Old messages are now in the AustenArchive conference. Here are the last 10 messages: Topic 2 of 42 [drool]: Jeremy Northam Response 241 of 251: Kali Pappas (Kali) * Sat, Mar 8, 1997 (04:49) * 5 lines Yes, I go to Berkeley. Richmond? Ooch. Sorry. Oh, and you should know that even non-athletic-booster-types are into rivalries. And since you are a SUCKLA student, I'm obligated to tell you to "get your own fight song (proper key, please), get your own colors, and get your own bear!!!" --- Winter, we could use this kind of depth in our Austen adaptation review topics. Why is it always sex that excites? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Topic 2 of 42 [drool]: Jeremy Northam Response 242 of 251: winter (winter) * Sat, Mar 8, 1997 (11:07) * 4 lines because sex is so primal... so natural, and such an immediately gratifying stimulus in such an impersonal, fast-paced, "everyone for themselves world.' which probably leads me to MY contribution to that "why have such a crush on jeremy northam" thread: i think i find him appealing because he immediately gives you the impression that if he cared for you, he'd care in such a way that you know he'd be hones t and sincere about it. Even in the net, when he walks down the beach with angela, and wraps the hanky 'round her waist, you see that look in his eyes that just say, " i'm not supposed to care for you, but i hopelessly and helplessly am." now i'm trying o be cautious with this next statement, and please, remember this is IMHO, but: I don't get that impression from Colin Firth at all. It may have to do with that string of women he has met over the years on various sets. As for JN, well, after going out wi th someone for nine years, that's some real commitment going on. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Topic 2 of 42 [drool]: Jeremy Northam Response 243 of 251: Cassandra (cassandra) * Sat, Mar 8, 1997 (12:06) * 4 lines "primal and natural-immediately gratifying": you have a keen/perceptive insight-Winter. An appropriate and thought-provoking list of adjectives. reg the scarf around the waist touch in the Net: JN looked, at least to me, as if he were going to strangle Angela. But, maybe that's the Rebecca/Xenia in me-Kali! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Topic 2 of 42 [drool]: Jeremy Northam Response 244 of 251: Amy (Amy) * Sat, Mar 8, 1997 (13:49) * 2 lines Winter, I guess you got in without my having to wipe out a second layer of your login names? Tell how you did it? Do you suspect it was your browser saving old passwords? ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Topic 2 of 42 [drool]: Jeremy Northam Response 245 of 251: winter (winter) * Sat, Mar 8, 1997 (14:59) * 3 lines well, i logged in the same way i always have. and as usual, i've had to get into "forgotten" to access the CF and JN drools. i've had to download ALL the messages from both JN and CF, which means having to sit for a few minutes till i get to the latest. h ow can i access just the newest messages for these guys? the "acitivty since this week" and the "new' options in forgotten won't let me o that. downloading JN messages aren't so bad riht now, it takes about 2 minutes, but the CF ones are driving me crazy! in other words, I still need help! ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Topic 2 of 42 [drool]: Jeremy Northam Response 246 of 251: Susan (Becker) * Sat, Mar 8, 1997 (15:02) * 1 lines Amy, I am still having to sign in again under a different name to get CF and JN myself. I can't even use Forgotten. If you figure out a way to help Winter that might work for me, I'd be eternally grateful. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Topic 2 of 42 [drool]: Jeremy Northam Response 247 of 251: kathleen (elder) * Sat, Mar 8, 1997 (17:42) * 5 lines I don't know if this will work for you, but I had this same problem with some other topic last week. I was able to access the topic using the Fogotten option, then I reset the "Remember" button at the top of the topic. In order to "save" it with the other topics, I changed the "forgotten" in the URL location line (under the back, home, reload, etc. buttons on my screen) to "all" and got back to the all location with the topic back in place. Hope this might help. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Topic 2 of 42 [drool]: Jeremy Northam Response 248 of 251: winter (winter) * Sat, Mar 8, 1997 (19:21) * 3 lines it worked!!! it really worked!!! thanks kathleen! after a minute of figuring out exactly which buttons were located where, i managed to get CF and JN back in the original list again. i'm just crossing my fingers and hoping that it will stick for good. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Topic 2 of 42 [drool]: Jeremy Northam Response 249 of 251: kathleen (elder) * Sat, Mar 8, 1997 (21:50) * 3 lines winter: t worked!!! it really worked!!! Hooray! I couldn't believe I had actually figured something out, so I'm glad to be of service. :-) (I just re-read my explanation, and I have no idea how you figured out what I meant . . . clarity needs improvement!) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Topic 2 of 42 [drool]: Jeremy Northam Response 250 of 251: Kali Pappas (Kali) * Sun, Mar 9, 1997 (22:44) * 1 lines I love this...what other medium could offer you technical indifference and unbridled lust all in the same thread? ;) ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Topic 2 of 42 [drool]: Jeremy Northam Response 251 of 251: Serena (Serena) * Mon, Mar 10, 1997 (00:46) * 3 lines Winter, your narration just sold Fatal Inversion to me. Now I cannot get this off my mind. Oooh.. and I cringe at the thought of JN as my personal ob-gyne. The heart beat quickens and the mind thinks up excuses for visits. But in reality, I'll probably bail-out in the consultation room.

