Wouldn't you know it –"Sanditon" episodes 3 and 4 are even hotter and hornier than the first two episodes?! Maybe it's because Jane's been drinking too much cider. Or maybe it's because Tanner's been drinking too much beer. Either way, the boys are going to need an ice-cold showerbath after this one. Special thanks to Baby Bee Carys for the theme m…

That's right, it's the very hot and very horny first two episodes of "Sanditon," by Andrew Davies (the Jane Austen of our time) and Jane Austen (the Jane Austen of Jane Austen's time).

Darcy's a congressman, Lizzie's trying to save the town square, and this whole thing is making us just a little bit horse crazy. This week, it's Pride & Prejudice: Atlanta, a terrifying parallel universe where nothing is quite as it seems. Or possibly just an extremely wholesome Lifetime movie. It's difficult to tell. Special thanks to Baby Bee Car…

Have these boys met a real live Mr. Darcy, in the flesh, without realizing it? Will the Seal of Danzalthar stay closed long enough for the Bakshi girls to find some rich and mostly shirtless husbands? And what even is Tanner's middle name? These are difficult questions to answer even in the sober light of day, and this is ... not that. This week: 2…

Mrs. Bennet was right. There, we said it. Anyway, we watched the 2005 Keira Knightley Pride and Prejudice this week and some of us have to grudgingly admit that it's quite good. Top tier Darcy.

We're finally getting around to tackling Jane's only nonfiction novel, "Pride and Prejudice and Zombies," which covers the zombie apocalypse of 1813, as well as the marriage — officiated by Doctor Who himself — of Elizabeth Bennet to handsome actor Sam Riley, who everyone agrees is the best Mr. Darcy. Also, it's a movie, not a book, so I guess it's…

Just as the predator claimed King Willie's skull as a trophy in 1990's Predator 2, so Willoughby (aka Rodrigo Fuentes) mercilessly crushes the hopes of Mary Dominguez (aka Marianne Dashwood) in this modern retelling of Sense (aka Prada) and Sensibility (aka nada).
