Julius Caesar Icons (BBC 1979)

[thisbluespirit]

I made a set of 35 icons for the BBC version of Julius Caesar (1979). I wasn't intending to, but I screencapped it for other reasons & then thought it would icon rather nicely (and be much easier than certain other things, like, urgh, Sapphire & Steel. I love S&S, obviously, but not my screencaps of it.)

I don't know whether anyone even wants icons of this Julius Caesar, but anyway... I made some. (Although, YOU SHOULD. ;-p)

Cast: Richard Pasco (Brutus), David Collings (Cassius), Keith Michell (Antony), Charles Gray (Caesar), Elizabeth Spriggs (Calpurnia), Virginia McKenna (Portia), Sam Dastor (Casca) & others.

The usual rules apply: want, take, have, credit. Comments are ♥, but no matter how much you love me, no stabbing kthx.

Some textures by silk_roads.

Also, it was kind of like doing a multi-caption competition where I had no wit to think of the captions, so if anyone wants to use them to add text, go ahead. Or give me a number icon and a witty/literate caption and I will do my best. (Long quotes do not fit easily on icons, though.)


Also of a similar nature and of probably little interest to the majority of my flist, I made a resources post for david_collings of fanfic & vids for his characters. (When I said I was bored, I meant it. Plus, I'm a librarian who can't do librarian-y things.) If you go to look, please tell me if I missed stuff!

I stink at captions, really, but how would #17 go with "lean and hungry look", do you think? That face wants something.

[thisbluespirit]

Heh, you are right - and very apt, thank you. If I redo them, I shall add that. (I think, as it turns out, nobody does want them, unsurprisingly... Well, at least I had fun making them!)

And, hey, WHAT ARE YOU SAYING ABOUT DAVID COLLINGS'S FACE? :Lol:

[justice-turtle.livejournal.com]

*snortle* I was speaking of the particular rather than the general, as you very well know. ;-)

(Who is in #16? Now there's an expression that really wants a caption, but I can't think of anything appropriate if I don't know who it is...)

[thisbluespirit]

I did, yes. :-) (I liked that line, in relation to Cassius being played by him - he reads too many books, observes people with a mocking look and should be fatter! Haha.)

You can't see which are the early ones I made, because Photobucket put them all back into alphabetical order for me (hmph) but, yes, it was those two and the rest that had me doing exactly that: INSERT WITTY TEXT HERE. *has none*

Although I did come v close to putting "Cassius, I CAN see you" on 007.

(Oh, like your icon - that was you at Yuletide. I could have had the same, only with SILVER instead. :-D)

ETA: Because I failed to answer the actual question. (head!desk) That is Sam Dastor as Casca.

And, uh, then this happened. *points at icon* (I'd forgotten we discussed "lean and hungry look", but it so definitely wanted something, and I felt like iconing. ^_^)

[thisbluespirit]

:lol: Brilliant! (Also, I think that if anyone ever made a list of "signs you've been hanging round near lost_spook for too long" then making a David Collings icon would definitely be on it. Also: Considering watching 40 year old shows, recognising screencaps of David Collings instantly, being distracted by the periodic table... ;-D)

[scifi-mel.livejournal.com]

Cute icons! They make me want to watch that version :)

[thisbluespirit]

:lol: Thanks. I liked it, but then it had various things in that I like because I am odd and me, so it's hard to say... :-)

*giggleflaildroolstroke* So pretty!!! #17 seems to be a combination of "I see what you did there" and "No, that's NOT a dagger in my pocket" (implying that, yes, he is happy to see you.)

Also, because I am juvenile, there are so many of these that I want to caption with "butts". Hee. Butts.

They're all so lovely that I can't decide which one I want to take, but I will let you know when I do!

[thisbluespirit]

Aw, thank you. :-) So... I need to redo 17 to have 3 different captions, but none for any of the others? *notes* :lol: (I, um, don't think I could quite live with myself if I captioned things with 'butts'. But you can steal and do that on any and all, should you wish. Heh.)

I screencapped it for other things, but it was far too tempting.

And, hi, and I LOVED your fanvids, especially Poker Face which was v v awesome and evil. :-)

ETA: I meant evil in a nice way. I hope that was apparent from the bit where I said I LOVED it. A lot.
