Jul 5 2007The Jane Austen Book Club Trailer

The trailer to The Jane Austen Book Club somehow manages to combine all the reasons I'd never join a Jane Austen book club with all the reasons I'd never see a movie. In it, several women (I didn't count or notice how many) collect to discuss the works of Jane Austen but soon discover their own love lives are mirroring those of Austen's characters. Like how Monster Squad gave groups of kids that loved monsters the dream of one day encountering real ones, TJABC gives hopes to lonely middle-aged women they might one day find a man willing to tolerate their boring obsession with a long-dead author (though they are equally unattainable goals).

Wolfman's got nards.

I commend you for making it through the trailer; I didn't make it through your description.

Goddammit- I haven't fully woken up yet! Don't do that shit to me. I'm not uncultured or insensitive- I thought Under the Tuscan Sky had its moments- does that make me gay? Well, maybe just a little- like playing "Just the tip, just for a minute, just to see how it feels..." but I would rather stick my dick and balls into a meat grinder than watch TJABC

I can't throw up hard enough. Please help.

I cant wait for this! Mainly because i love Maggie Grace!
