And the mirror revealed a face she didn't know
Today was mostly a loss in terms of sleep and staring at the screen, but later in the evening I watched an unintended double feature of The Prisoner of Zenda (1937) and Outrageous! (1977) and that was a great improvement. I may attempt to talk intelligently about one of these movies at some point, but not tonight.*

Very. (It has Ronald Colman, Raymond Massey, Douglas Fairbanks, Jr., Madeleine Carroll, Mary Astor, and a young David Niven. It would have been a feat if it had not been good.) I have still not read the original novel, so I can't speak to the fidelity of this adaptation, but as a classic Central European fantasy—in the sense that Ursula K. Le Guin's Orsininian Tales are fantasy, or Lloyd Alexander's Westmark—with swashbuckling, romance, and some odd corners of politics, it was lovely.
Which tangentially reminds me that now that I have a paid account, I really need to learn how to make icons. I have been wanting one of Ronald Colman as Sydney Carton for nearly a year now.

Is this the fellow?
I just whipped those up from some of the first images that came up in a google image search. Basically, an lj icon is any jpg or gif image equal to or less than 100 x 100 pixels.

The one on the right definitely is. The one on the left may be a younger version or a bad angle.

I don't have any programs on my computer for manipulating images; I can't change the size of anything I download and I certainly can't add text. There is probably some freely available, easily downloadable software that could solve this problem, but I don't know where it is.

Here. (http://www.anelnoath.com/pspsware.zip) I don't know if it'll work on a mac, though. Failing that, if you send me an image and tell me what text you want on it, I can make icons for you.

I'm actually surprised your computer doesn't have any image editing software. Windows has come with a version of Paint since forever, though I don't remember how good it was for resizing images. Mac users usually brag about how their computers are made with artists in mind, so I assume the mac would at least come with a default analogous programme. I advise you to poke around (assuming my Paint Shop Pro doesn't work).

What movie is that from, by the way? Your link doesn't work.

A Tale of Two Cities, 1935. It works for me . . .

Fascinating. That link produces an error page: "Forbidden—client tried to access a page that the server is not allowed to return (eg, directory listings when listings disabled)." But I am still seeing images from the links that I posted. Is it something as simple as the presence of a www in the address or not?

I used absolutely no esoteric HTML in posting the link: < a href = " http : // www . classicmoviefavorites . com / colman / taletwo7 . jpg " > etc. < / a > So I have no idea what is going on.
