Pride & Prejudice (2005)

[00:00:00] I apologize and not accepted. Hi, I'm Brian and I love 2005 adaptations of Jane Austin. I'm Brian. I like 20,005. Jane Austin adaptations of Jane Austin. I'm Daniel and I like the year 20,005 adaptations of Jane Austin and this is the Deck The Hallmark Podcast. Deck The Hallmark is his podcast.

[00:00:33] No, just one though. We can't have 15. It's going up in there. Check under your chair. Oh boy. Wow, hello everybody. Austin Month continues. Yes, it does. Just because February is over we're in the March. New Month same us. Yeah, exactly right.

[00:00:58] Jane Austin to set this day up, here's how we did it. One, obviously no new Hallmark movie. What are we to do? No new mystery either. No new mystery. No nothing. And so we decided let's continue Jane Austin Month because we loved it so much.

[00:01:16] And so what we did is in the Double Decker group if you want to join, you can join bramblejampplus.com at the Double Decker tier or higher. You get invited to this Facebook group. We have so much fun in this Facebook group.

[00:01:26] But we threw it up there. Which Jane Austin movie would you like us to review and overwhelmingly clueless. Pride and Prejudice wasn't counted because we'd already done it for take it to the tank. Pride and Prejudice 2005, Kira Knightley and the gang saw him live. So good.

[00:01:47] She was a busy bee in the mid 2000s. Yeah, firey, curvy, yeah. How about that? Atonement. Did this take her off? And by that I mean jump start a career. Did this take her off? Terrible. But Pirates of the Caribbean was out before this movie. It was.

[00:02:02] Yes, yeah. Pirates of the Caribbean was three or four years before this. And then I believe Atonement is the next Joe Wright movie she makes after this one. So this is 05, Atonement is 07. And she's making the Pirates movies. So Joe Wright was a fan.

[00:02:14] Joe Wright worked with her several times. Yes, absolutely. Well we'll talk about it. We'll have a lot of fun I'm sure. And we'll see how it compares to what Hallmark was doing. Yeah, no, no. I'm sure it's six and one half dozen others. It's just you know.

[00:02:28] But it is Tuesday. We're having a good time. Brian, how was your weekend buddy? Did you do anything this weekend? It was nice. You know what I did for the first time in my household? We had a double play date. Both of my boys had friends over.

[00:02:40] What did you say? Like a double play date. You were making it up as it went on. I don't want to lose anybody. You're so, you're so expressive. The next word is play. Double play. Double play date. Double play date.

[00:02:54] Both boys had friends over and they were ours. Different friends. Wow. Yeah. And we only had like two big, you know, clashes of like, that's my stuff. Don't touch it. Only two. And how many hours? It was just like, well one of them hung around for like three

[00:03:10] or four. The other was there like six or seven. Oh, wow. I was there for a while. And only two clashes. Yeah, it worked out pretty good. So I think we'll do that again. Okay. I think we'll do that again sometime. Yeah, it was pretty fun.

[00:03:22] I love that. Yeah, man. Thanks for inviting us. Yeah, I think that will make quadruple might be maybe double it up. A quad play date. Maybe we bump it up to a couple more kids. Right. Maybe two and two. Just get that kid count up.

[00:03:38] Yeah, get the kid count up. Do what you want. Then how was your weekend? It was great. You were, Brandon, you told me you were going to watch Dune this weekend because I saw the sequel and it was amazing. And the first Dune is really, really boring.

[00:03:47] And you're like, I'm going to watch it. So I go, yeah. And you opened up Max and you got sidetracked by rookie of the year. Yeah, I did. And you're texting me about rookie of the year. And it's, I'll let you tell that story.

[00:04:00] Well, it's just, it's just an amazing movie. Obviously I haven't seen it in many years. I can quote it. Yes. The thing about the movie that I forgot about is just how grotesque the sound is when he, when he it is a awful sound. It was a choice.

[00:04:20] Tendon's heel ties. I would say that it is Gary Busey's best performance. It is insane. So good to watch Gary Busey in that and also watch him on Gary Busey Pet Judge, which we cover on Yo Gavel Gavill, which by the way, Yo Gavel Gavill's back.

[00:04:35] If you want to go ahead and so re-subscribe. Please do. Leave us a rating review. That helps people. The past episode is about a person who gets a tattoo that says I love granny porn on their person. And so, I mean, you're not, yeah, a great episode.

