My son, who for some reason was quite slow to catch on, now refers to him as "That Darcy Dude" (although I'm pretty sure he's caught me watching FP, BJD and MLSF at least as often as P&P). He has also grasped that fanfic revolves around Darcy, although thus far I don't believe he knows exactly why Mom likes the fanfic so much ;-), thank heavens!

Hi everyone, I haven't had a chance to visit the board in a while but I hope you are all doing well and surviving the 'colin news' drought....at least it feels that way. I've been catching up on the all the posts and just couldn't stop laughing when I read about how ODB is being referred to by your DHs! Since I am single, I've gone all out in my obsession for "The Darcy Dude" but the unlucky guy I may one day snag will have to understand, infact that's crucial. ....there fore I will be a spinster and will be found eaten by Alsatians (spell?) or turn up like Glenn Close in Fatal attraction. Ok I'm watching too much BJD. Rika, I'm so jealous that you may be going to England on a holiday...do you think you can fit me in in your luggage? I won't take up too much space and I swear, I'll be quiet as a mouse... : )

My DH and I are off tomorrow to the Frankfurt/Heidelberg area for the weekend to celebrate his birthday. I've just checked the map, and found that Luxembourg is fairly close by. (OK, about an hour away). Very tempting to visit instead that very picturesque principality. But I truly think my DH would freak if I suggested it, don't you?

(Yura) Since I am single, I've gone all out in my obsession for "The Darcy Dude" but the unlucky guy I may one day snag will have to understand, infact that's crucial. This goes without saying. (Janet) My DH and I are off tomorrow to the Frankfurt/Heidelberg area for the weekend to celebrate his birthday. Have a wonderful time and weather permitting wouldn't a lovely long drive through the beautiful countryside be appropriate? How could DH protest such a serene activity.

But I truly think my DH would freak if I suggested it, don't you?

Okaaayyy..let me try that again...:-P But I truly think my DH would freak if I suggested it, don't you? Janet, you could always try to bribe your DH with something sweet. Isn't Luxembourg famous for their chocolates? You could say, Oh, honey, let's buy some chocolate covered truffles to remind us of our trip.....and oh, by the way, there's this movie being filmed over here, do let's stop and check it out!

(AdaVW) You could say, Oh, honey, let's buy some chocolate covered truffles to remind us of our trip.....and oh, by the way, there's this movie being filmed over here, do let's stop and check it out! That's my plan if DH and I got to England this summer - the "Oh, by the way, there's this movie....." approach. It's a variant on the "Wow, what an amazing coincidence!" approach I used when, after nagging DH until he agreed to go see HP the weekend it opened, there just happened to be a trailer playing for a CF movie. But isn't GWAPE finished filming by now?

It's okay Rika, you can say 'Oh by the way there's this little movie called EOR filming here right now..' this summer when in London (fingers crossed!!). Believe me, I am planning on spending most of the summer staking out the city, I'll let you know if I have any luck finding the set (and am assuming that some will be the same like Bridget's apartment).

Rika, you might keep an eye on this website...or email them This is a v. resourceful group. I have not doubt you'll make it. But let's plan how to inveigle DH to go there....failing is not an option here;-)) http://www.london-film.co.uk/

Rika: Check your hotmail now if you're on

Mighty quiet in here...hmmmm... (checking under the sofa).

(Jeanie) Mighty quiet in here...hmmmm... (checking under the sofa). I was thinking the same thing...everyone was on fire yesterday with the planned heist of the P&P clothes, but I think our time has run out on Darcy Drool...I keep checking over here to get my fix...I will be leaving for a few days and will be ODB Free. This may not be a good thing. He's like my coffee. Gotta have a 'shot' or I'm just not right. Think many may be watching the telly right now...:-( Sad news...

I slept late today and had no idea what you were talking about, Tress.. oh, how tragic.. Of course, I guess almost all of us had the same response that I did. ."Dear God, not again!" (sad sigh) I'll send you something to cheer you up and take care of your Darcy Drool fix, how's that? (smiling) It's rather risque, so if you want me to send it to you either email me, or leave me a message at Darcy Drool.

