i have a confession.
i have a new obsession.
pride and prejudice.
to be more specific...matthew mcfadyen.
i read this critic's review of his performance in p&p and i absolutely agree 100%!
"Matthew McFadyen is, possibly, an even better Mr. Darcy than Colin Firth (though that pains me to say): his Darcy is sensitive, prone to moodiness and shows of the Stiff Upper Lip, but his eyes don't always manage to keep up the mask, and it is this that makes him amazing. When his eyes do light up, it is stunning. He positively smolders with passion, even soaking wet with pleading in his eyes. Or perhaps especially soaking wet. In any case, he smolders. Bosoms will heave, corsets or not, when he's onscreen."
i think it's the brooding thing that gets me. he's a real man's man. it's kinda sad of me because i've been going on the fan sites of matthew m's and reading forum threads even though they're a year old. (i always jump on the band wagon later than everyone..) i've seen the movie 2 and half times now... and i watch my favourite scenes on youtube. actually they have the whole movie posted on youtube.. but the sound is really low.. and i hate having to stop when someone calls in. but i think i only like him as mr darcy.. i've seen some clips of spooks and other shows of his.. but i'm not crazy about them. also he doesn't look as good in those shows as he does in tights.
sigh****
i'm reading the book again. i stopped half way because i was getting confused but now that i watched the movie.. it's an easier read. even though i have to look up every second word it seems. i think i'm going to make a matthew mcfadyen bookmark.. so everytime i stop reading.. i can look at his handsome face.. ha oh god. i'm going to stop now.
i know. i'm a loser. so sorry.
