They're brilliant. As always. So taking #78 and of course crediting! ♥

Ahahaha, I'm glad you like them - it's been a while since I've put together a Meryl batch. Figured I needed to celebrate her SAG win SOMEHOW. ;)

These are AWESOME.
PLUS Falling in Love! I've never seen so many great icons of this wonderful film.
And the SAG haha, taking quite a few, thank you.

You're MOST welcome, I'm glad you like! XD

I've had a minor obsession with Falling In Love since I saw it for the first time last year - have been storing up the icons for a while, and decided I'd better post them all now before I make MORE.

Ahahaha it's such an underappreciate film. I got it for Christmas and I can't get enough of it. I've been waiting for someone less lazy then I am to make some. And this is more then enough haha.
Oh I know the feeling. You keep telling yourself you don't have enough to psot then you end up with a post with over 100 icons and then you understand you had enough 2 weeks ago. haha.

I think it's a tough film to LOVE though - I can SEE why so many people think it's poorly-scripted and not one of either Bobby or Meryl's best films. I happen to disagree, of course, but I CAN see why it isn't better-loved or known than it is.

Always happy to help people lazier than myself. Then again, I make icons to avoid being hardworking in RL. Hmm. What does that say about me? ;)

OMG OMG OMG! AFJDALGHALGH! SO MUCH LOVE IN THIS POST!

And it's perfect because I was just about to clean out some old icons and get new ones. And now, BAM! Because Meryl ones to pick from!!

Annnd.... FALLING IN LOVE! GAAH!

Yeah, I am taking a bunch. Definitely 45 because OMG BEAUTIFUL! And 33 because that moment kills me. And 24 and 26 are amazing and so is 18. And 72 makes me laugh hysterically for reasons that have nothing to do with the icon and everything to do with an inside joke with some friends of mine. And I have to take at least one animated one but I'm not sure which one yet. So basically... yeah, there will be much snaggage.

ellixian January 27 2009, 14:14:38 UTC

EEEEEEEK. I'm SO happy that these icons can help a little in your icon clean-out. XD Literally I've had over half of the Falling In Love icons on my hard drive for MONTHS, ever since I watched the movie last year - and decided I had to post them or I NEVER would. ISN'T IT AN AMAZING MOVIE.

Your feedback = ♥ Thank you so much, hon! Those moments you picked in FIL KILL ME. As long as Bobby isn't trying to KISS Meryl (he always looks as if he's trying to eat her alive!), I'm good. They have smokin' chemistry.

I'm glad #72 made you LOL! It's the FIRST caption that came to mind when I saw that pic, so it HAD to be done. XD

girlie_girl_23 January 27 2009, 14:31:19 UTC

They seriously do help! IT IS AMAZINGNESS OF ALL AMAZINGNESS! ajldfjlagh! I really need to watch it again.

Aww. Well, your icons = ♥ And LOL, I totally know what you mean. Oh Bobby.

It is amazing. And makes me giggle so much. We have this running joke since our acting classes last year where Kayla, Kristen and I will, in times of stress or just because, clasp our hands, look up like that and go "Are you there vodka (or parrot bay or whatever alcohol we wish we were having at that moment), it's me, Tiff (or Kristen or Kayla)". And Kristen and Kayla both really like Meryl as well... so it just made me giggle a lot. /random story.

LOL, ARE YOU THERE, VODKA. FAVOURITE STORY OF THE DAY, FOR SERIOUS.

You did Mary Louise Streep Gummer proud...these made my friggin day!!! How adorable was she at the SAG awards!?

ellixian January 27 2009, 15:17:22 UTC

She was five million kinds of TOO adorable. Seriously. Her dorkout when her name was announced? MADE MY LIFE. Glad you like! XD

alexia88 January 27 2009, 14:57:57 UTC

Hey icons!!! ♥ These are gorgeous hon - that first movie looks so good and I can't believe I've never seen it before! Going on my LoveFilm rental list for sure.

Can't even begin picking favourites, but numbers 7, 16, 46 and 61 through 65 (is it wrong that I love that dress?!) are especially epic. Love love love.

ellixian January 27 2009, 15:19:54 UTC

Ahaha, there's a reason you've not seen Falling In Love before - it's a curio of a film. See, it's like Brief Encounter with Meryl and De Niro... which one would think SHOULD make it a classic. But the script isn't great. What I love about it is what goes on in between the words and in the performances. But not a CLASSIC film by any accepted definition, I'm afraid. Still, I LOVE IT.

You are SO SWEET. And it's NOT a crime to love the dress. When I first saw it, I was, like, WTF?! But I LOVE IT now. She looks lovely in it and I appreciate the sentiment. XD