~Kali Mon, Mar 10, 1997 (14:06) #1

Relegated to the bottom of the pile...so much is our lot in life! Second-class droolers sacrificed to the larger numbers of that Firth Guy's following. It shall not be borne! Let's see if we can catch up...I know it's the whole ant-and-rubbertree-plant syndrome, but we can dream...part of the joy is in the toil! Oh, and in the pictures, too! ;)

ARRRGGGGH!

~cassandra Mon, Mar 10, 1997 (14:17) #4

Yes-Dearest-bring on the pics!!! The bottom of the pile! The HORROR! The HORROR!!

~cassandra Mon, Mar 10, 1997 (14:24) #5

Believe me this is JN related: One of my profs asked me to read an obscure Louisa Mae Alcott book, LOng Fatal Love Chase, and review it. Little Women-this book is not!! It's, bizarre twisted! It centres on this beautiful, frustrated EW type heroine named Rosamond who is bored, bored, b ored; she loves storms. By page 3, enter Philip Tempest, an older, suave, seductive, rich enigma-a former pupil of her grandfather. Well, the obvious happens and Philip is more Jack Devlin, than Prince charming. Ans so the chase begins. It's really weird, but I admit I thought of Jeremy as Philip. WEll, Shall we contact his agent? I can't believe the MAN has never been more unemployed as an actor. SHOCKING!

~winter Mon, Mar 10, 1997 (14:43) #6

unless the "star wars" rumors are true... then he could be employed over the course of three back-to-back guaranteed blockbusters and make millions over the profits (even more millions if he sells his likeness to toy manufactureres) think of it ladies, Jeremy Northam action figures!

~cassandra Mon, Mar 10, 1997 (16:10) #7

Happy thoughts indeed! This board is starting to scream of money, MONEY!!! Let's get back to sex.

~Kaffeine Mon, Mar 10, 1997 (17:05) #8

Jeremy Northam action figures! Let's get back to sex Would these be anatomically correct action figures? And what kind of action are we talking about? ;)

~Kaffeine Mon, Mar 10, 1997 (17:08) #9

I had a really weird dream last night. I don't usually dream about celebrities, but I had a dream about Jeremy last night. You would think that that would be a pretty good dream, but unfortunately, this one was rather unpleasant. I'm going to have to have a talk with my subconscious, and let it know that if its going to give me dreams about Jeremy they had darn well better be good ones!

~Carolyn Mon, Mar 10, 1997 (17:37) #10

]I'm going to have to have a talk with my subconscious, and let it know that if its going to give me dreams about Jeremy they had darn well better be good ones! Try reading Cassandra's Deja Vu before bedtime, that might help.

