You are idiots. Just because something is "dark," "gothic," openly "passionate," and "concerned with entertaining and not being faithful to the source material" does not make it a good film.
Now, I have no doubt that Jane Eyre is a good film. I'm greatly looking forward to watching it. But all your sneering asides about "those cozy Jane Austen films" are 1) unsubstantiated; 2) exactly what you were saying about Bronte films when Pride and Prejudice came out 6 years ago (and kinda sexist too); 3) demonstrations of just how thick you are that you can't get the seething hostility, suffering, and purity of emotion found in all of Austen's novels.
Crack a book. By a woman. Sometime this century. Thanks.
