The ... Duchess and other movies

Hey,

Lately I have developed a taste for movies of an old era. Those with the difficult and complicated English. Funnily, some of them not only haven't gotten greek subtitles but not even English ones. It is surely a fun activity, especially when I sit there wondering what the actual heck they might mean by something they said.

Anyways, two of the latest I watched was "Pride and Prejudice" and "The Duchess". The first was a bomb, like I still wonder how the book may have looked like, however I have no interest in reading it, as I have a dozen others in my list. In regards to the second one, I have to say that it was immensely more interesting when I -mid watch- read online the real story of it. We are speaking of a historical person, who existed Devonshire, UK. Quite unique situation, which taught me furthermore some peculiar details of the era's society. I recommend should you have such tastes.

Another one I watched, based again on the book of Jane Austen, was "Sense and Sensibility". I think the basic reason I watch these are the costumes. I couldn't even recognize the actors (not that I have any deep or long knowledge but Google revealed that one of the guys was Hugh Grant, a name I have heard before, but couldn't out a face on).

Besides this new activity (I am not fan of cinema and movies as it sometimes can be just a loss of precious time), I keep being stuck on my books and precisely the audiobooks. Have found a couple of good readers and later I search based on them. Most of the books are still around psychology, although lately I have indulged in some articles of various content, such as astronomy, zoology and automotive news. Haven't I mentioned again how versatile I am?

I enjoy this last activity, when the weather permits, while I cycle on my (cheap) bike. For three weeks we had continuous rain and cold which left me upset as I couldn't enjoy the outdoors more. For now I hope the sunshine can last a bit longer, so I can go for adventures on the two wheels.

Hmm, who took this shot?
