed to me (probably because they didn't have as much time to tell the story).<br /><br />Thanks for the shout-out to my blog!Miss Elizabeth Bennethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02019249086339232260noreply@blogger.com
