Bwaha, so, not shy, just "Oh God, why are people." That'll do.
I don't think shyness and pride are mutually incompatible
No, no, certainly not. I meant "when people pass him off as MERELY shy." Which they've been doing as long as I've been fannish on the internet, so I can't use it as an excuse to growl at the 2005.
Tangentially, I wish I knew what the HECK Rintoul was up to with his eye contact choices, and whether it was on purpose. Sight lines are so fundamental to actors I can't imagine he's unaware of what he's doing -- and he's RSC trained! -- but he MAKES NO SENSE to me unless he's not playing Darcy as shy...but autistic. Which would be brilliant, but, in 1980???
I do really, really like The Fabric of Dialogue, and I think it's available online
Cool! I'm going to grab John Wiltshire off the library shelf, too, next time I'm downtown.