(Jeanie) I'll send you something to cheer you up and take care of your Darcy Drool fix, how's that? (smiling) It's rather risque... Oh, now...I don't think I like risque. Goes against my very nature. ;-) *clearing throat* I, uh, sent you an e-mail....

(Tress)Oh, now...I don't think I like risque. Goes against my very nature. ;-) Uhm, maybe we are a few others, who also need cheering up. The evenings are mighty cold.......

Ok, I originally attempted to post this to "Darcy Drool" but it wouldn't let me. "I am truly honoured by all the attention you fine ladies give me, but would you please consider returning my clothing? Pemberley is drafty this time of year, and I'm sure to die of a consumption unless I find warmth!"

(laughing) Please, Linda, Dorine, Rika, or Terry please forward to Annette "the package".. (dying of laughter) I deleted mine because of prying eyes..

(laughing to)Jeanie, you are the best!! I was just on my way to bed (it is almost midnight), so "the package" arrived just in time. Good Night everyone, and sweet dreams!!!!!!!!!!!!

(Jeanie....oops...I mean Mr. Darcy) " ...Pemberley is drafty this time of year, and I'm sure to die of a consumption unless I find warmth!" I'll give ya something to keep ya warm! (Jeanie) (dying of laughter) I deleted mine because of prying eyes.. ROTFL.....the DH was just asking what I was looking at....I was shutting things down left and right...."huh? what do you mean? I wasn't looking at anything!" I didn't delete though! Funny I can read fanfic all night w/o a word, but once I get visuals.....it's all over. LOL...Annette! I hope thoughts of "the package" don't keep you up!

All right now, if you're going to talk about it, you're going to have to share! pretty please?

Me too please! With a cherry on top

Perhaps it would've been better if you all would have emailed each other, rather than leave messages here.

sorry, that was MY fault, boss.. won't happen again, or, at least, I'll attempt to make sure it doesn't happen again.. =(

responding to some of the Conspiracytalk from Ods and ends: I think Karen is right about his approach to the "problem with the jews". One thing, I took notice of, was the way he tried to differ between species and race. In my ears, that places him right in the middle of them all. He too wantet to get rid of the jews. He said to acknowledge them as part of our species but prevent them from being part of our race (quote). He wantet it done with this in mind, and BY THE LAW. I will say, that I think the movie is scaring, but very well actet. I also noticed, that when CF was acting furious, he had a vein beating very clearly in his forehead. How can anyone control their face like that? Amazing!

Wow, I missed a lot while I was gone this weekend! Thanks for the encouragement on my possible London trip and TEOR stake-out. I've bookmarked the site Evelyn told me about - thanks!!!!

This is the babbling-topic, right? I have noticed, that ODB sings in many of his movies. Here are the ones, I know of: Tumbledown (army-like: have you heard, what I've been told, or something like that) Hostages (Jinglebells) SIL (some odd morning-like song, sunday morning) Donovan Quick (We shall not, we shall not be moved) TIOBE (Lady come down) WAGW (Staying alive, perhaps - surely looks like something like that;-)) Have I forgotten any? How would you rank them?

Rika, if you are still here - please check out the news on the release of The Advocate on dvd. I see so many possibilities for the DVDiva (and those of us fortunate to see how you work wonders).

(Annette)I also noticed, that when CF was acting furious, he had a vein beating very clearly in his forehead. I've noticed it in the last scene of WOF as well.

Sometimes I really HATE technology--- I got AZ from Netflix, was *really* psyched about (finally!) getting to watch it, put it in the DVD player last night, and after about 30 seconds of thinking, the player spits it back out with a "disc error" message!!!! I tried two more times, and IT WOULDN'T PLAY!!! It also didn't like RV (rental), and while it used to play FP (own it), it won't anymore! GRRRRRRRRRR!!!! I would say that the dh has hexed the DVD player to not play CF's films, but P&P, BJD, Conspiracy and TIOBE all work just fine. I have a couple of other DVD's it won't play as well. Anyone know what gives???

I got the AZ DVD from Barnes & Noble last week. I've played it through several times and it works fine.