~winter Mon, Mar 10, 1997 (20:27) #11

hey all! if you haven't already read it, go to Kaffeine's site on JN and read Mrs. Penrose's forum post of her 'run-in" with a JN lookalike at the grocery store. If it's possible, it may have been JN himself. It's a HEEEELARIOUS story, and she did what I would've done EXACTLY!

~Kali Mon, Mar 10, 1997 (21:25) #12

Would these be anatomically correct action figures? And what kind of action are we talking about? ;) I love you, Kaf! --- Yeah, Cass...sounds like definite Northam material...Do you own a copy of the book? And if so, may I borrow it? ;) --- I went through a period of about two weeks or so last month in which I had a series of VERY pleasant Jeremy dreams. But then again, nice dreams don't always equal nice karma...and sometimes, disturbing dreams protend wonderful realities!

~cassandra Mon, Mar 10, 1997 (22:26) #13

Carolyn-I love you! I think Deja-vu started out as one of my dreams. And Kali-I borrowed the book from my professor. But, I liked it so much that I ordered my own. It should be here in a few weeks, and I would be happy to lend it to you. I couldn't put it down.

~Kali Tue, Mar 11, 1997 (04:25) #14

Okay, we'll do a switch...I lend you Billington, you lend me Alcott...;)

~cassandra Tue, Mar 11, 1997 (14:23) #15

Great!! I hope fame doesn't spoil Jeremy. I remember reading how he snuck onto the American President set during the filming of the NET. And how making one of those big Hollywood movies was such a happy surprise, a "mad kind of adventure". I'd like to have a mad kind of adventure with him! reg. Hollywood films..: "It was something I never really sought, but at the same time, it was like fulfilling a fantasy that I'd never imagined would come true." Isn't he the most articulate, adorable, endearing MAN?

~Kali Tue, Mar 11, 1997 (15:31) #16

I'll bet he's hooked on movies now...didn't he recently say something somewhere about never getting back to England? I remember a time when he expressed extreme displeasure at leaving his home country for California...does this constitute a change of hea rt, and if so, is it a change for the better?

~cassandra Tue, Mar 11, 1997 (20:40) #17

Good question. I too remember him saying how much he disliked LA-but he's certainly not alone there! But-that is where the work is. So, I don't know if that really consitutes a change of heart, maybe a change in priorites. He's pretty cagey about his ambi tions, although he definitely doesn't want to be another Hugh Grant. I think, though, that his heart will always be with the theatre. That's his training, where he is most comfortable. He seems to know who he is. But, I think he is hooked on movies. Its ard not to be-the celebrity, the easy money. A lot of actors manage to do both-theatre and movies-ET is a good example. She's even done a musical. How about Jeremy in a musical? I read somewhere that he has a good voice.

~winter Tue, Mar 11, 1997 (20:58) #18

jeremy's current acting status has been on my mind for a while too. i agree with the lure of hollywood and the huge movie "arms" industry, as he put it once. the cosmo interview mentioned that he has had such a busy schedule-- that he hasn't been able to get back to london, where his roots are. then it goes on to mention that once he does get back home, he was planning on selling that flat. my question is, "selling the flat in place of what?" is it possible that he'd actually move to the states to further his career? if so, i'd vote for NYC, where he still has the convenience of theatre, if he eer felt 'homesick' for acting onstage. because to tell you the truth, theatre in l.a. (and i live in l.a. BTW) is NOTHING compared to what's out there in new york or even chicago. but IMHO, i'd still like to keep our jeremy 'pure' and have him remain in england.

~Kali Tue, Mar 11, 1997 (22:18) #19

Yeah, purity of heart, mind and career...I'm not sure that New York is an improvement on LA...lots of precocious brats there, as well...LA may be flaky, but it's not spoiled rotten.

