A Jane Austen movie I’d watch: Pride and Fight Club

Fantastic.

Sensible Reading

As mentioned this morning – you can now get Sense and Sensibility and Sea Monsters the book… here’s the cover – and here’s where you can buy it (when it’s in stock).

Austentatious 2 – Sense, Sensibility and Sea Monsters

 

From the team who brought you Pride and Prejudice and Zombies…

Austentatious

I’ve never been a Jane Austen fan. I have no desire to relive the Elizabethian era or glamourise a time where a man in posession of a fortune may be in want of a wife. Unless of course the glorification of said time were a gorification – complete with brain eating zombies. Everybody loves a brain eating zombie romance. It’s what made Shaun of the Dead so appealing. From memory it was marketed as a Rom-Zom-Com – a Romantic Zombie Comedy. 

I was no doubt scarred as a child playing too much “Horror Zombies From the Crypt” (download from abandonia) on the Amiga. 

But what’s all this about zombies you ask? Particularly because I started off talking about Jane Austen. Oh yes. If you would prefer Pride and Prejudice retold with the awesome upgrade package – namely zombies wreaking havoc throughout the plot – now you can. Thanks to ThinkGeek.
