Clarissa: What a nauseating, joyless monstrosity of a movie. In fact, it reminded me most vividly of the nightmare that was Buffy season six.

*shudder of absolute horror*

On the plus side, Sean Bean was awesome in his role, and way hotter than James Marsters. But like S6, the hotness was ultimately not worth the preachy, moralistic, self-righteous crap.

(PS: Men are evil and they exist solely to consume and destroy women. In case you were wondering. :P)

What movie?

If it's any consolation the book is much better. But at something like 2000 pages, written entirely in epistolary format, you probably wouldn't enjoy it.

If I remember my English lit correctly I think that even in the 18th century people considered the author to be writing "preachy, moralistic, self-righteous crap." so you aren't wrong on that one.

Sean was very, very hot though!

I actually disagree with your commentor above - the movie makes Lovelace more sympathetic than the book does :P (So, you know ...) And Richardson was upset that people didn't loathe Lovelace as much as they should have done.

I just couldn't understand how Clarissa could resist him in this one, when he was being all loungey and sexy and all.

I remember reading this in University. Don't remember enjoying it.

I think it was one of the first novels, so has a historical significance. I know it was all written as letters.
