Pride and Prejudice

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a group of college students in possession of a lengthy list of must see films, must be in want of time to do anything besides watch them each evening. Four evenings ago, this was once again the case for many of the students at Gator Wesley as we delved into our third movie selection of the summer, Pride and Prejudice. Starring Keira Knightley as Miss Elizabeth Bennet, and Matthew Macfayden as Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy, the movie did not fail to deliver most of the wit, tension, and romance found in the actual novel, while staying as true to Jane Austen's original ideas as a typical length movie could. Equally refreshing was the fact that the movie's soundtrack was composed of more than two grossly overused songs, and its dialogue consisted of more than two grossly overused lines, two of the biggest pitfalls of the last two movies.

David Fuquay says, "I like me some Keira."

Kelly Haskins says, "Nobody listens to Andrew." (Which means, according to Kelly's logic, no one will read this blog post. If you have read this far, you have only helped to further prove Kelly's logic often borders on the illogical. Thank you.)

Angielina says, "Never start a proposal with telling a woman what's wrong with her."

Kellia says to Kelly (via text), "You are the first woman in the world I would ever be prevailed upon to marry."
