Some Additional Stalky Screencaps
I created a ton of screencaps from the Stalky & Co. DVD, many of which didn't make it into my review. I thought some of you might appreciate it if I shared the most flattering of the Robert Addie screencaps here. If you don't then you're an ass, a putrid ass. *g* ( Cough it up, ducky. )
Well, thank you for taking a look at them! I'm glad you like them! :-D
These show an awesome range of Stalky's moods and expressions. The first is a bit Woosterish; the sixth is rather touchingly pensive and sad (and pretty!).
Yes, perhaps that first one shouldn't be described as "flattering," but I cracked up when I first saw the screencap and had to include it in this post. Robert Addie actually ends up making three or four amusing faces in reaction to Prout's lecture, including some very good eye-rolling. The sixth one is from "The Moral Reformers". I think it's when he finds out that Beetle has lost Clewer and they don't know where he is and whether he's fallen into the hands of the bullies.
I also like the one where he and M'Turk are clinking tea cups.
Yes, that's also a favourite of mine. It's a beautiful shot. :-)
And the clothes! What kind of hats are those in the last pic, do you know?
Well, Stalky's hat is described as being a top hat in the original story, so I'm assuming that this is what Stalky and Turkey are wearing. Robert Addie's hat seems a bit short for a top hat, but maybe that was the fashion in the early 1880s (which is when I'm assuming this takes place as it would have been when Kipling was in his late adolescence). Maybe it's the colour. but, to me, Stalky's hat looks a bit like a cross between a top hat and a bowler. *g*