On DVD's: I assume you've cleaned it. Whenever I've had problems like this it's because the disk has something on it (like a big ol' thumbprint). AZ on DVD..... yes, most interesting possibilities. Though I think they'd be of the variety that would have to be distributed via e-mail..... Speaking of which, I've owed everybody a Matthew Field montage for a while now. Sorry - real life has been interfering with the important stuff, and in addition there have been technical problems with my web space and I've been waiting for resolution. But I assure you that I have an AFG collection of captures from SLOW.... and one of these days I'll get some of 'em up on display.

(Rika) I assume you've cleaned it. Whenever I've had problems like this it's because the disk has something on it Yeah, it's clean; I put the cleaning disk in the DVD & cleaned the laser too, all to no avail. **Sigh** It's a fairly early model player, and we've been having more and more trouble with it the older it gets. Hubby's pushing for an X-Box... (Rika) Though I think they'd be of the variety that would have to be distributed via e-mail..... How *intriguing* :) put me on your distribution list, if you decide to do it that way...

(Rika) Though I think they'd be of the variety that would have to be distributed via e-mail..... (moonstar)How *intriguing* :) put me on your distribution list, if you decide to do it that way.. Me too!!!!!!!!!!! (and remember SIL?)

There's a new Darcy Drool topic (173) set up, since 112 is all filled up.

Not long ago we were talking about how our DH's talked about CF. Well, I just got a phone call from DH that I simply had to share. He's on a business trip, and just called to let me know it had been cut short and he was on his way home. I need to explain that I teach on Wednesday nights so I get home pretty late. Anyway, he said, "Just wanted to let you know that when you get home tonight there may be a man in your bed, and unfortunately it won't be Colin Firth." Thank goodness he has a good sense of humor about it! I'm still laughing.....

LOL Rika, congratulations, he sounds wonderful! (so much for keeping ODB a secret!)

Anyway, he said, "Just wanted to let you know that when you get home tonight there may be a man in your bed, and unfortunately it won't be Colin Firth." Too funny, Rika.YDH has good sense of humor; keep him. I hope someday he'll get to meet Colin. There are great stories of the men(DH, boyfriends, fiancees,partners) who accompanied their gals to 3 DOR , hung around the Donmar lobby.Some of the remarks to Colin were priceless.

(Rika) Anyway, he said, "Just wanted to let you know that when you get home tonight there may be a man in your bed, and unfortunately it won't be Colin Firth." LOL! Oh, Rika, that's just too funny. How on earth did you respond to *that*?! (Evelyn) Some of the remarks to Colin were priceless Are there any you could repeat? Am v. curious :)

LOL, Rika! You have him well trained. ;-)

(Evelyn) Some of the remarks to Colin were priceless I remember some reference to this way way back and would Love to hear them again too...hint hint.

Really,they don't translate too well in print. Also, some were told in private and I don't feel comfortable putting them on a public board. Perhaps you can find some of them in the Donmar reports.

What a great husband you have Rika. He seems to be very understanding. Which leads me to believe he might have someone he particularly likes. Do you know who she is?

(moonstar)How on earth did you respond to *that*?! I was so shocked I just laughed and turned about 15 shades of red (which he couldn't see since we were on the phone). (Evelyn) I hope someday he'll get to meet Colin. One thing at a time - first I would like to meet him! But, yeah, I can actually imagine DH going with me on a trip like that. As to his own "interests", he's got a bit of a thing for Catherine Zeta-Jones (we haven't been to "Chicago" yet, but the first time we have a weekend night free, I'll have no trouble getting him to see it). But he's not collecting her movies and discussing her online (at least, not as far as I know ;-).

Rika, your DH sounds like a honey, you'll have to tell him we were all drooling over him...if of course you want him to know he was a topic of conversation. (Rika) he's got a bit of a thing for Catherine Zeta-Jones Don't they all? Mine just learned he has a thing for Brit-whatever-ny Spears. If you wonder why, check her out on the last page of this week's People mag. Guess he has that in common with ODB.

"Just wanted to let you know that when you get home tonight there may be a man in your bed, and unfortunately it won't be Colin Firth." Good thing that was you and not me. I might have blurted out "unfortunately" OK just kidding. I think;-)

(Barb) Rika, your DH sounds like a honey, you'll have to tell him we were all drooling over him...if of course you want him to know he was a topic of conversation. I haven't decided yet if he'd want to know that or not. He is an incredibly tolerant fellow. But he doesn't know too much about Drool - just that I sometimes visit this place where CF fans hang out. How much do the rest of our DH's or SO's know about Drool?

