Oh, puleeze!  ::)

Last night I watched the very entertaining film Becoming Jane with our own Anne Hathaway and with James McAvoy as her love Tom LeFroy. There is some speculation as to whether her affair with LeFroy ever did exist, but it's not completely fictional. And no, Tom LeFroy is not a vampire, or vampyre, although he did serve as the foundation for the character of Mr. Darcy!!

Now I have the book The Sensibility Diaries by Emma Thompson about the making of Ang Lee's Sense and Sensibility. It's a great book so far. Why isn't there a Brokeback Diaries>:(
