I realize that I'm a full year late to this conversation (I'm new to this site), but I've had a lot of fun reading up on it. I could talk about different actors and adaptations all day long!

MissQuin 31 Aug 10 at 3:32 p.m. GMT

I do!!! I do!!! It's just Ive not met the right man! I said about wedding "plans" on the other topic, but really just fantasies.

I said Regency wedding, 30's style wedding and maybe Victorian. Yes, it's expensive. :) Come over and be another bridemaid?!

Bundle_ 31 Aug 10 at 3:27 p.m. GMT

Oh I wish I'd meet JJ! If I had to, I'd ask him to marry me. But why don't you want to get married?

MissQuin 31 Aug 10 at 3:24 p.m. GMT

Ahh, bless you Bundle! I don't mind older men, in fact I like them better! I hope you meet JJ, I mean it's a match made in heaven surely?

Puffinjill and I were having this wedding discussion. Neither of us are getting hitched, but still, we dream on! I said I'd like an older man, someone whose not childish and idea of a fun date is McDonalds

Who woul you marry topic, Poirot Hastings or Japp! The answers were hysterical.

I think he is still married to Emma Thompson. Odd union, don't you think? Will keep my fingers crossed that you'll run into him one day and sweep him off his feet! He needs a nice, lovely girl like you MQ!

I don't have as many favorite actresses as I do actors, but the ones I do like are Elisabeth Dermont Walsh, Megan Dodds, Drew Barrymore and Kristen Stewart.

MissQuin 31 Aug 10 at 3:14 p.m. GMT

Ive been to Saltram house where Greg Wise was in Sense as Willoughby!! I didn't know til afterwards. Just as well if I fainted there.

Is he still married to Emma thompson? She's been horrible lately. If he divorced her, I'm here! Yeah, in my dreams...

I don't have a favourite actress! But maybe Joanna Lumley as she's intelligent and I wish I was as elegant as her. She stands up for good causes like the Gurkhas and is a animal lover, as am I. Whose yours?

In the Little Princess, that story "supposedly" happened to someone in my family a few generations back. They were stuck at a boarding school and were forced to do all the chores! Or so the rumour goes.

Bundle_ 31 Aug 10 at 3:10 p.m. GMT

I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE, LOVE Greg Wise! He is so handsome! You're going to make me faint, MQ, just thinking about him!

Bundle_ 31 Aug 10 at 3:08 p.m. GMT

I haven't read either book yet. I want to read The Little Princess though. I know it's a children's book but I just love the Liam Cunningham adapt so much!

What are your favorite actresses, btw, MQ?

MissQuin 31 Aug 10 at 3:04 p.m. GMT

Steve John Shepherd...Ive never seen him in anything! I just saw his picture and fell in love with him! I know he was in that horrible Desperate Romantics where my childhood idols,  Dante Gabriel Rossetti and his friends, names were bismirched by debauched goings on!! sob,

I do wish the would STOP remaking the most famous ones. They dodn't even wait 10 yrs now. How many versions of A Christmas Carol and Oliver Twist do you need?

Wilkie Collins now, I'd like them to make some of his. Ive yet to see the moonstone, but I love Greg wise. In fact he's my biggest crush. I could listen to him all day, he sounds as good as he looks! The book was very good, Ive been searching high and low for more Wilkie Collins.

The plot of The Moonstone has been "borrowed" some recent dramas. Have you ever read it?

I'd like them to remake Tenant Of Wildfell Hall though. It sounda like there's a adapt that was close enough to the book. I ade that book and it's as good as Jane Eyre, have you read it?

Bundle_ 31 Aug 10 at 2:58 p.m. GMT

I heard that Wuthering Heights is going to be made again too! Gosh you'd think w/ all the other hundereds and hundereds of classic books they'd make those! I.E. The Woman in White. That hasn't been done for a while.

Gotta look up Steve John Shepherd...

MissQuin 31 Aug 10 at 2:56 p.m. GMT

How long you got?! LOL

Toby Stephens, JJ Feild, Jonathan firth, Colin Firth, Mr Wickham in P&P, Matt smith, Steve John Shepherd, the list goes on.. I'm not flighty or anything! I'm sure there's more for the list you know!

