Becoming Jane out on DVD (Region 1)
February 13, 2008
Just thought we would mention it.
And we heard a radio advertisement that said it starred “Anne Hathaway as a lovestruck Jane Austen!”
We really shall retire to Bedlam.
We might have a DVD review here eventually. Stay tuned.

I only watched it so I could look at James McAvoy.
Well, that seems a worthy goal. (I am not being sarcastic.)
For me that’s also sort of the only reason I will watch this movie again…
Right. I have decided, in order to survive the onslaught of Bad Austen Adapatations and Bio Films, I’m going to have to come up with an all-purpose drinking game for such things. Just to keep my sanity.
Andy, that sounds like fun…
Jane Austen says a line from one of her letters: take a drink.
Jane Austen says a line from one of her novels: take two drinks.
Jane Austen is shown as a pathetic spinster who never met HEEEERRRRRR Mr. Darcy: chug several glasses.
Anne Hathway’s accent slips: take a swig of beer (no shots for this one, we don’t want you passing out before the movie’s half-over…)
mixed drink of choice every time an actress runs around sans fichu, bosoms heaving
heh, it’s too easy!
This film doesn’t make any sense, because who would walk away from the opportunity to run away with James McAvoy?
Jane Austen was clearly insane.
Can we also take a swig whenever Mr. Wisley proposed or Mrs. Austen demanded Jane get married?
Though I think we’ll all be too tipsy to keep count.
How about a drink for whenever two characters are in the same room but are wearing clothes from two different decades?
Clothes from different decades? That happened at my house this morning … and when I get home tonight, I guess I’ll have a drink!
LOL. (one of the many adaptations with varied clothing!)
I am going to swig when Jane does American sign language with her brother George.
@ #6:
You’d certainly get drunk doing that during an all-day viewing of P&P95! Lydia and Lizzy’s (very) ample bosoms are on display throughout the whole series and were always sans fichu. Doing it at night is one thing, but they did it during the daytime too.
Saw it for the first time this past weekend. Probably a good thing I wasn’t drinking because I would have spewed it all over the livingroom carpet and upset the dog when Mrs. Austen hollered about digging her own damn potatoes;)
Most of the time I made it through by chanting under my breath, “it didn’t happen, it didn’t happen, it didn’t happen…”