~cassandra Wed, Mar 12, 1997 (19:09) #20

He walks in beauty, like the night Of cloudless climes and starry skies; And all that's best of dark and bright Meet in his aspect and his eyes: Thus mellow'd to that tender light Which heaven to gaudy day denies One shade the more, one ray the less, Had half impair'd the nameless grace Which waves in every raven tress, Or softly lightens o'er his face; Where thoughts serenely sweet express How pure, how dear their dwelling-place. And on that cheek, and o'er that brow, So soft, so calm, yet eloquent, The smiles that win, the tints that glow, But tell of days in goodness spent, A mind at peace with all below, A heat whose love is innocent!

~cassandra Wed, Mar 12, 1997 (19:10) #21

That should have been HEART! Freudian slip.

I give up! At least-we are one message ahead.

~bernhard Wed, Mar 12, 1997 (19:42) #24

oh, Cass! gorgeous! (heat or heart)

~Yeago Thu, Mar 13, 1997 (15:59) #25

I can't remember where I saw it, but someone posted a pic of JN in a blue shirt. WOW HUBBA HUBBA Have been disappointed in some quotes attributed to CF, seems shallow (am I going to get beat up for this)? (I have bookmarked "The look") So thought I would take a took over here. Loved the pics at the EMMA2 topic - best line of the movie during the archery scene Mr Knightly pouts "I want to stay here where it is cozy" lovely little cottage in the background!:-)

~Amy Thu, Mar 13, 1997 (16:58) #26

Really, Anne? I don't know that Firth is shallow. I do suspect he is kind of a jerk. But! He made a great Darcy. That's enough.

~Kali Thu, Mar 13, 1997 (18:29) #27

I think you summed it up quite well, dearest Amy. --- Is this the picture of which you speak, Anne? I slaved over a hot scanner for all of five minutes to produce it...;) My mom was skeptical until she saw this particular shot...now she heartily approves of my obsession...

~bernhard Thu, Mar 13, 1997 (18:46) #28

oh, Kali, I was hoping you were on! OOH BABY OOH BABY OOH BABY

~bernhard Thu, Mar 13, 1997 (18:47) #29

I really appreciate the touch of "look, not a hairy beast" that this gives us, too!!!!!!!!!!!!

~bernhard Thu, Mar 13, 1997 (18:49) #30

guess we know that HE doesn't live in the Wookhouse!!! :)

~Kali Thu, Mar 13, 1997 (19:01) #31

ROTFLOL, Cindy! Wookhouse, indeed... Wanna hang out over at Pemberley for a bit?

~bernhard Thu, Mar 13, 1997 (21:17) #32

Kal, still around?

~Kali Thu, Mar 13, 1997 (22:08) #33

I'm back again, Cindy...we seem to be missing eachother today... --- Here's my favorite sonnet...(also the favorite of the film Marianne) Let me not to the marriage of true minds Admit impediments; love is not love Which alters when it alteration finds Or bends with the remover to remove. O, no, it is an ever-fixed mark That looks upon tempests [I do believe it is 'tempests'...] and is never shaken; It is the star to every wand'ring bark, Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken. Love's not Time's Fool, though rosy cheeks and lips Within his bending sickle's compass come; Love alters not with his brief hours and weeks, But bears it out to the edge of doom. If this be error, and upon me proved, I never writ, nor no man ever loved. --- I sent that to Cass, and she insisted that I post it! ;) Here's another I think is particualrly fitting for lame droolers like us... Farewell, thou art too dear for my possessing, And like enough thou know'st thy estimate. The charter of the worth gives thee releasing; My bonds in thee are all determinate. For how do I hold thee but by thy granting, And for what riches where is my deserving? The cause of this fair gift in me is wanting, And so is my patent back again is swerving. Thyself thou gav'st, thy own worth then not knowing, Or me, to whom thou gav'st, thy own worth then not knowing, So thy great gift, upon misprision growing, COmes home again, on better judgement making. Thus have I had thee as a dream doth flatter, In sleep a king, but waking no such matter.

~bernhard Thu, Mar 13, 1997 (22:09) #34

Hey, don't go yet!

