You can only really learn this sort of thing by listening. If you want high posh, listen to somebody like the delightful Brian Sewell. If you want posh posh (with, these days, a dash of age), somebody like Lady Pamela Hicks. If you want old days upwards posh, Evelyn Waugh; who was slightly less posh than his brother in arms Anthony Powell. If you want posh for the Ritz, go for the Mitford sisters—classic. If you want stately posh, the late Queen Elizabeth. If you want well to do posh, the now King. If you want common posh, listen to the Prince of Wales; his wife often talks a bit posher than he does, to compensate. If you want trash, listen to Harry. If you want not-posh posh, somebody like Stephen Fry. If you want mild, old era posh (my best beloved), turn to somebody like Clarissa Dickson Wright. If you want street posh, listen to one of those handsomely staid English actors, somebody like Colin Firth probably, or go to the Henley Regata and look for people wearing ridiculous clothing. If you want mannered posh, somebody like Jacob Rees-Moggins will do. If you want what passes for posh these days in the public imagination, hark at Boris Johnson, Richard Branson, and their ilk. If you want today's authentic posh, go to a (horse) race and look for young men wearing bright red trousers.

Posh is very much going out of fashion, so you’d best observe it in the wild while you still can.

Loving your blog, it's really helping me with my writing. I was wondering if you had any resources on "posh" english language? I am struggling to find the right words for a present time semi-posh english character. I keep using the "wrong" words - I know they are too "common" but can't think of proper alternatives that will make her sound more posh. I keep googling, but not with much success. If you've got any tips or resources that I could read in preparation, I would really appreciate it!

I don’t really write much on specific dialects or linguistics, but I have several posts that might have something along the lines of what you’re looking for. I’m sorry if you don’t find anything, but I don’t really specialize in that sort of thing.

Pride and Prejudice

Classic and loose adaptions from 1940, 1967, 1980, 1995, 2003, 2004, 2005, 2012, 2016, 2018, 2019

The second of Jane Austen’s novels, first published in 1813, is the most often adapted, inspiring various different takes on it. The ones pictures above are detailed below:

Pride and Prejudice (1940 Film)

This black and white film departs from the original novel in some (or should I say many?) points

Written by Aldous Huxley and Jane Murfin, adapted from the stage adaptation by Helen Jerome; directed by Robert Z. Leonard

Starring Greer Garson as Elizabeth Bennet, Laurence Olivier as Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy, Edward Ashley Cooper as George Wickham, Maureen O'Sullivan as Jane Bennet, Bruce Lester as Mr. Charles Bingley, Ann Rutherford as Lydia Bennet, Melville Cooper as Mr. William Collins, among others.

Pride and Prejudice (1967 Miniseries)

6 episodes x 24min. Black and White footage Written by Nemone Lethbridge, directed by Joan Craft

Starring Celia Bannerman as Elizabeth Bennet, Lewis Fiander as Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy, Richard Hampton as George Wickham, Polly Adams as Jane Bennet, David Savile as Mr. Charles Bingley, Lucy Fleming as Lydia Bennet, Julian Curry as Mr. William Collins, among others.

Pride and Prejudice (1980 Miniseries)

5 episodes x 54 min Written by Fay Weldon, directed by Cyril Coke

Starring Elizabeth Garvie as Elizabeth Bennet, David Rintoul as Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy, Peter Settelen as George Wickham, Sabina Franklyn as Jane Bennet, Osmund Bullock as Mr. Charles Bingley, Natalie Ogle as Lydia Bennet, Malcolm Rennie as Mr. William Collins, among others.

Pride and Prejudice (1995 Miniseries)

6 episodes x 54 min Written by Andrew Davies, directed by Simon Langton

Starring Jennifer Ehle as Elizabeth Bennet, Colin Firth as Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy, Adrian Lukis as George Wickham, Susannah Harker as Jane Bennet, Crispin Bonham-Carter as Mr. Charles Bingley, Julia Sawalha as Lydia Bennet, David Bamber as Mr. William Collins, among others.

Bride and Prejudice (2004 Film)

Bollywood-style Musical. Loose adaption set in modern India and England. Written by Paul Mayeda Berges, Gurinder Chadha; directed by Gurinder Chadha

Starring Aishwarya Rai as Lalita Bakshi (Elizabeth), Martin Henderson as William "Will" Darcy,  Daniel Gillies as Johnny Wickham, Namrata Shirodkar as Jaya Bakshi (Jane), Naveen Andrews as Mr Balraj Uppal (Bingley), Peeya Rai Chowdhary as Lakhi Bakshi (Lydia), Nitin Ganatra as Kohli Saab (Collins), among others.

