I've been so busy watching kdramas, that I feel guilty for neglecting all my "to be read soon" books sitting on my shelf. Let me just say that I loved Matthew MacFadyen in P&P. I think he fit the role of Darcy and the overall production style very well (loved that single camera span, too). He even surpassed Colin Firth (my favorite Darcy until then) in my book, keeping in mind that the movie and mini-series are two totally different styles, and each have their own pros and cons. He is such a fantastic actor (MI-5/Spooks), and I can't wait to watch Death at a Funeral (with wife Keeley Hawes, another one of my favs - Under the Greenwood Tree, MacBeth-Shakespeare ReTold). I also loved Tom Hollander as Mr. Collins. His body language alone made me laugh out loud a couple of times.

I also like Elizabeth Gaskell's novels, but I prefer BBC productions. Wives and Daughters is a must-see (Keeley Hawes, Justine Waddell, Anthony Howell, and Tom Hollander), but my ultimate favorite is North & South. I rank it right up there with P&P. Richard Armitage really brought out Thornton character (much more than the novel). I must have watched over half a dozen times. Too bad he plays the villan in Robin Hood. I haven't read any Trollope yet, but after watching so many BBC productions, I guess I should give it a try (after I catch up on all my kdramas). Haha.

ellerdnic - I also love reading Phillippa Gregory, one of my favorite historical fiction authors. I hear they're making a new movie version of The Other Boleyn Girl.

My all-time favorite British comedy is Coupling. I can't even count the number of times I laughed-so-hard-till-my-belly-ached/almost-spit-out-my-food while watching. Why can't American TV ever be that funny? Oh yeah, first there need to be better American actors. What was with the HORRIBLE casting in the US version?

I've never watched any daily kdramas before, but AZN started playing Here Comes Ajumma recently. At first, I couldn't really get into it, but given there wasn't much else to watch, I gave it a try. The first twenty or so episodes weren't too exciting, but then I found more episodes on veoh & now I'm hooked. Why can't we get KBS America in N.Cal?

Yeah, I think more discomfiting than 16-year-olds dancing sexily is knowing they'd been trained to dance like that since they were 10 or 11. Marketing sexuality is nothing new but some things are plain disturbing -- thong underwear for children, anyone?

I really find this disturbing. They have no business whatsoever dancing half dressed at that age. Tolerance my foot. I'm utterly disgusted by what we are being exposed to. And it's getting harder for kids NOT to try to fit in with what is the "norm." You don't have to got an Amish community just make sure that you are in your kids lives and I don't believe in children having any rights whatsoever on how to dictate what to buy. I can't imagine why parents can't simply say NO to buying a Britney-look-alike clothing. Argh!
