Blond(e)s don't necessarily have more fun

[donnaimmaculata]

I should be writing my HP Beholder fic, but the muses aren’t cooperating (someone poke me with a pointy stick), and so I decided to make a picspam instead that is most relevant to my interests.

So. This picspam is brought to you by the fact that I watched Being Human last week and then checked out Desperate Romantics and, despite not being sold on

Pretty! *drools*

And I can’t forgive the BBC for the horrible casting of Mr Wickham in the otherwise excellent miniseries.

Huh? Care to elaborate?

[donnaimmaculata]

I mean the miniseries with Colin Firth, of course.

Whilst everybody else is excellent, Mr. Wickham is too old and just not, I don't know, playfully and charmingly hot. He is more of an old sleaze, especially when contrasted with 15-years-old Lydia.

Mr. Wickham should be in his mid or late twenties, and be very pretty and hot! The film version with Keira Knightley actually got it right, but he just didn't have enough screen time.

[anehan]

Ah, I see. *nods sagely*

[donnaimmaculata]

It jarrs only because I like Mr Wickham, and I think he needs to be charming and seductive in order to fulfil his role within the narrative, i.e. to be the man Lizzie is initially smitten with.

Clearly, I have given it much too much thought.

Heh...I'll bet you didn't mean me, did you? *g*

I'm writing, I'm writing!

The concept is all there, all I need to do is arrange the words in the right order.

Remington Steele was so totally grown-up! Today's men - not so much.

That was a fun picspam to make. Glad you found some enjoyment in it ;-)

Sorry, I think you might've mentioned poking you with the pointy stick, but I can't remember anything because my mind is full of PRETTY! *stares*

Well, I did sneakily sneak in Keanu Reeves at his Very Hottest.

[donnaimmaculata]

Keanu was like seriously The Man for me back then. And My own private Idaho is pornier and hotter than any porn, ever.

I've started to watch Wedding Belles, but - guess what - I found the Scottish accent so hard to follow. So I went looking for subtitles, didn't find any and haven't picked it up yet.

A RL friend of mine whom I made watch Green Wing fell in love with her, too. He said it was the first time in his life that he was seriously tempted to write fanmail.

[donnaimmaculata]

Yay! What with your wedding coming up, it'd be a most appropriate film to watch.

I don't have a problem with Scottish accents if the characters interact with English speakers; the actors presumably tone it down then. But in an all-Scottish cast they get carried away!
