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)

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!

Yep. Henry Fielding, the author of Tom Jones wrote two satire of Richardson's Pamela. One was called Shamela, and it was a collection of letters showing Pamela to be conniving and manipulative. The other was the story of Pamela's brother. I haven't read that in ages, but if I remember correctly, he wanted to show what a truly virtuous person would do in Pamela's circumstances. Basically, since there were no laws against sexual harassment at the time, it was to get out and try to find another job.

That is true! I'm going to try to block out the rest of the movie from my mind, and just focus on the awesomeness of Sean Bean. ;)