[00:04:53] We'll get that Aaron Campbell. We're going to look at it. A great episode of Yo Gavel Gavill. Gary Busey crushes in rookie of the year. But it's insane. I don't know what happened. It like, I feel he's giving a performance when he,

[00:05:07] when he, the last pitch, the, when he's like, Oh yeah. I feel his shoulder come out. Like I'm like, I'm there with him in that moment. What's so funny about that movie though? And it's something I obviously never noticed because I watched it when I was a kid.

[00:05:20] But Gary Busey, the rocket is like, Oh, he doesn't have it anymore. But the first game that rookie of the year comes to play, he comes in to, to save the game. That's right. Rocket is up. He gives up like rookie gives up a couple runs. That's right.

[00:05:39] And they still win the game. The rocket for best for my estimation, correct. Pitched until the ninth inning and had, they were up three, but also like there's a direct, like Roger Clemens was so big in the nineties and his, he was called the rocket.

[00:05:57] And so it was just such an easy, and Gary Busey is so normal in the movie. So normal. And then you got, but can you imagine? Oh my gosh. Can you imagine a beloved, a beloved pitcher, a beloved pitcher going nine innings, going nine innings,

[00:06:15] winning the game and everybody going, he doesn't have it anymore. He didn't have it anymore. He didn't have it anymore. That's right. A great movie though. It's a great finale. Gary, you're texting me about it. And at nine 15, I went to sleep on Friday night

[00:06:27] because I was just throwing a rager. And I woke up at nine a.m. Saturday morning and it was one of the best nights of sleep I've had in my adult life. I mean, you just said that like last week. It was just a recurring.

[00:06:37] Keep having the best. It was so great. Oh man. It is. It's just good to be alive. So jealous. So right? Also on Sunday night, I watched Sting's final match and it was, he's retiring. Amazing. An amazing match. An amazing match. Shout out to Sting.

[00:06:55] Shout out to Stinger. Big listen to the rock. He is the wrestling version of the rock. We're trying to get, how dare you? Well, I'm just saying at this point, I didn't do more for the rocket or Sting, but they both deserve better.

[00:07:07] I'm just saying at this point in his career, no, at this point in his career, he's just like, give me one more. He got thrown through glass. It was great. Yeah. Got thrown through multiple tables. Man. What's crazy also about Sting is Sting is like

[00:07:19] 63 or 64 or something like that. He gets thrown through multiple tables. He gets thrown through glass. And then he picks up a mic and he talks like he's not winded. And I'm like, bro, I walked down my stairs in the morning and I'm like, yeah,

[00:07:31] like give me a few minutes to collect myself. So like shot it to the stinger. He's a pro. Pride and prejudice. Let's talk. Everyone that's here for that review is probably left by now, but we have more pride and prejudice. Little giants. What a film. Oh my gosh.

[00:07:45] That's actually on my list. I need to rookie of the years way better than little giants. I've only seen little giants like twice. I've seen Ricky the year a dozen times there. Like, man, some great scenes. Sting is 72 years old. Oh my gosh. Wow. Is he really?

[00:07:58] I don't think he's 72. Pretty sure he's in his 60s. 10 years ago. 64. He's 64. I think Rick, Rick Flair is 72. I think. I think. Go ahead. Yeah. Where were originally aired at Tiff on September 11th, 2005 United Kingdom September 16th. We don't need this.

[00:08:18] The United States didn't get it until November. Yeah. Toronto International 11 United Kingdom though is over there just having it. For for I'm just saying Dan for months. We should still get it. America. Why are you not America first in the situation? You're America first in any situation.

[00:08:37] So he said, you said, you said America first. Now you're over there trying to be like, Oh, I don't care what ever. Okay. Then France then get until January of 2000. That makes all the sense in the world. They didn't want it.

[00:08:51] I heard what a little something like this. The movie kicks off with a singer sting is 70 years old. That's who she was. I thought we were talking about the singer. So through glass through glass. It was a wild show.

[00:09:06] The movie kicks off with he sent it out an SOS. Go ahead. Movie kicks off with a meadow, some piano and Kira Knightley. And this particular film is very important. Very important. Sure. In this particular film, her name is Elizabeth Bennett.

[00:09:24] If you can believe that I was actually like, did I get that name right? She reads, she walks, she walks and reads at the same time. She gets home and notices her sisters are all like listening in on what dad's talking about.

[00:09:39] Dad's spilling the news that a big old Lord money bags is moving into town and is looking for a new boo thing. The girls are pumped because there's a ball coming up and he might be coming is going to be a big deal.

