I saw the French film, "My Best Friend," the other day. Loved it. I thought it was especially interesting because the writer used a somewhat traditional romantic comedy approach to tell a story about friendship. The basic plot revolves around a shmuck art dealer who realizes he has no true friends. His business partner makes a bet that he can't

Have you seen/are you going to see the movie about Jane Austen? The one with Anne Hathaway? What have you heard about it?

Yeah, I saw it opening night, haha. It was really good as a story by itself but they REALLY exaggerated history. Some things were true about Jane's life, but others were way off base. She did supposedly love Tom LeFroy, but no one knows anything about their story. All that is recorded is that they danced together at balls, flirted, and then he was sent to Ireland. I forgive the movie for making things up, though, since it is anyone's guess as to what actually happened.

Anyway, my historical rambling aside, it's worth seeing.
