PLEASE NOTE: Numbers are above, not below, the icons, and please tell me which icons you're taking, not "snagging a few!" because I really am of a curious nature and I'd like to know what's popular. ;-) Thanks!

Ditto! If I was a celebrity, I would behave like that. After all, it's the fans that make them who they are!

I'm sick to death of Spiderman! I always liked Batman better anyways. ;-P Have you seen Batman Begins?

I'm not sure, since I'm always getting Joseph and Ralph confused! lol! I think Connie Neilson is a pretty good actress, from what I've been able to see of her.

Ooh yes! I've always preferred Batman as well! :D And NEVER Superman.

Hahah! I've always found Joseph to be the better looker and actor. He is in Elizabeth and Shakespeare in Love. Ralph was in the English Patient.

Connie Nielson is great! Especially in Gladiator.

Who wants Clark Kent when you can watch Bruce Wayne? lol. Plus I've always liked the realism of Batman as opposed to Superman -- in theory it's plausible, while aliens don't exist.

So, Ralph was in The Great Raid, and Joseph was in Elizabeth? I like Ralph better, then. Sorry! Dudley in Elizabeth irritates me...

She should have won an Oscar for that IMVHO...even though it's not a favourite movie, she still did a good job. (and her costumes -- wow! Not 100% accurate, but still so pretty...)

BTW -- I am sitting here loving all these fashion plate looking lady icons you're using. They're wonderful! :-)

[psychie.livejournal.com]

Yes! I quite agree. And Alfred adding the extra Englishness is a plus :D

No no, Joseph was also in The Great Raid. :D http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0001212/

OH. I agree! As much as I love Shakespeare in Love, Cate's performance was far better than Gwyneth's. The costumes are amazing!!! I hope they are equally as great in the second film.

Thank you! And of course I love yours :D

Sorry it took me so long to reply -- I had to leave town for the entire weekend. Hope you enjoyed yours.

Ha ha! Yes. :-)

Oh, okay. Mea culpa! Thanks. (I told you I get them confused!!)

From what I've seen of the Golden Age promo images and the icons here on LJ, they seem to be verrrrry impressive indeed....

Thank you!! I love that pose/scene/the way they're holding each other. It's so sweet, and even while watching OMF I knew I had to icon that...;-) I've a bunch more "in progress" but they're not as good as I'd like them to be. :-/ I guess I need to work harder and then blog them! lol.

Well I hope you enjoyed your trip! My weekend was uneventful. I caught some sort of flu! :{

I hope the Golden Age is better than everyone is saying. But I am not too hopeful.

Well all of your icons are fab! So I am sure they will all turn out great. :D

Thank you! I am sorry you're sick, though! :-/ Drink lots of water, eat lots of chicken soup, and watch lots of costume dramas!! ;-P

Yeah, my sentiments exactly!!

You're being sweet, thank you. :-D