[00:09:51] There's a ball coming up and he might be coming. His name is Charles Bigley as Brian said earlier, or Bingley for everybody else. And he shows up and he brings his pal Mr. Darcy along with him. Elizabeth. Correct. No, I don't think so.

[00:10:09] But I'll see at this point. I'm sure you show up. Yes. Elizabeth and the Bennett's they go and they're all introducing themselves to them. Bingley seems plenty happy to talk to them Darcy. Not so much yet. Elizabeth finds Mr Darcy all the more interesting.

[00:10:25] What's up with this guy? He's a bit of a grump. She tries to talk to him. He ain't having it. Then she overhears him talking to Bingley saying Elizabeth is fine but not handsome enough to tempt him, which is interesting seeing as how he creeps on her

[00:10:40] the rest of the night. Bingley and Elizabeth sister Jane hit it off real good. Real bigly you might say Brian said so much so that he invites her to come visit him on horseback. It rains though and she gets sick as you do.

[00:10:56] This movie is actually why when I was a kid I wasn't allowed to play in the rain. Am I? It was this movie? Yeah, it was this movie. You were 13 when it came out. Yeah, I know. So before you were 13 you could play in the rain a lot

[00:11:07] and then I could do whatever I wanted. When you were a teenager because of pride and pride and the shot. The immune system gets sensitive. That's where it gets sensitive right then. Right? Elizabeth goes to visit her and when Darcy sees her she's like, yes please.

[00:11:21] When the opportunity presents itself for him to touch her hand, he takes it. And the world collectively swooned first at Tiff, then in the UK, then America, in that order, and then finally France. Yes of course. So their cousin, Mr. Collins shows up and everybody is like

[00:11:38] hey what's up man? Finally. Since we find out that since he's the next dude in the family, once big boss man Bennett dies, he's going to inherit the estate. He makes it known that he fancies his cousin Jane, you know, Alabama Shake style.

[00:11:54] When he finds out that she is soon to be engaged, she's like alright next man down, I guess Elizabeth will have to do. Then soldier boy tell him shows up. Elizabeth is like well he's cute too. Look at that butt. So when, so many cute boys and cousins,

[00:12:12] so little time, what are we going to do? So at the next ball, It's an East Tennessee problem if I've ever heard of it. Absolutely. So Collins asks Elizabeth to dance at the next ball. Darcy sees this and is like ew that's your cousin.

[00:12:26] He doesn't say that but I think we're all thinking it. Also let's dance next time. So they're dancing, they're talking, they're dancing and talking at the same time, but maybe they shouldn't have talked because it wasn't great. It was a little bit of attention there.

[00:12:40] So the next day Collins shows up and gives Elizabeth a flower and we all know what that means. You're challenged to a game of operation, just kidding. It means I love you, I want you to be my wife. You're challenged to a game of operation.

[00:12:52] Yes, it means I love you. I want you to be my wife. She's like yes to the operation, no to the marriage thing because ew you're my cousin. Then Bigley, the Bigley clan leaves for London and Elizabeth encourages Jane to visit him in London.

[00:13:08] Well go visit family in London. Of course. We all know what that means. The next bit of this movie is Elizabeth spinning on what I could best describe as a tire swing. I don't think it was a tire swing, but the movement of the spin

[00:13:22] did mirror what I have experienced on a tire swing. Six pints down the Richard point in the background. She does this for, I don't know, it could have been a long time, it could have been a short time. Too many spins for me.

[00:13:36] A rumor has it she's still spinning to this day. She goes to check out the biz big castle thing Darcy's there, which is neat. The next day he comes and proposes and she's like, nah, trick. You tried to separate my sister from Bigley.

[00:13:51] You were mean to the hot military boy with a nice butt and you're a real do-do head. He's like, what? You kidding me right now? Leaves her a letter though that says hot military boy with a nice butt. Actually, he's the do-do head.

[00:14:08] He hurt my family a lot. Not a fine fellow. Game of money. Yeah, yeah, yeah. But she bumps into Darcy again when she goes to Pemberley Manor known of course for their Christmas carnivals. While there, while there and a letter shows up from Jane letting her know

[00:14:29] that Lydia, the youngest, has run off with Wickham, the military boy with a nice butt. Darcy leaves immediately. He's like, I got it. I got it. Elizabeth's like, okay, bye. Some time passes and they get word that Lydia and Wickham that they are now married

[00:14:48] and it turns out Darcy paid for their wedding and also gave him some money. So, cool. I don't know. Bigley shows up one day and asks Jane to marry and she's like, what have you been waiting for? So like now Elizabeth is down with Darcy. But uh-oh,

[00:15:05] the weird old lady from earlier shows up and it's like hey, he's been promised to someone else from birth. So get out of here. Darcy's like, I don't even want that though. I want you. So they go to talk to her dad.

