Colin Firth or Matthew MacFadyen; that is the question?
Lol, we are all in agreement about Macfadyen then. :D<3 Macfadyen. *sigh* You are all going to make me watch Colin Firth now aren't you?
Mod
After thing debate you will have to now! :D
*sigh* You will all be incredibly disappointed after/if I do watch it, and then my support for Macfadyen has not moved one iota. :P
Well I have watched the BBC Series twice and Mac is still Mr. Darcy for me.
i NEED to watch firth over thanksgiving break *sigh* but ur debates r so so...CUTE

:D Of course I would! I would of course to no end hate admitting it, but it would not be fair not to tell you. :) However, I very much love the 05 version, so all I am saying is that I do not expect a change. :P
Mod
And j am not saying your support for Mac would fade one iota but I believe you would be able to give more credit and praise to Firth's performance having watched it all the way through (it is also nice to see so many more scenes come to life as the series is accurate)
You sounds very much like me. When I was told to watch it, I was like nothing can beat the film! I had also watched clips on YouTube and thought it looked so boring! But then I watched it and fell in love with it! True story!

Hmmmmm, LOL - If I was giving credit and praise to Firth, you know me, I would be bringing in Macfadyen ever twenty seconds just to point out my un-faded support. :D I'm sure it would be nice to see more scenes. :)

macfayden just made me melt and squeal consecutively every five sec lets see if firth has the same effect..
lol, you have it bad. Have you heard him narrating P and P? I heard a small of it on Youtube. Reading the comments was a treat, hehe
Here you go:http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WX_YES...*Warning* If he really makes you melt, do not listen to this with headphones ;P.
Mod
They are moments which will make you melt I am sure (I can think of the in my head) watching it won't make you like MacFadyen any less so you should watch it ;D
Definitely Matthew MacFadyen he is so darcylicious.He had the voice the looks the body He's - just plain sexy!

I'm with all the Colin Firth fans. :) For basically the same reasons they posted, so I'll refrain from repeating them.
Mod
But then I still live CF!
Maybe I will never pick!!
I was watching the proposal - the first time, when he was cruelly snubbed and rejected by Elizabeth - and he was like PERFECT in that scene. Siighhh. *gazes dreamily into the distance*
Wow, a lot of messages since I was last on, I'll try to reply to everyone :D.Caro, Macfadyen makes me melt too, and I've listened to him narrating some of P&P too - I agree with Marren, I listened to it with headphones and I kind of died.
Jo, I totally agree with you. :)
Soph, <3 yes, take comfort in knowing you have made marginal progress in your campaign. And I honestly don't think you will or ever should pick between them!
Mod
And It is really controversial ;)
And I agree, I think the 1st proposal is perfect (after having seen it all build up in the first half of the series)
oh yes the proposal i was hoping the second was a little bit more romantic but oh well
Mod
been watching the 1995 all day on youtube!!
Caro wrote: "been watching the 1995 all day on youtube!!"Awesome! So, what do you think?
Mod
Yes! What do you think!?! Where are you up to?
ughhh i dont know! havent finished it yet i feel like firths better looking but macfaydens so....ah idk yet
I know what I'll do on my day off school, this friday. I shall watch P&P 2008, and P&P 1995. :) I don't remember Macfayden as well as I do Firth...
Mod
Hehe, I watched 05 again yesterday *goes of into happy daydreams*
I'm going to watch it this week, I think :)
Cool! I might watch it tomorrow, if I have time... :)
Mod
I think I'm gonna watch P&P 95 while I pack... ;)
Soph wrote: "Now I want to!!"Hehe, go ahead Soph. :)
i finished the 1995 p and p over break!!!!
Mod
IM COLIN FIRTH OVER MACFAYDEN yes it was awesome long but still i think the actors were better but i like the dramatized setting and plot of 2005 even if it didnt follow the book exactly
Mod
Glad you enjoyed it! Firth is really great isn't he?
(not taking away from MM though ;) )
lol yes converted! watched the firth proposal then macfayden then back and firth is just simply cuter and more idk real?
I totally agree. They both show both (which I think is also the idea) just it comes off (from some important quotes throughout) that Darcy is the pride and Lizzy the prejudice but there is some of each in each.
Agree about Mac as well :)
And Caro haha. See this is always a huge debate among Janeites!! ;D
