Northanger Abbey

Ok so it has been brought to my attention that i've been too busy lately to do any of my normal movie watching in bulk. Therefore I have not been updating as often as i would like. So this will be a quick note for those Jane Austen fans out there.
Northanger Abbey (it is very late and i hope that i'm spelling this right but i'm too lazy to check) is probably the weakest Jane Austen book. I remember just not caring for the book at all, but part of this could stem from the fact that i just couldn't visualize large chucks of what was going on. I thought the main character flighty and not all that bright.
That said, I thought well this is a PBS mini series for the book, it probably won't be bad and maybe it will help me visualize the story better. It did not. I thought the acting was just terrible. i didn't really care for any character at all. not even 1! I got the movie from Netflicks and it stopped in 2 places where the disc wouldn't play a little section. My first thoughts were 'oh well it cant be important anyways'. Its pretty bad when i dont' care if I miss some of the dialogue.
Next time your in the mood for a movie addition of Jane Austen (recommended only after you have read the books, books are always better) I would recommend Emma, or Mansfield Park, they are not as well known but i found both of those movies enjoyable