~bernhard Thu, Mar 13, 1997 (22:12) #35

Love the 2nd one, too

~Susan Thu, Mar 13, 1997 (23:24) #36

Beautiful, Kali!

~Kali Fri, Mar 14, 1997 (00:30) #37

Glad you liked 'em! You guys still around and wanna chat?

~bernhard Fri, Mar 14, 1997 (00:39) #38

Kali, come....come....

~Kali Fri, Mar 14, 1997 (00:43) #39

Okay...

~cassandra Fri, Mar 14, 1997 (11:13) #40

Looks like I missed a great chat at Pemberley! I love you guys!! We all lust from the same heart. AND Welcome Home Cindy!!!!! Thank you dearest. Lovely, lovely. Its a pity we can't have Pat Doyle's lush music as background. Life should be like the movies; our most intense/emotional moments heightened by his lush romanticism. That is my favorite S&S scene. And I love the second s onnet too-"Thyself thy gav'st, thy own worth then not knowing.." Beautiful. While me never equal Mr Firth, we can and do possess QUALITY! Quality. And WIT AND FEELING!

~Yeago Fri, Mar 14, 1997 (13:18) #41

yes Kali that is the one! I was kinda afraid to turn on my computer today, after what I posted yesterday. I had never laid eyes on CF until P&P2, but he blew me away! Like Gable playing Rhett Butler, there is no other to play Darcy. There is a lot to l ike about Colin Firth! JN looks very kind and natural in the pic above, rather appealing, don't you think? Maybe thats why I wanted to find out more!

~Kali Fri, Mar 14, 1997 (14:02) #42

Feeling, yes! Wit, occasionally! (Lovely, lovely, indeed, Miss Bates!) --- Glad you liked it, Anne...

~cassandra Fri, Mar 14, 1997 (15:50) #43

Anne-Indeed, JN is the kindest and best of men! He is perfectly amiable.

~Kaffeine Fri, Mar 14, 1997 (19:54) #44

Well, I've decided that the time has come to redesign my Northam site. I would really appreciate it if you guys would take a look at what I've done so far, and tell me what you think. http://www.worldrch.com/northam/test.html

~Donna Sat, Mar 15, 1997 (00:04) #45

Very nice Kaff, Very Merry UnBirthday to you.

~cassandra Sat, Mar 15, 1997 (13:33) #46

Beautiful KAf!!! Great job!! I really like the proposal pic and the Emma quotation: "If I loved you less, I might be able to talk about it more." Sigh. I forgive Doug McGrath for leaving that one out. After all, this is the MAN who gave us: I rode through the rain and I would ride through a lot worse, if I could just here your voice telling me....MArry me, My wonderful, Darling(no one says Darling better than Jeremy!!!!!) friend." Anne-I loved that line too." I want to stay here where it's warm and cozy. I'd rather fetch that stick." I Loved it all!!!! Miramax is too cruel. It's probably only going to be in the video stores on the 15th.

~cassandra Sat, Mar 15, 1997 (13:37) #47

Kali-My mom heartily approves of my Jeremy obssession too. I took her along to see Emma and she sighed and swooned with the rest of us. She likes his eyes, calls him Monsieur KNightley. I like that.

~kate Sat, Mar 15, 1997 (16:46) #48

Kaff I tried your link and nothing was there :-(

~Kaffeine Sat, Mar 15, 1997 (16:55) #49

Kate - That's because I've already moved beyond the testing phase (am I quick, or what?!). I have redesigned the site, added an interview with Jeremy to my Press page, and updated the Photo page with the Cosmo and Details images. Please take take a look around, and let me know if anything is missing. I started by deleting all of the files, so that I wouldn't have junk that I don't need on the server. This means that I probably left out some that should belong there! http://www.worldrch.com/northam/index.html

~Kali Sat, Mar 15, 1997 (21:25) #50

Lovely, lovely, dearest sister Kaf...*sigh* indeed...truly the best of men...all that, a bag of chips, and Latin and Greek too...*swoon*!!!!

