He says that like it’s a bad thing

Filed under: Jane in the News — Mags @ 9:42 am

Alert Janeite Allison T sent us a link to an article from the Eye Weekly proposing an all-Austen television network. Sounds like a grand idea to us!

# Movie: * Emma Pinochet (1996, Comedy) Courtney Cox, Tom Bosley. Beautiful young girl imitates dictator father by bossing her friends around. When a peasant proposes to her girlfriend, Emma has him flown over the Pacific in a helicopter and thrown to the sharks. She eventually learns the error of her bossy ways, and marries her father’s security advisor. Directed by Amy Heckerling. (To 9:45 p.m.) 85672

We would watch that.

# Movie: ** Pride And Prejudice XXIV: Massacre At Longbourn High (1996, Horror) Jennifer Cooke, Thom Matthews. Lizzie discovers Wickham hiding in the girl’s changeroom, wearing a hockey mask and carrying a chainsaw dripping with fresh blood. Wickham claims he is there to catch Darcy, the captain of the football team, who has been murdering the cheerleaders of Longbourn High. Directed by Tom McLoughlin. (To 6:30 a.m.) 31184729

    Hilarious! I love Darcy as a cheerleader-offing football captain. ROFL

    That sounds hilarious! I would definately watch.

    “Pride And Prejudice XXI: Black Wedding (1996, Horror) Margot Kidder, John Saxon. Upset that Elizabeth Bennet has spurned his marriage proposals, Mr. Collins hides in the cellar of Longbourn, killing off her sisters with a rusty axe. Directed by Bob Clark (To 3 a.m.)”

    haha…I think I found that one a bit too funny.

    It’s “LizzY,” NOT “LizzIE.” *headdesk* ;)
