Big Sass, Fat Bass, Scream At Own Ass

I mean I just scream and disassociate.

Me and my gf were talking abt good castings for Sir Walter Elliot and she suggested Jack Black and I was like "Jack Black could do any Bennet. Jack Black could do ALL the Bennets" so now my ideal P+P has Jack Black as the entire Bennet family, or at least Mrs. Bennet

Further thoughts on Jack Black as Mrs. Bennet

  • He is not in drag.
  • He is wearing a dress and a bonnet.
  • He is the only one who seems unaware/does not acknowledge that the 5 Bennet sisters are obviously adopted
  • bonus points if they're cast race-blind so they're OBVIOUSLY adopted
  • It's played straight that Jack Black was a renowned beauty in his day, which is how he snared a genteel husband
  • He is the only cast member not required to do a British accent
  • He is in fact encouraged to do a bad British accent but only sometimes
  • The bonnet that Jack Black wears is possibly the most ostentatious bonnet anyone has ever seen HOWEVER
  • Each time the camera cuts away and back, Jack Black is wearing a different bonnet.
  • A significant portion of the costume budget should go towards Jack Black's various bonnets
  • Mr. Bennet can wear the same outfit for the entire film that's in character for him
  • The changing bonnet gag is absolutely key to this film

@seatidesofthesoul you are one of several people tumblr has just decided I can’t message 🥲 but you definitely need to see this lol

Every scene where Mary is implied to be playing the piano poorly is now replaced with her absolutely shredding the keys while Mrs Bennet stands swaying in the crowd with a candle held aloft.

If anyone reading this has contact with Jack Black, PLEASE send it to him. I think he's the only person that would be more into this than anyone else in this post chain.

Some lady next to me at the airport was crying hysterically, she got up, came back with McDonald’s and she stopped crying the second she started eating

Ok but, either she put that on and inflated it as soon as she got off the airplane/train/bus, or she was wearing it the whole ride and both make me crack up
