It’s hard for me to draw men’s faces. If I don’t use references, they end up looking like Orlando Bloom as Legolas.
I enjoyed Dave’s impromptu Jane Austen Reacher pitch. It made me think of P.D. James’ genre-blending whodunit, Death Comes To Pemberley. It’s a sequel to Pride and Prejudice written as a murder mystery. The BBC did an adaptation of it in 2013. The prime suspect is George Wickham who is played with suitable desperation by Matthew Goode, before his turn as a vampire professor.
I want to see a sequel to Eighth Grade called First Year. I’d be curious to see how the lead is coping with the highs and lows of her freshman year of college. In my first year, I came down with mono, without the benefit of having been kissed. What was your worst memory of your first year of college?
“Impromptu” was the word.