Drool is top secret.

(Moon Dreams) Drool is top secret Agreed..I have to ALWAYS remember to clean out the browser and erase all history before signing out...especially when I have been Drooling whilst drinking wine(v.v often)so I don't have to wake up in a panic with a 50 pound wine head, and race to the computer at midnight to try and log in and clean it out and quickly sign off and put it away and jump on the couch and turn on tv and pretend to be only slightly awake just as DH walks in..(obviously NOT a hypothetical situation..);-)

My DH knows about Drool, but not by name. (Didn't want to open myself up to drool slobber jokes...)Just that I check out this CF place everyday. A few times. He's amazingly tolerant. Even helps me tape shows, and is willing to go to NY with me for openings etc., although that is probably just because he likes NY... He's not at all the jealous type, and I'm sure feels this is quite harmless. I do make sure to tell him that CF is only the second sexiest man I've ever seen... My eldest son (13)is not as tolerant. I keep telling him it's just a pretend boyfriend and that I'm kidding, and that Daddy has three girls that he likes, but I think with all his friend's parents being divorced, it kind of makes him uneasy. I've stopped joking about it in front of him. I think I'd rather not see CF in the company of my husband though. If I do turn to a silly puddle of blabbering mush I'd rather my DH wasn't witness. So undignified. Haven't been this silly since I was 15! So if anyone in the PA area wants company on a trip to NY to drool this spring, feel free to contact me...

(Moon Dreams)Drool is top secret. Indeed it is!!

(Maria) ...clean out the browser and erase all history before signing out....(obviously NOT a hypothetical situation..);-) LOL Maria. I am much luckier. My DH is such a Luddite, he would not begin to know how to access history. However...sigh...as disguise of every sort is his abhorrence and he caught me a few times too many clicking over to other screens as he came in, I'm outed. I guess he thinks a sneaky wife is worse than one who is in all other things (mostly) sensible and he actually finds it amusing. He's got a way with the quotes and he still says he's going to buy some boots. At Christmas he pressed for access to one of you to find out how he might find CF items....if anyone knows how to get a life-size stand-up posterboard cutout, you might email me...he's in the market!

(Meg) I think I'd rather not see CF in the company of my husband though. If I do turn to a silly puddle of blabbering mush I'd rather my DH wasn't witness. That's my fear as well. And I'd never hear the end of it. I used to do the same stuff as Maria - cleaning out history and such - but I have my own laptop now and I do almost all of my drooling from there.

(BarbS) if anyone knows how to get a life-size stand-up posterboard cutout, you might email me...he's in the market! LOL! I would think you'd know by now if anyone here knew how to procure such an item; how could anyone possibly keep such a thing a secret?! And if anyone out there is holding out, well, shame shame on you!!

Sorry to take you away from your discussion of husbands but.... One of our lurkers would like to share the wealth and has generously donated her VHS tape of Apartment Zero (NTSC) and the book "Speaking with the Angel" to any Drool Darling who would like them. One per customer. First come, first serve. email me at my "office" (nomdedrool@yahoo.com)

(Meg) Haven't been this silly since I was 15! Me too, not since the Beatles were on every inch of my bedroom walls and ceiling. Feels good doesn't it.

(Meg) Haven't been this silly since I was 15! Nor, I. I got bold and now have CF wallpaper, and I told you all about the TIOBE and BJD movie posters, that I had framed for my daughter's bithday. She loves them in her room...so do I. Of course I had a few other movie posters done as well so it didn't look too obvious;-)

(Annette ) From BJD topic, Number 9 is still my favorite. (The BJD snow kissing scene as a romantic moment in film). Okay, To get ready for Valentine's day, what are your ten favorite romantic CF moments? Is it possible to narrow it down? I could probably fill 10 spots with P&P so will use others first. Joe Prince in the frozen food section, "You have to marry me".

(Kathleen)what are your ten favorite romantic CF moments? Just off the mark, and please don't think I've totally lost it (more than always, that is), but here they are: FP, D. H. Lawrence, If he would look at me like that, he didn't have to vary the answers at all. and - The Bollock Brothers scene, being a bit - not the right mood. He could play me any music he liked, if I could crawl into those arms......... Off to fetch a bucket, very much needed...............

