And also interesting is the extended proposal scene in the extras. I think we all think they should have left the whole thing in. I will be SO waiting for you to come back once you've absorbed and just "felt" the whole experience. And once you do watch the whole thing, you'll have to read all of our Great North and South Crusade posts. There are contests *g*<BR/><BR/>DC: Hi!!! I miss you!! So - you've caught the fever too eh? <BR/>Isn't it WONDERFUL???

And how fun it would be to watch it with someone watching it for the first time. I'd be like - "Wait! Wait - it keeps getting better!"

But I wanted to let ya'll know I'm loving it! <BR/><BR/>I just got through the proposal scene, which was so emotionally charged. My goodness, I was practically hollering, "Just KISS her, it'll work!!" 'Course, he didn't. But I'll finish it tomorrow and will come back to gush.<BR/><BR/>Katie, you were right! I think Richard Armitage has an amazing set of bedroom eyes. Yowzer.

Those eyes don't hurt either...smolder smolder!<BR/><BR/>I got my entire family to watch it over the holidays and they ALL liked it.

Man, am I glad I did. Excellent movie! The story, the acting, the cinematography...were all wonderful! And Richard Armitage...geez, he was so hot! I also found myself comparing his character to Mr. Darcy and, I too, came away with the feeling that Thornton was the more compelling hero. I'm very glad I purchased my copy. Thanks for the recommendation! :-Ddancechicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10890938063309059435noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-49402460987479405242008-01-01T13:24:00.000-05:002008-01-01T13:24:00.000-05:00So, it's been a couple of months since I watched i...So, it's been a couple of months since I watched it. So I need to get it from the library again, watch it, and give it the review it deserves. But as y'all may have noticed I haven't been doing too much reviewing of...ANYTHING recently. Sigh. But I absolutely loved it. I even got my roomie to sit and watch it straight through which is an amazing feat because she's one that doesn't get to into movies/tv/etc. so that in itself is a testament to the appeal of N&S!Molliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08298293651117636036noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-38338681002310861822008-01-01T07:00:00.000-05:002008-01-01T07:00:00.000-05:00I have watched it today, and yesterday and the day...I have watched it today, and yesterday and the day before that!Marghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13508430635744720721noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10897259.post-25824027660505798712007-12-31T14:44:00.000-05:002007-12-31T14:44:00.000-05:00Oh sweet, sweet, sweet, sweet!

And your right! It isn't just Richard Armitage. As brilliant and compelling as he is in this production - it's so much more than just him!
