TV Speaking of Librarians…

… did anyone feel betrayed by reviews like this and this while watching Masterpiece Theater’s Jane Eyre last night?
Authentic? Ha! What was the point of having Rochester hide all creepylike behind a curtain while an Irish lady played the gipsy? (Rochester impersonates the gipsy in the book.) Not only was the movie so dark you wouldn’t have been able to tell the difference (note to Susannah White: Barry Lyndon notwithstanding, you don’t have to light a period piece exclusively with candles), but it totally transforms a manipulative/sexy scene into a voyeuristic/skeezy scene.
And the actors have no chemistry. I would’ve sooner thought Rochester was about to molest Adèle than marry Jane Eyre. Yuck.
Note to concerned second-guessers: I am using the spelling of “gipsy” as Brontë had it. Check out the etext if you like. The fake gypsy in the novel is more a concept than an ethnicity and has nothing to do with the Romany people, so I retained the “i.”
PRESS RELEASE
The forthcoming anthology of Annie Wagner film reviews and Slog posts will be entitled "Barry Lyndon Notwithstanding."
What confuses me more is how they are stretching out a rather small book into 4 freaking hours!!
and toby stephens looks shitty with long hair...

Thou arte naughtt but that whicht God hath made in His Likeneth.
Or you could just learn to write.
'Rather small book'? It's like 600 pages! I read it this winter and it has to be one of my top ten of all time - stunningly contemporary, brilliant, moving and soul-nourishing. There aren't many novels that can change your life and I won't say this one did mine, but nothing will ever quite be the same again.
