Don't laugh, I'm a fan of Jane Austen’s classic novel. I also love the many film versions. Yes, I'm straight. For those of you not as cultured as I, there is a new version for you.  Looks to be a hoot."Pride and Prejudice and Zombies" https://www.youtube.com/watch?t=65&v=QWr3mLI8Xl8

“I could easily forgive his pride, if he had not mortified mine.” Perhaps this is where the Zombies started. PS Mac the link started then dumped and gave other movie possibilities to watch. I am glad we have two repertoire theatres here in Ottawa it is bound to show up in one of them

I love most of the old classics. Except Moby Dick. Never could get through that one. But probably the most famous first line ever. I read David Copperfield's stuff many times when I was a young lad. Once you get a taste for the language and phrasing, it's pretty cool. But my all time favorites, any of the Horartio Hornblower series.

Even the radio series adapted from the Hornblower books was great. Never forget the episode when he was expected to fire a 21 gun salute for the Queen. He put 21 beans in one pocket and transfered them to a different pocket to make sure of the count. Very pleased with himself, he worked up a chant, "If I weren't the smartest man on this ship, I wouldn't be captain today." to get the timing right. Unfortunately, one of the beans split in his pocket. When chided for his 22 gun salute, he replied, "I did fire a 21 gun salute for the Queen. The last, and loudest of all, was for my dear wife."
