Love it! Does anyone know what it is Anthony Blanche is reciting?

[motherofpearl13]

Anthony's reciting "The Waste Land" by T. S. Eliot.

Reading this book (and seeing the series) was one of greatest turning points in my life. I dread to think where I'd be now if I never had. I love it more than anything else, ever.

But what did you all think of the new film?

[motherofpearl13]

The book/series was a turning point in my life, too. I saw the series when I was thirteen and I've been completely obsessed ever since, so I know how you feel. The film was so unbelievably terrible that just thinking about it makes me shudder...

Though I know I ought to be disgusted by the vanity of this society, Sebastian is an intoxicating character. "Please don't wake me up....hello." What a pickup line!

"My affair with the Duchess of Vincennes was on an altogether higher plain than any of you hobbledehoys can conceive. Do you know what it was cemented our love? We used the same coloured varnish for our toenails."

Why haven't I watched this series before? Tut, tut. Too much distracting Youtube :-)

Lovely English Oxfordian 20s wit, from a post-war perspective, that is.

Regards and ♥, andrea

@ohmygod851 Definitely the knockout scene of the knockout series of all time. I though the movie was not that bad, if you consider the effort of having to bring it all down to 2 hours or so instead off 11 which this series got. Obviously, the movie never got the same depth, the sense of romantic yearning and loss that this series had. And the movie didnt have these actors (let alone Laurence Olivier). The best tv ever.

@LONDONER01 so do we all I think =) Personally i was anxiously waiting his return throughout the series, in vain it seemed.

[CaptainGrimes1]

Film wasn't that bad old boy

[TheBorzoilover]

All of the actors and actresses in this series were brilliant, and then there was Antony Andrews,he was beyond brilliant.

[perkiomenville]

These guys are undergrads at college? Where's the beer keg? Where's the pizza boxes? C'mon this doesn't seem like a realistic portrait of college life?

[VegaValentino]

Antony looks like the poet Brian Howard!!!! and Sebastian like Lord alfred "bosie" Douglas!

[Wadj1]

Theirs was a delightful and sweet affair. I adored them :o)

[holmsatlarge]

 I Like the reference to Grace Darling.

These people knew how to live!!! Even the rich in this country (USA) are vulgar barbarians in comparison. A lunch at any Ivy leg school these days would probably consist of delivery pizza and jagermiester shots.
