Kind of like this? I assume this is what Jamie Dornan is attempting, clumsily, in the 50 Shades trailer.

YES HIM.

Are you talking about this look? Because my teenage self was all about it:

All the starz!

My lovely grandmother, who used to make me watch the 7-vhs box sets of masterpiece theatre classics while I was growing up, was absolutely in love with Colin Firth as Darcy. For her 80th birthday she got a lifesize cardboard cutout of him.

He managed to find a line between “hot asshole” and “approachable dork” that let him convincingly play the former while actually being the latter. It is the best of all worlds.

Well I don’t mean me now and him then! Yikes. He was a zygote! So was I, so that would’ve been okay.

That’s fine, more Firth for me!

I second this.

Exactly. Firth perfected the surly/smoldering dichotomy. He has not been exceeded since nor will he ever be, so McFayden will have to settle for runner-up.

I have nothing against the bird-chested man in the picture, but I cannot countenance anyone saying there is a superior Darcy to that portrayed by my boyfriend, Mr. Colin Firth. Anyone who thinks the 2005 version is superior OR that Macfadyen is either better looking or a better actor needs to keep Darcy’s name out of…

Came here to say this!

At first I was trying to figure out who the image reminded me of. I thought it was a young Judd Nelson ... or Andrew McCarthy.

this is completely perfect

This is v. good kinja

How I picture Mike Pence pretty much everyday.

Stay gold, thunderbae.

Important to keep in mind what exactly Trump did as CEO of the Trump empire the last two decades, which is basically, sit in on meetings occasionally then fuck around on the Internet.

It’s crazy! Republicans have been trying to ‘run goverment like it’s a business’ FOR YEARS AND ALL WE GET IS GOVERNMENT THAT DOESN’T WORK. Which, obviously, is their intention. So they can go back to their constituents and say, ‘See? See? Government doesn’t work, we gotta run it like a business!’

I love the Politico article that says “he has been surprised that government can’t be run like his business”
