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)

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.

OMG that was SEAN BEAN!!!!!! I didn't realize...

I watched the movie years ago, when I didn't even know who Sean Bean was, but *I* certainly could NOT resist Lovelace. :-)

And you're right, the movie made Lovelace much more sympathetic and two-dimensional than the book.

Haha, you dork. (And OMG you're on LiveJournal!! Don't read any of the Sharpe spoilers that I've posted!)

BTW, I didn't get the DeepDiscountDVD Sharpe movies yet, but I should have them by next weekend. In case you want to, like, make plans, or something. ;)

Hee! I'm so amused and delighted that rusty_halo has not only succumbed to the charms of Sharpe herself, but has gotten you involved too :P

I only watched this FOR the Sean Bean, but yes, I was totally all "HOW CAN YOU RESIST HIM?" Silly girl!
