Jeeves movies!
I thought it would be of interest to those of you with Netflix memberships to know that recently, Netflix got two of the old movies starring Arthur Treacher as Jeeves.
Both movies are on the same disk. I will say right off that Fry & Laurie remain the definitive J&W, but Thank you, Jeeves is definitely worth watching. David Niven upholds the code of the Woosters as Bertie. The movie opens with him spiritedly playing the drums just like the Bertie we all know and love. Treacher has several wonderfully dry Jeevesian lines.
I recommend skipping the other movie. Bertie isn't in it, and as the central premise of the movie, Jeeves does something stupid. OOC much?
Also, there are short features about Plum's life, though I'm sure it's old news to a lot of you.
P.S. Long as I'm posting, I've been waiting for a chance to bring this comm's attention to some fics that I really think are of interest. Not fanfiction, but fiction about fanfic writers. They're at![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
mina_de_malfois. Arc and Mina, the two lead characters, closely and intentionally resemble Jeeves and Wooster. The style is also fairly Woodhousian, and the stories are demmed good.
