That Mr. Darcy

Disclaimer: I will deny having every watched this mini-series (See below)

If I did watch it, well, it was my Evil Twin. Sirhc Hardy (he has a goatee, and everyone knows, I can’t grow goatees).

He gave me the down low on this evvvilllll Mini Series.

That’s the ticket.

Anyways, to the questions Leigh (disclaimer: she’s married to apparently my former best friend, they have two kids, one which appears to like collecting loose change. I’m hiding my change next time you are up here Leigh 🙂 ) presented.

1) Mr. Skeevy Collins: WHAT? He has only the best wave in the history of mankind. The way he proposes. I can only hope to one day to get that down. I mean, Lady Catherine de Bourgh is his patroness. How can he be bad at all?

Did I mention he has only the most awesome hand wave in history?

2) I just don’t get it, he doesn’t have wit, charm, intelligence and sincerity like Moi?

(Disclaimer: I have ah.. Never watched Pride and Prejudice. Never)

Well.

Now that I’ve settled that, onto more important people. Mr. Darcy.

Did I mention I learned all I know about P&P from Futurama? (that I like to poke fun at it)

Oh.

Back to Mr. Darcy.

You know, the more I think about it, he could almost be my hero from the Mini Series (That I have Never, Never, Never seen). I am talking the from the first 16 1/2 hours of the Mini series, not the wussy one from the last 28 3/5 hours of the show. I’m talking, he had the CHOPS (both literaly and figuritively.). He knew where he stood in life.

And what was up with all the DANCING?? I mean really? Those poor guys! No wonder they looked grumpy all the time!

I mean common now, Elizabeth, should have been overjoyed that he was proposing to her, but noooooooooooo, she had to cop some tude, and make him feel bad. Then he became all Wussified!

I mean look. Does he look HAPPY at ALL? and she just looks smug!

That Poor poor Mr. Darcy.

I was going to make some Cafe Press shirts that had photos of Mr. Collins on them, but that’s a no no. So I’ll have to figure out to do it another way. It’s hard figuring these things out when you are 232 years old.

I mean any movie/book with the following quotes is plainly evil:

“For what do we live, but to make sport for our neighbors, and laugh at them in our turn?”

“A lady’s imagination is very rapid; it jumps from admiration to love, from love to matrimony, in a moment.”

And the WORST:

It is a truth universally acknowledged, that a single man in possession of a good fortune, must be in want of a wife.

Disclaimer: I’m just relaying all this info from my evil twin. I’ve never been forced to watch this, nor any other Jane Austin movie. Nor for that matter, have I had to watch Anne of Green Gables (which I may, or not make fun of in the future)
