Working late with Ang Lee

I’ve been working way into the wee hours lately and so have been taking full advantage of hulu.com‘s selection of films to keep me going.  Even if it does take a bit longer to get something done, I figure its worth it, as I’m actually doing it.  Having a movie going on in the background allows for working through the night.  Anyhow, I stumbled across Ang Lee’s Sense and Sensibility last night.  Its so lovely.  I love Jane Austen.  

If you haven’t seen it in a while and like those sorts of things, you should definitely check this one out again. Besides the amazing cast and the expected wit, its just wonderfully weepy and wrenching, with the dependable happy ending.  Which one appreciates at 2 am.  

One random thing that really caught my eye was their posture. Its out of control.  

  

See? Even there as they’re sitting casually in the grass…

I also was really drooling over the millions of pleats in their simple empire waste dresses.  I love pleats…

Ok back to work! I’m off to a screening tonight in Newport, RI of We Are Wizards, so I’ve got to get stuff done.
