Saw Pride and Prejudice this weekend, and Matthew MacFayden as Mr. Darcy? Gah!! Swoon. If any woman in that audience was not thoroughly in love with him, she has to be a lesbian. Because he was "teh secks." Now this is a title that up until now has been reserved for Marlon Brando in A Street Car Named Desire, but my friends and I agreed to allow MacFayden's Darcy to hold the title for the evening. It's a sin they didn't give Darcy another smiling scene b/c...wow, we all melted in that one he was giving.
Other notes on the film other than Darcy's hottness--the cinematography (woah! spelling!) was positively gorgeous and there were so many cut-less scenes where the reel just kept going. Kiera Knightly didn't bother me in the least--she usually does--and I loved her as Lizzie. And hurray for Jane actually being pretty! And Mary <3! I loved ( I suppose this is a spoiler and wouldn't want to unwittingly spoil some poor soul who wandered here by accident ) Speaking of Mr. Bennet, Donald Sutherland was awesome. Really, everyone was wonderfully cast--especially Mr. Collins. He was perfect. And Mr. Bingly. (He had really pretty eyes, I noticed.)
...And I really cannot wait til the DVD comes out. I must now go off and search for a good Mr. Darcy icon. **whoosh**
