Brideshead Revisited

Brideshead Revisited, a wonderful book by Evelyn Waugh, was introduced to me about 3 or 4 years ago by dear friends who professed to reading the book at least once a year and every time they read it, they discovered something new about the book that they hadn't the previous year. I have read it twice and watched the series with Jeremy Irons. Now they are coming out with a new version of the movie with Emma Thompson - of whom I am a fan but my gut is telling me something about this 'new' movie. I don't think I want to see it. The producers will probably just sex the movie up and vomit it out for the rest of us to see and then we be able to make authoritative comments about the book as if we have read it.

If and when I get bored enough and have the opportunity to see the movie by using a free rental, I will then post my comments about how either right or wrong I was.

If you happen to see the movie please tell me if I should go out and see it.
