peppermintesseAn hilarious recap of the 1995 BBC Pride & Prejudice here. Favourite quote:
"Bingley and Jane dance. Bingley smiles at Darcy, standing on the sidelines. Darcy smiles indulgently back and rolls his eyes. Well, I say he smiles back, but you must understand that Colin Firth, as Darcy, never actually moves any facial muscles. It's as if Colin Firth was like, 'Hmm, I wonder if I can go the entire mini-series without ever changing my facial expression. At all.' For some reason, though, every emotion clearly shows through. It's very strange. He has the most expressive unexpressive face I've ever seen."
ETA: Darn, it's only part 1, not the whole miniseries!
ETA2: Here are all the parts. Hoorah!
ETA3: Another excellent laugh-out-loud quote, from Part 3:
"Humble Abode, The Parlor of Marital Discontent. Colonel Fitzwilliam is played by a very lucky young man, because he, despite the stiff competition offered by Wickham, Denny, Darcy, and various others, has been awarded the Bridget Jones Award for Man Who Most Needs to Rethink the Length of His Sideburns. Mutton-chops, I tell you, mutton-chops!"
ETA4: Inspired by above: had to created new icon. Thank you,![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
