I've seen next to nothing of Deeny's acting so I don't know whether he could pull it off, but I think Gorman certainly could even if he is a bit old.Lydiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07395626481860312194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4523012080492654376.post-48919891912426185292013-01-22T20:45:44.192-06:002013-01-22T20:45:44.192-06:00Do the Mr. Collins wave.

My word!<br />Think Lovelinesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13978252657249945553noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4523012080492654376.post-37293794599240890172013-01-22T18:39:43.120-06:002013-01-22T18:39:43.120-06:00Ok, I do love to hate Mr. Collins....but I also lo...Ok, I do love to hate Mr. Collins....but I also love to love him *shocker*! I named my last fish after him because he was a bit of a pompous peacock. The fish, I mean. But I love to love him because I feel that he and Charlotte Lucas had the best marriage in the book ( if you don't count the last bit where Elizabeth and Jane get hitched). Mr. Collins saved poor Charlotte Lucas. What was she facing? She walked into it with eyes wide open, and I feel like they both got exactly what they expected/wanted out of their relationship. He didn't beat her, or abuse her, nor she him. Because I can assure you, had I married him, he'd be buried in his precious garden.

I did love Tom Hollander in the 2005 version - because I love everything Tom Hollander does - but it would have been great to have had Spall instead, to fit with the rest of the properly-aged cast.<br /><br />I liked Guy Henry as a deliberately re-characterized Mr. Collins in LiA. Actually, that's how I feel about most of that miniseries. He definitely wasn't the Collins of the book, but he did a good job with what they gave him.Cassidyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03596345781746342408noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4523012080492654376.post-65484487293630381782013-01-22T14:12:36.750-06:002013-01-22T14:12:36.750-06:00The Mr. Collins waves, hah-everyone loves that the...The Mr. Collins waves, hah-everyone loves that then.<br /><br />I have only seen the creepy Mr. Collins and the midget Mr. Collins, but the midget Mr. Collins was in the "Pretending Pride and Prejudice," so in my estimation he does not count.Livia Rachellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02755623391278276925noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4523012080492654376.post-84526150461982459802013-01-22T13:50:09.110-06:002013-01-22T13:50:09.110-06:00I've also noticed that on my tablet (which is ...I've also noticed that on my tablet (which is powered by Andriod), it's pretty difficult to comment but it's do-able.

I can never seperate Tom Hollander in the 2005 from Oscar Hamley in Wives and Daughters, so he doesn't work well for me. But the 1995 David Bamber is perfect, IMHO -- although not perfect to the book. What a character he is! He has the Mr. Collins simper down to an art. ;) <br /><br />And Miss Elizabeth, in case you noticed here I AM commenting...I'm not on my Surface, but on a computer. :) Which is why this is working!