Favorite P&P Moment: Lambton Inn(both times) Blue Soup smile in BJD.

Here are mine: The Look in P&P. At the dinner table in BJD, after the "just as she is" toast, when Mark gazes at Bridget, wine glass in hand. Near the end of BJD, upstairs in her flat, when Mark leans in for a kiss. If there's any interest, I can probably provide an illustrated version of the list (most of it, anyway), once we have it all assembled.

(Rika) If there's any interest, I can probably provide an illustrated version of the list (most of it, anyway), once we have it all assembled. I, for one, have absolutetly NO interest in seeing illustrations of ODB's most romantic moments.......... ARGGHHH!!! Hurry!! Hurry!! Compile list quickly so Rika can go to it!!

(Maria) Compile list quickly so Rika can go to it!! I second the emotion! Will add a few, did not want to be piggy. Kitchen kiss - Fever Pitch Kiss with Marianne in labyrinthe Vertical mambo kiss with Lisa Zane - Femme Fatale Here Charles? kiss in mine - Nostomo Thou art...my sister my wife- Advocate Need to do some research on Lost Empires. Were so many. Need to do some research in general. Bye. Thanks Rika. Always look forward to your special talents.

Here are mine BJD leaning in to kiss her in the doorway of her flat, grey turtleneck BJD kissing final scene BJD Entire kitchen scene until Daniel arrives P&P Handing Elizabeth into the carriage at Pemberley FP Kissing (with shoulder action) Sarah the first time And just about every other scene mentioned in the other posts. Rika, looking forward to a visual list. YUM

(Kathleen)Thou art...my sister my wife- Advocate I didn't know, how to post this mumbling part, but it most definetly belongs on the list (along with just about every other scene..... as postet by Linda) I don't think anything from TIOBE has been mentioned. Well, one of the first scenes with FOC he says something like she is the most beautiful women he has ever met, since he met her (or whatever), also very romantic....

sorry - should off course be "woman", and I forgot to beg Rika for the visual list: would you please, please, please, please just get it done (please don't take me seriously - ever, just tried to express how much I look forward to seing it!)

Favourite moment from FP: when they're viewing the flat and he puts his arms around her. I melt every time I watch this!

(Kathleen) (Kathleen)what are your ten favorite romantic CF moments? I have just a few off the top of my head, including a few repeats..... "Say my name" scene in SLOW BJD doorway lean-in FF grocery store proposal Ditto Evelyn and Linda's BJD Blue Soup/kitchen scene P&P's verbal fights at Netherfield and Rosings Park (at least they are strangely romantic to me)

Short list... The Look The reminiscing in the music room over The Look Running down steps and across courtyard at Pemberley to catch up... (plus he looks AFG!)...all the way through the best legs in the biz walking with her (OMG, the steps....did I say he looked AFG?) Waiting for Lizzy in the inn with Georgianna. Hand into the carriage as she leaves Pemberley. Is there nothing I can bring for your present relief? (the hands!) BJD Dinner table BJD doorway attempts to latch on BJD final kiss *and the coat* More research needed...back into the trenches I go.

LE sleeping scene with Julie arms entwined. Descending stairs LE they have their arms around each other. Many more in LE as they have such great chemistry. Was very believable to me. When Darcy looks out of window at Lizzy after bath. When Darcy meets Lizzy in garden at Pemberley. Lean in doorway attempted kiss BJD Reminiscence scene at Pemberly in music room. First proposal argument. The look. Blue Soup grin and dimples. Look on Jack's face when Gwendolyn tells him she plans to grow in all areas.

The apology scene to MEM near the end of MLSF Paul and Sarah in bed at the end of their "Seasons" discussion, when he looks over at her and smiles smugly! Paul and Sarah approach one another for a final kiss during the Victory Celebration. The moment when Darcy and Elizabeth's hands first touch in the Dance at Netherfield. Also stairs scene at Pemberley. Valmont dancing with the 4 women, each in turn. Kissing Bianca in the maze in WOF Second the freezer dance and snog in FF. That last non-touching contact in the belfry between Birkin and Mrs. Keach. His gratitude for the apples showed he had already mastered "The Look" even at that age.

