Bean and his hair were the only things that saved that castastrophe known as “Scarlett”.

Sean Bean isn’t really an Austen guy. I see him as more of a Bronte fellow.

NTTAWWT.

But getting back to Austen film adaptations (did Sean ever do an Austen adaptation? Why not forgoodnessake?), as far as Elinor and Marianne are concerned with the latest S&S, the debate seems to be forming along the same old lines as with Ang Lee’s S&S (or in other similar circumstances for that matter). I can certainly see the attraction of Charity Wakefield’s or Kate Winslet’s Marianne. Bedazzling and immediately compelling for sure. But Elinor as Hattie Morahan or Emma Thompson do far more for me from the get go. There’s a quiet elegance and depth there that’s not necessarily readily apparent unless you’re attuned to it. Something that you immediately sense will take some work and time to delve into to full appreciate. And that’s just hawt.

Notwithstanding some of the awful men’s wigs in Emma-1996-TV, I had hoped that the really bad hair ended with the 1970′s adaptations…

Does anyone else think that Col. Brandon’s hairstyle looks too much like a mullet in that pic?

Not a becoming hat! I know that’s what clergymen wear, but they screw up on other things, why not this?