[00:15:17] He says, if you do truly love him, then I will give you my consent. She says that she does. He says okay. And then he goes to start the Hunger Games. The movie ends with Elizabeth and Darcy sitting on a rock. My guy is double knees down.

[00:15:31] I gotta be honest. My knees hurt looking at him. And he whispers, Mrs. Darcy, like three times too many for my money, three times too many. But they do kiss and now my friends was Pride and Prejudice! To Winnie, 005! That's exactly right.

[00:15:51] The Pride and Prejudice is the dip in dots of Pride and Prejudice. With the Bigleys. That's right. Erin, how'd I do? How was my synopsis? Did I get everything okay? I really enjoyed that synopsis. Great. It was really well done. Perfect. Alabama Shake Style.

[00:16:05] Let's take a quick break. We'll come back. We'll break this movie down here on DECK THE HALL MARK! Hello everybody, welcome back. We're having a good time. We're talking about another J-NOS in adaptation. We were having so much fun in February.

[00:16:26] You know, February is the shortest month, Brandon. Yes. We wanted to make sure we got the most out of J-NOS. That's exactly right. Well let's do this. Let's break it down. I think we should do it with four segments if you guys... I love it. I agree.

[00:16:38] And let's start with the hot take. It's where we share exactly how we felt about the movie. We do not hold back. And we will start with Mr. Bigley himself. Thank you. Brian, what did you think of Pride and Prejudice 2005? Yeah, 2005.

[00:16:52] I end up really liking this version of this movie. I thought that it was really, really great writing. I was like, oh, I'm going to write it. I'm going to write it. I'm going to write it. I'm going to write it. I'm going to write it.

[00:17:03] I'm going to write it. I'm going to write it. I'm going to write it. I'm going to write it. I'm going to write it. And what's going on with my next three segments? I'm going to get started writing.

[00:17:12] I was surprised at how rude they were to each other. Like they were insulting and sarcastic. And I wasn't expecting that so much in this. So I thought that was really cool. Tension was coming off the screen where it was supposed to.

[00:17:23] And so I thought that was really great. And I immediately put on succession afterwards for more Matthew McFadion. McFadion. And some others. Yeah, yeah, yeah. So I had a good old time. Thank you, Brian. You're welcome.

[00:17:35] Brian, I have made it known that I see breaches and I breach on out. And for good reason, I think, Hallmark has taught me that I was right in my thoughts on breaches and this sort of thing.

[00:17:53] But I went into 2005 Pride and Prejudice knowing that I had to watch it, knowing that it was over two hours. And so I decided I would text my boo thing and say, hey, wife, I know you like this movie. Would you like to watch it with me?

[00:18:10] She said I would love to watch it with you. So we got home from date night and we put it on and she fell asleep. But I stayed awake. Because you had to write us an office. And I had to write us an office. That's right.

[00:18:24] You were working. While this is not a movie I would ever select to watch again under almost any circumstance. Give me rookie of the year. I it was the best of the things I've seen over the past month.

[00:18:38] And I don't know if that's a bold statement, but obviously the performances in this movie were wonderful. I I don't know. This isn't like like my wife is like this movie so romantic. And I guess I get it. But also like everyone's just kind of like.

[00:18:57] So I don't know. It's not for me, but it is the best of the things that I've seen this over the past month. And for that, I say thank you because I would have hated for. February to end and me not like any of any. So that's good.

[00:19:16] That's good. So shut up like just a random Hallmark Christmas movie 100 percent. I would any day of the week and twice on Sunday, in fact. And then during the holiday season, I do. I do. I do twice on Saturday. But yeah, it's fine. It's good. Great performances.

[00:19:30] Obviously, Kira Knightley is a national treasure. She's lovely in this movie. And so is so many other actors. Great to see the Hunger Games guy. I know he has a bigger swan. Original Sony D. But Keifer's dad. Keifer's Keifer. Keifer Keifer's dad. Yeah, it's good.

[00:19:49] It's a good movie, OK? Sure. It's a good movie, but also never again. Dan, this movie is great, unequivocally great. It's not the first time I've seen it. It's the best Jane Austen adaptation of any kind that I've ever seen. And I think there are three reasons why.

