Sense and Sensibility

"I watched my Netflix movie."
"What was it?"
"Oh.... it was like that one I liked last week, but different. Oh shoot..."
"Pride and Prejudice was last week."
"Oh! Sense and Sensibility! That's it."
"And?"
"Mo, it had so many Harry Potter people in it! It had that lady who plays the mean professor in the pink and Emma Thompson and Alan Rickman... Snape. It was made before Harry Potter, in 1995, but you are right - everyone is in Harry Potter."
"Well, all English actors are in Harry Potter."
"It was great. Didn't Jane Austen write both of them? That must be why I like them. And all my favorite people are in them."

NOTE TO HOLLYWOOD: Make a movie with a Harry Potter actor in it, and my mom will love it. GUARANTEED*

*that is, of course, unless your film includes harsh language, graphic sex, amoral characters, or an unhappy ending.
