To start us off ;-)

Nan! Thanks for finally letting us have our own Darcy Drool. It is the most prolific stuff, and I think it resembles the fountain of youth as it makes me feel very young and brash sometimes (as in when you caught me trying to be a proper lady in one sentence but trying to check for buttons and contours in the next.) Oh well...for all the panting and damp Darcians out there, we can have a discussion of when he most evidently manifested his passion ( funny that she couldn't tell!), and why did some of th men dress to the left and later to the right. Don't ask me to explain it - go study the movie and figure it out. It took me two days to finally see what they were seeing. Anyone? Let it pour!

Dress to left or the right? For a long time, well a few days, I had no clue what you were talking about. I guess I am dumb. However when you mentioned specific scenes I watch and it dawned on me!!! How ever I think the second proposal is the only place you see "it" nothing else is too identifiable.

Oh Nan I just love that picture!! He looks left though!!!!!

LEFT, RIGHT OR IN THE MIDDLE IMHO the best left shot is when he is riding the horse (not this scene that Nan kindly posted) to the pond--just before he gets wet and wild!!! You have to be fast though (or, conversely, use that slo-mo feature). To me this would be the true indication of which way this guy goes. Does anyone remember a scene from Urban Cowboy--it is forever etched in my brain and probably the first time I ever thought about the need to dress one way or another--where Scott Glenn is about to ride a bucking something an he reaches down and in to "adjust" himself. Does anyone remember this??

(Stefanie) Dress to left or the right? It took me *forever* to figure what they were talking about was into which side of the trousers gentlemen put their "equipment". I didn't know they had a system until I asked my husband, and he said yes, they find the most comfortable place early on and they don't change sides. The interest in this is because one gentleman changes sides after Pemberley. Not the Padding/sash wieghts/Subway sandwiches they apparently store there from time to time - this is he real stuff as you mentioned in the 2nd proposal, and "it" appears to be in the middle coming down the Netherfield steps as he apologizes to Bingley... I'd like to know why everyone is looking elsewhere while I can't tear my eyes off that fantastic face of his. If I do study other things, I have to rewind and watch the scene again for Him! He does make the *cutest* faces!

(Laura)Oh Nan I just love that picture!! He looks left though!!!!! I noticed that, too. On MY tv he is going from right to left! And, he doesn't look like Clint Eastwood. I think this is an imposter. Has anyone tried to figure out why the last glimpse we have of Him before he asks Lizzie to dance with him at the Netherfield Ball is so odd? It has taken me 2 months to get it in my mind's eye that it truly IS him. Another imposter perhaps?

HAPPY THANKSGIVING, EVERYONE! Gosh, I'll feel guilty if I'm the only one posting on Thanksgiving, but I needed a fix. (Had to check out FanFic, too, at RoP; thank you, Stef, for another wonderful episode of "Concessions". PLEASE continue it on this board, without the PG-13 restrictions. I can imagine how painful it must have been for Darcy to sit through a wedding dinner; he probably already found out from Bingley where their new bedchamber was so they could race up there at the first chance.) Pre-Pond I've heard so much that this is a great right vs. left scene; somehow I just don't "see it." When he's sitting in the saddle, there are so many folds in the material, can't determine what's real. Pre-Dance MarciaH: Has anyone tried to figure out why the last glimpse we have of Him before he asks Lizzie to dance with him at the Netherfield Ball is so odd? You mean when he turns to look at her dancing with Collins and that portrait with the backside of a horse (how appropriate) is right behind him? I thought this was the extreme look of lust; he's trying so hard to resist her by walking around looking at others, but in vain .... That particular shot of him may have been filmed on a different day or month even; his appearance did change alot at times. Where the eyes fall Has anyone noticed where he's looking at times when he's with L? During the first proposal scene, in the first few minutes he does look down her body somewhat, I guess to help shore up his courage and remind him why he's there. Then, during their argument he only looks at her face. At the very very end, before leaving, he looks her up and down like, well, it's the last time.

Hey, I've been checking the boards every couple hours for some posts, but nobody's here 'cept you and me. Well, now there is a thought, continuing Concessions here, heck I could just e-mail it to you, I don't know that anybody here would care about the storry. Thank you by the way for your comments. As for that weird scene at the ball, I think he looks hung over, his eyes are all puffy/swollen. In the Making of P&P2 book it says that the Rosings scenes, the first proposal , Netherfield and I think Pemberley were done early in the filming, then CF was gone for 2-3 months while everybody else stayed. Then he returned to film the Meryton dance, London and the second proposal were done at the very end. The last scene filmed was Lady C's visit to Longbourne. I've heard so much that this is a great right vs. left scene; somehow I just don't "see it." When he's sitting in the saddle, there are so many folds in the material, can't determine what's real. Well, if you go really slow you can imagine it's there! It might be, but it is hard to tell. Only place I am sure is proposal #2. That is a definite.

Has anyone tried to figure out why the last glimpse we have of Him before he asks Lizzie to dance with him at the Netherfield Ball is so odd? I, too, always thought he looked odd until I noticed that it was because he is looking in a mirror in order to covertly watch Lizzy. Can this be what you mean?

i didn't watch, so i'm not sure what the odd look is about

HOORAH!!! A&E is rebroadcasting P&P in its entirety on Sunday, November 29, from 1:00 pm-7:00 pm Eastern Time. Get your hipwaders out, ladies. I feel a tide of drool about to overtake us. Let your friends know, this is the place to luxuriate in Colin adoration and plain old lust! ;-D

I'm gettin the popcorn ready. Thanks Karen and I love the new P&P picture.

There seems to be something odd going on with this topic. It never shows up under the "New" listing. The only reason I knew that people had posted was by looking at the list of recent postings. Only 15 responses! That cannot be right. There seems to be a year missing when I replay the responses. Does anyone else have that problem?

You're absolutely right Allison, I had the same problem. Karen, isn't that Thanksgiving weekend? Just think, we will all be watching at the same time!!! What thoughts will go out to the Universe that day. I wonder if Colin we feel our vibrations?

Will let the powers that be know. However, we may have to start a new topic.

SALE!!! For those of you who don't have the boxed set or would like a backup, Sam's Club has it for about $35 and the same has been reported for Costco/Price Club. Of course, those would be in addition to the copies taped off the TV. Can't have too many.

It's great to see Spring come up so fast. Biography Magazine lists P&P's showing the end of this month but nothing in the classroom yet. The complete tapes are shown there, with the missing scenes but maybe since they are showing 6 hours straight we will get the classroom version , HOPE springs eternal

(Lucie) but maybe since they are showing 6 hours straight we will get the classroom version , HOPE springs eternal Hate to be a pessimist, but A&E has to get in all those commercials, so I doublt that this will be the complete version.

Most disturbing to find my $104.00 (including tax) Darcy is now selling so cheaply...but delighted to think it will encourage new people to watch what they have been missing with the cut-for-ads A&E version. My main complaint is that even with the expense of over $100, I had to have that diaphanous A&E logo lurking in the lower right corner of absolutely every frame!!!

Ladies, since we're missing so many responses on this board, we think it's better just to start a new topic number. Darcy Drool is now at Topic 112. Hopefully, we'll be able to bring the old comments back onto this topic. See you at 112!

I once entered a response under the "penname " Toots, but it seems to have disappeared. So here we go again. In addition to the other examples, I love the scene when after the wedding Lizzy touches Darcy's thigh in order to steady herself. But I'm not sure that it is the only purpose. The question is which??