[00:20:05] Number one, the cast. I didn't realize I'd forgotten how good this cast is. Rosamund Pike, Kerry Mulligan, Kelly Riley. Shows up for a while. Matthew McFadden is great. Kira Knightley is just. Oh, my goodness, she's unbelievable in this movie.

[00:20:21] I think even more important, the direction of Joe Wright. It is the way that he uses light in this movie is it makes this feel like it's fresh and original and not a story we've heard a thousand times. He starts with the sunrise.

[00:20:37] And aside from that last weird scene that Bram was talking about, the movie would also end with a sunrise, which is just perfection. The way that light is introduced in between the two characters is phenomenal. The way that light shines off of typically like a silhouette of Kira

[00:20:54] Knightley, very impressive. The way he moves the camera around it is like, like if you know, there's a lot of walk and talks in this movie. All of that works to like great effect because it doesn't feel like it's stagnant and still.

[00:21:08] But certainly, and I'm going to quote a film critic that's been on our show, William Bibiani, who says faithful adaptations are boring. Basically taking the mechanics of a story and just like redistributing them under your brand name doesn't really make anything better or even good.

[00:21:27] Making something your own typically means taking out things you don't like, changing things about it and retaining the soul of what that thing is. And when I was watching this weekend, what I realized is, is like, why does this feel less formal to me?

[00:21:42] Like, why does everything about this feel less formal than any other Jane Austin adaptation I've ever seen? Why do the dances feel like they're taking place in more like just rustic, rural town halls and not like where everything's got all this crystal. The twerking was a little unnecessary.

[00:21:59] The twerking was unnecessary, but we ahead of its time. Yeah, ahead of its time for sure. Why does all of it feel as though like, why does Elizabeth Bennett feel like she's like feistier and like even when she's wrong, she like speaks her mind.

[00:22:12] And then when she's right, she speaks her mind and she like, you know, talks back to her father and like, why is this the story? And then I did, you know, I read the story in high school from what I remember

[00:22:24] and I remember it being like this, but it turns out that Joe Wright changed a lot of the book. He moved the story about 25 years earlier, got it out of the Regency Era. That's why the costumes look different.

[00:22:34] He made the Bennets a little poorer, which means their house is run down and it's in kind of more of a rural area of England. And I think these changes really do liven up a story that we've heard.

[00:22:47] And so amazing cast, amazing direction and an adaptation that decides to do its own thing. I think those three things make this like really great. Like it's a really great movie, especially after watching Four Hallmarks. I think this movie is fantastic. Big, big fame.

[00:23:04] It's time for all the fields where we talk about what this movie gave us feels. Brian. Yeah. The, the scenes where they had like girl talk at bedtime. It feels a little weird to say it, but one more time from the top.

[00:23:16] We didn't get that brought one game. Girl talk at bedtime was really well done. I feel like it's not as creepy as it sounds. Everybody okay. They, I feel like when they were the two sisters, Lizzie or sister were in bed

[00:23:31] and they would talk about stuff that was going on, that did a lot for moving forward like the emotional or communicating the emotional feelings of the individual character. And it was, you saw lots of changes.

[00:23:44] And you like even the point where she was, she said one word in bed. Like, did you see Darcy? And she said no. And she was just crying. And it was just like, it communicated so much. And so those scenes were really, really great.

[00:23:54] I thought it was a tough, it was tough because it was between this and the dancing. And I just, I feel like they The twerking bothered you. No, no, no, it was, I thought it was quite the contrary. I thought it was really well done.

[00:24:07] The lighting of course. Yeah, the light was so yeah, it was those emotional moments with between the sisters. Silhouette is the lighting. I think that Dan talked about with this movie. Yeah, so yeah. I saw but silhouette live. You did. Yeah, interesting choice.

[00:24:20] But I mean, when you, when you, I would say if you want a heavy metal concert, then you should go to see the but so good advice. Yeah, I the end of the movie. While again, as I mentioned, three too many Mrs.

[00:24:36] Darcy's at the end, but obviously them there together, the sun coming through was very nice. It's a nice, it's a nice shot. And that was the only thing in this movie like it's really so, so, so romantic, I guess.

[00:24:53] But that was the only thing that made me go, that's really nice. That's cute. That's sweet. Dana, there are a lot of scenes in this movie that because of how they're shot or very like iconic scenes proposal in the rain proposal at sunset into the movie.

