Eyre Buds

Piper and Lillian return to Jane Eyre with an adaptation that cuts out half of the story and all of the animals. 

If the host of the party demands that you ignore the man who's just been stabbed, would you keep dancing? Yeah... didn't think so.

Piper and Lillian return from their week off with a period romance that isn't Jane Eyre. After four adaptations of, "relax, Jane, it's just bigamy," I think we deserve a movie that makes us incandescently happy. 

In which Piper and Lillian discuss the importance of color and flashbacks in visual storytelling, and express our love for the first truly sympathetic Rochester we've seen so far. 

Thank you Dayna for suggesting we watch the 2006 version! Because of you, Lillian now has a version of Jane Eyre that she genuinely really likes.

In which Piper and Lillian spend a lot of time talking about how bad the kissing was in a movie that otherwise did a pretty good job. 

In which we proclaim our love for Judi Dench and pay respect to Jane's scene-stealing bonnet. 

Lillian completes her first watch through of a Jane Eyre adaptation. Now armed with the whole story, we start to ask some really important questions. Are you a Quiet Quaker or a Burning Bertha? Take our quiz to find out!  

Piper drags Lillian into the slowest, saddest introduction to Jane Eyre ever, where an 80's Timothy Dalton as Mr. Rochester and a rarely seen Newfoundland named Pilot are the only silver linings. We can only go up from here...right?
