Doing this is hardly impossible. Hollywood worked Austin Territory marvelously during the 30s and 40s. Check out The Shop Around the Corner or The Philadelphia Story. While over in post-war France, Eric Romer made a score of sharp movies about romantic desire and illusion, without ever needing to resurrect Mr. Darcy for one last bout of pride and prejudice.

Virginia Woolf famously wrote of Austen that, of all great writers, she is the most difficult to catch in the act of greatness. One measure of her greatness is that, two centuries on, filmmakers like Piani are still so inspired by her work that they want to make their own versions. As an Austen lover myself, I understand the temptation. And anyway, better that than constantly remaking Batman.

Suits me fine. What are your favorite programs? I just like TV, you know. To me, it replaced the fireplace when I was a child. And if you want to know what 20 million Americans are talking about on Saturday night, it's what they saw on Friday night on TV. It's a window on the world. Whatever it is, that's that image of ourselves that we're portraying.

People say their phones are bugged. First of all, I thought it was paranoia. I've been reading all these, you know, conspiracy theory books. You can hear things going on on the phone every time you pick it up. People clicking in and out and... There was a lot of repairs going on downstairs to the phones every few days down in the basement.

Pop culture has long had a tendency toward bloat. The catchy two-minute singles of the 1950s gave way to the laborious concept albums of the 60s. the slim, mind-blowing novels of Philip K. Dick and J.G. Ballard, led to the doorstops of Stephen King and Neal Stephenson.