~Kali Sat, Mar 15, 1997 (21:26) #51

I was wondering when you were going to add my cosmo pic...the fruit of my scanning labors! ;)

~winter Sat, Mar 15, 1997 (22:09) #52

thanks so much for the "new look" kaff! i agree kali! the new article has given more reasons to swoon. any man willing to study latin and greek to the A levels MUST be the best of men. and...i can picture him moving a little closer to the interviewer to make a point. such is the mannerism of so meone honest, open, but seductively discreet. not only is he all that and a bag of chips, he's all that plus tax!

~cassandra Sat, Mar 15, 1997 (22:38) #53

KAff-I want to wallpaper my room with that article. Tha's the Jeremy Knightley we all love: devlish, playful, funny, intelligent, confident, self-deprecating, witty and sooooooooooooo CHARMING. I have a new reason for going to journalism school! My favorite line: he didn't "want to be one of those actors who went around London with a leather jacket and a fake tan."

~cassandra Sat, Mar 15, 1997 (23:00) #54

Another fav line- reg. the Net: "an abysmal smirch of big-budget buffonery.." The man has a way with a phrase. That woman who interviewed him is obviously in love with him. She'd fit right in here at Northamland! All of her descriptions-"conspiratorial whisper", multiple leaning forwards..... Was it just me or could you almost hear his VOICE as you read that interview? God, I am gone, far gone!!!!!!!

~winter Sun, Mar 16, 1997 (01:29) #55

cassandra, honey, if YOU'RE gone, I went and never came back!

~Kali Sun, Mar 16, 1997 (04:05) #56

Now, now...this isn't a competition! If it were, I'm sure we'd all be losers...well, aren't we anyway? ;)

~winter Sun, Mar 16, 1997 (10:42) #57

hee hee hee... i plead guilty :)

~Yeago Sun, Mar 16, 1997 (13:36) #58

Beautiful Kathleen

~winter Sun, Mar 16, 1997 (13:46) #59

just curious: since we happened to get a hold of a British Premiere article on JN (though not as recent), are there a whole lot of articles we State-sider fans have missed out on? i remember borrowing a bunch of british mags from a friend a couple of year s back, and observed how much more entertaining the mags were compared to "people" and "entertainment weekly" here. "sky" and i think, "arena" were pretty neat (there's an article re: fever pitch in this month's arena). still have yet to see a "hello" mag zine. is it any good? anything on dearest, loveliest, "Jeremy Knightley"? (off topic, but this reminds me of eddie murphy's joke on ron howard, observing that people would stop mr. howard and address him as "opie cunningham")

~kate Mon, Mar 17, 1997 (11:20) #60

I tried again Kaff - it's great.

~JohanneD Mon, Mar 17, 1997 (12:32) #61

What a beautiful sight/site Kaff, love the new look

~Kali Mon, Mar 17, 1997 (21:08) #62

Cute pun, Johanne...;) --- Cass and I were discussing last night that part of Jeremy's boyish charm lies in the fact that he reminds us of Frank Churchill. Every girl needs a bit of that kind of thing, even if she knows she doesn't want to spend the rest of her life in its presenc e...okay, now you can throw things at us...

~cassandra Mon, Mar 17, 1997 (23:37) #63

Throw things at us, if you dare!!!!! Look in his eyes-he's a little devil, and that knowing, disarming smirk. He's a charmer. But, there's obviously a lot of Mr Knightley too. Hence-the danger of this obsession! Interestingly, Jeremy was originally considered for "another aprt" in Emma; this was obviously Frank. Kali and I were also discussing how JN would have fared as Willoughby. Another suave seducer type. Greg Wise did a good job-he fit the bill physically. B Ut, whenever I watch S&S, I think of Jeremy and what he could have done with the part-especially if they had included the confession scene to Elinor. Any thoughts?

