I kept pausing tonight’s flat viewing of the 2020 romcom ‘Emma’ to tell Jules that the story is exactly like Clueless. “This part literally happens in Clueless, have you seen it? It literally happens”. “I saw that film when I was 15” Jules replied. I took to Google just now to confirm my theory and the producers say that the 1995 cult classic is ‘loosely’ based on Austen’s 1815 novel BUT there’s a guy in Emma called Mr Elton, just like Elton in Clueless (Hellooo?!?!) I amaze myself at least 15 times a day.
Can I just say that I also love Bill Nighy so much and wish he was related to me in some way? Like a long lost, twice removed distant cousin or someone that was there to give me impartial life advice.
After the movie ended (it was really good by the way, highly recommend, the costumes were incredible thanks to Oscar-winning designer Alexandra Byrne!!) I was looking in the bathroom mirror while brushing my teeth and realised it’s been about a month since I cut my fringe. I have to say it was a really excellent decision on my part that helps frame my face. However, I’m not willing to go the extra mile and start hacking off the actual length of my hair even though I desperately need a haircut. I’ve dipped my toe in the hair alteration pool many times before and I’m officially retired in that department.
I just fell down a hole on YouTube which involved watching four separate videos of Emma and Mr Knightley falling in love. Now I’m going to watch that scene from Pride & Prejudice where Elizabeth is dancing with Mr Darcy.
I’m done.
Ever your most affectionate blogger,
