Episode 24: [JANE-UARY] Dense and Densibility

Continuing Jane-uary (IS IT OVER YET?!), this week we watched the 1995 adaptation of Sense and Sensibility, directed by Ang Lee and starring Emma Thompson, Kate Winslet, Hugh Grant, and Alan Rickman. It also happens to star the real-life Mr. Emma Thompson (Greg Wise) as a truly yucky cad, plus Imelda Staunton (sorry boo, someday I'll remember your name the first time), and Hugh Laurie as pretty minor characters. Overall, a pretty good movie, but as always, bogged down by Jane Austen's circuitous plot lines and more than a few tropes we've seen her trot out just in the three weeks we've been doing this.