~Kali Tue, Mar 18, 1997 (00:22) #64

Oh my God! The confession scene...another Rhett-Melanie sort of hormone-and-dispair fest! I hate to admit it, but he'd probably make an endearing drunk...;{ The way we talk about the man, you'd think he was schitzophrenic! Maybe he is.

~cassandra Tue, Mar 18, 1997 (13:32) #65

"maybe he is..." Well, at least he's not boring!!! When Charles McArthur proposed to Helen Hayes, he told her that she might never be completely happy, but she would never be bored. This is also the same man who(upon offering her some peanuts) said "I wis h they were emeralds." You know-I am still Marianne enough to fall for a line like that!! And yes-very Rhett and Melanie!! That is one of my all-time fav GWTW scenes. Melanie is repulsed and moved at the same time. I kinda feel the same way about Willoughby. JN: DRunk and Wet too after another ride in the rain! "Marianne-looking like an angel! " He would have made a great Willoughby!

~bernhard Tue, Mar 18, 1997 (18:11) #66

Hi, all! Just got back this afternoon. Waiting in the mailbox: one A&E Emma tape, one Lions and Liquorice book, one A Fatal Inversion tape from Kathleen. Combine all this with Kaff's new site and a promise to Kali to read her Frank(ugh) and Jane fan fic. Hmmmm. Wonder what I'll be doing this evening! (Hint: Cassandra, I'll try to send you my FI review tomorrow. ;) )

Hiya Cindy...have a good time? Got your photos...may not be able to get to them for awhile...cute kitties/kiddies... Anyone else care for some peanuts?

~bernhard Tue, Mar 18, 1997 (19:01) #68

Kali, had a GREAT time! No broken bones - just an extreme sunburn! Whoda' thought that the UV rays would reflect off all that snow?! DUH ?peanuts?

~winter Tue, Mar 18, 1997 (19:08) #69

cindy, you'll LOVE Fatal Inversion, as the rest of us did. Like I said on my review, watch for the scene when he goes to the hospital-- i have never seen anyone look that good in a trenchcoat and suit. also, you WON'T miss the 'huntng scene". Make you wis h you were the prey! ;) are you posting your review, or making it exclusive to cassandra? i wanna see your take on it. plleeeeeeeeezzzz?

(this was inspired from cindy's post over at the CF drool:) she thought about CF when listening to Sting's "Englishman in New York". Well, personally, that song reminds me of dearest JN. i then thought about songs which sort of bring out my... umm...feelings for JN. i think the most 'inspirational' song for JN day dreaming is either "Have you ever really loved a woman" (bryan adams) OR sting's 'when we dance". how about you?

~Kali Wed, Mar 19, 1997 (11:02) #73

Oh my.

Cass, are you feeling a trifle hoarse after that? ;-)

~Kali Thu, Mar 20, 1997 (02:05) #76

Hey...cut and paste is CHEATING!

~Hollis Thu, Mar 20, 1997 (16:07) #77

You ladies are something else - I have had an enjoyable afternoon catching up on the JN drool. On another BB we discussed a Tickle-Me-Jeremy doll. I think I could make some big bucks if I could figure out a way to clone the gorgeous hunk. Would any of you buy one? :-)

~Kaffeine Thu, Mar 20, 1997 (17:08) #78

Okay - while I may not share the passion that others feel for Mr. Firth, I can certainly understand it. However, today I noticed a new topic that is an abomination. Mark Strong as Mr. Knightley - on a drool board?! Surely they jest!! Yes, yes, of cours e - that must be it. It is a poor attempt at humor...for nobody could possibly contest the superiority of Jeremy Knightley! To quote the REAL Mr. Knightley - "Badly Done!". (whew, I feel better now...) :)

~Kali Thu, Mar 20, 1997 (18:33) #79

I perfectly understand you, Kaf...Mark Strong, the man at whom everyone was laughing before the video came out. Oh well...I guess it's the whole functional feofdom thing...everyone feels that they have to create their own unique niches...to each her own. ..

