Think Thing features video essays and analyses of film, TV, and literary adaptations, among other things. The channel is 100% human-made and does not include any generative AI content.
I'm not an academic; I come to these opinions and insights via a combination of nerdy fandom and a small amount of expertise in the film & TV production world.

Is think thing on?

It never rains JA news, it pours. There's a new clip from the upcoming S&S film out. I think it looks great, hair down or not.

It's official! Netflix's Pride and Prejudice from Dolly Alderton and Euros Lynn has a release date: December 3! While that is still, technically, the "fall," it's a bit later than I'd hoped.
Deadline has some new photos and an article accompanying the release date here: deadline.com/gallery/pride-and-prejudice-netflix-r…

Apologies for the delay in posting a new video! It's coming! The script is mostly written and it's a close look at that all too infamous scene in the 1995 P&P series: Darcy's impromptu refreshing dip in the pond at Pemberley.
I am not ONLY pandering to my audience with this topic! I actually have some stuff to say about the scene, which is both praised for how thirsty it is and criticized for being noncanonical and tawdry. Can it be both? Does it bring anything else to the story that might be worth looking at? Is it even realistic? All these questions will be addressed in the next exciting video from Think Thing! (add exciting Batman music here)

Hi folks, just shaking the tree one last time in case anyone is interested in this beautiful 1940 edition of P&P. I have received a couple of private offers and I'll accept whatever the highest offer is that I receive by 9/26, or if anyone would like to offer $500 or more, I will accept that offer right away and bidding will end. Otherwise I'll wait until the 26th and the highest offer will take it.
I will spend whatever money I receive for this directly on the channel! There are a few bits of technology that would improve my workflow etc. So your bid not only gets you a gorgeous piece of Jane Austen history, but it's a donation to the channel too!
The winning bid will also receive a few other little JA-related knick knacks and a huge thank you from me!
Please email me directly at thinkthingmedia at gmail dot com to make an offer. Thanks.

So, I have this kinda rare and collectable 1940 edition of Pride and Prejudice that I acquired recently from a FB Marketplace purchase. I don't need to keep it and I was considering listing it on ebay, but it occurred to me that someone here might want it.
I'll hold off listing it anywhere else for a week or two in case someone here wants to make an offer. Feel free to email me at thinkthingmedia at gmail dot com for more info. Anyone who buys this can expect me to throw in some additional surprise JA goodies at no extra cost! I would need the buyer to pay shipping, but if it's within the US I think the cheaper media mail rates apply because it's a book.
Details follow below. See photos too for condition, etc. Google it and see if it's something you'd be excited to own.
1940 Limited Editions Club (LEC) edition of Pride and Prejudice, beautifully custom-designed by D.B. Updike and printed at The Merrymount Press in Boston. This volume is Number 1,345 of 1,500 copies printed globally.
Hand-signed in ink by legendary illustrator Helen Sewell on the rear colophon page.
Includes the original publisher’s marbled slipcase, displaying the matching handwritten limitation number 1345 on its spine label.
The sheepskin leather at the top and bottom extremes of the spine has experienced some age-crumbing and material loss. The typographic spine stamping remains legible. Hinges are stable, but the spine leather is fragile and requires careful handling.
Both the front and back embossed leather boards are crisp, tight, and flat. The striking central gilt monogram remains exceptionally bright and clean.
The pages are crisp, white, completely free of marks or tearing, and the Sewell signature is pristine.
The slipcase is structurally solid. Shows normal shelf scuffing along the corner tips and edges.

The next video is still a few days away but I thought I'd do a thumbnail reveal anyway, cuz it made me chuckle.

The thing that astounds me most about this Lady Catherine surprise visit to Longbourn scene is just how faithful ALL of the adaptations are to Austen's words. I think this might be the scene with the least amount of distance between how each version adapts it -- at least in terms of the words used in her ladyship's conversation with Lizzy. Obviously adaptations sometimes change the setting or, in the case of 1940, the actual reason for the visit in the first place. I haven't done the math yet, but I am laying odds that 1940 will fall in last place, faithfulness-wise, while it's a toss up whether 1995 or 1967 will win the Most Faithful award. 1967 really nails this particular bit.
It's also really interesting to me that there are a couple of passages of dialog that NONE of the adaptations have included.
Anyway, back to it...
