sense and sensibility

as my brother says, "not again" with a groan. as one of my oldest and dearest friends says, "the perfect movie and the ultimate cure for boredom and depression, with an unfortunate side-effect of procrastination (not that there's anything wrong with that)." and so I succumb to the whims of the damn movie (I really ought to buy it and save myself the rental fees...)

this time, because of feeling crazy and perhaps because of the repeated viewings in the last couple days, with the audio commentary of the wonderful Emma Thompson. Best comment, IMHO, is about Alan Rickman playing Col. Brandon and how the character comes off as this mysterious figure whose past ends up being told in spits and starts throughout the movie: "...though [Alan]'d be mysterious playing the milkman." hee.
