Shreya - I know! I'm too much of a fan to take of P&P siggy just yet. I loved this version of P&P with Colin Firth as Darcy and Jennifer Ehle as Elizabeth. Rest of the characters were okay too. What I liked most about this version was that it pretty much stayed true to the book. It was actually a stroke of luck - I had watched this P&P recently and sighted this siggy in someone else's siggy box. I shamelessly flicked it without asking for permission or without knowing who the original creator was. All I cared about was that it was the perfect siggy for me. 😃

Edit: I like couple of scenes like the hospital scene where Anant admires Navya's maturity when she walks away, the scene where she is sitting by her window daydreaming and also the college scene where she feeds him a story and he is amused.


*squees*

REALLY loudly.

What-aa ? I'm a Colin Firth/Darcy/The Lake Darcy fangirl :P

I love this series LadyM ! For me , it remains the definitive P&P adaptation ... the book's one of my all-time favourites , I read it when I was in the sixth grade I think , and well , I've been a Darcy fangirl since then :P *sigh* I know...they were true to the book , but they were slightly revisionist as well I guess...the lake scene ! :P :P Even in some other portions...they changed things , but never without betraying the spirit of the book I guess...the acting was superb in it , particularly Jennifer Ehle I thought...people remember Colin Firth from the series , even now , say BBC's P&P series and they'll be like : The one with Colin Firth ? In the lake ? 😆 But I thought she got Elizabeth's character perfectly...with the whole arch/teasing mannerisms and everything...Keira Knightley was nowhere close in the 2005 movie though she was pretty good as well...and don't even get me started on the 2005 Darcy :P

It's practically impossible to find sigs of this version...there are loads of icons, but I haven't found any sigs...and I've trawled LJ :P :P

Heyaa,

Sorry about gatecrashing.. Was meaning to post in this CC since a couple of months back, just got about posting now. talks a lot about my timeliness :p

I wanted to say that I enjoy reading this CC, (or stalking may be the right word, I guess). I read this CC ON and OFF and couple of things tht I like are the strong opinions about series/characters and ability to have discussions without being offended by opposing views.

I do not watch TV that often, but I like reading about characters and their impact. I love reading for eg, the Booth and Bones discussion that happens here, though I haven't watched any. and of course the LTL ones. Though I have only watched scenes of the show On and oFF (mainly for MR), I like the way they are analysed here. Umm.. now does that make a fangirl of this CC? 🤔

Hoping there is a common series at some point, where I could participate in your discussions...

Err.. Sorry again about gatecrashing.. 😳 now will withdraw as gracefully as I can ...

Hi Mru! :-) Were you in the R.com forum as well?? I remember vaguely interacting with you there as well or is that my imagination?😆

Welcome to the CC! Oh no worries about gatecrashing...we are always happy to welcome FANGIRLS of our CC😛😆...Jokes apart, feel free to join in on the discussions :-)...Oh you're a BnB fan too? Nice! Although the show is maha boring in the latter half of the season sadly *sigh*...yesterday's finder/locater epi was so weird that I couldn't even manage to watch more than 15-20 minutes and just turned off my TV😆😕...if that show gets picked up, I am going to be quite surprised...looked like a REALLY boring show to me.

Oh and you watched bits of LTL too? You have good taste then😆...MR is superb.

Oh PLEASE. Baat karti ho *scowls* You KNOW I don't say stuff unless I mean it...and you KNOW I like simple stuff , because simple stuff is alwaysss pretty...and the colouring and blending came out so prettily ! 😳

WEREN'T you telling me that I was your GURU a couple of pages back ? Ha. Jab bade baat kiya karte hai , beech mein nahi bolte. :P


Arre I'll be happy to use anything and everything you make :) As long as Dirty Harry isn't in it.

Dirty Harry. Bow to my infinite capacity for filmi references.

Hey Anu,

Ur memory is great. I wasnt that active in the R.com, just posted in a few posts there at some time. But yes, I am a fan of that show, though started following it late.

Thanks for the welcome to the fangirly side of me :) .. I am not a BnB fan, just watched a few eppys, but I love the way you all here analyse them.

MR is more than superb. I am not invested in LTL, at all, but do catch a few MR scenes. He stands a class apart from the current crop of actors on television. Used to follow Kismat for a while, then lost touch and now I have a lott to catch up and errr, that is enough for a lazybones like me to keep on deferring it even further ...

@Anu: Dude! Mahi looks SO different without her caked-on trademark makeup!! And she's wearing a suit!! See! I like this look far better than her western cake-piece looks that she does each time. With that purple shiney dress and now the pink wala.. I don't know - I like the bring pick suit better!

Hey LadyM!! 😃 I just changed my sig dabba too but then I toh remained within my LTL realms.. 😆 But I love looking at all the different sigs you guys put up! I live vicariously through all your sig dabbas! 🤣🤣🤣

Hey Mru! 😃 Arey don't worry about being a CC stalker - I was this CCs stalker too initially! *fans herself* I LUBBB this CC! *fangirly muh* 🤣🤣🤣

Shreya, I love your Sholey wali avi! Kya khichri pak rahi hai donon k beech! Lol!! And the "Tumhara kya naam hai Basanti!" 🤣🤣🤣 Such a classic movie that was.. And then there was "Ram Gopal Varma ki Aag".. *shudders*

I agree with the 1995 version being more close to the book. I watched the 2005 movie. I just couldnt connect with it. It seemed too fluffy, ( not that the original book is anything deep, but still). And Jennifer Ehle played Elizabeth the way I had imagined her to be, when I had read the book for the first time. Colin Firth, I loved him. He was a MAN in that series .

Regarding the dude who played the Darcy in the 2005 movie ( my memory fails me as usual on his name), he was too boyish for Darcy. But i loved him in another British movie, "Death at a funeral".

That was a movie that I picked just like that at Blockbuster and started watching it without any expectations and had such a good time. It has a whacky British humor and also sometimes gross. But I was literally rofling at a few places. Not recommended to watch during dinner though ( I made the mistake of doing just that .. and err.. no comments 😆)

@Fivr, thanks for the welcome .. 😃

@bold: Oooh just for that you get honorary free membership to this CC for LIFE!😎👏😆...Yes, MR is a class apart...I've never been such a huge fangirl of any actor in my life...he's a genius actor...he deserves to achieve greater heights in his career...What he's done as Dutta in LTL especially...superlative stuff...I'll always remember it.

Oh yeah the R.com forum had such few ppl in it anyways, I remember almost everyone I interacted with at some point or the other😆
