no, he isn't smiling

So, I've watched this video a hundred times today (give or take about 98) and I still don't get it any better than I did when it came out. Is Alan Rickman the ex or the new guy, and what does the ending mean, and also, what the fuck is up with the erotic dancing at the gas station? Please explain this to me. Dumb it down some.

Actually he does kind of smile in the video, although it's the same kind of smile as he would give as Snape. So it's not really a very convincing "I'm just super happy"-smile".
And I actually find him somewhat hot :/, but not really in a want-to-do-him way. He's hot in his coolness! Not in nakedness it's a word!
And the sexy dance is quite disturbing... And no, I don't really get that video either.

And I don't know who'd win, since Jane Austen references are pretty much lost on me. But I don't think they'd talk it out. They'd fight as civilized Englishmen, because it'd probably be over some honour-thing.

Yeah, I'm looking for the happy kind of smile, not a 'the world baffles/disgusts me' kind of smile. :)

I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't get it. I was feeling pretty dim...

Lost on you? WHAT? Are you seriously saying you have not watched Sense and Sensibility and Pride and Prejudice??? We'll have to fix that.

I've never read any Jane Austen, but I have watched Pride and Prejudice, the one starring Colin Firth of course. And I actually kind of liked it, quite to my own surprise.
However, I really don't see me ever being an Austen-fan.
I really don't want to be a modern-day-woman-who-gets-annoyed-by-18th-century-virtues. But I am...
Jane Eyre bugged the hell out of me, so I'm pretty scared that reading Austen will bring out my well hidden inner feminist as well. It would just be unbearable...

Phew, that's a relief. :)

I was annoyed by Jane Eyre as well, and I love Jane Austen. She really isn't as bad as Brontë. I'll admit that Pride & Prejudice is my absolute favorite novel (because Elizabeth Bennet just wins at being awesome), and it's also the one with the most 'action.'

Sense & Sensibility is a fairly boring read, really, but Alan Rickman makes up for that plenty in the movie. LOL.
