Director Autumn de Wilde's new adaptation of Emma starring Anya Taylor-Joy, thanks to the plague, has been shuffled off onto this here internet for rental already; I might not have loved it -- I reviewed it here -- but I did walk out of it convinced that the actor Johnny Flynn seen here (who plays Mr. Knightley) might just end up being...

... an excellent choice to play Dickie Greenleaf opposite Andrew Scott in the new Talented Mr. Ripley that's getting made, and honestly that was my main concern. (Besides what they did with Clueless I've never been a huge fan of Jane Austen in general.) No, Johnny might not be Jude Law, but he's got a certain something.

And no I didn't specifically mean his butt, but his butt doesn't hurt. Anyway besides leaving this version of Emma with a confidence in Flynn's, um, abilities, I also left it with an inflammation in my Downton-adjacent fetish for the sight of a gentleman and his valet being intimate with one another, so let's hit the jump for the rest of this blessed scene...