My fave music genre is Symphonic metal, so you see I don't fancy any singers! Those are usually women (not interested) or men who aren't my cup of tea.

Ive not heard about any up and coming costume adapts apart from Jane Eyre been made (again!!)

You like any singers?

Bundle_ 31 Aug 10 at 2:51 p.m. GMT

Who's your biggest crush, MQ?

MissQuin 31 Aug 10 at 2:47 p.m. GMT

I like Matthew Goode! Especially in My Family and Other Animals looking all tanned and lovely!

I playfully told off mcginty for his overally frank remarks about Mr Franco ;) Why are there so many hot actors who begin with F?! Firth, Feild, Franco..

I remember you said about Tom mison but that may have been on the Austen 4 fan site, not on AC forum?

Bundle_ 31 Aug 10 at 2:38 p.m. GMT

I just can't resist talking about guys....

McGinty: You got to see Centurion?! Lucky you!

Miss.Quin: Do you mean Matthew Goode? He was in Brideshead Revisted. I think he's a great actor but not that cute.

But I adore Tom Mison! He was in Third Girl. I don't think I ever mentioned him before....

MissQuin 29 Aug 10 at 5:27 p.m. GMT

I wonder if some enterprising person will set up a hot new collection of bow ties. The emo collection- ones with skulls on. The sk8tr collection and so forth.  One to match every style.

I like that actor in Murder is announced but forget his name?

TheButlerDidIT 29 Aug 10 at 1:58 p.m. GMT

Thanks McGinty.

Erm... bowties are cool.

MissQuin 28 Aug 10 at 1:13 p.m. GMT

Well McGinty has forgiven you for your mistake and  not requesed you change your monkier to TheButlerPutHisFootInIt!

I can discuss actors who are brilliant, but maybe not what your call conventionally attractive.

Burn Gorman is very good. Ive seen in him in a couple of things and he can do different accents that sound genuine. He is an amazing actor. Bleak house, Ordeal By Innocence and the bits Ive seen of Wuthering Heights. I don't hear much about him, so he must be underated. Any other really good actors?

Yeah, sorry I can't give good judgement on actresses, because I not notice them very much.

But onto clothing- part of the appeal for me of costume dramas is that men dress so smartly. I'm very impressed. They look so dapper in their top hats, velvet jackets (I love those!), long Dandy coats, silky waistcoats or even tweeds. Matt Smith even makes bow ties look cute!

I watched An ideal husband the other week. Or part of it. I didn't think much of it because it was so boring! Even though I like Rupert Everett, I'm sure the play or book is much better than that. Has anyone seen that?

TheButlerDidIT 28 Aug 10 at 12:53 p.m. GMT

Well I'm not going to drool over actors that are supposedly 'hot'. There are many talented actors that I am a fan of. Tim Roth is a great British actor but is mostly seen in American tv shows nowadays.

I can't give judgement on how good looking actors are because I don't notice things like that  which girls and certain males normally do.

MissQuin 28 Aug 10 at 9:26 a.m. GMT

Ooh McGinty! your making me blush! See why I have to tell you behave?! What would Miss Marple say?

Welcome Butler, although you made rather a grave error of judgement on McGinty's part, I think you must check his profile!

I saw Railway children about 10 yrs ago. I didn't realise JJ was in it. Ive never watched the Lockhart's because I hated the books. Shame since as there's Matt and JJ, or maybe that's too much to take in for me?!

My fave costume dramas are Bleak House, Pride and predudice and Cranford. Have you seen those? It doesn't have to have delectable men in it. Although it's nice when there is. P&P my fave version is the series, I have two men to admire there.

I fast forwarded bits of T&I. It's a beautifully tragic story. But the film didn't really work for me. The end is sad, I musn't say much else.  because I know the legend so well, I knew what would happen.

McGinty 28 Aug 10 at 8:58 a.m. GMT

Butler - of course you can join in ! You won't be on your own
