31 Hornblower icons

I was just randomly screen-capping in the last few episodes. They vary in quality, but I was having fun making them. As usual: want. take. have. credit appreciated. :)

Ooh these are shiny! I nabbed the Bush and Archie one, thanks!

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Thank you and enjoy! Those two are my favourite characters. I totally need to watch the first few eps again to get my Archie fix. :)

I was just saying to Paul last week that its a shame that there wasn't more Bush and Archie screen time, they had fabulous chemistry!

I just got the box set on the cheap so a reviewing is in order.

Also, was just being nosey and reading your comments, you have to watch Withnail & I, seriously its amazing and they have released a version with Paul's commentary on it.

I borrowed the box set form a friend, but I totally want to buy it. It's not cheap at all here. In fact I think I'll have to order it.

Ooh, that's brilliant on the Withnail and I info. I'll have to look for the one with commentary! Thanks! :)

Seconding the Withnail rec--brilliant film, and he looks SO GOOD in it. :)

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Eee! Cool! I have a pay cheque burning my pocket, so I may just have to go looking for it soon. :)

I think it's cheaper to buy it from amazon.uk than it is to buy it here. That's what I did. *wink*

And I think I need more Hornblower icons (only have this one), so I may need tonab some of these.

PS - Have you seen the latest Torchwood? I watched most of a marathon they were running on Foxtel. Anyway it has the guy who plays Matthews in it!

Fair warning, there's a big character death - just in case. I know you watched Torchwood, but can't remeber if you were emotionally invested in any other characters. ;-)

Hello friend! *waves*
Yep, I think I may have to buy that. :)

Nab away! I make way too many icons when I get going, but it means a few are reasonable. :)

I have seen the five parter. It was actually pretty good! I really hope they have the same or a similar writing style for the next season. I must admit to not realising that was Matthews until you said it. *doh* Awesome! :)

Bought the version with commentary. Can't wait to finish watching it. I had to stop cos of family complaining in the other room. But Eeee! \o/

Nice cropping =)

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Thanks! *Takes Muppet approval and smishes it tight*
I was getting so frustrated with the colouring. There are whole eps where they seem to film with a blue filter on the lens because it's snowing etc. and there's not a lot I can do with those ones, but icons are fun! :P

*pets The McGann*

Want to go watch Hornblower now. Will have to introduce it to Meg this summer she's all prepared for the con next year.

I have a rather large collection of his movies, btw. Good and omgbad *g* Was kind of a teensy bit obsessed for awhile there :)

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Oh yeah. Have you got something called Withnail and I? I keep seeing references to it and he looks so damn young. :P

Yeah, um, I think I understand that obsessed thing you speak of... perhaps I am following in your footsteps atm. Heh.

Oh and do you have any ideas on this post (http://starrylizard.livejournal.com/471943.html)? I still can't find any way to get me a copy. Not that it's particularly good quality.

Edit: also Hornblower is awesome! But you'll have to cover Meg's eyes when people get blown up and stuff.

[smuffster.livejournal.com]

lol, we're taking her to see the new Harry Potter on the weekend. She's kind of not squeamish at all :)

Withnail and I. OMG. You have not seen it? It was one of the very first things he did and it was Richard E. Grants first film ever. It's the most amazing movie ever and you will love it to death. You should be able to pick it up at JB for pretty cheap. I think they've just re-released it. My copy is a region 2 otherwise I'd send you a copy.

OMG!

I shall email you about other stuff tomorrow. I have The Biographer which was about Princess Di's death and a bunch of very b-grade films. Some of my stuff is on video, but I should see if I can track down better versions.

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

I actually nabbed a copy of The Biographer, but haven't got to watching it yet. I saw a picture of one movie or series where he has a monocle and I kinda want to see it, 'cos MONOCLE! Ha! But yeah, haven't found that one yet. I'll have a look for Withnail and I though. JB prob has it if it's out. :)

Email away. Your insight will be most appreciated. I'm still working my way through the eight doctor audios. They're finally out of that other emo universe. It was starting to annoy me. Daleks are much more fun! :)

[smuffster.livejournal.com]

lol, I have that one. The Monocled Mutineer. I THINK I converted it to dvd when I was working at the library, but not 100% sure.

Oh, I loved the divergent universe. My favourite stories are set there. Scherzo and The Natural History of Fear and Caerdroia. The only one I love more than those is Seasons of Fear, just because I LOVE Stephen Perring's voice. He's divine as Grayle, and I love him to death as The Kroka.

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Oh I enjoyed them, but there were a few where I was all, huh? I think I listened to the first part of one audio three times, because I just wasn't concentrating enough to get what was going on. I think the best and the worst of them so far are in that verse. Caerdroia was awesome from the the beginning when he tricks The Kroka into going into his head to when he's split into three and there's the trippy happy one and the angry unethical one and the boring one in the middle. \o/ That was definitely very good.

[smuffster.livejournal.com]

I love the banter between the three of them in that episode. On the one hand it is a kind of light hearted ep, but it has very dark undertones. The scene though when they first get to Caedroia is so hilarious, with the cows and the insults *g*

Know what you mean though. Some of those eps are a bit crap.

[ljmckay.livejournal.com]

SO PRETTY OMG.

not taking any right now but I may just bookmark this to come look at the pretties.

<3 those boys...

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Aren't they just!? *squishes them* Thank you!

[meremoon.livejournal.com]

Oh, very nice! Thanks for sharing, I'm sure I'll be back to snag some of these.

[starrylizard.livejournal.com]

Thanks! Enjoy! :)

[slashweaver.livejournal.com]

Nice work! And excellent timing... :-) I have snagged one of Horatio (HB3, it was). Thank you, hon!