Pride and Prejudice (2005 Film)

Written by Deborah Moggach, directed by Joe Wright

The Lizzie Bennet Diaries (2012–13 Webseries)

160 episodes x 2-8 min, available on Youtube Loose adaption set in modern US, told in a vlog format

Created by Hank Green and Bernie Su, from Pemberley Digital

Starring Ashley Clements as Elizabeth Bennet, Daniel Vincent Gordh as William Darcy, Wes Aderhold as George Wickham, Laura Spencer as Jane Bennet, Christopher Sean as Bing Lee, Mary Kate Wiles as Lydia Bennet, Julia Cho as Charlotte Lu, Maxwell Glick as Ricky Collins, among others.

Lizzie’s videos amount to 100 episodes + 10 Q&A, but shorter series enrich the story by offering other characters’ perspectives, most notably Lydia’s (and also Georgiana’s). A playlist at Pemberley Digital’s Youtube channel features them all in order.

The series has also been adapted into a book, The Secret Diary of Lizzie Bennet (2014), and spawned a sequel novel, The Epic Adventures of Lydia Bennet (2015).

Pride and Prejudice and Zombies (2016 Film)

Loose adaption inspired by the 2009 novel of the same name by Seth Grahame-Smith, which adds zombies to Austen’s original story. The movie makes alterations from the zombie book as well.

Written and directed by Burr Steers

Starring Lily James as Elizabeth Bennet, Sam Riley as Colonel Fitzwilliam Darcy, Jack Huston as George Wickham, Bella Heathcote as Jane Bennet, Douglas Booth as Mr. Charles Bingley, Ellie Bamber as Lydia Bennet, Matt Smith as Parson William Collins, among others.

Orgulho e Paixão (Pride and Passion) (2018 Telenovela)

Brazilian telenovela in Brazilian-Portuguese

162 episodes x 30-40min (original version) Loose adaption set in 1910s São Paulo state, Brazil

The story takes inspiration from all 6 of Austen’s major novels (plus Lady Susan), but mostly from Pride and Prejudice. Others stars include Chandelly Braz as Mariana Benedito (Marianne Dashwood) and Anajú Dorigon as Cecília Benedito (Catherine Morland).

Features 100 episodes in the International cut. The telenovela has been broadcast in other countries and languages (such as Spanish) but as far as I know, not in English.

Pride and Prejudice: Atlanta (2019 TV Film)

Loose adaption set in modern Atlanta, USA. All-black cast. Written by Tracy McMillan, directed by Rhonda Baraka

Starring Tiffany Hines as Elizabeth Bennet, Juan Antonio as Will Darcy, Raney Branch as Jane Bennet, Brad James as Charles Bingley, Reginae Carter as Lydia Bennet, Carl Anthony Payne as Rev. Collins, among others.

*****

Personal favorites: 2005, then 1995. But also: The Lizzie Bennet Diaries, Orgulho e Paixão

I also enjoyed Atlanta and, while it’s been a while since I’ve seen Bride and Prejudice, it’s got Indian musical numbers so c’mon, one gotta watch it.

Back to the closer adaptions, despite its age, 1980 is also good! 1940 is...very different, but fun in its own way.

In fact, while I find some of these versions weaker, I could find enjoyment in all of them - but maybe that’s cause I’m a sucker for P&P.

@annevbonny I went looking for my fic planning notes because of your silvermuldoon post and I found this shit. 'The idea of Muldoon having been a little in love with Logan...Muldoon - cursed to fall in love with people in love with others.' What the actual fuck is wrong with me?

BLACK SAILS (2014-2017) LUKE ARNOLD as JOHN SILVER & RICHARD WRIGHT-FIRTH as MULDOON

They say the worst of it don't last long. What the water does to you once it's got you. It makes you cold, makes you scared. It shows you things. Bad things. But then it warms you. It settles you. It shows you the places you've been. Like the people you've loved. They're all there waiting for you. It doesn't sound so bad.

Throwback to life as a pirate on the Walrus with @longlukearnold

The old Black Sails Urca De Lima actually became Garp's ship in One Piece.

Parts of the Walrus are now Frankensteined into Alvida's duck ship.

And I recently shot a US commercial on Vane's sloop.

