One can hardly be expected not to be silly after rewatching the 1982 movie version of The Scarlet Pimpernel. Rather, one can only obtain new lj icons (they’re literary, right?) and post a link to a place where any who desire can download a fantastic Scarlet Pimpernel moodtheme.
Call it a public service post, if you will. But it really is kind of writing-related, as part of the reason I love Sir Percy so much is that he’s what my foppish character Dexy from Rabbit and Cougar wants to grow up to be. See icon.
Also, fans of steampunk, check out this book trailer, by far the awesomest I’ve ever seen:

Ooh! That’s the one version I haven’t seen. Is it more true to the book? The adaptations I’ve seen both took…liberties.

*Shamefaced* I actually have not read the book, though it’s high on my list. But I cannot recommend the movie enough. It is amazing.

Hurrah for that movie! I loved it so much. I need to find out what else that main actor was in. He was AWESOME.
