Love Actually (2003 Richard Curtis & scr)

I suggested we play the 'guess the next scene' game. Quickly abandoned that as no matter how well you think you remember it, that's actually a really difficult task.

Thought even more it's Curtis's dirty old man film, and also was getting the feeling that the Christmas angle is really rammed down your throat - 'because it's Christmas this will work, because it's Christmas you can do this', which frankly is a little facile.

Though I'm never not going to love Grant and McCutcheon, Firth and Guillory, Freeman and Page, Atkinson.


"I shouldn't be surprised and a half."

Reminded me how much we enjoyed the Gregor Fisher Glasgow house clearance show Empty (from 2008).
