Yeah, that version of Persuasion was the weakest of the new Austen adaptations they did. There was nothing wrong with the actors, but the docu-style camera work and the long silences were not suited to Jane Austen's quick witted dialogue. However, Mum, Ama and I all concluded that we would like to see moar Captain Wentworth.
I have that version of Wuthering Heights on my Ziplist, though who knows when it will arrived. They've been steadfastly refusing to send me North & South for months and I want my Richard Armitage fix, damnit!
I just tried to read Wuthering Heights a couple of weeks ago. I've read Jane Eyre and really loved it, so I thought I'd give WH a try as well. But after I finally figured out the 'story told to me as told by somebody as told to them by somebody' narration, I just kept going 'these people are crazy. This is not romantic. This is disturbing. These people are mentally ill.' and decided to give it up. It reminded me of Twilight in that way. Really disturbing relationships that people seem to think are epically romantic.
