Me either
I think Bob Hoskins as Micawber was better than McKellen.
Tulkinghorn seemed to enjoy bullying the vulnerable.
He could tall that Lady D disdained him and consequently he couldn’t let her get away with that. The moment he got a whiff of a skeleton in her closet, he was bent on torturing her with the information to make her pay for looking down on him.
IIRC Lady Dedlock also had an interest in Jarndyce vs Jarndyce. Females weren’t prohibited from inheriting and Primogeniture wasn’t legally required. (e.g. in Pride and Prejudice, Lady Catherine DeBourgh’s daughter will inherit Rosings Park and the remainder of her father’s estate.)
Entails were established to keep properties from being broken up by being split among siblings. But entails were not legally required either. The property/money in question in the J vsJ case wasn’t entailed.
Are you kidding? No way.
The score make repeated use of “Over the Hills and Far Away.” You will probably find an instrumental version of it.
I loved that series!
Furthermore, the producers have stated that this is not meant to be colorblind casting, because the characters actually refer to race in their dialogues.
The director or producer used words like alternate reality and heightened reality.
Quite!
When it was announced that Shirley MacLaine would join the cast of Downton Abbey as Cora’s American mother, MacLaine said she was so excited, she couldn’t wait to be fitted for her bustle.
Bustle? It was the 1920s.
I agree. Softening Becky’s character is ruining it for me, although it’s not nearly as bad as the Reese Witherspoon version, which was positively ghastly.

And Lady Featherstone’s gowns are from an even later period.
18th century - Queen and her ladies and Lady Danbury
Regency (empire waist) - most of the ton
Victorian - Lady Featherstone
I honestly think Lady F’s gowns are different because the empire waist style would be too unflattering on Polly Walker. She probably got it in her contract that she didn’t have to wear them.
And she threw her own family under the bus and the family of her best friend.
I am the opposite of a fan of McGowan.
Edward a dandy? I disagree!
It wasn’t that the film industry wanted to silence posters on IMDB; it’s that Amazon never wanted to be in the business of running a a discussion forum. That’s why they gradually started taking down the system almost from the moment they purchased the site. They wanted the database, not the message boards.
Right away, they altered some of the long standing aspects of the IMDB boards. They created maximum thread lengths, posting quotas, reduced the number of mods, altered the terms of service, and pruned down the maximum number of threads allowed on specific boards. (e.g. tons of threads for popular programming like Game of Thrones. Many fewer threads for older, less popular titles.)
You should see the colors in Bridgerton, then.
I didn’t mean he isn’t a good horseman; just that there was a little too much enthusiasm and flair in his style, imo. We shall have to politely disagree. 🙂
Fred’s visit was a reminder of Scrooge’s deceased sister.
Me too! I love them all. This is my current favorite but I also really love the Patrick Stewart version and The Muppets. Scrooge with Albert Finney is also wonderful and has the best scenes of Fezziwig’s Christmas party.
I must also cop to loving the Mickey Mouse version. 🙃
lol
I’ve always thought Dominic West a little sinister-looking, actually. Maybe I got that from watching him in Nicholas Nickleby, I don’t know. Bailey doesn’t have that dark quality in his facial features; he’s kind of wimpy-looking. I’m not a fan of the character, either.
