FILM-ETTES NOT QUITE ON FRIDAY: good things come to those who wait

Working Writer had what felt like a multitude of meetings on Friday and, while each was festive in its way, felt far too exhausted to post the usual Friday film-ette here. However, though belated, the Jane Austen Fight Club is one of the most delicious filmettes this blogger has ever seen (seen four times, so far). The slaps, the kicks, the blood (yes, slaps, kicks, and blood! in JANE AUSTEN!) the hats, the Bichon, the lovely multicultural presences...it's a little gem. (Though I must credit here the lovely snippet of music that is uncredited in the filmette; it's from Dario Marinelli's soundtrack for the 2005 Joe Wright film of Pride and Prejudice.)
Make some Lady Grey tea, find a crumpet, and enjoy.

Or I'll have to punch you right in the kisser.

Ah, yes, the rolling meadows of the English countryside and proper young ladies duking it out! My favorite bit: the face smashed into the cake. Well done!
