you know, i liked "clueless." if you're going to make an austen update, it's the best one out there. sure, "briget jone's diary" is a nice P&P, but "clueless" is the closest and the best, and since "emma" is my favorite austen, i stand by it.

but now they've gone and done it, blasphemy, re-entering the garden without permission, daring to tread where angels are only meant to go....and turning my most beloved austen novel into....oh! i can hardly tell you!!! they are turning it into a musical.

i have to pause for breath, because i have not said all.

my dears. they are turning "emma"....oh no. i cannot say. i cannot!!! oh all right, by mrs. jennings, i'll tell you. they are turning "emma" into... into...

*whispers* a hip. hop. musical.

*cries silently into her handkerchief*

you must excuse me. i am quite unwell.

Dear me, I am monstrous sad for you. I do hope you shall recover with all deliberate speed and this most unwelcome news shall not weigh upon your mind for long.

The best thing you can do is forget you heard about it and strive to ignore any news of the re-make. It will be better for your health if you can...

Oh, that's frightenting. I'm scared too. Hold me.

You never know, though. MAYBE good will come of it. Maybe. Maybe. Probably not, but maybe.

I love the shit out of Clueless. Donald Faison and Paul Rudd, baby- they're all I need. Rollin' with the homies...

I refuse to consider Bridget Jones a P&P spin. Mostly because Bridget is nowhere near Lizzy material. Lizzy isn't neurotic or slow-witted.
