So, I saw Jane Eyre yesterday.

Recipe:

1) Cast the perfect Jane (Mia Wasikowska ILU).

2) Fuck up the rest of the movie by removing any and all instances of joy, leaving only the dreary parts;

don't explain (or totally eliminate) important parts of the story;

give other parts of the story explanations that are entirely NOT the explanations in the book;

spend half of the film's two hours showing characters wandering alone, looking around wistfully/apprehensively at nothing in particular, and saying nothing at all.

Bleh. I have no idea why so many reviews are giving it above-average marks. Wasikowska deserved a better adaptation.

A poll!

In conclusion: Jane Eyre FTW! \o/
