In Which I’m Giving Away Mr. Darcy

by BooMama on 5 May 2008

in Rambling

Today I had a delightful lunch with my hubby and my little man, and when I got home I noticed a FedEx box propped against the front door.

And do you know what was inside that FedEx box? The one and only Mr. Fitzwilliam Darcy.

Well, I mean, it’s Mr. Darcy in DVD form. But still. It was a very special moment. And I think we should have ourselves a little giveaway to celebrate.

(However, I should probably warn you that my cousin Paige is visiting right now, and given the fact that she has never met a British romance that she didn’t absolutely love, I’m probably going to have to hide the DVDs for the next 24 hours.)

(In fact, she turned on the TV last night with the sole purpose of catching the last few minutes of “Masterpiece Theatre.” Neveryoumind that I couldn’t even tell her what channel PBS is on because as you know I AM VERY CULTURED AND REFINED.)

So.

If you’d like to win The Romance Collection Special Edition, which is bascially over 30 hours of “star-studded, classic literary adaptations on 14 DVDs” (you can see all the details right here), all you have to do is leave a comment and tell me so. I’ll leave the giveaway open until tomorrow night at 6 o’clock central time, at which point I’ll select a winner using random.org.

And just for kicks, tell me your favorite romantic movie when you leave your comment.

Oh, it’ll be jolly good fun.

(Sorry.)

(I couldn’t help it.)

(Sorry.)

This giveaway is now closed.

Pick Me! I love them all – Pride and Prejudice, Sense and Sensibilty — love ‘em!

Molly May 5, 2008 at 6:49 pm

Oh.My.Gosh. This has seriously made my day, seriously. Thanks for entering me!

Honest to YaYa May 5, 2008 at 6:51 pm

What a great giveaway!
If I won this I would definitely give it to my daughter who is a big JA fan!

As for myself, I’m more into “chick flicks” and my favorite is “You’ve Got Mail”…I’m a sap and cry at the end every time…LOL!

I’m having a giveaway too though not as grand as yours ☺

Cheri May 5, 2008 at 6:52 pm

Well, let me be one of the first to say I would love me some romance. Only Husband would love me to have some romance. So p

Sense and Sensibility is a classic. Hope I win!!

Lindsey May 5, 2008 at 6:54 pm

Ooh, ooh! Me, me!

Pride and Prejudice. I refuse to settle for anything less than Mr. Darcy. :)

Sweetanlo May 5, 2008 at 6:54 pm

I would love to win! Please enter me.

Bob Cleveland May 5, 2008 at 6:58 pm

My favorite romantic movie was “Le Mans”.

It was about sports cars and racing and hey THAT’s romantic to me.

But also remember I only have one more week NOT to be 70….

Melene May 5, 2008 at 6:58 pm

I would love to win! One of my favorite romantic movies is An Affair to Remember. BOTH versions!

Valerie May 5, 2008 at 6:59 pm

Oh please, random.org, please pick me! I really would love to have those movies conveniently queued up on the Apple TV so I can lose myself in some fine romance classics. It would really make my day after some twit leaves a pile of garbage outside my front door because he obviously thinks I would sink so low as to drink *Cherry Coke Zero*! And then leave my trash somewhere besides the dumpster! Obviously, twit neighbor doesn’t know that I enjoy every single calorie of the plain bonafide Coke Classic. And I don’t litter.

Sorry, that was really more than you wanted to know, I’m sure. But it sure felt good to get it out :-)

Telima May 5, 2008 at 7:04 pm

Oh, oh, oh, I LOVE these movies. Well, okay, the ones I’ve seen. But I would love to own these. I think that my all-time favorite romantic movie is Pride and Prejudice. But I also like Win a Date with Tad Hamilton (it’s better than it sounds, I promise!) and Serendipity (which makes me think of my husband when we were dating). I love your site and thanks for the giveaway!

Vicky May 5, 2008 at 7:10 pm

Oh good! Another chance! I was so hoping to win this over at Rocks in my Dryer, but alas, I did not :) Here’s hoping for 2nd time’s a charm!

Favorite Romantic Movie(s): Sound of Music, Emma, and P&P :)

brandiandboys May 5, 2008 at 7:11 pm

Missy May 5, 2008 at 7:26 pm

Kerry May 5, 2008 at 7:33 pm

Oh, I just love BBC’s Pride and Prejudice. If I won this, I’d totally share it with my mother-in-law, who is on bedrest with a broken foot. We could have a romance marathon.

My favorite romance would have to be Love Actually…I adore that movie!

Please pick me!

Tessa May 5, 2008 at 7:36 pm

Favorite romance? Hands down Gone With The Wind. And anything with Audrey Hepburn.

Amanda May 5, 2008 at 7:50 pm

I do get gulpy tears during French Kiss.
I’m not much of a movie-sap, so that’s saying something.

Pam May 5, 2008 at 7:51 pm

I love Dances with Wolves…..I love that much of it is told from the perspective of his thoughts…..Pam, South Bend

Kari May 5, 2008 at 7:51 pm

Whoohoo…what a giveaway! I am not too terribly cultured and ‘stuff’ but I did really enjoy Pride and Prejudice except for the fact that I watched them in VHS and out of order! Whoops! :) My FAV romantic movie has got to be either How to Lose a guy in 10 Days or 13 Going on 30! Thanks!!

Jennifer May 5, 2008 at 7:51 pm

Smiles!

Robyn May 5, 2008 at 7:51 pm

I’d love to win this collection!! Thank you!

Shauna May 5, 2008 at 8:02 pm

Call me crazy, but my favorite love story is Life Is Beautiful. I usually have to stop watching after the larger-than-life romance at the beginning, but just thinking about Guido’s love for his wife (and of course his son) the rest of the movie makes me want to start bawling right now.

Amy Beth @ Ministry So Fabulous! May 5, 2008 at 8:03 pm

OH PLEASE PICK ME, O Random Selector.

My favorite is The Holiday. :)

Anne May 5, 2008 at 8:03 pm

Oooh, pick me, pick me!
