Chapter 7 of the video game “Spider-Man 2: The Game” is entitled…drum roll please…”Pride and Prejudice.”
According to my Twelve-Year-Old Xbox Expert, the chapter’s title refers to the foibles of the chapter’s villain, Quentin Beck. The Evil Mr. Beck, “an arrogant special effects guru,” is dangerously proud of his great FX work in Hollywood and irrationally prejudiced against Spider-Man, insisting he’s a fake.
So now we know where hungry English Lit majors end up.
Baz Bamigboye, writing for the Daily Mail, does his best to keep us up-to-date on Miss Keira Knightley’s many glamorous comings and goings. In the middle of it all, he delivers this reassurance to Janeites everywhere:
Yet another of Keira’s pictures, Pride And Prejudice, opens in the autumn. Those who have seen a rough cut of Joe Wright’s film have told me it’s a cracking movie - Keira and Matthew MacFadyen as Mr Darcy are said to be sublime.
For the American readers of AustenBlog: If something is cracking, it means it is the best. But you probably already knew that, right?