[00:25:08] My favorite scene in this movie has virtually no light in it at all. It is Judy Dench and Kira Knightley in an acting showcase for the ages. Like Dame Judy Dench is like has more gravitas than anyone

[00:25:22] and she is in this scene basically like you have to tell me you're never going to marry this dude. You have to do it right now because you're a lower class than me and Kira Knightley just like Bennett just goes toe to toe with her.

[00:25:33] It's a phenomenally written and acted scene and like it is edge of your seat stuff easily, easily all the fields. Do you think you'll ever get Dame status? No, I'm going shooting for it. You're blacklisted aren't you? I'm blacklisted. The dames didn't blacklist me for what?

[00:25:48] I don't know. You don't know. I got the letter. I got the blacklist letter in the mail. They didn't tell me why. I just said you're there. I don't know. I don't know. They're required by a lot to give you the reason. Really? What law is that?

[00:26:01] The Dame Law. The Dame Law. Yes, the Dame Law. When they when it's time it's the time. But it was and it went as I just don't know. It's just it's not for me. Maybe I didn't even call him.

[00:26:11] You want me to call him over the break and we'll get back and we'll find out why you can't be Dame here. I decked all these comments. Dan, what's up? What's going on? Did you find out? I didn't find out much of anything.

[00:26:37] I got sent to a voicemail. Yeah, and then they called me back and they just said. You've reached the Dame Society. We're unable to answer your call because we're either eaten, smooching or all of the above. Please leave a message after beep.

[00:26:56] OK, so in that clip, a couple of interesting things. First of all, the Dame's way more southern than I thought they were. I think it was just a recording. They paid for their eating or smooching or both or both all the above or all of the above.

[00:27:11] And that's another interesting voice mail. Hi, Dame Society. Just want to know you send me a letter that I was blacklisted and, you know, I just want to I just want to get a little bit more info. I heard that you had to send me by law.

[00:27:26] I love. So I wanted to jump in. You were on the call. Hey, he's in the background. He's here for you. You were on the call. I love the day. Amen. By law. It would be nice to have a day here in the office.

[00:27:41] I hope we get a word back. So for the wait, what is where we talk about what this was? I mean, that sunrise. Are you kidding me right now? Can you go sunrise in the West East like that? You can just say. An unbelievable. Unbelievable.

[00:27:57] You think that you can. You can't. No. Brian. Yeah. What you got the mail was super efficient. I feel like it just letters were just popping up right on time. Yeah. Oh, yeah. That was so I don't know how that works. Nailed it.

[00:28:10] The post is pretty good over there. This this is how you ball this movie. This is how you ball. This is the dancing. How you ball. The dancing in this like I got why they did it in the homework workings. Right. The lighting.

[00:28:28] The the dancing in the homework versions is. It's so lame, but in this one it was so fun. But some of that is like Regency period dancing versus what this is, which is 79. Like some of it is the fact that he's like, hey, Jane

[00:28:45] Austin's movies are all set in the same time window. I'm going to make it. It would be like making a movie about your teenage life. But instead of setting it in 2007, yeah, I mean, instead of setting it in 1999, setting it in 1972.

[00:28:58] Imagine the difference like all of a sudden everybody's disco like what's going on with the like part of that is the decision he made to basically just not be faithful to the what the story is set. Yeah. I think that's a huge deal. Yeah. No, it does.

[00:29:15] That makes a big difference. But it was it was seemed really fun and it just made me think like what the heck like make it more fun in the other movies. Like it's it seemed like a good old time.

[00:29:24] And the last one was she keeps calling her husband, Mr. Bennett and it was just like weird, like weird. Yeah, we are like you guys don't make your wife's call. You know, I don't. I don't. She's Diana started. She was like, what if I called you Mr. Harold?

[00:29:39] I was just like, just knock it off. Like it's so weird. It's just so weird. So just continuing with the woman in your life calling me Mr. Thompson. Yeah, that'd be weird, brain. Be weird. It's the first time. That's a nice ring to it.

[00:29:50] But it would be weird. I'm going to sound Mr. Thompson. Mr. Thompson. Can't believe that came up if my wife called me Mr. Thompson. Now we're talking. Yes. Yes, 100%. Mr. Harold. Regardless, Mr. Harold, you sound like you work at a new striper. Thank you. Mr. Gray boring.