~bernhard Thu, Mar 20, 1997 (18:35) #80

Kaff, ever since dear, dear Kali scanned in that wonderful Cosmo pic, I have had to reexamine all my former notions of how I appreciate goodlooking men. While I really do like the physical impression MS gives as Knightley, I'm pretty sure that's where it ends for me. My feelings for CF extend somewhat past the role, but are mostly Darcy-centric. However, this Jeremy creature gets my motor running, regardless of his dress, or lack thereof. I am willing to call my fascination for him "True Drool". ;-) Please don't hold my appreciation of the color Brown against me! I would never give up my citizenship in Northamland.

~Kali Thu, Mar 20, 1997 (18:36) #81

Ack! Strong's brown dirt sprites are jinxing my html! The JPEG is supposed to be the REAL Mr. Knightley...

~cassandra Thu, Mar 20, 1997 (18:38) #82

Amen Queen Kaf!!! Chacun a son gout, but there is only one Mr KNightley for me: JEREMY! JEREMY! JEREMY! JEREMY! JEREMY! JEREMY! JEREMY! JEREMY!

~Kali Thu, Mar 20, 1997 (18:39) #83

No offense taken, Cindy...I like and highly esteem Mr. Strong...however - he doesn't leave a trail of pixie dust in his wake as does our Tinkerbell- er, Jeremy!

~bernhard Thu, Mar 20, 1997 (18:40) #84

AMEN

~Kali Thu, Mar 20, 1997 (18:40) #85

Sheesh, what is this, a UN Security Council vote? (Bullwinkle Moose voice)?

~cassandra Thu, Mar 20, 1997 (18:41) #86

Heaven, I'm in heaven and my heart beats so that I can hardly speaaaaaaaak... Thank-you dearest.

~Kali Thu, Mar 20, 1997 (18:42) #87

Or, how 'bout the Mercedes-Benz ads? Falling in Love again...

~cassandra Thu, Mar 20, 1997 (18:45) #88

Like Marlene Dietrich? I like it!!!! We need to come up with some new ways to serenade dear JN.

~Kali Thu, Mar 20, 1997 (18:46) #89

What'll I do when you Are far away And I am blue... What'll I do... What'll I do when I Am wond'ring who Is kissing you... What'll I do... What'll I do with just A photograph To tell my troubles to... When I'm alone With only Dreams of you That won't come true... What'll I do... Okay, that's Irving Berlin for Cass...and Cindy, who's so hot on my Cosmo pic...;)

~bernhard Thu, Mar 20, 1997 (18:47) #90

Kali, you are SOOOOO good!

~Kali Thu, Mar 20, 1997 (18:48) #91

Damn straight...

~cassandra Thu, Mar 20, 1997 (18:48) #92

pixie-dust... Jeremy Knightley sparkles, does he not?

~bernhard Thu, Mar 20, 1997 (18:50) #93

yes, indeed, pixie dust

~cassandra Thu, Mar 20, 1997 (18:50) #94

And more sonnets and poetry too!! Let try to refrain, if we can, from body disecting. Too much of that in CF and now MS. They lust over his hands!

~bernhard Thu, Mar 20, 1997 (18:52) #95

shall we just over the man as a whole, then :)

~cassandra Thu, Mar 20, 1997 (18:52) #96

There's something magical about him, a heavenly force as if he were just walking as a deference to convention....

~bernhard Thu, Mar 20, 1997 (18:54) #97

Oh, I just love looking at him.

~cassandra Thu, Mar 20, 1997 (18:54) #98

Lets' keep going-almost at 100. Yes-Jeremy the whole man: articulate, impish, playful, witty, funny, sparkling, talented....

~bernhard Thu, Mar 20, 1997 (18:55) #99

All thanks to my benefactor and idol!!!! psst, that's you, Kal

~cassandra Thu, Mar 20, 1997 (18:59) #100

OH KALI DEAREST!!!!!! A Thousand thanks. ANd the Cosmo pic too!!! A beautiful song and such appropriate lyrics.