(Rika) I can provide an illustrated version. Oops, looks like there is about 10 times 10 here. Any suggestions on how to narrow it down Rika? Could make a case for any of these which I could take to the highest court in the land. We'd just need more women on the Supreme Court. Or would you like to surprise us? Thanks. KJArt The last non-touching contact in the belfrey between Birkin and Mrs. Keach. KJArt, I'm with you. This film is perfection isn't it? Similar to P&P, can feel the intensity, when she wakes him up in the graveyard and she leaves the loft and he falls on his bed! But nothing is happening that can be seen. Bless my active little brain.

One thing that will limit it somewhat is that I can't do captures from every film of his. Here are the ones I CAN get captures from: BJD, TIOBE, FP, LE, P&P, SLOW, MLSF, and DQ, along with three that are rather unlikely to make our list - COF, RV, and Conspiracy. So at the moment that leaves out the stuff mentioned from FF, AMITC, Nostromo, and HOTP/TA. We might be able to find relevant captures from some of them, or perhaps somebody out there who can get captures from VHS tapes can help me. Nobody's mentioned DQ. Even though he's a mess of bruises, I think their snog on the bed the night before he's taken away is very romantic. And his courtly appreciation for the mac & cheese always melts me too. (And, yes, DQ is on the list of possibilities for illustration.) It would be fun to have a vote on what the top ten should be, if we could come up with an easy way to tabulate the results....

BJD BJ: You're not going to America then? MD: So it would seem.

Barb picked my fav: Is there nothing I can bring for your present relief? (the hands!) Gah! the hands! *fanning face* 2nd fav: the leaning in for a nuzzle in the door way, before Bridget dashes off for genuinely tiny nickers

Voting Tabulation for Valentine's Day Favorite Romantic Scenes (For films Rika can capture) BJD - lean in at doorway 6 BJD - blue soup dimples 4 P&P - the look 3 P&P - 1st Propsal argument 3 BJD - final kiss 2 BJD - just as she is 2 FP - shoulder 2 FP - season discussion in bed 2 P&P - hand to carriage 2 P&P - waiting for Lizzy at Lambton 2 P&P - hand raking 2 Lean in is the runaway favorite! Honorable mentions FP - not the right mood 1 FP - DH Lawrence 1 FP - hug looking for flat 1 FP - end kiss 1 BJD - just as you are toast 1 BJD - so it would seem 1 MSLF - so sorry at end 1 LE - sleeping w/Julie 1 LE -going down steps with Julie 1 SLOW - say my name 1 TIOBE - ever since I met you 1 TIOBE - intend to develop 1 P&P - after bath Lizzy look 1 P&P - after pond meeting 1 P&P - running to catch up at Pemberly 1 P&P - 1st touch at Netherfield 1 If someone has a way to capture FF, Valmont, WOF, AMITC, Advocate, Nostromo I have those results too. FF - Freezer kiss 3 FF - vertical mambo kiss 2 WOF - maze kiss 2 Advocate - my sister my wife 2 AMITC - birkin and keach in belfry 2 Valmont dance - 1 Nostromo - Here Charles 1 Any suggestions Rika or anyone? The day quickly approaches.Difficult to concentrate however with new postings elsewhere today.

Good job, Kathleen! You're right about difficulty concentrating today due to other distractions. Whoa, mama..... I'll go to work on the top group. That should keep me busy for a while, at least when I can tear my eyes away from two photos I'm keeping plastered on my desktop.

I know I am very late to add but love the charming bit when MD and BJ are whisking eggs and mimicking Pam and Una...He is finally loosening up...Also first dimple sighting in P&P when he visits her alone around the time of "I call it a very easy distance.."

Wait there were dimples before that! I have mental blockage here, but isn't the phrase "On foot?" in the Netherfield Gardens? Then a smirk with dimples then a stroll behind her with coattails billowing. :) Sounds funny......

(Lisa) Wait there were dimples before that! You are so right Lisa...Maybe it is just that every time he flashes those dimples, it feels like the first time!!!

Ah, the list grows larger.....