Always great to be back at Cape Town Film Studios on these epic sets.

[weclassybouquetfun]

It’s coming up on my favourite time of year!  Nope, not The Oscars. No, that the Met Gala.  Uh-uh, not the Golden Globes.  Nyet, not the premiere of SUCCESSION. 

Okay, it’s coming up on one of my many favourite times of the year. It is almost CINEMACON!!

CinemaCon is the year convention presented by the National Association of Theater Owners (NATO) where the studios trot out their wares to the exhibitors who in turn try not to act as if their livelihoods aren’t being snatched away from them by the same studios. 

Originally called ShowWest from its inception in 1976 until 2011 when it underwent a title change, the event also have panels to discuss the state of the industry and the concerns of theater owners.  Normally held  annually in March, NATO waited until the 11th hour last year to cancel. But they were determined to hold one in 2021 so they hedged their bets and calendared it for August. Now there’s another variant -

on the move and it has given some studio executives cause for concern. Disney has already announced that while they will screen SHANG-CHI AND THE LEGENDS OF THE TEN RINGS

they will not do a formal presentation as they are not sending executives and other staffers out of safety concerns.

While the broad points of CinemaCon’s schedule has been released, there are no firm details on what exactly will be presented. Also, so there is no word on if they are presenting awards their specialized awards this year or if they will roll over last year’s winners.  Because the event was cancelled they didn’t only announced four winners from their 16-17 awards they give out.  As CinemaCon is about promoting the cinema for that year 2020′s recipients were reflective of that with Glen Powell being named  Male Star of Tomorrow because TOP GUN: MAVERICK was due to come out

Cary Mulligan for Award for Excellence in Acting because PROMISING YOUNG WOMAN was coming out and Michael B. Jordan for Paramount’s WITHOUT REMORSE, which they eventually unloaded to Amazon. 

The studio sked so far:

8/23 - Sony. A three hour presentation so I am guessing they will do GHOSTBUSTERS: AFTERLIFE, Sony Pictures Classics MOTHERING SUNDAY (starring Oliva Colman, Colin Firth, Josh O’Connor),  maybe some chatter about when they will start production on KRAVEN starring Aaron-Taylor Johnson; THE MITCHELLS VS. THE MACHINE, VENOM: LET THERE BE CARNAGE, MOBIUS and SPIDER-MAN: NO WAY HOME.

8/24 - MGM/UA: A 2 hr 15 min. presentation. I’m guessing NO TIME TO DIE, HOUSE OF GUCCI, discussion of CREED III and Channing Tatum’s DOG.

          WB: A 1 hr 30 min. presentation. I suspect the DC films will take up a wide berth THE BATMAN, SHAZAM: FURY OF THE GODS, THE FLASH, BLACK ADAM, AQUAMAN 2 and DUNE, Clint Eastwood’s CRY MACHO and Will Smith’s KING RICHARD.   Then I think they will pause to let the exhibitors pelt their light dinner at them over the announcement that WB is given AMC a 45-day theatrical window for their 2022 slate.

8/25 - NEON - A one-hour presentation. I suppose Pablo Larrain’s SPENCER with Kristen Stewart as Princess Di (which has already screened in L.A).

UNIVERSAL: A 1hr 30 min. presentation. I can see them patting themselves on the back for the success of F9. Very likely CANDYMAN (which is a co-production with MGM/UA), JURASSIC WORLD: DOMINION

and HALLOWEEN KILLS.

FOCUS FEATURES:  Part of Universal’s presentation.  Very likely DOWNTOWN ABBEY 2 and  Edgar Wright’s LAST NIGHT IN SOHO.

8/26: PARAMOUNT: A 2 hr and 15 presentation where they will likely try to explain to the theater owners why they sold off a number of their films to streaming instead of waiting out the global pandabear. I expect TOP GUN: MAVERICK will be part of the discussion is will JACKASS FOREVER, Channing Tatum’s and Sandra Bullock’s LOST CITY OF D, 

and MISSION IMPOSSIBLE 7 and teasing MISSION IMPOSSIBLE 8 which is due out in 2023.

I think poor Cary Elwes is the only one who has wrapped on this long a** production.

LIONSGATE: A 90 minute presentation. Dollars to donuts talk the Jennifer Lopez action/comedy SHOTGUN WEDDING

JOHN WICK 4, which just added Clancy Brown to the cast and Maggie Q’s THE PROTEGE