[00:30:05] Mr. Thompson. Different. I have a few one. This is not really a wait what it was just a thought that I had, which is I am so thankful to live in a time where I can watch this movie instead of doing what they're doing, which is just like

[00:30:27] play me a song on the piano so I can be entertained. Like oh, just be a little kid. You oh my gosh. Can you imagine that the most exciting thing in your life is maybe today someone will play the piano for me? Oh my gosh.

[00:30:44] Thank God I get to watch a movie. Yeah. What about when they were allowed for two hours? Huh? What about when they were allowed to each other for hours? Oh my goodness. You think the movie is boring? Imagine living in it. Like that's that's another level.

[00:30:59] I don't know what you want from me, but I'm not going to watch this movie and not bring this quote to the table quote. I may observe that private balls are much pleasanter than public ones. What do you want from me? Last but not least, everyone got over

[00:31:21] Lydia so fast. Like everybody's like she's good. She's good. She's good. Lydia's good. We're good. Now I can move on. There was there was a frenzy. There was what happened to Lydia with with the hot butt military guy. And then I was like he's good. She's good.

[00:31:36] We're never going to see her again. We're not going to hear from her again. She's good. And that's all I got. Dan, both of mine are just preferences. They're not weight what's but what is Donald Sutherland doing in this movie and doing what I can only

[00:31:53] describe as basically Donald Sutherland. Like he is a good actor, but Donald Sutherland is Canadian with some European descent in a sea of all British people. And he is just being Donald Sutherland and I don't understand. He's not bad. I mean, I mean like dude's a trained

[00:32:13] actor, but you have so many like great possibilities to play that role of the Bennett Patriarch. Top five, Mr. Bennett's for Mr. Thompson. Bill Nye would have been great. Jim, I'm not a science guy. Bill, not a science guy also not British, but would have earned it.

[00:32:34] Yeah, absolutely. Pulled that off. Yeah. Ben Stein. Yeah, Ben Stein as well. Also inspired choice. Vin Diesel. Hey, Elizabeth. Elizabeth, you want to marry Darcy? You may. You got dry eyes. He loves Greenville. He loves Greenville. He loves Greenville. And lastly, the guy that plays

[00:33:01] Collins is a guy named Tom Hollander. He's really funny. He's in a lot of really funny British comedic stuff. I understand Collins is supposed to be sniveling and awful. You didn't have to give him that haircut. You know how to do that. To do that to that guy.

[00:33:15] To make him. Now any of his friends can literally just take a screenshot from this movie. But look at you. Look at you. And they can do it at their will. Like whenever they want to. And that was a lot. You don't have to.

[00:33:28] We know we know he's creepy and weird and a cousin. We get it. You don't have to do that to that poor guy. Everyone else has normal 1790 British hair. Don't do that to that guy. Don't always the Dame Society. The Dame Society is back.

[00:33:41] Who am I speaking with? Dame, Dame. Dame, Dame. And this is different than your voice. Who does your voicemail? Because that sounded very like rednecky. Got it on Fiverr. You got it on Fiverr. The Dame Society got their voicemail on Fiverr.

[00:33:56] So can you explain to me, Dame, Dame, while I was like there's no possibility of me becoming a Dame? Do you remember back in 2000 Oh, five. OK. Do you remember? I know that that's the year this movie came out. Yes. So you actually, do you remember the cookies?

[00:34:18] No. The cookie incident. I don't remember the cookie incident. Your mom made cookies. OK. You ate them all. OK. You did. You did not ask your friends want them. So that is why I can't be a. Role number one of Dame ship. Always ask about the cookie.

[00:34:40] OK. Great. I just now I know people underestimate the importance of cookie when it comes to their games. Where let me ask you this. What? Did Dame Dame? Yes, Mr. Thompson, were you sent here because this episode was a little short when you. Yes.

[00:34:59] OK, I thought I was making God bless. Thank you, Dame, Dame. It's time for what the hallmark. It's time for price. These kids are going to stay. I'm sorry. Brian, would you say your more pride or more precious? Oh, man, pride, I guess.

[00:35:16] I hear air on the side of pride there. Good. I mean, what you can't say. Anybody going to choose? Didn't you choose? Pregis one time we did this. Oh, boy. Really not. Right. I've got. Yeah. Listen, Brian, what you got? Anything you're still wondering about?

[00:35:31] I'm wondering how the Darcy family made their money. Really? How anybody got. I know it's all handed down and you just keep it in the family and whatnot, but like where does it start? You know, like where the Darcy family get it? That's what I want to know.

