In last weekend's Guardian, Andrew Pulver compares the book—Susan Orlean's The Orchid Thief, that is—with Adaptation in the paper's "Writer's Credit" series.

And just for good crumpety measure, here's a meditation on the latest version of Pride & Prejudice, also from the Guardian. ("It is a truth universally acknowledged that some people just don't get Jane Austen, can't see the point of her, would rather read the Yellow Pages. Not all of these sorry souls are troglodytes."...) I'm still getting over the blandly chatty, spotty stars in the American-friendly early trailer; they seem to have been clearasiled up in past weeks, if I'm not mistaken.
