not dead, so have some icons!

In honour of the summer storm (which involved me watching the local weather -- aieee! I have become old!), have some icons! Otherwise known as Femke has been amusing herself thus far this summer by playing DS and rereading every Scarlet Pimpernel book Project Gutenberg has online...

Howard and Oberon are/were gorgeous people and your icons do them justice. Some said he was too old for Ashley Wilkes, but who could have done better with the role in that Hollywood era?

I know!!! He was the PERFECT Ashley!!!.as was Olivia has Melanie Other than Pygmalion and Pimpernel Smith, I really haven't seen much of Leslie Howard (besides obv. the Scarlet Pimpernel and Gone with the Wind), and the only other thing I've seen Oberon on was this weird movie where she was an ingenue actress and Jack the Ripper was stalking her??? So yeah, if you have any movie recommendations with either her or Leslie, I am all ears! :D :D :D

Yeah, okay, I'm just rambling now! So, let me close with a THANK YOU for liking the icons! ♥

Old movies, *sigh* how good they could be ... pronker June 30 2010, 16:58:30 UTC

Okay, I liked him in these, especially: drama/Intermezzo; comedy/It's Love I'm After; action/biography/ Spitfire. deHavilland was with Bette Davis as costars in It's Love I'm After, and Ingrid Bergman in Intermezzo.

And Oberon, um. well, she was George Sand in A Song To Remember, but I liked her better in Dark Angel, because it was less campy --- I think the drama for Dark Angel was good, even though some of those thirties' movies creak a bit. I remember her more for being very mysterious about her parentage and for being gorgeous into her 70's and having Robert Wolders, who was something like 30 years younger, as her boyfriend when she was busy being a socialite in her late midde age.

Ohhhhh....I shall be getting these as soon as I can commender the father' s netflix queue!!!! Thank you! ♥ ♥ ♥ And Oberon was George Sand??? Really? I assume the movie was about her romance with Chopin? (I might have to see that -- campy or not it's like Chopin's 200th b-day year or something)

And yeah -- she was amazing -- having all those younger boyfriends/husbands. And I read somewhere they used to put really heavy make-up on her to disguise her Anglo-Indian heritage (along with re-training her how to speak?). I've also heard (though I don't know if this is substantiated) that he was in some really old movies from India, before she went to England. All I have to aay is that despite the book stating that Marguerite is red-blonde, she will always be a brunette to me. :D

Kingdom Hearts 358/2 OMG! I'm actually still stuck on that game, I need to beat it at some point. Gonna save some. :3

[edited] 'cus morning typing is not my forte.

I'm still stuck in it, too, actually...lol. I'm like somewhere in the 250s day-wise, and I just think "I should play it more" and then proceed to continue to lose my DS somewhere in the room...

Although I have to say, I enjoy the Axel/Roxas interactions....XD

I'm only a little familiar with these fandoms, but I just wanted to say YAY you're still around! Glad to see something from you.

Also, I think you're in the Merlin fandom. If you still follow it, how're you feeing about season 3?

I just came over to your journal to read some Seto/Anzu fic because I'm trying to finish a piece for by by obabscribbler's contest community, by ygodrabble, and your style of writing always manages to spark my inspiration.

praiseofshadows June 30 2010, 21:21:42 UTC

Hahah, yeah, I'm not really familiar with the fandoms of these either (assuming the Scarlet Pimpernel even has a fandom...idk?), but I'm still around on lj kindasorta

As for Merlin...I know there is a season 3 but that's all I know. I stopped watching it halfway through season 2. There was no real reason for it -- actually, I never even saw how Merlin and Arthur got rid of Arthur's troll stepmother! I should get back to it. So, I'm happy that they're doing a season 3? (And I hope Bradley got the television he wanted on the set for the world cup!)

And I'm glad I could help with your inspiration :D It's always cool to hear that someone is reading my old fic! ♥ And that's really cool there's a ygo drabble community...if I ever starting writing fanfic again, I will totally check it out!
