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!

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
