the fandom gods are against me

For real. I hopped off to Quiapo awhile ago, hoping I'd be able to get my hands on a DVD of Mars but nooo. It sounds like they haven't even heard of it! What's more annoying is that they have bunches of these DVDs of Korean dramas that I haven't heard about! It's annoying because that place is more or less an hour away. Guh

I'm glad you liked Pride and Prejudice. It's such an awesome movie :D I haven't seen the BBC version myself, but my friend said it's the same with uglier actors :D

[illuxtris]

LOL, I'm sure a lot would protest the 'uglier actors' part with regards to Colin Firth. :P

[aeraqua]

lol! not him. The actresses. I heard they're not really pretty. But I dunno.

[illuxtris]

LOL, you are safe then! :D Everyone's raving about Firth's Darcy, so I have to see it. You know, be objective and all. :D

[illuxtris]

Yup! We have it dubbed and the voice just...'sucks' is putting it lightly. I'd rather go with subtitles.

[illuxtris]

OMG, really?! Why can't they send them over here? Like, now? *cries* I wish I had a private jet so I could fly over there and get one, LOL.

I'm just jealous that you have a place selling bootleg copies. *sigh*

I pre-ordered Goblet of Fire, though, so.. I'm waiting patiently after two failed attempts of getting it from Limewire.

Heh, I also though that guy was Orlando.. creepy, but not that I am complaining :3

The BBC version is excellent although you perhaps get used to the fact that
a) it isn't that 'glamorous' as the 2005 version
b) not everybody it itty-pretty
c) Mrs Bennet should be shot. XD Seriously, she is SO annoying, one of the most nerve-racking characters in film history.

Colin Firth is brilliant - I like him very much, he is also in 'Love Actually' ^____^

[illuxtris]

Well, we do know how Mrs Bennet is terribly annoying. :D This 2005 P&P Mrs Bennet was actually annoying me a little already, I was really hoping Lizzie would shout at her or something. :D But, if she annoyed, then that means BBC Mrs Bennet would make me want to throw things. Oooh. :D

Ohh, I saw Colin Firth in Love Actually! Except it's been a while since I saw it last so I can't remember what story he was involved in (strangely, I do remember Alan Rickman's story quite well *g*). I was thinking 'ooh, so this is the Colin Firth I've been hearing about' though!

[mellafe]

YES! He does look like Orlando, but more smug. Haha.

You've totally made me enjoy soundtracks, woman. I've been listening to a couple of OSTs and I never ever had before, which is kinda cool. My player is full of Narnia and Amelie and Mirrormask. I should get more, yes? Rec me!

I'd love the Pride&Prejudice soundtrack but i can't find it, I do have a fanmix someone made and ohhhh, it's pretty.

[illuxtris]

The P&P soundtrack was nice, yes. I'll try and find a copy and share it with you if I do find one. :D

Oh and Mirrormask -- I've seen a lot of copies of that where I bought the DVDs. Was the movie good? I didn't know if it was, so I didn't get it.

As for recs...well, Kingdom of Heaven is nice, IMO! Like I said, same composer as Narnia's, and it has that nice Middle Eastern feel to it at times. At the moment, I'm listening to The Man in the Iron Mask and totally loving it, I have this thing for grandiose kind of OSTs. If you want it, just tell me and I'll ask fierytempest if I can share her link with you. :) I'm still downloading The Count of Monte Cristo, will get back to you if I love that as well, but fierytempest raves about it so it must be good. :D

Er what else? I haven't listend to Children of Dune fully, just bits of the tracks, so when I actually get down to listen to it, I'll tell you. :D I'm sure I'm forgetting a few OSTs I have, so I'll get back to you on that! Heh.
