I was just like "Geez lady, you could do a lot worse than Sean Bean".<BR/><BR/>I did like that Lovelace never repented what he did to Clarissa though, which makes him a proper rake in my book. Unlike Valmont from Les Liaisons Dangereuses who had to go and fall in love, ha ha.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319800388192001374.post-48129509493417994112009-03-03T00:28:00.000+01:002009-03-03T00:28:00.000+01:00Oh I'd love to watch Aristocrats again, I've been ...Oh I'd love to watch Aristocrats again, I've been planning to get it on DVD forever, because I haven't seen it since the late 90's. If I recall correctly, there were some fabulous costumes in that one.<BR/><BR/>Re: Clarissa. No, I didn't quite connect with this heroine either, probably because I found the plot a bit dated (what else could you expect from a 250+ year old novel?) I kept thinking: "Just let him, already! Have some fun while you can!"<BR/><BR/>Maybe I'm more of a Fanny Hill-persona than a Clarissa... :DMadame Berghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04386828638786159478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319800388192001374.post-85290716946487716462009-03-02T23:44:00.000+01:002009-03-02T23:44:00.000+01:00I saw this a while ago and I have to say that I co...I saw this a while ago and I have to say that I couldn't quite get into it, mainly because the character of Clarissa was just SO ANNOYING. She drove me crazy. When Lovelace raped her my best friend and I went "Finally!!" and we thought it took her forever to die. I feel like I really would have gotten into the story if I liked her, but I didn't.<BR/><BR/>If you want a great 18th century miniseries you should check out The Aristocrats, another BBC production. It follows the famous Lennox sisters throughout their lives and is fabulous.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8319800388192001374.post-62316728602849968682009-03-02T19:33:00.000+01:002009-03-02T19:33:00.000+01:00Oooooh wow!