(MariaT)Also first dimple sighting in P&P when he visits her alone around the time of "I call it a very easy distance.." Yes! My vote for the 50 miles of good road scene too. Love the way he looks at her, and the way he tilts his head as he takes his leave too. (Rika)Ah, the list grows larger..... Well, there are simply too many melting moments to choose from :-) . Looking forward to another lovely piece from you, dear DVDiva. Thank you so much!

DVDiva...after those pictures from yesterday you have your work cut out for you. At this point I'm in such a state of drool...I'll take anything.

Great job Kathleen. Agree Rika Whoa Mama on those great pics. He just keeps getting better and better.

(andie)Yes! My vote for the 50 miles of good road scene too. Love the way he looks at her, and the way he tilts his head as he takes his leave too. yeah, when he tilts his head and looks down at her chest before he goes out the door.. (laughing)... That's another time when Sam, my minion, takes on his Colin voice and states the word "boobies". (snickering)

(Rika)Ah, the list grows larger..... You can choose whichever moments you like. They all make me melt... Karen, thank you so much for the valentine-picture. Lovely as allways.

Sorry, forgot to post that the rose is my valentine-greeting to all of you wonderful fellow-droolers.

Thank you for the rose, Annette, and thank you, Karen for a very yummy trio of pics on the main Drool page. You've both made my rainy V-Day a little brighter :)

Thank you, Annette and Karen. Anyone celebrating today in Colin mode? Before DH gets home...I'm doing FP. After DH falls asleep...BJD. Think I'll have a glass of white wine and some chocolates, as well. SIGH

Speaking of celebrating in Colin mode..... Here's Part 1 of our illustrated Most Romantic Moments in CF Movies. I'm posting a link instead of the actual pictures because I've got the formatting "just so" and I don't feel like fighting with the conference software here to make it work. I hope you enjoy - there's more to come. http://www.spring.net/~rika/valentine/part1.html

Rika, loved the oops! Great job, great moments. Please put a link to that page for the next. I've bookmarked it.

Lovely, Rika! I have a soft spot for Matthew, too. However, CF is welcome in any incarnation. In fact, I didn't even vote since I couldn't seem to narrow my choices down (I let others choose for me). Can't wait to see part 2!

Rika, my all-time favourite producer. Thank you so much for part 1, especially loved the Matthew-gaze look. I can understand, he pointet that one out

Rika....I'm not caught up with reading past posts, but I must have my say in the matter...and what I have to say is....THANK YOU!! Perfect! A wonderful Valentine's Day treat and since I have no idea what everyone chose as their Most Romantic Moments, it is truly a surprise to me (and I'm enjoying every second of it)!!!

Rika, you are a genius and our once and future DVDiva! And you know, I'm sure you've got no time at all invested in this ;-) How good you are to us! Thanks!

Wow Rika! Didn't want to pressure you. (But was getting ready to). Yummy Matthew. Have not looked at an Ever Ready battery quite the same ever since. Could find 10 moments in SLOW too. Hair tousled, clothing nicely rumpled...but I digress. Love Sure-fire Hints for winning a women's heart. Who is that having the lie-down? Just wonderful Rika! Have long weekend ahead w/blizzard impending. Who cares?! Bring it on.

Rika!! Man oh Man!! We bow to your superior judgement..Of course Matthew Field should have been included!! Thank you so much for this Valentine present, it is the perfect feast for my eyes to accompaniment the wine I am presently enjoying..You are the best!!

Happy Valentine's everyone.........wow.....Rika....I'm Speechless.....hyperventilating...

Part 2 of the Most Romantic moments is posted. http://www.spring.net/~rika/valentine/part2.html As Moon suggested, as I add new pages I'm linking them to the old ones. So you can also enter at the first page and just work your way through. And some good news.... this project finally got me off my butt, and I bought the Snappy I'd been thinking of buying for ages. It arrived this afternoon (how's that for cosmic timing?) This means I can capture from VHS tapes. You'll see some of my first attempts at using it in Part 3 when it's ready.

Am I not adorable...? LOLing my head off! And you got THE HANDS!!! I thought you could not get the HANDS!? And now a Snappy? How shall I bear so much happiness? And him standing as Lizzy rolls away from Pemberley...mercy!
