While I feel I am on somewhat firm ground criticizing lame dialogue] (as in being able to tell what some character's going to say before s/he says it because it's SOOO predictable), I am the person who
a) preferred the original '79 BBC production of Pride and Prejudice to anything that came after (& yes, that does include preferring David Rintoul's Mr. Darcy to Colin Firth's), as well as the last movie
I never saw the 1979 BBC Pride and Prejudice and thus cannot comment on that. However, I *did* enjoy Cameron's take on Titanic (with Leo DiC and the beauteous Winslet)--though I only saw, and wanted to see, it once.
I had said the "bomb" comment before it ever came out. But even tho' I have seen every version of Pride & Prejudice available (I am still looking for Bride and Prejudice), I still prefer Rintoul. As to "Titanic", I do understand why it's considered a great movie, even tho' I told The Hubby( tm) not to bring it into the house. It was a little like when he bought "Braveheart", so I don't understand why he thought I was kidding.