[00:35:48] This is why we should have done this segment. So you told on me, how did they find out about the. I didn't tell. I didn't know you back then. Who told on me? I don't know. Probably Alex, man. OK, all right. Sorry. Keep going.

[00:36:01] I wouldn't because it because day I want I'm I'd be happy being dame by proxy by proxy. I did see them live. It was amazing. So good. I like this one for me. How many dances did they how many balls? Yeah, balls.

[00:36:18] How many balls do you think they had a year? Because in this movie, a lot of balls. We it's a real summer of all situations. We are treated the three right. The four. I think three three. But I think one of those is a is purely private.

[00:36:35] That's a private ball. Sitch, I don't know if all of them are. But how many balls? Because that's the main source of entertainment. Oh, you do it all every weekend. Yeah, is it? It's throwable. Is it the same as going?

[00:36:47] Is it the same as going clubbing with the friends like, hey, let's go clubbing? Was that the amount of balls we're talking or was or or balls more special where there's just some maybe you have some friend gatherings where you sure one person whips out

[00:37:02] a fiddle and starts going to town and you dance there. But that's not a ball. That's just a gathering. So it's just ball ball ball related question related question. That's fair. Yeah. My only question is it's not a question.

[00:37:15] I would like to see maybe some more Jane Austen adaptations that play with the time and try to keep everything else the same. Obviously, we see present day ones. But like I got a Pemberley Manor 40. Yeah, but like 1812 is when the movies both take place.

[00:37:29] And he basically 1790, which is 22 ish years. And it it he allows for a very different movie to take place. I would love to see someone keep it that close, but change as much as he did with some of the others. Great question by Ernie.

[00:37:45] Although, yeah, were there multiple balls a night? Were they going ball? Well, one thing I really like to what the movie is, is they really depicted going to these balls as like a full on. That's what I'm saying. Like they were going home the next morning. Yeah. Yeah.

[00:37:59] Like they were they were going hard. Yeah. New Year's Eve every weekend. Yeah, that's like what what give me something to relate it to the balls like what what what type of outing are we talking? Because, you know, you got out.

[00:38:11] You get the outings with the friends to go. You get the club and you got New Year's Eve. You got all these different types of things now. What's the closest problem is, is that we because we celebrate so many things. So we're good at that.

[00:38:23] It's very different than what would happen. You might even say America first in America's area. No, I was saying we is just everyone in the world. Go ahead. Aaron. Aaron. Oh, Aaron. Hi. Aaron Cam. And I'm getting there.

[00:38:37] I know Dan read like one article on this movie and therefore that's where he's getting all the shade there. Oh, I read way more than one. I did a lot of research here. Why do light and pride and prejudice is light to talk about?

[00:38:54] Dude, I could talk about. I said one poorly worded text yesterday and I'm still angry. Yeah, no kidding. I was just saying from a lot of like the books from that time period that I've read, I feel like the balls started later, like nine,

[00:39:07] 10 o'clock. And so it wasn't like like nowadays, I feel like I would think it would start like six or seven. But right, it's not starting till much later at night. And so therefore, yeah, it would go. Where are they put all the carriages to?

[00:39:20] Like those take up lots of stuff about the carriages. I just think I for some reason, I just think of I think of us as being a culture that's, you know, more ready to run amok. But back then, like we, you know, we're nothing else.

[00:39:37] I know, I know. But dancing really didn't start till like midnight after that. That's too much. Hey, guys, that's a bad idea. How do you feel about the natural burger? Did anybody answer you on that? On what? No, we did not speak. Being angry from chat conversations.

[00:39:54] Aaron is just human. It's tough out there. Really quickly, Aaron, as exciting as this is, we got to talk about Thursday really quickly for everybody out there that's trying to find Earthquake. Earthquake Day. We're just trying to find Earthquake underground onto the ground. It doesn't exist yet.

[00:40:13] And so we're not going to review it. And instead, what we're going to do is we are going to make our Oscar picks. We're going to get together. We're going to try to create the perfect Oscar ballot.

[00:40:25] Each of us, each of us, the winner is going to be able to get any cameo that they want from cameo.com. Ooh. We don't have that money in the budget. Under $200. There it is. OK. Yes. Can we just can we just pick take the 200?

[00:40:43] We have to do the cameo. I mean, it's a question. Of course, of course, obviously. We'll be back tomorrow, though, with the way home with Ryan. Ryan will be here. And until then, maybe the first to wish you a Merry Christmas. This podcast is produced by Aaron Shea.
