pride and prejudice

colin firth is just too adorable as darcy--look! he's so conflicted! and so worthy of those transparent scenes in the pond and the bath and with the fencing master!

that said, i never have found the end of p&p entirely emotionally satisfying. i suppose it was a fairly early work, and left alone austen might have come into her full powers, and outgrown her fear of the power of the emotional climax.

i at first thought the elizabeth too pretty. certainly she was prettier than jane, which was silly, but her figure would not have been considered good for that time, and from certain angles her face might appear less than perfectly attractive, i guess. i'm grasping at straws here because i did like her in the part a great deal.

lydia looked disturbingly like an ugly helena bonham-carter. and bingley was played by someone whose name was bonham-carter (^.^).

random potc thought

i really love norrington, but jack/norrington annoys me. i can't decide what to do with him that doesn't upset my ot3 or get extremely angsty. (i liked the idea of gillette at first; but on further watching i think gillette is not intelligent enough for him. i'm less sure about groves. but i'm still inclined to think him unworthy.)
